Once the conversation between the captain and Sonvek is wrapping up, I'll add something to that effect. Unless he says something to suggest its too dangerous to beam down at all. If that were the case a more extreme possibility might be to evacuate and quarantine a deck, and examine him there.<br/><br/>Sometimes on the show they had those hostile environment suits--do those an official name or should we just call them that? (Incidentally, I hope our red shirts are better trained that the Enterprise ones and wont go removing their glove and touching things all willy-nilly.)<br/><br/>Saria, assuming our GM agrees I think you and bigwad73 should feel free to go back and forth without waiting on anyone else--none of the bridge crew would be likely to interrupt the captain at a time like this.
