Worker ChoTen, global
positioning data indicates that you have moved into the wilderness surrounding
track Y-64. Despite your recent
emergency medical care, you still should not be moving, particularly into
uncontrolled wild regions. Please return
to your previous work site to assist authorities in their investigation. Continued avoidance may lead to legal
penalties, including arrest.

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 continue
to assist and observe the officers on site with their investigations.
- Remain at the wreck site
- Walk to the original work site
- Walk away into the forest beyond the work site

Worker ChoTen, please report. Law enforcement reports no sign of your
presence following your departure from the crash site. Repeat, please report…
[Law enforcement
reports worker ChoTan deceased, per positive identification of remains. Cause and time of death are uncertain. Remains have been extensively damaged by
scavenger insects native to the region.
In addition, the victim shows signs of tissue damage consistent with
plant toxins from area species. It is
not known if worker ChoTan died of asphyxiation due to toxic reaction or was
merely paralyzed long enough to be killed by insect bites. See attached file regarding the investigation
into the citizen’s connection to the assassination plot against Revered
HaKiRozTuVa.]

I’m sorry, but there is nothing
more that you can do here. It appears
that all three passengers aboard this train were killed by the impact following
its derailment. Based on your
description of their remains, particularly the clothing of the eldest male
individual, these persons are likely the Revered HaKiRozTuVa and two of his
associates.
While
your altruistic impulses are appreciated, continued inspection of the accident
site may jeopardize criminal investigation.
Please stand back and allow officers to complete their investigation,
assisting only when requested.

Worker
ChoTen, once again, your global positioning shows you have wandered away from
your assigned work site. Despite the
recent disruptions, you are not excused from duty, nor is it recommended that
you leave the protection of the law enforcement officers on site. Please return to the original work site at
once.
