Tosh listened with a keen ear.  The options seemed sound, but there was no telling whether these<em>things</em>, whatever they were, were actually benign as everyone believed.  He chose his interjection carefully, waiting for the conversation to die down for just a moment to allow him a voice for his thoughts.<br/><br/>"Quite frankly, captain, it isn't clear that these bugs are truly as non-aggressive as we believe.  They could be attacking us as much as feeding on us or even both.  I wouldn't discount a more heavy handed approach just yet."  He explained, letting his eyes scan the room for the reactions of the others.<br/><br/>"We've lost too many crew members already, and two officers, friends among us all, as part of those losses.  I do not think we should wait much longer or the rest of us may share their fate."  Tosh said firmly before sitting back.  The age on his face was apparent, but he was still quite poised as ever.  Even aging 10 or 15 years had not taken the fierce warrior from him in the least.
