[Audio] Sunday, Week 84: Aberrations and Opportunities

[damn_it_jim]

McCoy here.

If you're one of our set of people inclined to hit things, I've got a list of targets for you. Three separate incursions into this reality need to be taken care of.

If you've never gone after them before, they're variations on that thing that washed up down at the docks a couple weeks ago: big, nasty, and if you take an injury from them, inhale particles from them or otherwise get their material in contact with yours, you're in for a damned painful and currently unpreventable death.

Normally I prefer that people avoid activities that risk them dying horribly, but these things are a drain on Salvation's resources. Since the greater good would indicate stopping them before they multiply to keeping reality from coming apart at the seams, I'll make an exception this time. Try not to cuddle them.

I also have some information on that little complication Salvation filled us in on and a potential solution for it. I'll make a point of lingering in the ship gardens if you want to know more, because I'm sure as hell not talking about it on an open channel.

Get some people together and get it done, then. I'm not proclaiming myself high arbiter of monster-slaying, and you've always struck me as having at least a functional amount of common sense.

Bear in mind that there are wraith swarms there, so you'll want to either go in with as minimal an energy signature as possible, or find a way to lure them to something so loaded with ergs that you can get them to materialize.

Maybe you and Stark can find common ground to make nice over.

[professorwolf]

Now, now. I'm perfectly capable of working with distasteful people, if it's for the common good.

[He's sort of teasing. Mostly. He can work with Stark, after all, and he has before, but that doesn't mean he has to like the man.]

I'll contact him and see if we can put something useful together to distract the wraiths.

[damn_it_jim]

Good. I'm sending you the coordinates now.

[There's a momentary rustling in the audio, before Lyall's communicator makes whatever alert it makes to let him know that a datafile is waiting for his attention.]

I have no intention of leading this particular crusade, but let me know how it turns out.

[professorwolf]

Of course. I don't think I would let you come with us, even if you wanted to, Doctor. This will be dangerous enough without bringing along civilians. No offense meant, of course.

[He might be teasing a little bit there, too. He likes McCoy, after all, and he's pretty sure the guy won't take offense at the comment.]
