"…man, this shit is creepy. One of the security cameras caught two of those slug things having a conversation and we ran Mercurial's software on it. I'm disabling the cameras down there, I never want to hear that again."

Security camera pans across a corridor recently decorated with primitive drawings of a feminine, humanoid figure in some unidentifiable liquid. Chem-sensors detect the liquid as biohazardous. Two "Interrobangs" walk into view, they are having an animated "conversation" with their limbs and both have adopted the black-and-white monochrome colouration of the one that devoured Mantis Operative Petya Kiril's brain.

"Implementation of the MkII Interrobang Device would: Disrupt all G-Drive travel within two light-hours by simulating a massive gravitational source to all grav-sensors. The MkI Device would impede all FTL communications in a roughly equal volume of space."
