Benjamin set the sensors to monitor Madison’s bodily functions and set a screen that showed heat signatures. He then tapped a few times and started raising the temperature in the chamber slowly above room temperature.Dr. Grey - CMO
Liam became uncomfortable. His eyes opened and he noted his palms weren’t heating up. He frowned and looked at Grey through the glass, noticing the man had increased the temperature. His thoughts recalled various animals that could increase or decrease their body temperature based on independent action. Bats stuck out to him because they were warm-blooded mammals like himself.
“I’m not producing any heat,” Liam commented and continued to frown.
He knew without it, the test was going to be a short one. The systems indicated no change in Liam’s body temperature even with the higher temperature in the room.

Benjamin nodded “Perhaps your body needs negative stimuli, let’s try a more aggressive change in the other direction” He said as he tapped the console reversing the temperature below average room temperature “During other times you’ve produced heat was there something you did differently? It may simply be a matter of focus”

” Joseph had notes, but I haven’t fully reviewed them. Just skimmed,” Liam recalled, thinking to back to Joseph’s mention of taking notes.
“Computer, replicate Ensign Joseph Madison’s notes for Dr. Grey,” he requested as he clenched his fists.
Nothing happened. His breath came out misty and warmed the cold air, his body began to shiver slightly. Scans indicated that the symbiote co-existing had started to wiggle in discomfort. It was not happy being in the colder temperatures. The notes requested materialized on a nearby table to Dr. Grey for him to look at it.

Benjamin grabbed the notes, giving the screen a quick look before starting to read over it quickly. “It seems that your companion doesn’t enjoy the cold, let’s see if it does anything about it. If not I’m raising the temperature again, I’d rather not piss it off”

“I noted that and I prefer you not to upset it,” Liam stated as he felt the temperature drop more, his breath misted in the air.
As the cold seeped into his body, heat began to rise in his hands and spread through his body. It didn’t take long for his internal temperature to remain unaffected by the outside. Liam blinked in surprised as he looked at Grey.
“Well, that’s interesting.”
–CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci
“Hmm” Benjamin pondered “So we can surmise some sort of natural defense mechanism, now we just need to figure out how you can control or at least influence the temperature moderately” He paused the cooling for a moment “In previous situations did something special occur? Perhaps a physical threat or other stimuli?” He asked curiously.
