āI know it looks disturbing, Glarn, but he really isnāt in any pain.ā
āPutting him in suspended animation was a kindness. He just kept...Ā screaming. Something about a mother dressed in red...ā
āI know. I was there. I saw it all...Ā HeardĀ it all.ā
āDressed in red... Do you think thatās why they call it Project Red Dress?ā
āI knowĀ it is. I wish they hadnāt. I just hear him saying those awful words, over and over...Ā Whenever I close my eyesĀ I can see those spores attacking him. The lookĀ in his eyes. And I couldnāt stop it.ā
āWe all know you tried, Glarn.ā
āBut what good did it do? This... thing, whatever it is, it got him anyway.ā
āBut I promise weāll find a cure. No matter what it takes...ā
Ā«Donāt be afraid, Glarn.Ā»
Ā«Our species is in danger. Weāre fighting a terrible war against the forces of evil, and youāre the only one who can save us now. You must help us, Glarn Curious...Ā»
Ā«... No matter what it takes.Ā»
