Ensign Talyra - A Romulan Goodbye
V'Nille
((Biology Labs, Deck 4, USS Thor ))
Talyra had not foreseen giant spidermoths and missing gossamer mice on her task list of the day but it seemed that fate, such as it was, had a different idea.
Talyra: ::mutters:: This is a big reason why I didn’t pick any of the specialties dealing with life.
Orlon A.: ::to herself:: Ah dunna like bats.
Good. She wasn’t alone in that sentiment, at least.
Tito: I don’t think we have any of those around. ::He arched his eyebrow:: At least I hope not…
V. Saa: Oh… this is bad. Contaminated is an understatement ::he winced and muttered:: Did anyone win pet food from the Astrachthoni? This stuff isn’t even from our dimension.
Talyra looked over at where he stood, tricorder still in his hand. There was a pile of … something in front of him. That would be the extradimensional pet food, she assumed.
Orlon A.: Lieutenant Tito, do you have any suggestions on how ta take care of it?
Tito: Find who messed up and gather them and a few lower deckers to trap the creatures?
V. Saa: ::holding up the tricorder:: I think the answer might be more complicated than one person at fault but I do think this might be a group project.
Talyra: ::deadpan:: Oh good, my favorite type of project.
Orlon, A. : And do these creatures need ta be trapped?
Tito: I think so, given that some were in containment boxes.
V. Saa: We can also replicate more and larger ones down in Ops and at least the moths if comfortable leave a silk trail.
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.
Talyra nodded in agreement. Anything that meant she wouldn’t have to help hunt down every single giant moth individually was a good plan in her book.
Orlon A: We’ve already caught a moth, thanks ta Velaan.
Nodding in the Betazoid’s direction, she 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.
oO Please don’t tell me they’re keeping animals on this ship without know how to contain them. Oo
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.
Orlon, A: Tito.
Talyra: I can take a look at the consoles and see what I can find out. Someone had to have been specifically assigned to monitor these. Or so I would hope.
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? I
Orlon A: Aye, ta what are ya referring, Tito?
Dare she hope that the lieutenant was going to offer the sensible option when it came to runaway insect populations?
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: A diplomatic gift…?
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.
Talyra: Taj’el? Are the moths theirs?
Tito/Sachiko: Response
‘
Talyra nodded thoughtfully. That was an interesting fact to tuck away for later.
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…
Tito/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.
Orlon A: Aye. That is a good idea. Ah will….
The redhead looked around before continuing, apparently taking visual stock of the situation.
Orlon A: … go get some sample containers, so Ah can catalog and test the food.
Talyra nodded. That was a good next step. It was really too bad everyone’s positioning was such that the Romulan couldn’t just slip out without being noticed. That was a useful party trick for when she got tired of being around other people.
Tito/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/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!
Orlon 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.
That left Talyra with Tito and possibly a cat that Talyra realized she had lost track of sometime during the conversation. She cleared her throat.
Talyra: I will… go… find Lieutenant Taj’el and let them know about the moths. Maybe they will have a plan for this situation?
Tito/Sachiko: Response
She nodded with fake cheer and waved with equally fake affability before stepping neatly around the man to make her way out. She had a Vulcan doctor to hunt and hopefully pass this problem on to.
Tito/Sachiko: Response
