Your
inspection has revealed an unexpected clue on the body of one of the two
assistants of the Revered HaKiRozTuVa.
Close investigation shows the presence of thin whitish threads extending
from the throat and nostrils of that Zig.
In another species, these rhizomes would be signs of Awakener
bonding. Awakeners are symbiotic, sentient,
psychic fungal organisms. However, all
data on them indicates that Zig physiology is toxic to Awakeners. Either that species has overcome its
intolerance for our biochemistry – possibly through genetic manipulation – or
else this Zig is infested by some other type of organism with similar
markers. In either case, this discovery
is cause for significant concern.
Why
would an Awakener be present on EssTinTal?
In particular, why would it be present, unannounced, in the retinue of a
Revered leader? This oddity raises
deeper questions, particularly in the context of an assassination. Per the officers on site, the Revered One was
threatened by armed conspirators in GeVinVas and forced aboard this train. The sabotage you uncovered was likely a
backup measure to ensure he did not escape.
Please
remain on site to assist the officers with their further investigation. While your interference was not recommended
or appreciated…
