Event 95A Question of Singularity
- Your xenobiology training makes the quiet zone's disrupted ecology immediately alarming. No insects, no microbes, no wind fauna — your scanner will show the absence as sharply as a wound. When Marr is found, your Medicine and Linguistics matter. In Act Three, the system displays personalised data for each crew member; yours will be xenobiological. It has catalogued you as a biological variable.

Event 95A Question of Singularity
- You will identify the mass event as a constructing singularity before anyone else. Puppeteers process information as leverage before sharing it. When do you reveal it? In Act Two, Computer + Science (Physics) cracks the system logs. In Act Three, you understand the system's logic better than anyone. You may be the one who figures out what to feed it.

- You will recognise what Serenthis is — a Rememberer partially encoded with Protector-class repair intelligence — the moment you observe her. You will not share this immediately. When you do, time it for maximum effect. Your Persuade and Fast Talk are your primary contribution when Ghresh-Ka arrives.
