"The stardust from the constellation can affect animals. It would be very handy if you fight a few dozen and check them for contamination signs once they're weakened. A yellow glow, erratic behaviour, walking aimlessly and looking up to the stars... Meanwhile, I will go to the areas you described as being unusual and see if I can find the first pieces."

"Welcome back, ____! Ah. I see the animals did not seem unusual, then. That is great news! Perhaps the detritus has not affected anything living just yet... or it could be manifesting in some other way that I'm not familiar with.

Oh! Here's the residue I collected from the lands you've described. Check out how it looks, in case you find more. That was a good exploration effort. I will hold onto it, just in case it could have a physical effect on you. Let me study its properties on your planet."

"What? It was EATEN?! Oh no! Who knows what EATING the stardust will cause in this ecosystem! I need to think on what to do next - tracking a crocodile seems very dangerous for a lion. If it's any consolation, I've found another Cancer residue while I was looking for test subjects. I know, I know... I will stick to rats from now on. I promise. Let me finish my studies for now, and we'll talk tomorrow."

(+ 1 residue!)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Don't worry! I haven't lost any rats today. I did feed the dead ones to the live ones, though. It is amusing that they are willing to eat ANYTHING. What? Don't look at me like that. The crocodile ate this antelope... thing. I need to find out what may come out of this.

Meanwhile, I would appreciate it if you could do another survey of the lands. Try looking up north from your last search, and report back to me if anything looks out of the ordinary, or if you spot a glowing yellow detritus."

"Hey, ____, I've caught up with you! I've found some more Cancer residue. This mission is really starting to shape up, and I'm hopeful that the constellation can be restored! If it wasn't for one mad king's mistakes, the kingdom, the home for all lion souls, would not break apart... Oh, you've heard of Apedemak? Yes... He is not the first, and he won't be the last. His kingdom is located at the muzzle. A truly magnificent world, illuminated by two suns. One is dying...

Well. Anyway. The kingdom fell apart, and the corruption spread from the muzzle onto the neighbouring constellation, Cancer. This is how it all began. Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm not here to babysit all of the residents of my projects. Let's go back and store this residue in a safe spot. I shall check on the rats as well."

"Greetings! I am very busy today, but I have one thing to ask you for. When your lionesses go out hunting today, could they keep an eye out for some crocodile poop? ... What?

We need to see if it's digested the antelope! Your lionesses can just look at the poop along the riverbanks and waterholes. Maybe they may end up finding one with stardust in it... Just something your pride could look for while doing their duties, you know. I won't bother you personally to find something so inconspicuous."

Your lionesses have not found a sparkling crocodile poop yet.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Oh... So it's drawn to the water yet again. It behaves really strangely on this planet, full of such diverse life. Walk with me. We'll talk as I gather the stardust. It looks as though the rats feeding on this stardust, even accidentally, do end up changing. Slowly, they succumb to its radiation - but, instead of killing them, the Cancer deforms their bodies in an attempt to adapt to this new kingdom.

We have to wipe out this Cancer from the Earth. This planet, its fauna and flora, do not deserve to suffer. Your bodies can't fight it. I will do everything I can to wipe it all out as soon as possible. I appreciate that you're helping, as well. Ah, there it is... there we go. Hmm. I will go check out that waterhole. See you tomorrow, ____."

"You know what? Everyone should be helping out. Submales patrol your territory and mark it, right? Perhaps one could survey the borders and report if he sees any Cancer stardust. Meanwhile, I want you to finish your duties for the day. Once you're back, I will tell you what I have learned from the rats."

Your submale has not found anything useful yet.

"____! Finally! Oh, it's so unfortunate. The Cancer stardust is quickly digested by water microbes... they get eaten by larger and larger creatures in the food chain, but... marine life... it reacts differently than the rats did. It's just so bizarre. It seems as though it was meant to happen this way. It looks like the names given to constellations have a purpose.

The bubbling pools were breeding grounds for creatures tainted with this residue. I saw a few of those... twisted creatures... leaving the pool! They must be invading your lands! Jima, you need to go exploring and kill all ten of the Celestial Crustaceans that I saw emerge into your territory!"

Hunhow! There you are. I woke up at night and decided to study some of your flora. They seem to have some amazing chemical traits that could cause a cleanse after ingesting them.

So, I think I've found a possible way to heal terrestrial animals from the Cancer's corruption. It would be an amazing project requiring lots of experiments, but we should give it a try! You're the lion who knows this world best.

Could you bring me 500 herbs, anything you can find, so I can study them and prepare some potential antidotes? Don't worry. I will do my job and look for more of the residue while you're gone."

“Wonderful! I've found some more residue near a local river. I worry that a lot of it sunk to the bottom, so we'll have to hurry with all of this. As I prepare the extracts, could you find me a few test subjects?"

Well... Maybe some of your... estranged cubs that you would normally consider killing off? I know it's horrible that I will have to use residue on them, but... It will motivate me to heal them even more. Whatever happens to them, I will take them with me on the Leonid trail, and they will have eternal fun, just as a cub should, within the Dwarf Galaxy. I promise you this."

"Welcome back. It will take at least a week before I have any results with the cubs. We're doing many different approaches in each test group. They're having fun playing with a sparkling cub-looking adult, let me tell you that!

Now then, that river. It would be great if you could check it out. I remember that it was a very long meander, eroded on the southern side, with a big beach. Oh, you sort of remember where it is? Wonderful! Perhaps you could take a closer look at the water and see if there are any stardust trails."

Hey! The cubs have found another Cancer residue while playing. It was hidden inside of a honey badger's burrow. I think I was able to retrieve it right on time! Ugh. Fine, yes, the water. We'll meet tomorrow. Let me dive while the cubs are sleeping."

"Hello again, Hunhow. I did manage to retrieve some residue, but it's already dissolved a bit, and I saw some big, deformed beings hiding among the river's muddy banks. There surely are a few more monstrosities out there, crawling and infecting other animals.
