[Sitting by the beach, legs crossed and folded against her chest]

Shouldn't we also be thinking about what the possibly harmful substance might be?

Comments

[frozenseraphim]

The pollen, perhaps? It is the only substance I have seen that has the ability to affect people both physically and mentally, though it is entirely possible it could be something we are not aware of.

[He pauses, a thought occurring to him.]

The forest was originally covered in a poisonous gas, was it not?

[sotakemethere]

Is that what caused people to change?

[blinks]

Was it? We stayed inside the ship for the most part, until it was no longer possible.

[frozenseraphim]

I believe so. From my own observations and what others have reported, it is the most likely culprit.

Lockon Stratos, a comrade of mine, was here while it was still present in the forest area. He was the one to claim such a thing, and I see no reason for him to lie about something of that nature.

[nods]

Was anybody affected by the poison?

[frozenseraphim]

No one has shown any symptoms, though it may have a long incubation period. I cannot say if the Intergalactic Alliance Interplanetary Corps concern is genuine or just protocol.

[sotakemethere]

No one seems to be familiar with them, right?

[frozenseraphim]

As far as I am aware with, no. It's possible the people who were on the ship before the crash would have a better chance of being acquainted with them.
