Final note by Dr. Andersen: While it worked wonders in terms of fending off angry Ancestors as well as some of the third party people, we did miscalculate that after the fight we had an entire swarm of pesticides, enlarged to be big enough to devour both us and the Ancestors combined, and ask for a dessert afterwards. Thankfully, the devolution staff neutralized most of them, but couple of smaller ones did manage to bite through our suit. Agent Muffin did devolve the buggers, but we think he was a tad bit too slow, since the hermetic seal was no longer there... and stuff. We started to lose air, rapidly so. Half of our body atrophied due to cold temperature and lack of oxygen, and the rest... we don't think we're gonna last for much longer...
Muffin and Trouble are aware that we're not going with them... Well, we are... sort of, we're just not gonna make it back alive. They tried to connect us to the medical bay, but even at that point, we were too far gone. Even if we weren't, the power wasn't anywhere near enough to maintain us breathing, and most of the supplies were used on fending off literally every piece of space creature that wanted to bite our heads off... Anyway, boys should get a promotion. Or a vacation... Whatever the higher-ups decide. Just, you know, give them some consolation for this mess. Do that for us, will you?.
Tell you what... we've worked a lot with Humans before, and sometimes with Therphaty. Since plants don't really feel pain, it was always... fascinating to us that the whole lot of you does. Many plants' dream is to feel pain same way you people do. But now, as our roots are freezing over, our leaves atrophy and wither, and we can safely say that we feel the pain in its most real form... it... hurts...
Dr. Andersen lost their consciousness after recording this message. Doctor Cinerias Andersen were declared deceased approximately three minutes after the recording ended. Recording was sent to the Parliament as an attachment to the distress signal from Agents Muffin and Trouble. It was later determined that Paratus had been subjected to massive damage, most importantly, the energy storage, which was determined to be the indirect cause of Dr. Andersen's death and disallowed two agents to return to the space of the Interstellar Union.
Following the last will of late Dr. Andersen, both agents Muffin and Trouble were offered a promotion. Muffin accepted his new post as a Space Commander in the Interstellar Union, while agent Trouble declined the offer and has quit his duty in Serenity.
