Our analysis indicates – the high level of radiation needed to protect us from the indigenous bacteria of this planet causes our metabolisms to heat to dangerous levels.
Our scientists seem to have a firm grasp on the obvious. Tell us something we don't already know!
Isn't there anything you can do to disperse the heat?
We are doing our best, Advocate. As you have seen, the treatments are slowing the degeneration process.
But not reversing it.
Unfortunately not. This planet's natural resources contain different elements than those on our planet.
The lower classes are all alike. Excuses for every shortcoming!
But Advocate, it takes time for a species to adapt to a new environment.
We don't have time! In our weakened state, our invasion will fail.
As it is, we are already too weak to separate from this decaying flesh.
Perhaps if you sought the guidance of the Council...
No! Our leaders must be protected from such negative news. They must hear only of victory!
Since your medicines have proven inadequate, you will find a more effective method of dealing with this killing heat.
Solutions, not excuses!
As you wish, Advocate.
As we order, scientist!
