The organism known as thread is far more complex than either the settlers or the inhabitants of Pern knew, until steps were taken to finally capture and dissect the organism after the discovery of AIVAS. The organism exists on the red star in a relatively dormant state as ovoids with a tough, frozen exterior shell containing ice and oort debri. As it is a life developed in the incredibly cold climate of space, much of it contains liquid gasses such as liquid helium in particular. It's biological make-up shows that thread ovoids were originally more complex and intelligent lifeforms, perhaps even resulting in sentient beings, from the Oort cloud. However, during the journey away from the Oort cloud, the liquid helium within the organism gradually depleted, resulting in a more machine-like, non-intelligent lifeform. The possibility that thread actually could be connected to an intelligent, and thus far more dangerous species, is what leads AIVAS to aggresively pursue the developement of predatory parasites to seed the Red Star, and later the Oort cloud, with in order to fully eradicate them.

As thread enter the atmosphere, the head from the friction of its entry would break through its hard and nearly impenetrable external casing, activating the organism inside.
