[Check-In] Your Enthusiasm is Appreciated

[It isn't too long into the Jaunt before Ryo's excited voice comes through on the network.]

BEST JAUNT EVER!

[And Hajime's far more exhausted mental voice comes in afterwards.]

This is Hajime, we, ah, did that thing where we're both infiltrating and not infiltrating, and there's some kind of space base out here with a lot of aliens bent on conquering Earth to take care of some bioweapon? I just...don't really know what's going on beyond that.

[Ryo cuts in again.]

And we're mantises! Mantis people are normal here! Not many of them, but enough to be normal! IS AMAZING!

I mean, technically speaking it is a disease, so they're not necessarily wrong, but...

It doesn't sound fatal or anything though. Just annoying. And it sounds like you guys are using it over there without anything really fatal going on. Over here, they're making it sound like a death sentence.

It could be that their biology means it's hitting them differently. Or they're reacting out of fear - S. Tech does result in a lot of weird effects, and strong emotions can make those effects a lot stronger. And considering both sides are apparently at war, they're not necessarily going to trust what this side says about it.

Might be a self-reinforcing fear loop, then, given some of the ways Bz'zirp has heard it talked about.

I could definitely see that happening.

I'd go looking around for more information, but I'm kind of invested in making sure my overlay doesn't end up dead or in prison.

That's entirely understandable.
