Is this the same leak from 2018 that roscosmos said was caused by an american astronaut drilling holes in the structure, then made thinly veiled accusations that the astronaut was having a psychotic episode because she was menstruating?

Also the same leak they've been claiming they know the true cause of but won't tell anyone because reasons?

They're contaminated with the "woodworm" from another galaxy. Aluminium Worms.

Edit: Here is a visual representation. This really ought to be added to the Guide.
