=/= Cadet TJCT to Bridge. Medical and Science believe shocking one of the infected will stop what they are calling the parasite. I do not believe it is a parasite. Could you please update them on whether contact has been made with whatever has control of the other vessel. =/=

Emmy’s pacing stopped mid-pace, leaving her weight precariously balanced between her two lower limbs. It took a conscious effort to shift her weight fully to her left leg so that she could bring her right leg up to meet it and find her complete balance. A torrent of responses cascaded through her mind, mostly surrounding the absurdity of a cadet reaching out to the bridge directly while assisting in a delicate operation with two experienced senior staff members. That said, though, while her demand for information was unconventional to say the least, she had to do her due diligence to see if any further information had been obtained.

=/\= Davis to Tanner. One moment. =/\=

=/\= Challenger to Harkness. Do you have any updates with what we are dealing with here? =/\=

=^= Harkness here Captain. It seems like the Potterfield’s crew abducted this entity from their home planet. Everything that has happened so far has been in retaliation for that, and as the entity has tried to survive. I’m hoping that we can come to some sort of agreement that both sides can be happy with. =^=

Emmy remained silent for several seconds, not at all sure how to respond to this news. One take on it could be that the Potterfield intended to abduct it, but it could have been an accident. Well, the exact intent didn’t matter at this moment.

=/\= Offer to provide transport back to the home planet. =/\= came her instruction, finally.
