Dolari Haryail tilted her head in acknowledgement. "Of course, Ambassador. The Venasian people would be pleased to present the report to the Council. I will request copies be sent to each of the ambassadorial offices prior to General A'amon's arrival." Her expressionless, almost docile look didn't seem challenging at all.
Rilg had to admit that he was not fully up-to-date on this matter. In fact,
he really knew almost nothing about it except what he had heard in the news.
"Madam Ambassador, for those of us new to the group perhaps you could give us
a bit of a rundown on the situation. I know that I could use a briefing on
this, and I think that some of the other members could as well."
"Of course, Ambassador," Dolari said. As she started, some lights in her Borg implants came to life, blinking as she accessed a different part of her brain. "As you know, the Venasian people have been largely displaced since the meteor destruction of our homeworld's biosphere. We have been living scattered throughout three quadrants on colonies and in cities, all by the generosity of our neighbor races. However, we have always been worried about becoming a scavenger culture, and have actively searched for a suitable homeworld to colonize. Some months ago, a possible candidate was found by a research team chartered by this Council. However, a Venasian survey team discovered a chemical called lapizine in low levels within the planet's hydrosphere. Lapizine is considered inert and harmless to most races and therefore would have been ignored as a residual by most survey teams. But lapizine is toxic to Venasians. While not immediately toxic, it is not easily expelled from the body. Instead, it is incorporated into the body's tissue through the respiratory system and builds its toxicity over time. Within a generation, our population would have seen a high proportion of birth defects, terminal illness, and mental incapacitation. Because of this we seek to revisit this issue with the Council when General A'amon arrives."
