He took a moment to run his hands down the front of his uniform and remove the wrinkles his slouching had caused in it and looked at her with a small smile. "I don't have all the technical terms or anything, you need scientists and engineers for that, but chroniton particles can be a sign of a time shift, or a time jump... they can even still be occurring when you are around them.... you can get pulled to another time, or place, could end up just gone from existence, or in your own past... its time travel... I can't explain it but know it can get messy. What if your lungs revert to infancy or your cells age rapidly? What id noxious gasses from uncharted planetary history end up all you have around you to breath? And that's just the medical things that could happen... We need to be ready, that's all I'm saying," Makari explained. He didn't have all the details, not even close. But he knew better than to act like an emergency with an unknown particle was safe, was easy. This would be anything but. And he hoped everyone realized that, even if his examples may have been outrageous, they were possible. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"Thank you kindly," Sahara murmured, casting a grateful smile in Makari's direction as she made a note on her data pad with another frown.  This news was very unsettling and it bothered her to think that she may be dealing with something that she would have no idea how to heal or take care of.<br/><br/>Sahara arched an eyebrow and turned back towards the Captain.  "Are you saying, Captain Mitchell, that we are going into hostile territory, to encounter some substance that we aren't even sure we can handle?  Is that even wise?" she asked, looking at him before turning her attention to Lieutenant Lugus, and hearing what he had to say about the matter.<br/><br/>The news that came from his mouth was rather unsettling.  "So, in theory, we don't know what we're dealing with...Just that it's there..."  She let this sink into her mind for a moment before she turned her attention back to Captain Mitchell.  <br/><br/>"I know Lieutenant Tosh already asked about what sort of precautions his security team should be taking when venturing forward here," she said, giving a brief smile to Lieutenant Tosh before turning again back to the Captain.  "But, what about for the rest of us?  What suggestions or advice can you give us on the precautions that we should be taking while we enter this territory?"</span>
