534 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,402 Let's find out. 535 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,728 Like this? 536 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,722 Think of me. 537 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,129 It's an exact reproduction of my hand, right down to the DNA structure. 538 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,725 Doctor, you said that this was formed 539 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,082 from the organic matter taken from the deck plates. 540 00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:21,210 When I infused the matter with a resonance frequency burst, 541 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,124 it activated its DNA. 542 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,930 Then it touched my hand, 543 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,323 and it began to mimic my cellular structure. 544 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,649 Doctor, what exactly is this? 545 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,487 This is going to sound very far-fetched, 546 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,247 but have you ever heard of a coalescent organism? 547 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,487 No. 548 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,324 They're rare microscopic life forms 549 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,484 which need to absorb other organisms in order to survive. 550 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,449 Now, that in itself isn't so unusual, 551 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,287 but coalescents become the organisms they've absorbed, 552 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,283 right down to the cellular level. 553 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,681 Do you think this is what happened with your hand? 554 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,403 There have been reports that these organisms 555 00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,800 can exist on a larger scale. 556 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,970 Certainly what happened to my hand seems to support that theory. 557 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,726 So you're saying that Rocha was killed by one of these organisms? 558 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:07,849 It's possible that something happened to him 559 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,401 before he reported for duty on the relay station. 560 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,730 - I do not understand. - I've checked the records. 561 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,048 Before he was posted to the relay station, 562 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,044 Rocha served on an outpost in the Triona system. 563 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,362 Now, that is a remote sector. 564 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,649 Maybe he was absorbed by a coalescent during that mission. 565 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,962 So, what boarded the station could have been an organism 566 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,930 that looked and acted like Lieutenant Rocha. 567 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,560 How often do they have to change bodies? 568 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,490 The microscopic organisms 569 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,201 have a cycle of no more than five to ten seconds. 570 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,206 We can only assume that a larger, more complex coalescent 571 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,160 would have a cycle of days, even weeks. 572 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,125 Doctor, if what you're saying is true, 573 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,329 then Rocha attacked Lieutenant Uhnari to find a new body. 574 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:52,641 Right. 575 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,481 That means Uhnari is a coalescent. 576 00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,204 Now, there was one other person on the station. Morag. 577 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,604 It is possible he was the one who was absorbed. 578 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,088 Computer, locate Commander Morag and Lieutenant Uhnari. 579 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,442 COMPUTER".
