Every spaceship has a voice; a melody of machinery and subsystems its crew learns intimately during long travels. The problem is, ever since the last mission our ship sounds WRONG. There’s something foul in the way it’s speaking to us. Barely audible murmurs. Strange whispers no machine could make. The dark corridors and vast halls almost seem to SING.

Void Seeders are strange creatures. Because they mainly don’t exist. Only Lairs, Nest, and their sole guardian Despoiler are there in physical forms.

You have to care about your mind to screen yourself from these effects.
