Just keep an eye on him at lunchtime. He may suffer a slight bout of idigestion from the pasta.

It appears you were correct, Major Scott.

As those of you who I spoke to yesterday evening on StellarCom will know, events have taken a particularly nasty turn.

The crew member who awoke from his coma was found dead in his quarters. He appeared to have been attacked by something which had burrowed right into his chest cavity. We can't figure out who or what would do such a thing.

We will be arriving at Babylon 5 in a few hours, according to navigation, so we'll get Doctor Franklin to do a full autopsy.

Poor man. First he has a bad experience down on that damned survey planet (although we still don't believe the team's reports that he was attacked by an alien parasite) and comes back in a coma; next thing we all think he
has recovered when he unexpectedly dies due to what appears to be a savage murder.

Another issue that is pressing on my mind is whether we have a murderer amongst us...
