LOCATION U.S.S. Defender, Sickbay, In orbit of abandoned station in the Kelt Region.
MISSION Study of captured deceased insect taken during the mission insect removal, requested during AAR: Insect Removal.
OUTCOME A greater understanding of the insects was achieved however the information and understanding has been limited due to the lack of a live insect for study
KEY PERSONNEL
- CAPT, Sh’ow, H’Ltol {Observation}
- LT, Greene, Rhea
- LT, Reyes, Miriam
NARRATIVE The lieutenants started with a visual inspection of the insect, making note of details from size, amount of details of the body segments, including details about the fact each segment is covered in a hard exoskeleton, before moving on to take a sample of matter from the insect for the computer to analyze, which provided insight into the origins of the insects, which showed the genetic history of the insects only, only dating back enough that they would most likely been local to the sector the station was in.
The conversation then moved to suggestions of how to removal the insects on the station, which included suggestions of a gaseous form of sedative, or possibly moving the queen or queens to help guide the other insects into containment, however after some help from the Defender’s computer, a suggestion was raised of using pheromones from the insects to help guide them into containment in a peaceful manner.
RECOMMENDATION Despite the information gained during the study of the insect onboard the Defender, however to further the study and understanding we have of these insects, it is recommended we attempt to capture and secure a live insect, with pheromones being used to try and remove one insect from the group.
I would recommend this attempt to secure a live insect be done by volunteers.
RECOGNITION I would like to thank both, lieutenants for their insights on the study of this insects, as well as helping provide suggestions and plans for proceeding forward.
I would also like to thank lieutenant Miriam Reyes, for putting herself forward to help with securing a live insect.
OOC A short AAR to sum up the study of the insect that was brought onto the Defender during the attempt to remove the insect from the station.
