Dear Laura,
My test subject just ran away when I implanted horns onto her head as part of a Norn spriting experiment. I'm very sad, and fear for her life. I think she's written to you before, but obviously didn't take your advice. What can I do?

Dear Sad Hand,
I thhink it's safe to say that next time you should exercise more care in choosing a test subject, and tell them exactly what the end results will be beforehand! It might be worth considering that your Norn is probably at the lifestage where appearance is really important, so you can expect her to be overly self-conscious and upset about this. After all, she needs to feel confident with herself if she's ever going to attract a mate. Ask her family and friends about what her hobbies are, where she likes to go, and try to think as she does. Also put a broadcast over the ship's intercom, reminding her that her external appearance doesn't change who she is inside. Beg her to come back. If it is possible for you to reverse the process that gave her the horns, promise her that you will do so. If this does not succeed, enlist everynorn's help in finding her. Be sure to check the Warp, as she might try to escape through there, if she hasn't already.
