Oh, yeah... So you've seen her around? Well, here.

[ You ever seen anyone reach for their eye and pop it right out? Because that's straight up what Mizuki does, and in the next moment, settled in the palm of her hand is... ]

[ hampter.

Aiba flicks an ear as she looks up to Dion. ]

[ how much space does mizuki have in her head for this

ANYWAY OKAY! WONDERS NEVER CEASE! ]

Hello.

[ She's not always a hamster okay sometimes she is just eye. ]

Hello, Dion! I am pleased to finally meet you properly.

[ MORE RODENTS... ]

Likewise, Mistress Aiba. I am glad for the opportunity to thank you for your efforts in solving the mysteries of this place.

Of course. It is my job to assist, after all, so it's only natural I would try.

But on that note... You would like my report, yes? Mizuki has not heard it yet either, as she was too busy pretending to be a ca—

[ CLAMPING DOWN HER OTHER HAND ON TOP OF AIBA IMMEDIATELY ]

Shh! Shhh! Shut up and get to the point...!

[ HELP... EMBARRASSED MIZUKI what a treat ]

Hm. Yes, please do. Feel free to be as detailed as you like, Mistress Aiba.

[ Aiba gives a little 'he he', entertained in spite of her ever unblinking gaze. ]

Ahem. Well... Oh, have you heard of my previous report, Dion? The one I had announced just a few days ago.

About the Eudora continuing on to our planets after the next destination?

That's the one.

Though I had hoped to find anything more earlier today, I... suspect the ship has little more than consumption and hunger on its mind, and so we will be unable to find much of anything else. It would seem it is already processing data on which worlds are viable for consumption, as well. So, while I'm afraid I have nothing new to report, I would say this single-minded desire to devour is worth noting.

[ uhhh concern ]

I see. So if I am following... it was the lotus planet that infected the ship, and has implanted this desire to consume other planets?

Uhh... I don't really know much about this lotus planet place aside from secondhand info, but...

But if that information is correct, then it is a fairly solid theory. I am beginning to think of it as a parasite with little faculty to think beyond its unsatiable hunger rather than a being with any real ill intent.
