1: Jocelyn calmly explains.
Jocelyn: The thing you saw is one piece of a larger creature commonly known as the Black Star. It is a singular biological organism that can reshape itself and split into a near infinite number of smaller forms.
2: Ikal looks worried.
Ikal: The kid said it hurt a lot of people.
Jocelyn (off-screen): This is true.
3: The two old friends speak in the room.
Jocelyn: The Black Star has compromised many species’ across the galaxy.
Ikal: Hedgeworth described it like a plague.
Jocelyn: It is more like a cancer. It spreads and consumes life indiscriminately.
You mentioned a silver shard. That shard is a fragment of the only thing we know that could stop the Black Star… we have been scouring all planets that might hold any pieces of it.
Ikal: But then… why would you want that creature back? Why not just destroy it?
4: Jocelyn explains diplomatically.
Jocelyn: Hedgeworth may have told you that some of us idolize it.
Some of our species, some of our camp, consider it the pinnacle of biological development.
