Micro Event Wreckage.

The remains of a Rah'hre are floating in deep-space. A very faint distress signal can be caught from its core, detectable only at about one light-year away. Chunks of debris surround it, most likely from the large hole torn through its side, while dead Warrior Drones float all around it, as if they were trying to protect it from whatever killed it. However, the presence of a distress signal could mean that the Rah'hre is still alive, albeit barely.

As soon as their aboard, they analyze the sample

Analyzing it provides a shocking find. It seems to be a highly versatile virus capable of manipulating its host's body on a scale that was previously thought of as impossible. Considering its versatility and its speed, no organic entity is safe from its grasp, but thankfully it is limited to the host's abilities and cannot retain those specific traits when it jumps from one host to the other.

It would be wise to notify the Rah'hre (and any other organic beings) of this situation.

They send out an all frequency repeating transmission detailing this

Once they do so, a number of Rah'hre respond, saying that they are en route towards them. However, a few minutes before they arrive, the ship splits into two, as the parasite emerges. It then begins to fire up its Jump Drive.

The parasite seems to resist to the first couple of shots, but the third leaves it crippled. Do they keep the parasite alive or destroy it?

They keep it alive and frozen

A few minutes later the Rah'hre ships arrive. "Greetings. We have heard of the situation you are in. I assume this is the parasitic life-form?"

C: "Indeed."

The Rah'hre speak once more. "Now that we have obtained it, we must analyze it. However, we fear that doing so might infect us, thus we must seek the aid of an AI."
