[The camera's pointed at the ceiling at first, and for a few seconds there is only Wanda's ragged breathing. When she finally gets it centered on her face, it's obvious she is terrified and near tears. If Elizabeth hadn't been there...]

I saw it. That thing...

It-- he was like us and he changed and he can't go back. Doesn't want to go back.

[She buries her head in her other hand.] How can I make you understand? It would drain us all, kill us all if it can because it can. Because it likes the pain and the fear and...

[There's no hiding the rising note of panic in her voice and Wanda needs a few breaths to try to sort of compose herself again. It doesn't work.]

I felt it kill them...

Stay out of the dark.

What the heck is Stachybotrys?

Is that the thing that got the captain?

[ A message comes up on every crew member's MID with the word U R G E N T flashing in a bold red, followed by a live video message from Manasseh. ]

Crew of the Moira, this is Navigator Manasseh. I urge all crew who have been traveling the halls alone to please cease this and only venture out in groups of two or more for your own safety. The crisis on board is more than an issue of power or mechanical malfunction. It is one that is a threat to every being aboard the ship at this time.

Crewmember Farin has fallen victim to whatever is sabotaging the ship and is, at this moment, dead. I found her body in the halls covered in markings similar to those found upon Captain Tipota’s body. [ Her voice remains steady and calm even as the lights in the video flicker around her. ] I cannot tell for certain if the culprit has a sentient level of intelligence or not but it would be wise to proceed with caution.

Those of you armed with weapons, please keep them at hand. Those who are noncombatants should stay close to those who are armed for their own safety and under no circumstances should anyone go anywhere alone. Until then-

[ The lights flicker again and then without any ceremony go out, leaving Mana's face illuminated by only the glow of her MID screen. She looks around carefully, perhaps belatedly realizing that in her haste to speak with the crew she has ignored her own warnings to not be alone. The lights flicker again and for just a moment there is a figure behind her. Then the feed goes entirely black. There is a muffled thump before it ends entirely. ]


[ooc: comments can be made to this but due to obvious reasons there will be no reply from the Navigator. ]
