Last month was certainly interesting, to the extent that I can remember it. I guess it figures, as soon as you get used to the way things work, they have to change. The slugs were a little too long-lasting to count as a curse, right?

Out of curiosity, does anyone remember what they were doing up on the mountain?

I don't think it was a curse. It was bad, whatever it was.

You had a brain slug?

[cold_dry_pieces]

Briefly, yeah. I don't remember much after getting hit in the head, honestly.

[horrible_penny]

How's your head feeling?

[cold_dry_pieces]

No fracture, so I'm good to go. You managed to get through unscathed I hope?

[citadelspirit]

The Network indicates that they were digging up a starship.

[cold_dry_pieces]

What happened to it?

[citadelspirit]

I do not know. I've had technical difficulties... I have not kept track as of late. Likely as not it simply disappeared, like the other curses.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Probably, but is anyone sure? This was too long-lasting to be a run of the mill curse.

[cry_reaper]

I couldn't say. I wasn't paying that close attention.

[cold_dry_pieces]

You weren't up there digging, were you?

[cry_reaper]

No, I was at home.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I'm glad you managed to escape it.

Yes, they apparently wanted to unearth a starship. And no, it wasn't a curse.

What can you remember of the whole thing?

[cold_dry_pieces]

So what happened to the starship? Did they escape?

Between being hit over the head and waking up to find myself stomping on a parasite, not very much.

I think it's still there, but I'm not exactly going back to check.

Presuming you don't get those memories back later, I think you got off pretty lucky. I'm wishing I didn't remember the whole thing. Are you feeling back to normal again?

private//unhackable

[cold_dry_pieces]

Yeah... I'm curious, but not curious enough to make the trip.

That bad, huh? Aside from a couple of lingering muscle aches I'm fine, I think. How about you?

[slighted_stains]

Were you among the... victims?

[cold_dry_pieces]

I was, for a time at least.

[slighted_stains]

What... was it like?

[cold_dry_pieces]

To tell you the truth? I really don't remember much. Just occasional flashes of digging for something. A lot like being unconscious, I guess.
