Dialogue
Doctor Bashir, you think that you can fabricate a Ketracel-white substitute?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Julian Bashir
Dialogue
It’s not exactly that straightforward. You see, the Dominion have bred the Jem’Hadar and genetically engineered them to lack a very specific isogenic enzyme. Think of it as biogenic leverage.

Phase

Character
Julian Bashir
Dialogue
In order to provide adequate supply of this specific enzyme, the Jem’Hadar must be frequently administered with doses of Ketracel-white, which also provides all required nutrients.

Dialogue
If the Jem’Hadar are not administered with regular doses of Ketracel-white, then they will enter withdrawal and suffer the eventual and complete collapse of their genetic structure.

Dialogue
Due to the White, they do not eat or drink. They merely carry out orders like good little soldiers and wait patiently for their Vortas to administer the next dose. Quite ghastly, all things considered.

Watch your tongue, Doctor, before I remove it from your head. Where are you going with this little speech?

Well, since you asked so nicely, I was just coming to that.

Dialogue
The active chemical compound in Ketracel-white is Yridium bicantizine. This is derived from a very specific type of tri-nucleic fungi that are typically native to Kabrel I, a planet in the Alpha Quadrant.

Character
Julian Bashir
Dialogue
However, if we are able to source a supply of tri-nucleic fungi from a nearby planet, then I may be able to use it to synthesize Yridium bicantizine. If I can do that, then…
Objective ID

Character
Benjamin Sisko
Dialogue
Then you should be able to synthesize a replacement for the Ketracel-white itself and stop them from going into withdrawal. We may be able to save these men after all.

Precisely.

Commander, I want you and the good Doctor here to scan all adjacent planets within the system and beyond for known samples of tri-nucleic fungi. This is now your utmost priority.

We’re going to have the unit contained in the Commander’s brig. When we have all necessary resources, we will return to the Defiant where the good doctor here can begin his word undisturbed.

I would advise that we set off as soon as possible. This particular group of Jem’Hadar don’t have much time, and I have a lot of work to do.

Sisko, my unit is suffering. I must inform you that they may be prone to acts of violence as the withdrawals intensify.

Dialogue
Just a few more moments, Otep’lorr. Doctor Bashir is my chief medical officer back on Deep Space Nine. I have every faith that he will be capable of synthesizing a substitute before it’s too late.

We will be if we do not leave this place immediately. Have you acquired the sample of tri-nucleic fungi?

Yes, we should have everything we need. Preliminary analysis shows that these samples yield the same characteristics as the samples obtained from Kabrel I.

Doctor Bashir, we may have a match. Tri-nucleic fungal lifeforms have been detected on Aesom, a nearby planet. This appears to be the best match located within this system.

Dialogue
Take us in, Commander. However, I suggest we hurry and exercise extreme caution. The Dominion are surely aware of this place and likely utilize it to source their own production of Ketracel-white.

This work requires delicate hands. Looks like I’m going to have to get my fingers a little green. One to transport, Commander. Energize.

Bashir to bridge, come in. I’m safely on the ground. There’s evidence of Jem’Hadar activity. They know of this place. We’re going to have to be quick.

Sensors have detected several Jem’Hadar vessels approaching. They must have detected our ingress into their territory. Your suspicions were correct, Doctor.
