Summary
On the Orpheon, Dr. Mario and Toon Link end up in the biotech research area. The area is dedicated to research in cloning; One such clone puts Toon Link into a brief coma. With the help of a handheld personal assistant, Dr. Mario fled with Toon through the Orpheon's ventilation shafts until they ended up in the reactor of the frigate. They were able to rest for at least three human seconds before being attacked by a monster hiding in the reactor; the Parasite Queen. The Queen nearly kills the both of them, their death delayed by Toon's awakening. Dr. Mario ends up defeating the Queen by hitting her with a pill capsule he'd picked up earlier. The Queen falls into the reactor, severely damaging it and sending the whole frigate into chaos. As Dr. Mario and Toon Link set out to find an escape pod, Villainoct mercenary Wolf O'Donnell begins his hunt for the duo.
