OOC: As Tim is out this week, this is for Catt and Mykel to deal with :)

NE Eureka had a busy day ahead of her. The lab was bustling with activity from the journey into the beta quadrant, and there was a hum of excitement in the science department, thanks to the exploration the Ark Angel was about to undergo. In preperation, NE Euraka had set a lab station aside for her own personal studies, which included looking at microscopic lifeforms. It was then she noted something about a sample of soil collected from the planet before the vulcan blew himself up.

=/\=NE Eureka to Ensigns Owens and Bennet, I found something you might want to take a look at=/\=

NE Euraka - Science NPC
Catt was as usual tending the plants in the arboritum when the call came in. She was in fact feeding the carniverous Andorin plant while singing it a Andorian. Feeding it was accomplished by using a ten foot spear with Andorian skaav mear stuck to the end shaped to look like a living Skaav and moving said meat puppet about in a manner that simulated life. Catt had determined that the plant was doing poorly due to a lack of excercise so was inducing it to hunt it’s prey rather than just letting the automatted feeder drop meat into it’s mouth. The plant finally snatched the lure and Catt withdrew the spear and sealed the Carnivores barrior again. She tapped her combadge,
=^=Bennet to Euraka. Where are you? I’ll join you as soon as I have stowed my gear=^=, she replied as she walked to the locker, cleaned off the spear and secured it into lockdown. She didn’t know anyone on the shipvery well as yet . So wondered why anyone was asking for her. Technically till Lt Frogue met and cleared her for duty she was just a passenger who kept busy tending the plants.

Ensign Catt Bennet. Science.

=/\=I’m in General science Lab two, Bennett=/\= the response came. Eureka looked at the dirt sample, and the small bit of slime that wiggled around within the patri dish. And she looked back at the screen with a look of confusion.
NE Eureka

OOC: Because Catt isn’t checked in yet IC, and the CSO is currently LOA till the end of the week, this is supposed to be after that so Catt would be checked in at this point ;)
Ben

Ooc: Ok.
Catt headed for the lab wodering what was going on. Eurika was a excitable sort so it was potentially not anything to special. Still it was good to have someone actually want her for something. A year at a post where everyone ghad excluded her and blamed her for everything that went wrong even if she was half a planet away had reinforced her tendency to stick to solo projects. But she missed4 working das a team..

“How can I be of aid?”, she asked as she entered the lab and walked over to The NE.

Ensign Catt Bennet. Science.

“Take a look at this,” Eurika said as she pulled up a digital display of a microscopic view of dirt. “We found this dirt on a planet we visited, back when Starr was chief of Security, there was this grave site that a gelatenous lifeform fed from. When it was disturbed it attacked him and the Engineer he was with, had quite the personality, held rather interesting social events in the holodeck from the crew. And her voice, ah her voice was to die for,” she said.

As she rambled on and the view on the screen was visible, on it were small gelatinous particles mixed within the dirt particles that were moving around, crawling through the dirt. They were moving in a hurried way, like it was agitated. “What do you make of it, Ensign?” Eurika asked

NE Eurika

Catt smiled, “Sounds like you had a crush on that Engineer Euriika. Was he cute?,”, and Catt looked at the imager and hrmmed, “Somethings bothering them. Thats for sure. At a pure guess they are hungry. Couldn’t be a lot of organic matter in this sample. Feeding at a grave site you say. We could try various plant and animal matter as food but not sure we really want to grow another flesh eating creature. That Andorian maneater in the Arboritum is nothing but a accident waiting to happen as is. My opinion Eurika is that we need to ask someone on the command team to decide.” Catt tried to contact the Science DH but there was no responce,
OOC: Frogue’s not back from loa so to push past this.
and she sighed. “Every time I try to step back and get distance. I end up having to interact with the man I have had a crush on since my Cadet cruise Eurika. So I keep ending up feeling like a Idiot.
=^=Sciences to Executive officer Starr. Ensign Bennet in science lab one. One of our soil samples has what seems to be microscopic life spores from the creature you encountered last away team. please advise on what you think ought to be done? Study the live organizms? Or sterilize the sample.”, she tapped to end the comm call and sighed. “So even work related things make me feel akward. He told me straight out I am not his type. After that theres nothing left but akward you know.”, and Catt just kind of did a full body sigh.

NE Eurika giggled “You have a crush on the XO? I guess he is rather athletic, but he plays for the other team, if you catch my drift,” she told Catt. “And well, she was rather interesting, I must admit,” she said, about the Engineer she was talking about. It was at that moment the commbadge call came back

=/\=Look into it, make sure it isn’t a danger, and then decide what is best=/\= the comm came back, Simon’s southern voice on the other end. “Based on the reports, the creature attacked only after the grave site was disturbed. Maybe it was being defensive?” she asked. Looking at the screen, the slime was moving around the dirt even more frantically and quickly as more time went on.

NE Eurika, Science

Catt sighed heavily, “He’s gay? Ah well I never saw any indication. But then I wasn’t looking for any. Ok I don’t like how agitated these things are. So If We err on the safe side It is likely for the best.I say Sterilize the sample. We already recycle everything organic with replicators so a living composting agent is no use to us.. Do you see anything useful we can learn from it Ensign? It’s your find so you get final say.”, It was likely the only safe way of dealing with these things.’She wasn’t entirely happy with making the choice. “Your Engineer was a woman? Is everyone on this ship gay or just everyone I want to date?”, Catt asked more as a joke than as a serious question. You know Cait is a matriarchy and that seems to lead many of my species into weird relationships. But that I keep running into the same relationships everywhere I go is either a sign that life is life no matter where you go or that I am just a weirdness magnet.” , Catt turned her attention back to the sample. “What has you so upset little slimes. “, she wondered out loud.

Ensign Catt Bennet. Science.

“I’m honestly not sure, I mean, I don’t know about it’s intelligence level at the moment, but one thing is for sure, this slime, whatever it is, is definitely alive. Just, it isn’t a lifeform our computers recognise,” Eurika responded. “And not everyone, no - just everyone is different. I mean, our captain for example, have you met her?” she asked.

NE Eurika, Science

Catt frowned, “Now that you mention it there were two cases pf sentience at a microbiological level . But though were hive minds . If this was such a sentience I don’t think we have alarge enough sample of them to verify. Nor any means to understand them.. I’m a farmer. A overly educated farmer but I still. I honestly do not have the experiance or the inclination to make this kind of choice. We could I suppose put the sample in stasis till we find Lt. Frogue. I will look up the data on the last mission and any information on the place the sample was ftaken. Might be a clue as to what our slimy little boogerites are in that.”, Catt had of course failed hard at her diplomacy classes at the academy. It wasn’t that she fcouldn’t refrain from jokes in poor taste. It was more that the Academy had a habit of thinking certain races were good at certain things and Catt had no interest in being assigned to diplomatic duty. Boogerites Yeesh, her diplomacy instructor was likely cringing without even knowing why. The thought made Catt’s ears flicker in amusement.
