Lugus raised his eyebrow.  Hadn't he already said they needed to do their own scans to be sure of what they were dealing with.  Stating what had already been stated and something that was so plainly obvious was simply illogical.  "Are you suggesting ensign that it is a waste of time to consider possible solutions based on what do know?  Wouldn't it be more logical to continue on building a base to work from instead of waiting until we arrive to come up with a solution to what the Captain has required of us?"<br/><br/>"The captain does not strike me as the type to make idol requests and as such will be looking to see some sort of results from our efforts.  When Lt. McGalleon gives his report on our findings wouldn't it be better to say that we have looked at the problem from every angle but we still need more information.  Or would you rather tell him we decided there was insufficient data to make any form of attempt so we merely did nothing."
