Captain, there must be an important reason why the Pakleds have chosen to reveal themselves now. We should pursue them before the trail grows cold.

Given how much atmosphere they vented, we shouldn’t have too much difficulty tracking them at warp. What can you tell us about them?

They are what you would term haplorhines. Their intelligence is generally low, and they tend to favor underhanded tactics to achieve their goals, only engaging with others for mutual gain.

But make no mistake: they are extremely hardy individuals, and can even survive in the vacuum of space. That hull breach will not trouble them, but it is our key to pursuing them.

She is also smart. It was cold, so we burned our wood. But then came smoke and dancing orange in the trees. We had orange on us. Oceans were good for making the orange and the thirsty go away.

I believe I understand, Captain. A freak occurrence of inclement weather caused the Pakleds to burn their forests to raise the global temperature.

This escalated into catastrophic wildfires, before they exhausted their water reserves to extinguish them. Even their oceans are running dry. Sensor data would appear to confirm this sequence of events.
