A mysterious humanoid being was encountered by both the Mithraic and Atheists after landing on Kepler-22b. This being later attacked Mother and was killed, upon which it was revealed to be carrying a skull Father identified as belonging to a Neanderthal, an ancient offshoot species of human. The skull's composition indicated that it was not from Earth, which Father took as evidence of an ancient human population that had somehow come to exist on Kepler-22b. Furthermore, Father deduced that the creatures they had previously encountered were in fact descended from humans, but had devolved into an animalistic state.
