"Sir, if we had a better handle on this virus, perhaps I could advise more specific measures.  As it is, I'd be careful of anything that doesn't fit with the information we have about this planet and its inhabitants."

"Understood."

"Sir, the hyposprays containing the medication to return the Sliders' to their natural DNA structure are ready.  Has the best method of distribution been identified yet?  It may bring some relief and buy some time for the most critical..."

"Yes, doctor. The governor just informed me that he was ready to send a team of medical staff to you, and they will collect and distribute the sprays from you. Just show them a bit how they work, our medical methods seem to be a bit different from their. Should he send in his staff now?"

Almost immediately after my last communication, McRae replied:

 "Sir, there is a medical emergency on the ship; I don't have details, but it sounds serious.  My return has been requested. Lectron can handle this research for the moment. Permission to return to the ship."

"Permission granted, doctor. Just tell me if we can send in the medics to start distributing the sprays."

Awaiting for the doctor's answer, I contacted Straylar.

"Beata to Straylar, has your investigation led you to any new fact?"
