Scientific Consensus

Mann leaves for a day and suddenly the station goes nuts! Zarman and his flunkies are stirring up trouble; I've even heard rumors they're going to destroy the vital equipment that keeps us alive. Wait, who are you? I don't even know you. How did you even get out to Station Tau? But actually, that might work to our advantage, stranger. Help me talk some sense in to Zarman and his researchers and fix up the damage they're causing.

Now that the rioting is over, let's properly introduce ourselves. I'm Cyberneticist Ellenor Frekker, the operations officer here at Ghar Station Tau. I've just realized you are the Ascended, though I find it hard to believe that you are the agent of destruction that the Commissar claims. This used to be a well-run Ghar research facility, probably one of the best. All that changed a few weeks ago when some researchers claimed we went too far and started destroying our research and equipment. The current director, Cosmologist Mann, managed to keep everyone in line, but now he's gone. Ascended stranger, we need your help.
