Warnings: Parasites+

Hello, and good day- I am Professor Turo for those who I have yet to meet.

This message is more for those of you that also visited Snaxburg Island and either had one of the creatures there follow you off of it, or may have... unfortunately eaten any of them.

[As he spoke, Turo's tone may have remained calm but there was a serious note to it. There did happen to be a Strabby perched on the desk behind him, a pink bow tied around it, which Turo did know was around but didn't know was there at the moment. There was, however, one he did know was going to be in frame.

Held very much like a hamburger he lifted up a BBQ Bunger so that googly eyes were facing the phone's camera.]

I do in fact mean those creatures like this- for those who might not have gone to the island, or even those who may need a reminder. These creatures that are known as Bugsnax are parasitic creatures that only have that nature turn into something dangerous upon being eaten. So again-

[After setting Chipotle the BBQ Bunger back down.]

Do not eat the Bugsnax, they are parasitic in nature upon being consumed.

If you have eaten any of the creatures found on Snaxburg Island, we may need to have a word or more. Please do get in touch.

Are you willing to share it over the network or..?

[fractales]

They are something- if you'd like I can send them to you privately.

[telepathicignorance]

Sure.

Private

[fractales]

[There would be a series of images sent along. The walls were a mix of that odd red fleshiness and foods of various sizes, some even stretched out other than the supersized ones.]

This is their origin, and what lies beneath.

Private

[telepathicignorance]

What the fuck.

[fractales]

This is what they're made of, the entire island is as well.

There was a sort of collapse, and this was the area uncovered.

[telepathicignorance]

Are you sure that the ground collapsing wasn't the island itself trying to kill you?

[fractales]

Difficult to say. Fortunately, I had Miraidon's pokéball on me and was able to get back to the surface.

[telepathicignorance]

Please don't go back to the island.

[fractales]

At least not without good reason- the Captain has asked me to write up a report for his review before we approach either armada to propose creating some sort of quarantine field around the island.

Stop anyone from going in, or leaving.

[telepathicignorance]

Don't You already have enough information and evidence for a report?

(He's the most useful person living here. They'd really rather not lose him because he went back to a living food island just to gather information.

Also they like him.)

[fractales]

Fortunately I do, yes. Someone else onboard is going to share information they observed, and I am going to get into contact with the one I explored some of the ruins and looked over various carvings with as well.

I can take my time to make sure a strong case is made, and should have it finished by -if not before- the middle of next month.

[telepathicignorance]

You had me worried for a moment.

[fractales]

It is much safer not to go back- even with that part of me that wants to.

Illogical, and likely something my creator would have done.

[telepathicignorance]

Humans can be stupid like that.

[fractales]

He would have also eaten one.

[How does Turo know this?

The thought went across his mind, and the only reason he would think such a thing -even if briefly- was... well, the mind his was built on.]

[telepathicignorance]

Or tried to make you eat one?

[fractales]

Even if it would have done nothing to me, to at least tell if it was edible or not.


Then probably eat one.

[telepathicignorance]

(Somewhere they're sighing.)

Would you be forced to obey him or did you just not know you didn't have to?

[fractales]

I did not know I had the option, even if at times I would question- but that rarely went anywhere. He created me to help him, and so I did.

[telepathicignorance]

Yeah I get that. It took me six years to get free of my handlers.

[fractales]

I worked under him for... ten or so years? Before his

My apologies. I still have some difficulty with the subject at times.

[telepathicignorance]

(Shit, he's really fucked up over that, isn't he?

And here they were spamming the network with corpses not too long ago. How bad did that mess with him?)

It's alright. You're free now, and you've probably saved a lot of people.

(Even their friends are better off without them.)

[fractales]

[And really- this was only being expressed because it was still a private conversation.]

It is strange, in a way.

Just before my arrival in this world, I had expressed how envious I was of those young children. The bonds they created with each other, their pokémon, and the adventures they had been on just to get to where I was. That I wished to see the world, and have my own adventure- to meet new people and create bonds.

I suppose, in a way, that ship in a bottle that fell just before I took my leap has granted that wish.

[telepathicignorance]

I'm glad you got out.

(Fuck. Since when did they get so soft?)
