"Have a seat, if you wish. You can see everything from there." "Thank you." >He set the document down on a worktable and, picking up a tricorder, scanned the artifact for compositional makeup. Watson sat and watched intently. The scan revealled nothing spectacular, but that was not to say that it did
not provide any answers. The parchment was made up of organic
material. It was a material that contained the cellulose make-up of a
gorla weed, a plant native to Cardassia Prime and often used in the making of
fine expensive tablet. The ink on the parchment has a similar make up to
that found in the ink emitted from an octopus-like animal native to the northern
seas of Cardassia Prime. There are also traces of Cardassian DNA on the
surface of the paper, probably from the sweat of someone or someones who had
handled the paper. The combination is an expensive one, since the paper
and the ink were not replicated.
(any other questions about the parchment?)
