legionnpcs[The video opens on Karate Kid in an area of the ship that seems just as damaged as everywhere else. Behind him panels are sparking. Despite the chaos, he seems perfectly calm, but that's no surprise when he's largely unruffled by everything.]
One of the support staff discovered something that may be of use to us. The people that are possessed -- it's possible to free them with a source of bright light. It has to be shined in their eyes or a similar sight organ.
[He carefully sneaks up a hallway and up to one of the possessed, a purple woman who is working on sabotaging a console. The possessed staff member looks up at him with four eyes that temporarily flash black -- and then screeches as he shines a bright flashlight in her eyes.]
[A black shape, a being made of shadow, suddenly rips away from her body, its edges going fuzzier and more indistinct the longer it's out of her body. Then, it starts to crawl away, flying away through the air by stretching itself out in little leaps.]
Are you all right?
[The woman looks confused but fine. "What? Where am I? What's going on? How did I get here?"]
You're going to be fine. There were entities on board that were possessing people but so far anyone who's been freed seems to have not suffered any injury. Can you get to Medbay on your own?
[The woman nods and Karate Kid helps her to her feet so she can start walking, then turns the camera back on his face.]
The question remains: how do we trap them and get them off the ship? It's possible to free the infested but we still have to prevent them from possessing others and find a way to relocate them.
Killing them may be out of the question. Everyone I've spoken to that's seen them says that when they do speak they seem somewhat intelligent -- if confused. They seem to be in a panic rather than hostile.
[ooc: This post can be used for the characters to figure out solutions to get the creatures safely off the ship. The mods are open to many possible solutions.]
