And they have it. You do not need to concern yourself with the refinery any longer. It is in good hands, I promise you.

We wish to know more about the problems you have been having at the refinery. We have heard that production has halted due to… unexplained phenomena.

Dialogue
You’ve got that right. Something is wrong with that refinery, Independent. Something is seriously wrong.

We have heard rumors that the refinery is overrun by undead.

Character
Zuvix
Dialogue
Nothing so outlandish. We thought it was a flu or something, at first. Some of our staff were feeling ill. They became unresponsive, then aggressive. Soon they started attacking the others.

I was ordered to evacuate and quarantine the refinery.

And what of the affected workers? Are the owners of the refinery taking steps to help them?
Objective ID

Dialogue
They said they wanted to make sure the contagion doesn’t spread. Beyond that, I don’t know. I was told to await further orders.

And what of the people who are already sick? We must discover what has caused the change in their behavior and help them if we can.

You are the foreman of the refinery. These people were under your care.

…Dammit! Set a course for Zeta Kan, Independent.

Dialogue
Scan complete. I have identified what has caused the deterioration of the refinery workers. There is a Dilithium isotope present in the refinery’s environment.

Character
Maia
Dialogue
This isotope appears to be particularly dangerous to humans with the blood type B negative.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I posit that the isotope interacts with the agglutinogens of the victim’s red blood cells, subsequently traveling to the brain where it functions as a neurotoxin.

…The new refinement plant. It came online shortly before the first symptoms appeared. Navitas Holdings wanted to increase their yield, said new technology would expand our operation.

Did they know this would happen?

Impossible to say.

Well, if they didn’t know before, they know now. And they’re sitting on it.

I can’t believe it… Navitas Holdings is willing to kill me to keep this quiet.

Which means they have something to hide. If I conduct a scan of the refinery, perhaps we can learn exactly what.

Dialogue
She delivers supplies to the refinery. Or, well, she used to. Last time she was there, things were… spooky. The refinery was in chaos, and she saw a worker wandering the halls. Looked like a corpse, she said.

Only, it wasn’t quite dead.

Zombies aren’t real.

Dialogue
Maybe they are. The refinery’s been abandoned. Why do you think that is? The place must be crawling with undead by now.

Usu
Dialogue
I’m sure the foreman has a good reason for shutting down production. A real reason.

I’ve heard he’s laying low on Zonra. Something scared him badly enough to go into hiding. You know what scares me? Zombies.

Enough stories, Yil. Let’s get moving before someone hears your ravings and realizes how crazy you truly are.
