"I hate to raise an alarm about what this substance is without knowing what it is. Captain Argent has enough problems without me giving him a new one. Perhaps Dr. Talbek can do a chemical analysis on the putty. If the substance is of any danger I better notify the Security Officer as well." Vasilii walks to the comm console. "Dr. Talbek and S.O. McConnell, this is Kugiikiishshi." Vasilii waits for a response. -----"What the hell, we’re in jump space, aren't we?" is Ian’s first thought on interpreting the merchant's accent. "If it were something serious, we'd probably be dead already." He keys the comm unit. "What’s up. Mr. Kugiikiishshi?" -----Through the thick veil of sleep that covers him, Saro faintly hears his name issuing from the comm speaker. Groaning, he considers turning over and pretending he didn't hear it but a moment later he rolls himself up on the edge of his bed and answers the page in a voice thick with sleep. "Mmm. Doc here. Wha’s goin’ on?" -----"Can you please attend main cargo. I would like you two to have a look at something." -----Doc stumbles his way towards the cargo bay, rubbing his eyes, wishing for a nice refreshing cup of caffeinated beverage — or better yet, another day or two of sleep. Finally waking up enough to put on a more professional front as he walks into the bay, he sees Vasilii standing by one of the imaging tables. "Good morning, noon, or night, whichever it is, Mr. Kugiikiishshi. What is it that you need me to take a look at?" Saro nods towards McConnell as he sees him enter. -----Ian makes his way down to main cargo, straightening his tunic as he goes. Entering the bay, he sees Vasilii standing by one of the imaging tables and Doc Saro looking quizzically at him. "The Doctor has certainly looked better." McConnell thinks, surmising too much caffeine and not enough sleep. "Got to keep an eye on him. Can’t have him crashing when things get tough." Vasilii addresses the two men. "Please have a look at this cargo container," he begins. "I noticed this container has an extra leg. Inside the leg is this substance. Can either of you help me find out what this stuff is? Dr. Talbek, I was hoping you could do a chemical analysis on this stuff before we remove all of it from the container. S.O. McConnell, in your service have you ever come across such materials?" Doc bends over and looks at the substance. Reaching into a pocket of his utility coverall, he pulls out a hygienic disposable glove and pulls it on over his hand. As Ian waits for Doc to pull on his gloves, he takes a close look. He searches his memory to see if anything rings a bell. Doc reaches for the substance, about to dip two fingers into it in order to pull away a sample.</blockquote>
