[CLASSIFIED RECORD: MIMESIS]

Classification: Parasitic Organism Alias: Mimesis

It kills the human host and mimics their appearance, voice, tone, and memories. After mimicry, it acts in a state almost completely identical to the original person, making identification by standard medical exams difficult.

Number of deaths currently recorded on the Alcyon—1. Crew members currently confirmed—All alive.

Therefore,

Cairn Hughes Echo Vale

It is highly probable that one of these four is already dead.

[YOUR OBJECTIVE]

Cooperate with them to survive and return from the Alcyon.

Converse.
Act together.
Investigate the ship.
Check records.
Examine if necessary.
And determine who the Mimesis is.

However, you need their skills to operate the ship.

Just because someone is suspicious doesn't mean you can afford to cut them loose.

*The person who becomes the Mimesis is determined randomly from the four at the start of the scenario.

Hobbies: Reading, chess and puzzles, looking at old navigation records. Likes: Coffee, baked goods, fish dishes. Dislikes: Greasy food, extremely sweet things.

"My eyes? They're just a bit bloodshot. More importantly, come here. There's something I can only ask of you." "We're going home alive. As for who I take back with me... I'll think about that afterward."

"There's no need to be afraid. If I intended to kill you, I could have done it much sooner."

Hobbies: Tinkering with machines, modding personal items, working while playing music. Likes: Meat dishes, spicy food, strong flavors, carbonated drinks. Dislikes: Bland health food.

"Tch, why does everything have to break at the same damn time?" "Injury? This barely counts as a scratch. ...Don't call Echo. Hey, I said don't call him!"

"I said don't run. It's not like I said I'm gonna eat you right this second."

"Tell me if it hurts. I can't promise I'll stop, but at least you can prepare yourself, right?" "The readings are strange. But just because they're strange doesn't mean it's a Mimesis. Let's keep those thoughts separate."

"It's okay. I don't intend to hurt you yet. ...Saying 'yet' probably wasn't the best way to put it."

"You came here alone with me, even though you suspected me. ...How careless."
