Dun turned and smiled as he listened to Liara's report of her past couple of hours and shook his head with a small laugh as she apologized for not finishing a report he had spent five years tallying.<br/><br/>"Please, unless protocol warrants it, Liara, please call me Dun.  That goes for you too, Lewis, if i may call you both by your own names..."  He paused a moment and looked back and forth, all of a sudden unsure of himself.  He almost missed the EEHs out stretched hand and took it quickly, shaking firmly.  Why he felt uncomfortable now, after so many years, was beyond him.  Maybe it was because of the task that was before him.  That must be it.  "Anyway, the cost analysis I have you working on can be done on your shift time when you are not running routine diagnostics and keeping the SDD Core together.  Please let your down time be just that and dont let my request hamper your leisure.<br/><br/>"Now, as for the mission.  Okay, it is broken down thusly.  We will be analyzing chronitrons that have not been produced by anything Romulan, thus the reason we are being sent.  As we all know, chronitrons have temporal effects on most anything the are exposed to.  For them to occur naturally is a bit of a mystery.  To research them without adverse effect will require some sort of stabilization field that we can employ to protect the ship and the away team that will be heading planetside to investigate.  And oh, by the way, this planet is within the RNZ as you may have heard.<br/><br/>Looking towards the EEH, Dun asked, "What ideas did you have?"
