Make sure the remains are cleansed of any residual radiation, and sent to the cloning department. Hopefully they can still be salvaged."<br/><br/>Aura nods her head in agreement to the first part of his statement.  "Yes Captain it is a shame.  Many of the creatures were truely magnificant.  Her heart thrumped a bit faster as she thought of her beloved wolves being lost to her forever.  "It is however unfortunate that the damage to those groups mentioned in the report were too severe to be salvaged; They were in zygote or spermetazoa stages, and were either completely or almost completely distroyed.  To avoid any accidental cross species contamination, they were irradiated and vaporized.  There are no remains."  Her sorrow at the loss of any animal let alone whole species, was evident in the shadows behind her eyes.[/][/]<br/><br/><br/>"Is there any particuliar animal you are interested in checking the status on Captain?"  Aura was always interested in what animals people identified with and why.<br/>
