Greetings, Captain Pike. My name is Setti. Welcome to my installation.

We have quarantined the crew of the Pallas. Lieutenant Atahl has been retrieved and is receiving medical attention. It’s a good thing you brought them here when you did. Atahl was wise to contact us.

Can the crew be saved? Do you have any idea what happened to them?

Dialogue
As a matter of fact, I think I do. The crew of the Pallas are not the first instance of spontaneous hyper-aggression that I’ve seen among a starfaring crew. All of the recognizable signs are there.

Tell me, captain – are you familiar with a genus of ascomycete fungi known as Cordyceps? I believe there are more than 600 known species on Earth alone.

Wait, I think I know what you’re talking about. You mean that creepy fungus that infects ants and takes over their bodies?

Dialogue
The very same. I have long theorized that the previous crew encountered a variation of the Cordyceps. One that reproduces through airborne sporogenesis and the host’s own respiration.

Dialogue
Think about it! The source fungus disperses spores throughout the atmosphere, at which point the spores are transmitted to host bodies through inhalation.

Setti
Dialogue
At this point, the mycelium invades the host’s brain and lungs, replacing tissue in the process. This causes hyper-aggression, and forces the host to seek out others. At which point–…

Dialogue
The host breathes spores all over the victim and the whole thing begins again. So that’s what happened to them down there on Mallico. The whole damned atmosphere could have been full of those spores.

Mallico? Captain Pike, under no circumstances should anybody else visit that planet until it can be fully studied and assessed. It must be quarantined immediately.

Don’t worry, I’ll make it happen. You just do what you can to help these people. Oh, and about the damage to the Pallas. Let us take care of that.

Commander, I don’t suppose you have 3500 Tritanium handy?

Dialogue
Captain Pike, the Pallas cannot remain adrift out here. We need immediate medical attention for the crew so we can find out what’s happening to them.

Pike
Dialogue
Of course. The Enterprise is more than capable of towing the Pallas to safety. But we need to ensure that the crew remain quarantined and present no immediate danger to anyone else.

Wait, I might know just the place. There’s an Andorian medical research facility on the surface of Lugos. They should have ample resources in order to treat the crew.

If what you suggest is true, then it may be safe for us to bring the crew there.

We’re preparing to tow the Pallas to safety as we speak, Lieutenant. In the meantime, remain hidden. We’re going to get you out of there.

Thank you, Captain Pike. I will send word to the facility on Lugos so they may expect our arrival.

We may not have been able to save the colonists of Zonelif, but we can prevent the same fate from falling on anyone else in the future. Hopefully, that will honor their loss and memory in some way.

On second thoughts, we can take it from here. I think it would be better if you returned to your Station and made any necessary repairs to your fleet. Who knows if we might need to call on you again?

Don’t worry about the crew, Captain. Just concern yourself with making sure that an immediate quarantine of Mallico is established.

You can count on us. Commander, plot a course for Maxom. We need to warn the Federation about Mallico and ensure that no other ship touches down on that planet.
