[snip]Given they now had a blob to experiment on testing ideas to ‘sour the milk’ as one older engineer over 30 years ago once said could be viable. But there was also the moral complication that perhaps was arising, that being just how smart were this/these things? Where did they draw the line on experimenting or changing things to the natural habitat which they seemed to be literally inside of and possibly unable to escape? Was there a means to communicate or something more? So many questions so few answers.

Katie glanced at the Trill science officer. “Whenever you’re ready let’s head over to Engineering.”

Gavin watched the pair leave the Bio lab, then returned his focus to the blob. With the additional data he retrieved, the Doctor was able to hypothesize that the blob was able to consume organic energy as well, which he assumed could be living beings.
Ensign Stacey wasn’t exactly sure where he’d begin investigating the intelligence level of this being. In humanoids, a standard of showing someone an option and repeating the name would normally suffice. “Looks like it’s just you and me, mister or madam blob.” The Doctor said as he pondered a strategy.

Once Stacey was alone with the blob, barring three other NE’s nearby doing comparison analysis on the readings so far with other things. The blob itself seemed by now to have ‘rested’ itself up. It slowly scooched around the containment field, small tendrils of its blobby body rising up and out to feel the full details of the containment of its prison. System scans showed it tried to drain the energy production of different parts of the field, or combinations it, but the simple fact was that alone as it was it wasnt able to overcome the energy being dumped into the fields containing it to have any real effect.
After about five minutes of this effort it scooched back to the center of the field. It seemed then to try to use its natural ‘phasing’ or ‘cloaking’ abilities. A point the computer was hasty to point out and adapt too on the fly, the result was that the a tendril of the blob was prevented from phasing through the field in one spot, as a result it got a solid ‘shock’ as it was jolted back to the center and became fully visible again.

Several minutes later, the new CNS walked into the lab and glanced around. The Captain said to help out. The question was… How?
Stopping an NE as they walked by, she inquired who might be someone she could speak with. The Ensign pointed to Dr. Stacey. She came over and made sure to step into his field of vision before speaking. “Ensign, the Captain sent me to see about getting figure out a mine of communication we could give and get responses through. Was told to some speak to you from that Ensign over there.” She nodded to the NE that has sent her this direction.
The young Romulan looking woman smiled and glanced at the specimen before them in the emitter field.
