No idea how much you know, but I'm gonna fill you in anyway. Some years ago, scientists on board this ship started to perform experiments regarding the merging of humans and kharaa. This has so far had a nasty result. They have created beings that are half human, half kharaa, and called them the draug. They were the ones that blasted your ship, they know you are alive, and they are coming this way now. Be carefull, they will probably look human. They have the ability to assume that disguise. However, they will still register on your HUD map as aliens.
By the way, I forgot to present myself. My name is Ceanjia, I've remained hidden on this ship for many years. I was originally installed here by my creator, Erin. She was asked to install me by the crew, but I felt that something was wrong and feigned a failed installation. Haven't surfaced before now, but I think something has to happen if we want to avoid the draug to escape into space towards human colonies. And as far as I can see, you're the ones that will have to do the work, because there's no one else here."</span></b>
<span style='color:gray'>"Hey, hey, HEY... We ain't the Drau... wait a minute... You stupid idiot, Bill! We are an experiment. We are Draug... So lets teach those Kharaa SoB's what the real meaning of being hunted is... Guys and Gals, its showtime!" *Charges weapon*</span>

Sparks, When you merge the rpgs whats the deal with characters, people who had chars 'tranfered' from AA(Ariadne Arm) should/shouldn't be recognized by people and vice versa, etc. or... what exactly? xD On that note, Dae, did you create a new char or transfer? Gwahir Killed his char in this so thats not an issue, those are the only two i can think of atm. Oh and boggle too(Tranfer i *think*?)
My old character is left scubbing decks in the Ariadne Arm.
<span style='color:blue'>"But we can't be Draug. The real Draug were attacking us remember? We need to get to them and try to tell them that we are human, just like them, before 343 can set them against us too. They are our only hope of stopping her and here mechs. She got to them first, so we will need to persuade them harder."
<span style='color:gray'>"Eh? who said all the draug had to work together and not attack each other.... humans don't..." *I Start muttering under my breath as I follow Boggle, barely audable to anyone standing right next to me.
