Ohnari: The computer hasn't finished the analysis of the second set of...remains, but considering the state of them..? I wonder if it is something they activate in order to avoid...but then wouldn't the entire Sheliak ward of the detention center just be...a pile of goop? Wait, you just said that.
Melville-Kilpatrick: Great minds think alike.
Ohnari: I wonder if it is something less....sinister? Perhaps given the silica based biology, this is how they avoid having stacks of Sheliaks littering the streets...? They seem to prioritize efficiency...::a chime alerted them to the new report:: Ooh, grab that PADD, we'll see if the other remains match.
Thomas enabled his sense of "hurry" and half-jogged over to the PADD--he was just as curious to see if they would match. There was a part of him that wanted to go back to talking to the Sheliak prisoner he'd previously been interviewing just to ask what was happening. If that could even be called talking.
Melville-Kilpatrick: Efficient is one word I would use.
Ohnari: Does it appear organic as well?
Melville-Kilpatrick: It does. The results are very similar.
Ohnari: So...they somehow managed to warp speed decomposition...either to protect intel, or just...how they are...? ::rubbing the ridges of her forehead:: Of course we have no way of confirming this, so our reports are going to be a giant question mark with little anecdotes of unverifiable information....? ::snorting:: Sounds like medschool term papers. ::sighing heavily:: this will go in the "We wish we knew" File....::slapping the fellow physicians back in comfort, grinning:: Welcome to life in Starfleet medicine.
Thomas just chuckled. He wanted to understand the Sheliak more, and it seemed like they might be able to open up some communication, if they could figure out how to keep them alive.
