Mother.

[ Nihlus looks extremely nauseated, even under all the neon green. ]

It's name is Mother. The emptiness is gone now, I don't- I can't- find it again-

[ Here, he stops for a moment, running his hand over his crest, trying to regather himself, trying to regather his thoughts. They'd scattered the moment the recording started and it was so hard to find the words to describe everything that'd happened in the past couple of hours. ]

I am Nihlus Kryik. One of people who'd been part of the diplomatic venture to Asteroid 276.

The Ingress glitching had given me temporary powers, similar to what many of you seemed to have experienced.

On top of a myriad of other abilities, I was able to form a psychic link and establish... contact with what I believe to be the source of the contaminant. Whatever the being is, this Mother, they are linked to illness we'd gotten from that station.

And they are hostile.

If you have any form of psychic abilities, do not try and connect with it. It is dangerous and it can pull you deeper under its thrall if given half the chance to. Its intentions are unclear, but whatever the may be, they do not seem particularly friendly.

Please. Keep in network contact with someone uninfected, either a friend, family or a medical professional. Anyone who is available to monitor you. Report to them any changes in your condition.

[ He pauses for a moment, just staring at the TAB, trying find some angle to make everything he'd just said not sound as horrifying as they did. But there's nothing he can think of. ]

... Take care of yourselves.

[ Spirits, he really hopes he's wrong. ]

The dreams didn't seem friendly either. It calls itself Mother?

[The distinction seems important to him.]

[Ha...ha...haha...ha...if that's the case, more than a few things make more sense now.]

Will you be all right?

[alan_1]

[Oh, this sounds very, very bad. And it had already sounded bad when this was a potential plague not attached to some kind of malevolent psychic entity.]

Did you still have any symptoms when you… made contact with this thing?

[There’s an abrupt pause, as if something has just occurred to Alan.]

And what do you mean “thrall?”

[He’s seen the results of Nihlus being in something’s “thrall” before and he’s not keen to repeat the experience—no matter who is infected this time around.]

Did you get a sense of what it has planned?

[Nate doesn't have any danger of contamination as far as he knows, but 'hostile' is a bad thing for all of them, he figures.]

I don't suppose you're interested in helping my team track it down.

[There are so many things wrong with this picture right here. Number one, all of what was just said. Number two? That's a dead Spectre.]

[Very, very dead.]

What the hell is going on here...

[It's mostly said to herself, out of sheer, complete confusion. I am Nihlus Kryik - not possible.]

Who are you, really? And what asteroid?

[shiro2hero]

[Well. That's. Great.]

So how do we stop it?

[warandpeace]

Do you know if Mother is spreading further? Or how fast if 'she' is?

[nishizono]

well what the fuck. maybe don't stick your nose where it's not needed next time?

[action]

[indoctrinated]

I'm going to presume you didn't seek out an unknown entity we had no intel on intentionally. If you did, that might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard you do.

[ not much point to responding in message form, considering circumstances forced them to live together still.

arms crossed, Saren fixes Nihlus with a flat and unimpressed look once he gets the moment to interrogate him about his little adventure with "Mother".]

[not here...] [1/3]
