this conversation in the Nardora log of awful, and at some point not long after

[Private to the Infirmary staff]
There is a fatality that needs immediate removal to the infirmary for death-toll treatment. You'll find Narvin in Gaheris Rhade's room on level 8.
[Private to Stildyne]
Your inmate is unharmed, but he requires your immediate attention. He's in Gaheris Rhade's quarters on the eighth floor. I'll remain with him until you arrive. I'm sure Braxiatel will be glad to explain when you get here.
[Private to Agent K, strikes unreadable]
Narvin is
Braxiatel killed
I've just contacted the infirmary to retrieve Narvin and bring him in.

There's an enormous problem. And I'm going to state from the beginning that I only understand this a little and am simply repeating what I have been told.
Narvin was possessed by a psychic parasite that calls itself Pandora. Apparently Pandora can infect other people as well, to control their actions, and I think she tried to do that to me. So there may be people here on the Barge who have been infected by her consciousness, and they need to be contained.
Pandora has fled from Narvin's mind now and has taken refuge in the Matrix that Narvin created. Someone will need to go in after her and remove her. Rinzler, you were suggested as a candidate for this task.
I will do what I can to help, but I'm not in the best shape right now, to say the very least. For once I am in no position to lead. But something must be done. Since this Pandora entity is under threat, I expect she'll be doing something drastic soon.
[Note that she has carefully left out Brax from this accounting, partly because she's shielding him a tiny bit and partly because it keeps her from having to think very hard about his role in this.]
