Velaan tried to assure Ash that the moths were not as big as bats, and if the one that he had plucked from Sachiko’s mouth was any testimony to the size, they indeed were not. That still didn’t change the fact that they were looking at an infestation. For a split second, the words, ‘of epic proportions’ crossed her mind, but she reminded herself that on Menari station, this would have been a whole lot worse! So she reworded the phrase - at least internally.
But that still left them with the problem of how to clean it up, when she remembered the story that Roe had mentioned when they were dancing the other night.
Orlon A: Could we use anesthezine localized ta just this room, and then we can pick up the creatures.
Tito: It might take some work to find something that will affect all of them, but it certainly beats hunting them down… ::He pointed to the cat:: Like how our friend is doing here.
A horrible realization flashed across Ash’s mind. When she and Roe ‘won’ their version of The Newlywed game, they were told that among their prizes was an immediate trip back to the Thor…Among their prizes. Ash had no idea what their prizes were, and wondered if this ‘food’ was among them. Velaan said that it was from the Astrachthoni.
Orlon A: We’ve already caught a moth, thanks ta Velaan.
Nodding in the Betazoid’s direction, Ash continued.
Orlon A: So if we kin catch at least one gossamer mouse, we could see if there’s a substance that will knock them both out.
Talyra: Response
Tito: We can see if the consoles here give anything away. Or if they have something that the Biologists already use.
Orlon A: That’s a great suggestion.
The title 'Lieutenant' almost crossed her lips before realizing there was more than one of them. Quickly she amended the final word to…
Orlon, A: Tito.
Talyra/Sachiko: Responses
Tito: I am fairly certain it will be easier if we pick them up instead of hunting them down. Besides I admit the alternative is possibly easier, I am not inclined to take it.
V. Saa: And that is?
Orlon A: Aye, ta what are ya referring, Tito?
Talyra/Sachiko: Responses
Tito: Purging them all. Suppress the creatures in any way possible. Cruel but effective.
Ash’s head swiveled between Tito and Velaan.
Orlon A: Did’na you say that these were a diplomatic gift though?
Talyra/Sachiko: Responses
V. Saa: How about we contact Lieutenant Taj’el and see if they’d assist the department in helping wrangle the moths, that way we try to preserve them.
Orlon A: Ah think that’s a better idea. Ah dunna want ta start a diplomatic incident me first week as Chief.
Tito/Talyra/Sachiko: Response
V. Saa: I’ll head to Ops and see if some of us can replicate some new containment units for both species, while also seeing if we’ve had any incoming complaints from other decks to map the spread. ::he grinned a little:: I’ll take lil hunter here into the jeffries with me to try and track some of the mice.
Orlon A: Let’s aim ta keep at least one male and one female of each species alive, so if we need them to procreate - unless they were poisoned…::Shakes her head:: Please dunna let them have been poisoned by the food. But Ah just mean, if they were a gift, it would be good fer us ta … Ah dunno. Still have some alive…
Opening her mouth to draw breath, Ash realized, once again, she was rambling. oO Enough said. Time fer quiet. Oo
Tito/Talyra/Sachiko: Response
V. Saa: I’ll get right on it Chief, which… uh welcome aboard, sorry this is one of your first days. ::He looks to the food:: You also might wanna get some scans of that food and sent it to DTI or Division 14. Something about it isn’t right, and who knows what it did to the mice.
Ash’s eyes swept back into the room…the food. Then upon hearing DTI and Division 14, she felt a sinking sensation in her stomach. oO Oh, Ah hope Ah am’na going ta be sick. Oo
Orlon A: Aye. That is a good idea. Ah will….
Her voice trailed off. Looking around, Ash realized she had no idea where to look for sample containers.
Yet.
She had no idea yet. But she would figure that out…right now.
Orlon A: … go get some sample containers, so Ah can catalog and test the food.
Tito/Talyra/Sachiko: Response
Orlon A: Then Ah’ll send some ta DTI and Division 14. oO And pray that this was’na Roe’s and me ‘prize’ fer winnin’ the game. Oo
Tito/Talyra/Sachiko: Response
Orlon A: Tito, see if you kin keep them contained - in this room. As much as possible fer now. Talyra, if ya could liaise with Lt Saa and keep me in the loop as to the extent of the infestation, Ah’d really appreciate it!
She paused and glanced between the two of them.
Orlon A: Well, in that case, Ah think Ah’d better go find those sample containers and get ta work. It was nice ta meet ya both!
She held her hand up in a half-wave gesture as she scampered away to find the sample containers.
