Nausicaans, eh? Can’t say I know too much about them. Violent species?

Dialogue
Generally speaking, yes. Their society is divided into clans, each clan ruled by a Warlord. We should approach them with extreme caution.

How’s that compound coming along, Spock? That planet doesn’t have much time.

Would you look at that? They've slowed down their reproduction… But what are they doing?

They are moving in large groups, seemingly toward other biospheres. Fascinating. It almost seems like they are… sleeping.

Tribbles? Sleep? I thought all they did was eat and reproduce?

It appears as though the Antraxi DNA we introduced has influenced the behavior of these Tribbles. They appear to be somewhat… lazy.

I believe “somewhat” is an understatement, Spock. Look at these things.

I have extracted a small sample of DNA from the Antraxi, Commander. We can release the creature on the next habitable planet we find.

In the meantime, Spock, get working on that compound. Commander, bring us back to Collep. The planet doesn’t have long.

The Antraxi, eh? Can’t say I’m familiar with them.

They are a non-sentient aquatic species. Their genetic sequence is a perfect match for the compound. Finding them, however, might prove challenging.

Fortunately, Spock, there is an Orion base nearby known to sell Antraxi as pets. I am setting a course now.

Fascinating? We’ve got a dying planet down there, Spock.

Indeed, Captain, but from a scientific standpoint, these results certainly are interesting.

Dialogue
Interesting or not, we need to stop it. Any ideas?
Objective ID
1,806,174,610
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Spock
Dialogue
Yes. The rapid evolution has been brought on by a genetic sequencing compound introduced into the Tribbles RNA. If we can synthesize a neutralizing compound, it should reverse the effects.
Objective ID
1,806,174,610
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Spock
Dialogue
We will need to find samples of DNA from creatures matching the Tribbles genetic code. I have sent a list of such species to the Commander.
Objective ID
1,806,174,610
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Many of these species are either extinct or are rare in this galaxy. However, I see two that may be possible. Nausicaans and Antraxi.
Objective ID
1,806,174,610
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Spock
Dialogue
Hmm. Nausicaans. Warlike, stubborn, moderate levels of intelligence. Antraxi. Peaceful, docile, low levels of intelligence. Either species would serve as acceptable subjects.

Character
James T. Kirk
Dialogue
Alright, then. The choice is yours, Commander. Which species’s DNA should we use to synthesize the compound?

Spock, what am I looking at here?
Objective ID
1,806,174,610
Phase

Character
Spock
Dialogue
The Tribble’s accelerated evolution has triggered a chain reaction of some kind. Their genetic code is being re-written at an alarming rate.
Objective ID
1,806,174,610
Phase

Character
James T. Kirk
Dialogue
And? It seems interesting but what does it mean, practically?
Objective ID
1,806,174,610
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Spock
Dialogue
The Tribbles are reproducing at an exponential rate, to match the curve of their evolution. This planet is being overrun.
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
James T. Kirk
Dialogue
We can’t let that happen. There are a number of native species to that planet that won’t survive such an expansion of Tribbles… Commander, take us there.

Yeah, I do. They’re popular pets around these parts. Easy to take care of on account of them not doing anything.
