<p>You eventually find the alien hidden in the ceiling of the southern chamber, behind an exposed panel of ship internals. It looks something like a horseshoe crab, but with manipulating appendages in addition to legs. It is chewing on a power cable, apparently feeding on the electrical power instead of being harmed by it.</p>
<p>The team considers their options, and decides to lure it away from the cable with a battery. It grabs onto the battery, and you let it take the battery and suck it dry until, finally sated, it falls asleep.</p>
<p>Alien and human children in tow, you all return to the main deck of the ship, where Fitch congratulates you on a job well done. She turns the alien over to an assembled team of experts in hopes of learning more of the alien’s language and culture.</p>
<p>Kieu Kein rewards the brave souls who rescued his children with a mk 1 ring of resistance, and Fitch rewards your discovery of the life form with a credstick carrying 400 credits. She thanks you for your diligence, but must quickly return to repairing the ship.</p>
<p>Now that you have reported to all four faction leaders, the Society intelligence Guidance summons you back to the Lorespire complex. The intelligence once again presents itself in a holographic form—this time taking on the appearance of a wizened male korasha lashunta— to congratulate you on your successful missions. It goes on to state that in the aftermath of the Scoured Stars incident, the Society needs skilled agents more than ever, and that it sees potential in the six of you as you start your new careers as Starfinder field agents.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Congratulations! You have succeeded at the primary and secondary success conditions! I'll get Chronicle sheets ready shortly.</span></p>For the sake of time, I will say that Idomyll can take 10 on Engineering to disable the 'trap' and fix the fire extinguisher.
