>Daphne was pleased to hear that things were going well with the felinid

"Well enough," she replied, with the slightest glance toward the Klingon and a wrinkle of her nose. >"What have you folks sorted out about the felinid language?" "It sharrress a common rrroot with Caitian, but has some surrprrissing and dissturrrbing differrrencess. This confirrrmss the DNA analysssiss, that they arrre, orr rratherrr, werrre Caitiansss. It isss a rrratherr extrrreme dialect, but by tomorrrow we should have it fully enterrred into the trrransslatorr." >Daphne nodded as she listened. "Have we been able to use our new >knowledge to learn anything from their conversations?" "Not yet. We'rrre still gatherrring worrrd sssampless and sssorrrting out the grrrammarr. But it iss coming along." >"I had a meeting with Admiral Kitanya just before coming down here. She >had an interesting suggestion. She thought we could use the holodecks to >try and learn a little bit more about them." Tr'Lawsh looked interested. "Interrressting. What isss yourrr idea?" she asked. "Well, we have two options with this approach. We could use the holodecks to set the felinids in an environment in order to observe their reactions. This would be like placing them in a zoo and trying to learn about them. I am not sure it would be the best option, but it could be helpful. It could also be considered insulting to them individually and culturally." (Tr'Lawsh?)
"We could also use the holodeck to work with them and prove to them that we
are worthy to be considered allies and friends."
