0: Black Mass

Ideas

A station “andromeda” has gone dark after reporting a strange fungal infection among the crew. The reporter was a doctor, breaking the chain of command. The officers are reporting business as usual. Black fungal mass is moving through the air, it has been slowly infecting the crew and two are already dead.
