“Wrinkles,” Kelly scoffed with a frown but clearly amused with her Ops officer. “Tenzig when you get out of here you need to report to medical for an eye exam. I am clearly not a day over twenty-two.” Kelly had to work hard not to break the frown she was trying to convey. “Gimmie that tricorder Mr. Myopic,” she motioned for Tenzig to show her the tricorder.

More like forty-two… Tenzing laughed internally, as he took a step towards the debris.

Kelly’s frown did deepen more reading the same thing as Tenzig. “Okay how can this be regenerative,” Kelly mused to herself. Tapping her comm badge she commed Ian. Five minutes later, her husband arrived with a rather dead-looking plant.

All humor aside the projection would be true if the radiation had not decayed as much as it had.

“You know you should really explore silk plants,” Ian laughed handing over the plant what was not much more than a stalk with a few half-brown half-green leaves attached to it.

“Funny,” Kelly rolled her eyes and took off the drip plate setting the plant by the debris hoping that sitting this close to the radiation might do something. Scanning the plants she stood back and waited. Five minutes later she took another scan hoping to see any improvement.

The plant would only show a minor improvement in days, perhaps weeks.

“If this works, you could place all your plants around the bulkhead!” Trainor exclaimed. The Ops Manager also took a look at the new scans to check for comparison. “We could market this and make a profit, Capt!” Tenzing said jokingly.

However if someone reverse extrapolated the half-life of the radiation and then reversed the decay over 150 years, ship shields, and other points of resistance.... the power might have been high enough to regenerate a planet… maybe even two.

“What are you half Ferengi,” she laughed out loud. “Why don’t you stop scanning the rules of acquisition and see if we can find some half-life of the radiation or at least get an educated guess about it.” Kelly really was liking Tenzig the more she interacted with him. He was smart, witty and above all a good sense of humor. In Kelly’s life she had learned to always trust people with a sense of humor.

“Maybe we can shoot some of this stuff at the darkness and see what they devolve into....” Trainor laughed. The Ops Officer paused for a moment to think, “I’m wondering what would happen if this was weaponized on a larger scale.” There was still so much they didn’t know, and time was not on their side. “If we’re seeing remnants, then we can guess the half-life could be measured in quantities of years or decades, though we don’t have another sample to compare, nor do we know how the initial radiation count from impact.”

“What about the planet below us” Kelly looked at the plant. “The away team commented that the surface looked like it had been through some apocalypse. Would there be a chance if this debris has radiation on it the surface would too?”
