As the sample got placed near the metal sample, there was a small sign of increase in the power fluctuation of the metal shard. The organic material was soon partly absorbed around the metal shard. Scans showed that the shard’s effects on the biological piece caused a sort of accelerated decomposition of the material in question down to the point of it having 10% material left, at which point it stopped for some reason. Beyond this there did not seem any obvious other effects like what they observed with the wolf pack. Perhaps it was due to it being such a small piece? Or perhaps some other lack of reason.

Kane’s frowned deepend as he looked at the rapid degradation of the biological sample. “That’s concerning… Though I wonder why it’s causing the rapid degradation… maybe as a internal molecular rewrite sequence?” He paused to ponder. “The other concern is where it seems to be getting power… or if it’s potentially powering itself off of the biological material… like a biomass reactor would…” He sounded more troubled at this observation. =^= Computer, is the shard emitting any harmonics, radiation, or emitting any other known particles or frequencies?=^=

=/\= Target sample shows .03 hundredth of a second emission of alpha radiation upon contact with biological material =/\= It said. =/\= No other known emissions on record are detected=/\=

After getting the all clear from Ensign Luna, T’Mor was able to get back to an area with less interference and be beamed to the lab. The acting science officer took a moment to observe what was on the table. It looked cybernetic in nature, so she was grateful that the Chief Engineer was here to assist. She kept a reasonable distance from the device. Though maintaining her stoic demeanor, she was concerned.

~€> T’Mor, Acting Chief Science Officer

“Welcome back T’Mor, Luna all ok down there?”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

“Our team discovered something… unexpected. Luna is handling the situation adequately.”

Welcome back Lt. T’mor… we extracted this sample from a cow on the surface. Right now we are trying to figure out it’s purpose, exact composition, origin if possible, and how it may connect to the enhanced wolves… or at least that is what I hope to get out of studying it.”

Lt. Cmdr. Solomon Kane, XO

As Kaden noticed the sample getting adsorbed, he was worried any additional interaction with anything biological would cause the material to activate or cause damage to other biological material. He responded to the computer, =/\=Computer, please go ahead and activate a force field around the item. I do not want anyone getting hurt because of this. =/\= He waited for a response from the computer. He also wanted to see, now that the item was on the ship, if some deeper scans can be performed than what he could on the planet. He wanted to wait for the force field. He then said to the computer =/\=After the force field is up, can you please do a deep analysis of the item? I know I did a scan on the planet with some additional hardware, but we should be able to get a more in-depth scan now its on the ship. Please do the scan and report any additional data past what was already discovered.=/\= He then waited on the computer.

Kyle felt his hand unconsciously grip his phaser, though he couldn’t tell why.

T’Mor didn’t witness exactly what had happened to the biological sample, but she trusted Kaden’s concern was not unwarranted. Cybernetics was not her expertise. Biological sciences, though, were closer to her specialty. So she would assist from that perspective.

“I see you have already introduced a biological sample. Was there any reaction that indicated a possible change to the sample itself?” she asked.

~€> T’Mor, Acting Chief Science Officer

“Want to still touch it, Anders?” Doctor Stacey laughed. The Chief Medical Officer then turned to T’Mor, “The metal object had a minor increase in power flux just before it came into contact with the biomaterial, so I’m thinking it’s programmed to know biological matter”. Gavin turned to the table and frowned. The only alternative could be that the metal object has a living component underneath, which seemed a bit more unlikely.

“Reckon I’ll leave uh… handling the samples to you Doc,” Kyle chuckled in return.
