Starboy to earth.
Seems to be some kind of fungal growth. I think the satellite needs a nice scrub. I have the tools here. Beginning procedure.

I read once of a fungal growth that infects the brain; induces contented fantasies while it sets up home and slowly multiples until the host is bust a husk. This story made me think of that. 🙂
