[Private Text: Various | Monday night]

[professorwolf]

[A few people get private texts tonight, not too late, but well after dark and moonrise.]

Kaidan:

If you aren't too busy or sleeping already, I would like to meet you at the ship tonight. I appear to have my full faculties inside the ship, but I don't want to be alone in case it wears off at any place or time in here.

Luke, Mulan, Tony, Indrani, Kerra, Shepard, and Sandman (though he's not sure he has Sandman's sent properly, given he's never spoken with him before):

Good evening. I'm back. Did any of us make it out alive, or should I be looking about here in the ship for the rest of us? Do we know what exactly happened in there? Is that thing destroyed?

[He's noticed the countdown is gone, but isn't sure whether he ought to connect it to their expedition or not.]

TEXT: private to Lyall

Sandman and I were the only ones, barely. I thought about going back in the next day with a team to find all of you but that proved unnecessary when you found us first. We knew the calcium spreads and kills but I think we can confirm now that it also reanimates. It was pretty terrifying.

Sorry I had to kill a couple of you but I don't think it was really you anyway.

Still don't know if the web creature is destroyed, though from what I saw after we made a run for it, I'm pretty sure it is. Kaylee hasn't let me go back since that night to make sure.

[He manages not to reply with "you can't be serious" only because this is text.]

Reanimates? What happened?

TEXT

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Exactly that. Everyone who was injured by one of the creatures was reanimated as one of them. I think the web creature was doing that to animals that wandered into its cave.

How terrible.

[He still looks disturbed by the thought.]

Though it does fit what we saw, in there. I... hope my own body did not actually create any difficulty. How many of us have come by the city...?
