Lugus leaned slightly forward in his seat with his fingers steepled before him, "Presumably not long after we received our orders I received a transmission containing the initial findings of those scans that were made by the cargo ship.  In the time that we have left space doc until now I have ran side by side comparisons to what is known about chronitons against these new findings.  With out tests of our own there is no real scientific evidence to back my conclusions however there is enough evidence to safely say what ever this find is, it is not chronitons as we know them."<br/><br/>The Chief Science officer paused to look briefly at everyone who was gathered for the meeting, "And as Captain Mitchell has so wisely pointed out it would indeed be the logical step to be extremely judicious in our pre-scans and in collecting samples for on hand study.  And if I may speak frankly I do believe that this material what ever it turns out to be could quite possibly prove far more hazardous than being attacked by a Romulan War Bird or being assaulted by a boarding party."
