They had tried the agitation from the Gatekeeper on the ashes of Lugus, not that anyone had expected to work, but they all had that outside hope, that itch of a feeling...  It had worked on the other bio components.  It did not work, much to the disappointment of everyone, despite what they knew.<br/><br/>"Well, Capt'n, I do think we need to at least show some good will to these creatures.  In that we head back to their home planet with our pants around our ankles so to speak and let the life forms we took a way to get back home."  Dun's voices almost sounded like the crack of a whip.  It wasnt because there was any hostility in his mannerisms, but it seemed to any observing to be more of a state of diaphragm strength than anything else.  "Once we get there, maybe we can convince them with actions that we mean them no harm, maybe they will reverse the effects..."<br/><br/>He trailed off.  That didnt even seem right to him.  If these creatures were non living, he would have no hang up just blasting them away, cutting, probing to find the answer.<br/><br/>"Its just that I dont know all that we can do to change what they have done to us, sentient life forms.  I dont think they can help us get back to the position we were in before we arrived.  Anyone want to volunteer for some test exposure to various and random radiation?  I will bring the beer!"<br/><br/>Dun laughed and looked about him before settling back into his blanket that he had added to his entourage.
