Larnapse

A larnapse is an organism seen in the Farscape episode "Terra Firma." It has formed a symbiotic relationship with the Skreeth, allowing for long-distance communication.
When a larnapse is placed on the head of a third party, the Skreeth can communicate through that person. As the Skreeth begins to speak through them, the subject enters a trance-like state and their voice becomes distorted. After communication is broken (such as by the removal of the larnapse or the death of the Skreeth), the subject does not remember any of what they said. There is also a physical aspect of the connection; when connected by the larnapse, the subject will feel any pain the Skreeth feels.
In "Kansas," Grayza uses a larnapse on Braca so she can communicate with Skreeth, who is on Earth. To account for the gap in Braca's memory, Grayza claims the two engaged in sexual activities.
