It is suspected the crew brutally killed each other, but the reasons unknown. However, when they investigate the crew of Teleios find there are two survivors, one member of the crew and an artificial life form unit. The memory of the AI unit appears to have been erased and Travis O’Neill refuses to talk.

The crew discuss the possibility of drinking the blood of the man they believe maybe a serial killer, or may be completely innocent.
