In the Amish town of Paradise, a peaceful and picturesque scene, one could look at the smiling children and singing people and would never guess that this was the face of a town in crisis. For beneath the outward happi- ness, Paradise was facing a very serious problem. That problem was death. Suicide to be precise. Suicide in a community that in it's two hundred years of existence had never had one of it's members take their own life. And now two such incidents have occured in the space of a week. Dr. Ejiah Good, the town's physician decided that his people must be under some kind of mental influence, and seeing as how his town did not have a history of mental illness, there was only one such disease that they could be inflicted with, and even though the symptoms usually were that of mass suicide, not individual. It could only be, CRS. Companion Reaction Syndrome. Seeking help, Dr. Good went to see the American Companion, Da'an. Da'an sent Head of Interspecies Relations and Security, Commander William Boone, to invesitigate. During the course of the investigation it was discovered the the abnormal behavior was being caused by what seems to be a probe, not CRS as originally thought. |
The probe, dubbed "Metal scarecrow" by it's discoverers, a group of school children, copied an element in nature, in this case a Monarch butterfly, and replicated it, turning it into a remote probe guided by the main probe. Their purpose, as surmised by Commander Boone, was to seek out the highest organic energy level being and study it. It would then create a puncture wound on on the forearm and entered through it, traveling through the body until it was in control of motor functions, and then forcing the subject to push it's own body to extremes, eventually resulting in death. It would then exit through the mouth and return to the main probe to download it's findings. Unfortunately two more such incidents occured before Commander Boone and Capt. Lili Marquette were able to subdue it. However only one of these "experiments", death by freezing was fatal. The other victim, Sara Good, Dr. Good's wife recovered from her ingestion of household cleaner. A resistance contamite team was able to pick up the "scarecrow" and transport it to a Resistance science facility. Boone and Marquette reported to thier Campanion superiors that the town had indeed suffered a latent outbreak of CRS, and that the outbreak had been contained. It is still unknown of what is the "scarecrow's" true purpose. Is it a latent research probe sent from the Taelons that was overlooked after their arrival? Or is it studying our weaknesses to explote in case of war? For now the Scarecrow keeps it's secrets, but the Resistance is confident that someday they will be uncovered. --As reported by Communications Officer Lark Morrison | ||||||||||||||||

Here's the thing I don't understand, Taelon technology is organic. They grow the their buildings and shuttles like we grow corn. So if this is of Taelon origin then why is it made of metal. And the design, it's all jagged and edged, where every other Taelon artifact I have seen is smooth and rounded. What I am trying to say is, this does not seem to be Taelon to me. But if it isn't of Taelon origin then where di it come from? Who sent it? And why? These are the questions we need to answer before it's too late. | |||||||||||||||||
