<Lt. Cmdr. Beata, Slater Planet City Hall>

"Lt. Cdr Beata, McRae here.  We've finished the comparison of previous DNA scans, with recent ones from both uninfected and infected inhabitants. (...) But I'd prefer to treat the cause instead of the symptom, once the immediate medical situation is addressed, of course."

"Very good, Doctor, good job. I'll contact the Lafayette to see if they noticed any exterior activity that could be related to the problem here. Beata out."

The way the doctor speaks, I was thinking, all this had to be due to an exterior factor, possibly Romulan. I was hoping this wasn't the case, but I had to find out.

"Beata to Mortimer. Everything down here is progressing normally. The medical team has established though that an exterior influence is probably the cause of all this disturbance. Have you identified any possible source?"
