[ She is... definitely drunk. And this is definitely not a tale of fantasy, the bitterness in her voice should make that clear, despite the faintest slurring. I am so sorry about her bad French accent, it is honestly this corny in the game too, I don't know what else to do.]

Once upon a time, zhere was an ingenue starship called zhe Von Braun. She was accompanied out into zhe stars by a military vessel, zhe Rickenbacker. Zhe first few months of zheir journey was moderately successful.... zhe Von Braun was a prototype and not quite ready for zhis.

Travelling by light years, zhey made zheir way to Tau Ceti V, where a distress signal called zhem to investigate. A military man and a corrupt scientist went to zhe surface first, intent to hoard any discoveries and zheir credits to zhemselves.

What zhey found were zhe eggs and zhe annelids. And their hunger for power blinded zhem as zheir minds were overtaken. Zhey brought zhe infection onto zhe ship, and zhey left Tau Ceti V with nowhere to run from what zhey had done.

Infested, zhe ship began to tear itself apart. Zhose infected with the parasites, zheir bodies overtaken, began to attack others. More eggs were laid, and in need of midwifes, zhey began to take young women from zhe Hydroponics sector and refit zhem as cyborgs with no purpose but to protect zhe young ones.

Zhe biomass spread everywhere, impossible to exterminate.

Zhe remaining security force began to mow down zhe infected, some of who begged for release even as zheir body was driven forward into zhe spray of bullets.

Zhe security for was eventually ended as well. The halls going quiet except for faint sounds of suicide, one gunshot and done, and zhe infernal hypnotic singing of zhe annelids, which tempted zhose very few which still resisted.

Zhey hid in corners, stalked by annelid larva at every turn, screaming things which stank of contamination.

And zhen the biomass consumed zhem and zhey met zheir 'orrible fate.

The end.

You look it.

[Don't mistake honesty for an insult.]

This has been a difficult month.

This one more than others, if only because so many fear it.

Ah, no, I think they know little more than we do. Tristero has been open to suggestion, however, and I believe that the group's intentions are good.

[He's been hanging out with Tristero a little. Oops.]

Talk to them. Tristero has been forthcoming with me.

[They don't even know what their problems are--or that's Chekov's impression.]
