<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">Okay...My turn to chime in...  Here's an idea I ran past the three GM's... *waves to the orange people who are forever watching this thread* ;)<br/><br/>So basically, we know that Sam is the one that is not affected by these little Chroniton life forms...<br/><br/>I was thinking that Sahara could compare Sam's genetics with the genetics of someone that has been affected, and find that Sam has extra an combination of DNA in his genetic makeup.  Then, make clones of that DNA...inject that into the ones affected.<br/><br/>My reasoning is that, if these are life forms..meaning the chronitons, and they're messing with age...They'd have to be doing it genetically, I would think, meaning they'd have to tap into the DNA of a person.  So, maybe Sam has an extra combination in there somewhere that would repel them.  Sahara and Makari would just have to clone that that combo and implant it into everyone else, and let it grow, which will ward off the chronitons like it did with him.  I'm not sure of the speed in which DNA clones itself, but we can always make it work to our advantage with this being a story and all.<br/><br/>I've also realized and taken into account that this strand of DNA that Sam has would have to be something that's...useless to anything else but warding off chronitons so as to not have adverse affects on any of the wonderful life forms that we have on this ship.<br/><br/>Also, please notice that I said repel, when it comes to getting rid of the chronitons.  It's been brought to my attention that Star Trek frowns upon killing life forms.  It is my intention here that the chronitons be repelled from the body.  Furthermore, if everyone on the ship is..."vaccinated" with this DNA combination, they would have no one to feed off of, which forces them to look elsewhere for people to infect.  So, there is no killing of any life forms.</span><br/><br/>
