> CA: Say, have you heard about the Shadow Walker?
> AC: Yeah. I've heard rumors. People speak about a blind passenger. A few rations have disappeared and strange sounds have been heard. I hope it wasn't the Insectoid. You two have kept him all the time in your room, haven’t you?
> CA: We haven't let him out since we got him. Well, I've found him in one of the ration compartments, but that was when I got him.
> AC: Then what about this Shadow Walker? Now that I think about it, I do have heard about something or someone snooping around the ship. But those were rumors.
> CA: I'm not sure, but I think I’ve seen him. It was around last night while I manipulated the door in the Recuperation-Section. We wanna enter it without a problem whenever we want and leave whenever we wanna. So, I was tinkering around with the lock at the sliding mechanism when I felt watched. So, I looked around but saw nothing. But I think the Shadow Walker was right behind me. Invisible, if y'know what I mean. It might’ve been my nerves. But I'm sure there was someone. Like, breathing down my neck and such. It was kind of creepy.
> AC: Some people get crazy if they’re too long alone in the bowls of any ship. Dark places attract dark thoughts. Despite this rational explanation, I have a bad feeling. Nethra has also spoken about feeling a presence down there while she was trailing Lappor. I also think Slice knows about this Shadow Walker, but he doesn't do anything to find it. Perhaps it's linked to the weapon or some sort of hallucination. Or something else entirely. I mean, who knows what else was on that asteroid. It was near the Boundary where all kinds of creeping things live.
> CA: Then I rather have the hallucination than a dangerous creature from the void. Or even a god for that matter.
> AC: That's also what I hope. But we shouldn't let our guard down. Hopes and reality rarely coincide.
> CA: That's right. So, I keep my eyes open and let you and the others know about it if I find something strange.
> AC: Okay. By the way… How goes the search for the crowbar? Res told me about it.
> CA: Perfect. I've got one. Was able to take it unnoticed. So far, no one misses it. But I need to go now. Toddy needs to be guarded.
> AC: Toddy?
> CA: That's the name of the Insect-thingy. I came up with it.
> AC: Hehehe. Sounds cute.
> CA: Thanks. See ya.
> AC: Bu-bye.
