The Tadpole Pens NoA node supported a simulation of colony surgeon Sophie “Butcher” Boucher.

—Sophie referred to the titanic organism on the horizon as a World Tree
—Believed the Tree was the source of Masefield syndrome
—Described the ruins of an alien civilization in a protected zone to the east; aliens may have been destroyed by the Masefield syndrome

Sophie argued that Masefield syndrome might only be ended by destroying the World Tree.

Colony dietician Wu Lianghai drowned when his lab flooded.

—Wu was studying the virus which infects all life on Proteus
—Wu believed he had isolated a ‘bloom strain’ responsible for Masefield syndrome
—Wu tuned a sonic resonator device to destroy the bloom strain

Wu planned to test the resonator at a site west of Habitat where local life was infected with the bloom virus.

Colony ethicist Lucretia Kapoor drowned when her bunkroom flooded.

—NoA opened the seacocks to flood the habitat and control a fire
—Colonists were drowned before they could reach their air supplies
—Biobeds were destroyed in the fire, preventing colonists from reprinting

Further investigation required. Recommend searching the surrounding habitat and its NoA node for more information.

Colony purser Anita Gottschall drowned near an angel comb.

—Anita believed the comb could help her digest this world’s food
—You have already gained one effective adaptation from an angel comb
—Anita implied that the colonists feared hallucinations caused by a virus, and that she could feed the comb with her body

Anita may have been delirious.

Colony surgeon Sophie Boucher helped computational dynamicist Chap Sovann reprint into a new body.

—This planet is toxic to humans, but Sophie believed reprinting could slow the toxicity
—The colonists used special biobeds to improve their dexterity and endurance

Locate these biobeds to improve your toolbelt and inventory maximum.

Iso asphyxiated after being abducted by alien organisms.

Iso was carrying an upgraded scanner. Retrieving its blueprints could allow a modification station to replicate it.

K. “Wander” Wangmo was attacked by a marrowbreach while investigating a viral bloom around an angel comb.

—Wander reported a parasite attached to the marrowbreach
—Wander regretted not using flares to distract her attacker
—Wander reported that the viral bloom did not match the strain of Proteavirus detected in colonists’ blood
—Concluded that the bloom virus was not responsible for Masefield syndrome

Recommend treating the viral bloom with appropriate tools. Once treated, the nearby angel combs may be a useful source of adaptations.

Lead pilot T. “Ruby” Anar was attacked by a marrowbreach while trying to draw it away from younger colonists.

—Ruby was part of a group that fled their old habitat towards the eastern edge of the biome.

Following their trail to their destination may reveal their ultimate fate.

Lead salvor Tziporah “Zip” Malk fell into a trance and drowned near a titan rockbore.

—Zip was affected by Masefield syndrome, causing delusions and narcosis
—Other colonists in the cave were also overcome
—Blackbox contained high-level access codes to the Tadpole Pens

Recommend locating the Tadpole Pens and accessing the control room.

Ruby’s Tadpole was brought down by needler mango attack.

The Tadpole contained an upgrade module allowing it to dive below its normal crush depth.

Singh was fatally wounded by an unknown attacker with a spear.

Singh was investigating the activity of alien organisms he referred to as ‘Tailings’.
