[ The feed begins without preamble, and on the left of the screen, Spock is visible- seated beside one Charles Xavier. One of them looks slightly more empathetic than the other, especially given a combination of the subject matter, and time spent in medical bay. Three guesses who. Spock is the first to speak regardless, what has likely become a familiar address after these many months. ]

Greetings Tranquility, this is Spock.

As we have been made aware by passenger Banner’s informative briefing the science lab has provided as many intriguing theoreticals as it has presently unanswerable questions. All attempted scans of the computers therein were inconclusive. Data not in print appeared to have been wiped. [ His fingers steeple in his lap. Someone is less than thrilled by this. ] Documents recovered, appear to focus primarily upon cosmology, quantum chromodynamics, dimensional theory, particle acceleration, and medicine- with the inclusion of research upon the stasis sickness that affected our crew.

[Charles is listening with a pensive and equally thwarted looking expression on his face, though at Spock’s pause on the subject of the more biological end of their findings, he’ll sit forward, drawing a sheet of what looks like bloodied paper towards himself.]

Many of these notes, the ones not rendered illegible by blood, appear to be in various states of completion. It appears as if there was a good deal of work being performed on medicines, including the ‘cure’ we were lead to find a week ago.

[Shifting through the bloodied sheets, Charles frowns thoughtfully before he continues.]

There are other chemical equations that lead me to believe that there was also a dedicated effort being made to stabilize a compound meant to have a calming effect on humans. [Glancing up at the device, Charles tapped the paper before he looked over at Spock and then continued.]

In particular, it appears these compounds were being specialized to treat and prevent psychotic breaks.

Dr. Ross? If you are listening, I would like to discuss something with you.

[He then sits back to allow Spock to continue to debriefing.]

The science department presents an unparalleled opportunity for development, exploration, and study, but not without challenge.

Given an adequate number of interested individuals, I believe the laboratories will be significantly operational in a matter of days. I understand that passenger Clarke has already lead a party through the newly accessible deck and secured the location, however I do not believe it unwise to continue to seek accompaniment from our security team. [ He doesn’t need to elaborate, as he expects it goes unsaid. Their safety has never been guaranteed. ]

If I may request a moment of your time, gentlemen.

To "treat and prevent psychotic breaks"? [ Her first thought is Sterns, his attempt at curing Bruce -- and the room full of samples made from Bruce's blood.

After a moment though, she shakes her head. Focus, Betty. ] I'm listening.

[excessivehubris]

Dr. Ross! [He sits up smiling and takes a breath, obviously about to launch into what's on his mind when he just as quickly stops.]

Eh ... how are you at encryption? I am afraid technology at this level is still not something I grew up knowing how to navigate.

[soothing]

Passable. I'm not as good as Tony Stark, but I'm not sure anyone is -- back home, at least. Your colleague may be better at it, though we haven't officially met.

[ But it only takes her a moment to bump the encryption up to a good 75%. ]

[swagneto]

Human experimentation?

[ Though the question is aimed for Spock, Erik isn't averse to speaking to both of them; Charles already knows his thoughts on that particular matter, and the man shouldn't be too surprised to hear Erik latch onto that idea once again. ]

[firstofficer]

I cannot deny the possibility.

voice ):

[swagneto]

I'm not surprised.

[ His annoyance is not towards Spock, but towards the answer that it may have occurred. ]

What would you say the likelihood of that occurring on this ship is?

[stimulations]

You've determined what disease it was, then? The cause?

[firstofficer]

[ his gaze lowers, cants faintly to one side as his hands come together in his lap ]

A significant amount of research was conducted by the prior passengers. It appears that a certain degree of- expectation was involved.

video;

[stimulations]

So it's a reoccurring risk, then. [That doesn't alarm him too much, life came with risks, diseases connected to specific situations.] Were we left with any spare of the cure? Are we able to create more?

video

[redhotsummers]

...yeah that doesn't sound good.

[Meaning that prolonged time on this space-jam might lead to psychotic breaks; that's how he reads it, at least. And that's what happened to the last crew.]

video

[excessivehubris]

It is cause for caution and vigilance, I agree.

[agent_k]

How much information pertaining to successful treatment have you uncovered or at least has seemed to have survived? [Because if this was necessary medication as the stasis sickness treatment was, then obviously there might be need of it again.]

Has there been much information wiped from the computers before? [He might be new, but his guess is yes.]

[excessivehubris]

I believe we have sufficient clarity in the notes that if necessary the medication could be replicated. The challenge, however, would lay in whether or not the compounds used to create the batch we found, are still available on the ship.

[As for the computer question, Charles would let Spock field that one as computers were not the telepath's strong point.]

[firstofficer]

In this instance, it may be more appropriate to inquire after what information has not been removed. [ yeahhhh spock isn't all that happy about it either. ]

[anthropos]

If Doctor McCoy can spare me, I would be interested in examining the laboratory computers myself, Sir.

[firstofficer]

Your assistance would be most welcome, Lieutenant.

Do you anticipate that you shall be detained much longer?

[cargojet]

Stasis sickness? You saying we got this sick cause of the jumps?

video;

[excessivehubris]

I am afraid the notes were too degraded for me to find confirmation of that direct correlation.

[logicals]

I want to join you on your next expedition to the science labs.

[firstofficer]

[ he pauses for a moment, a flicker first of recognition- then understanding. ]

I welcome it, Mister Holmes.

[cutsofftheirlimbs]

Of course, Mr. Spock, what's the issue?

[firstofficer]

I wished to inquire after your- personal opinions, regarding your experience with the creatures we had encountered.

[leaps]

So we're calling this mission a success?

video;

[firstofficer]

Tentatively, Lieutenant Sulu.

I presume you have recovered sufficiently?

[statsraaden]

[Oh, you shouldn't have told Stats about this. He's not going to let it go until he's explored the labs inside out and read everything.]

Hello! I'd be interested in exploring the labs. When do we go?
