*'''[[Gaius]]''': ''"[[Tau Ceti IV]] was not the only planet considered for colonization, but [[NuCaloric]] believed it to be the most promising. Gravity, atmosphere, ideal growing conditions for [[Earth]]-based life..."''

*'''Gaius''': ''"We made the best selection we could with the information available at the time. The data you've gathered leads me to a new, tentative hypothesis... There is more to this planet than it seems."''

*'''Gaius''': ''"The accelerated mutation of life, the cognitive decline of the colony's support [[AI]], and the disappearance of the colonists themselves... These events may be related in some way."''

*'''Gaius''': ''"Thank you, [[Runner]]. The information you have gathered thus far has been... illuminating."''
