RE: Unauthorized container brought on board

 

 

Sirs, as you know, Lt. Malik and myself have been researching possible entry points of this unknown substance, and we have located one definate possibility. After our departure from Axrekrav, we had picked up several scientists that were to be transported to Nevuluz III. One of the scientists, Dr. Hatch, had brought aboard a small 30 cubic centimeter container that was not declared.

 

I have since contacted Dr. Hatch regarding the contents of the container, and he indicated that it contained a small colony of nanites, which he was developing in response to a patient with obsessive compulsive disorder and severe allergies. His patient was required to live in a sanitized environment, and could not live outdoors. These nanites would consume dust particles and other stray fibers to keep the environment clean.

 

His research indicates that the nanites are susceptible to abnormal mutations if exposed to extremely high levels of gamma radiation, similar to those found in supernovas. I forwarded the scans of the Aether system, and he indicated that the levels would be sufficient to induce these unknown mutations.

 

I have attached the specifications that the Doctor has forwarded to me to assist with locating them, although he warns that it is likely that any or all of these specifications have changed as a result of the mutation.
