Her dialogue began to sound like someone in distress, judging by the tone and pitch, they were scared. I didn't think anything of it until she began twitching and looking around the room. She then grabbed a pipe that was connected to a life-support system and, after breaking it off, began beating herself with it. After a few seconds, she threw the pipe at our star chart, hitting a nearby solar system. The system had been avoided due to a notorious asteroid belt that pelted any scout teams in the past. After looking at the Selcoxian, who had passed out and was being stabilized by the others, I diverted our course to the Solis system. Something told me there was something we needed there.
