T20: High Law and Low Justice, Part 3

[Maerdwyn]

Ktarle, listening in over the open channel to the conversation, says "If it's the same slime that Trelene and Ruzz'koff down in engineering, the slime is large colonies of the same organisms inside the dust. The cells split apart and and dorm the dust crystals in a low oxygen environment"

Trelene: It looks like the same stuff to you.

ooc: sorry I wasn't clear.

Hearing the Aslans voice come over the channel Tomas nods in acknowledgement "so we need to be ready to kill any of the algae that comes with the bodies" he says checking their supply of chemical agents

"Doc" he addresses Ktarle "we've got a whole lot of Luriani floating around here, including a baby. If we extract them from the water do you have facilities to take them - or is it better to leave them where they are?"

 

[Maerdwyn]

"I don't have much more room in here, but I'm concerned about what happens if we turn the oxygen back on with an infestation still present - even if it's in water. The medic's log said she sedated them before putting them in the water with her baby - do they look like they've been sedated, or just sleeping? How is the baby?"

Quinn shares whatever he knows about the chip with Sanaath.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Quinn leans in over Saanath's shoulder as the younger man examines the protected chip. "That's compressed liquid flourine," he says, with his tone telling Saanath that he's not guessing. "Bathe the whole thing in neon gas as you open it, and the neon will bond with the flourine as it decompresses, and before it can ruin the chip." Saanath knows that starships' power system uses neon as a buffer, and that a quantity of it could probably be obtained from engineering.

Saanath, on the bridge.

Saanath nods. "OK. I understand the process. It vaguely rings bells, but I think that I will need help with the technical side of setting something up. I never paid much attention to the hardware side of things. I'm not sure who has the sort of skills needed for this. Tomas?

"How much of a priority is it? We've got about an hour til we get to the gas giant so I'm not so busy now. But that could change if any of our friends out there get some ideas. Everyone else pretty much has their hands full trying to get the ship clean."

 

[Watus]

"It's a priority. Take whoever you need. If we don't find some more options before we hit the atmosphere, there's a good chance we'll never leave it."

 

[Tonguez]

"The medic's log said she sedated them before putting them in the water with her baby - do they look like they've been sedated, or just sleeping? How is the baby?"

"They're unconcious Doc, probably sedated. Can't tell you much else from here

is there anyway of killing the bugs in the water without hurting the Luriani?, some kind of safe water steriliser?"

 

[Maerdwyn]

"The baby is the issue - the adults could metabolize the required concentration of alcohol, especially under the effects of the methohexitol. The baby isn't sedated - the alcohol would poison her.

If the other patients are sedated, they'll be able to survive for a few minutes out of the water. Kiria won't, so she's in the gravest need."

"We could use a small bath with an alcohol solution for the for the child. We might have to rely on dosing the water in the room for the adults. If we pull them out, we will have no where to put them till we have finished and can restart the life support.

"But the big question is how to get access to the cabin." Trel adds, nodding in the direction of the water filled cabin. "Is there no crawl space in the ceiling?"
