[Duplar] Unwilling to risk the mental shock of an alien death, Duplar pulls out. "Urgh! I don't want to do that again for a long while. "I don't really know what these 'people', and for want of a better term I'm happy to go along with calling them 'the Kolder' for now, are after. But something's gone very wrong for this one, maybe all of them. "My guess is that they have some form of hive mind. This one takes, or rather took, direction from one leader who seems to have used some form of mind boosting device to exert that control. "Either that leader-type has been eliminated by cause unknown, or the journey here has severed this subsidiary Kolder's link to him. Whichever cause, the loss of that link has caused such total dispair that it has lost the will to live." "I don't suppose there's anything to drink handy? That has left a nasty taste in the back of my mouth and a drink of something strongly flavoured would be just the job." -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
