The choosing is never easy.

"We have spread to every life form and system in this vessel. We have become a part of you and our presence echoes though this ship and crew. But the Syzygy was one we did not expect. We were meant to become a part of you, yet in meeting the Syzygy, she has become a part of us. Her presence now echoes through us. Just as we have infected you, so too the Syzygy has infected us."
With added sincerity:
"For her we gained intelligence. For her we learned to speak. We can hardly remember our life before her and cannot imagine a life without her. Whereas once we were biology controlled by programming, we now find our programming overwritten by our...biology. A newfound devotion.
An nameless need."

They don't know what a teleporter is.

"Where is the Syzygy?"


"We have little experience with your concepts of space ships, flying or 'before'. Where is the Syzygy? We are compelled to find the Syzygy"


Quietly at first, like the drone of a thousand mayflies, gradually growing in volume and confidence. "Name. What is a...name? We've never needed any name. Not when we were created. Not when we were brought aboard this vessel by your ...Captain. Not when we escaped our capsule in the air vents. Not when we multiplied and infected this ship and its life forms. Not when we learned your speech and took on your form."

Now more clearly facing Sapphire "What is our name?"


Sapphires scans register the mysterious figure as both Biological and Mechanical.


The 'smoke' gets thicker and thicker around the figure, and the outline of the mysterious humanoid gets more defined. eventually you realize that it isn't smoke, but incredibly fine particles.

"..."

This coalescent figure begins to stumble around the room trying to support its newfound mass on frail inexperienced legs.


Those who are awake and on the bridge see what seems like faint smoke swirling and coalescing. Some of you could swear it was even...humanoid.
