<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>
Droll: Of course it is.
*Chuckles*
The next question being: do we save the alien?
*Looks over at Ben*
What say you, engineer?
Engineer Norak: My iteration wasn't that it makes sense the reactor is compromised beyond repair because it is old, though that did indeed play a part in it. The anomaly or... er... the alien, was responsible for weaking the quantum suppressors that were already damaged by time.
As for saving him sir...? I don't know... i'm not part of the government like yourself. I do believe, however we should proceed with caution.
