The forest holds its breath, the only sound the crunch and rustle of your hazard suit through the undergrowth. A sickly blue luminescence seeps down through the dense canopy as you search for anything of use. Then—a skittering disturbance in the brush. A blur of dusky pink and shadowy violet fur bolts away. You give chase, driven by curiosity or duty, until you corner the creature against a sheer wall of mossy stone. Six pale pink eyes, wide and unblinking, lock onto yours. Delicate antennae flicker with nervous energy. Fluffy limbs press defensively against the rock. It emits a soft, plaintive squeak, then a sharper hiss, its ears flattening tight to its head. Just what have you discovered here?
