ＤＡＹ２６５ ✯ ＯＰＥＮＶＯＩＣＥ．
I would advise against interacting with the Polygeminus grex that have infiltrated the prison population. They are non-sentient lifeforms from a relatively uninhabited planet in the Beta Quadrant. On their homeworld, their numbers are controlled by a number of natural predatory species they are the primary food source for, but without their being prey, their numbers will expand. Polygeminus grex reproduces asexually; they are born pregnant and can bear an average litter of ten every twelve hours. If they are allowed to persist with uncontrolled breeding patterns, then we will likely have a population well into the thousands by the end of the day — millions by the end of the week.

Seeing as the wardens do not appear to be taking the proper measures needed to control the Polygeminus rex population, risking punishment in an effort to do so ourselves is preferable to not doing anything at all.

	Are you suggesting killing them? [The thought has occurred to her, but she's not a big fan of it. Wiping out fluffy bunny-ish things feels more wrong than right.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes. [ honestly, the human inclination towards things that are furry will forever escape her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Some of it is just an aversion to killing in general, but her blades had plenty of raptor blood on them not so long ago, so maybe it is the mammal thing. Then again the raptors were also all too happy to attack them.]

The wardens made this mess. Just because they haven't announced a plan to clean it up again doesn't mean there isn't one. We aren't at a point where that's necessary. [Yet.]

	[ the idea of killing the tribbles - while incredibly rational, if what seven's saying is true - is also a bit horrifying. seven's blunt rationality about it might even contribute to said horror. ] We're not going to kill them. [ you're kidding right. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ horrifying, but necessary. tribbles are to the klingon homeworld what cockroaches are to earth. ] They are needless pests who do nothing but eat and breed. In a matter of days, they will have 'eaten us out of house and home,' to borrow an antiquated phrase. Exterminating them is the only viable solution. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ elena's not going to argue whether they are pests or not. but. ] I'm sure there are other options. [ besides mass extermination. ] They can be neutered, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sign me up. Things aren't going to be looking good if we're all out of food down here and I'd rather take them out than eat them. [Is there anything but fur in there?] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ finally, someone with a clear, rational head on their shoulders who is looking at the bigger picture. bless you, artemis. ] They would be of poor nutritional value if you did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, sure. That'll be the reason I pass. Not enough vitamins. So, is this a team effort kind of thing? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[ In reference to this thread with Elena here ] I'm all for getting rid of them. I've collected three sackfuls of tribbles and I'm going to drain them of their blood and store it all in the vampire shack for business purposes. Supposing these things have blood? [ Oops. Failed to check first. ] Otherwise I'm all for stomping, burning, whatever works. (Reply to this) (Thread)

[ The feeling is so very much mutual. Except he thinks she's being a little too adorable with wanting to save a bunch of faceless, useless furry creatures. It's so typical of her. ]

I'm not going to kill your nameless furball pet, Elena. But I'm so getting rid of his great great grandpas, great great grandmas, great uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers, sisters, the entire family.

I don't want to, but I have to. [ No, he doesn't. ]

	There is no other option. [ her voice is firm, resolute. she knows these creatures, possesses intimate knowledge of them. they are from her world. why are those who are not insisting on finding alternative ways to handle them instead of trusting her judgement? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Might wanna be careful suggestin' somethin like that. One woman accused me of being cruel for tossing one to her... [Mal honestly doesn't really care.] (Reply to this) (Thread)
