Science Be Damned

You are the Ascended. The word over the Network is that you are a destroyer, a harbinger of destruction and doom. Follow the glacier, and a makeshift road will lead you right to Ghar Station Tau. My remaining colleagues there are lost, so don't hold back. Prove the Commissar right. I only wish Ellenor Frekker had fled with us. She has to know that her research is not worth the sacrifice of staying! Not after what I've seen. Tell her I'll wait for her, though my supply of research notes is running low.

Doctor Gaatran is waiting for me? Well, he'll have to wait a while longer. The station is in open revolt, and he's partly to blame. He and his followers made off with some of the most vital discoveries. Now Zarman is goading his followers into open violence. Ugh! Mann was supposed to handle this. I'm no politician.
