The Seeding. It is an odd predicament I find myself in. For the first time I have not been able to solve an Infestation problem. To add insult to injury, I am tied to my pilots chair as my spacecraft returns to AgriPrime 1935. And also, an example of the Infestation inhabits my control room. The creature is a mammal from the planet I have just visited, a newly seeded world and it has spent the flight time alternately peering through the view-ports and looking into my ocular orifices, screaming. My translation machine struggles with the sounds from the mammal and has yet to succeed in translation. I am the foremost Infestation Investigator of AgriPrime 1935. Where others struggle and fail to solve crop problems I succeed. That is why I was called to the Council Chambers last day-cycle.
