To: Ryuho

[Camille Gabriel]

Ryuho,

This is indeed concerning. So, you mean to say that these creatures are capable of controlling human beings? I must be honest, it sounds like the plot of a bad science fiction vid. I'm not quite certain I understand. What are these seeds you're talking about? Are they airborne? Is there any way to vaccinate against them? How do they gain control?

Obviously assisting the Marechal is my primary concern, but if I can protect the others around him while I do so, it would be far preferable. Is it likely that the infection could spread? Are these seeds capable of rapid reproduction, like some variety of alien fungi, or do I have a longer time scale to work with?

I assume they are capable of some sort of communication with other aliens, but to what degree does that extend? Would losing one seed be noticeable to their society at large?

Your assistance thus far is appreciated, Ryuho, but I wish to be certain of what it is I am dealing with here before I take any more drastic steps. If, as you say, a simple X-Ray is capable of detecting infestation, I imagine an infected individual would take precautions to avoid being exposed to one. Attempting to force the situation would no doubt draw attention to me, and by extension, you. While I have been careful to send these transmissions only from public machines, it would only be a matter of time before Naval Intelligence traced them back to me if I give them reason to look.

Merci,

Camille Gabriel
