Will they be able to help that man?
I don't know, Sarah. He's halfway towards becoming a Krynoid.
Krynoid?
Yes. A progression of the pod.
So you recognised it.
Yes, I was fairly certain when I saw the photographs. Now I'm sure.
Well, what is a Krynoid? I mean, what does it do?
I suppose you could call it a galactic weed, except it's deadlier than any weed you know.
In what way?
Well, on most planets, the animals eat the vegetation, hmm?
Mmm hmm.
On planets where the Krynoid gets established, the vegetation eats the animals.
But that's terrifying!
Yes.
Well, how did it get through space?
An obvious question. I wish I knew the answer. Possibly their planet of origin is turbulent from time to time, any internal explosions could cause surface matter to go shooting into space.
So what do we do about Winlett?
I'm thinking, Sarah, I'm thinking.
