"That I would, General. As I understand it you and your people have
had an opertunity to review the initial survey report, and you've found
some disappointing results of your own. Shall we start there?"
"If you wish. Our report screened for toxins known to the Venasian
physiology. The report found low levels of lapizine in several of the
planetary bodies of water. While not immediately fatal to Venasians,
extended exposure would result in increased numbers of birth defects,
muscular and systemic degeneration, and eventually death. We would have
seen an epidemic within a Cycle. Why this was missed in the FEderation
survey, I am not sure, but we are relieved to have caught it before any
further negotiation took place."
