You want nothing of this conversation.
You slap TQ-42 across the face.
TQ-42 apparently finds this a prompt for further explanation.
TQ-42 insincerely apologizes and remarks that he will
continue on with is explanation unabated.
He proclaims knowledge of a great and distant entity.
Great in power and predominantly but not entirely alien.
He has done research and found no previously existant
recievings that can explain what he was contacted by.
He came into contact with the entity half a century ago in a strange
tube phantasy brought about by unknown conditions.
He profesed to have communicated with the entity in an alien
environment in some subliminal fashion in which he could not perceive
absolutes of language but a massive and nebulous stockpile of knowledge.
When he was startled awake he noticed an eldrich material
within his dormitorium that evaporated before he was able to have it examined.
TQ-42 had sought to repeat the conditions of the phantasy but never succeeded.
He claimed to have sought other measures but ran into technical hurdles.
TQ-42 professes that interspecies communication between such
an entity could be impossible directly. He is reminded of the
Pstchithxchs debacle that was solved without diplomacy between
lifeforms of relatively similar technological levels.
TQ-42 says that he has been working for a way to communicate
openly with the entity and call it directly through some means.
TQ-42 says he began his current efforts over 20 rotations ago
when he found some trace radiation that he could not explain in
his dormitorium. Though unable to find the source, TQ-42 was eventually
able to reproduce the radiation. He proceeded to observe it's effects
on living cells twisting them into the bizarre substance over time but
similarly decaying. Using borrowed medical equipment TQ-42 illegally
exposed a dish of spawning gametes to the bizarre radiation
and applied them to a tank in the spawning plant where you both work.
Months later, TQ-42 says he noticed stable modifications in a previously
unchanged Sectoid spawn. The form continued to change gradually during
gestation becoming more and more unlike the Sectoid cells that merely supported the eldrich
material.
Thus, TQ-42 concludes, he needs to return ZC-04 to his care so she wont be harmed
by any panicking Sectoids that might not be as open minded as you, (TQ-42 applauds you
for having the heart not to cull her in the tank for her appearance). He repeats the importance of
reclaiming her so she can bring the Powerful alien presence to Mezizz and usher in a new age of
peace and understanding.
Not only is TQ-42 a mutant sympathizer, but an alien sympathizer
and a complete lunatic.
