Re: Peltas Five Space Station
There was a long pause after she mentioned about the Ashrak technology, and the city being used as a base.
"We can make it habitable in short order, that should be easy. Completing our Ashrak counter technology however may take some time still. I will ensure Freya is focused exclusively on that, as it would appear we may need it sooner than we had hoped. If Anubis knows about it, given what intel we have on him so far, it would indicate either the Harcesis child is already mature, or Anubis already has spies amongst the Tokra, or perhaps elsewhere in the alliance. Considering how secret this project was until today, it would seem most likely if there is a spy, they are among us, possibly even now. From what Vartani told us, I would agree with you that Anubis doesn't yet have the means to win, or attempt a battle against Atlantis. If he did, he most likely would have tested his weapons and shields against it's defenses earlier. As for this disease, we may have a temporary solution, but we will of course review what you have sent us. We have devised a serum known as Tretonin. It is derived from the blood of a symbiote. In theory, it could be used to temporarily boost the immune systems of those infected with similar healing abilities to a symbiote, but they wouldn't last for more than a few days a dose. It was originally to be used for those who had been a host, who's immune systems were destroyed beyond the repair of even a ribbon device. As you know, the Tokra do not use the Sacrophagi ourselves, and even if we did, sometimes the damage done is beyond even it's abilities to regenerate. Tretonin however would act as a synthetic immune system for those in need of it, and has already shown results. I believe an apt description would be to compare it to medication from your own world, the kind that you are dependent on to regulate areas of your body that do not function properly. Of course, we can't go around making the entire galaxy dependent on it, which is why it would only be temporary. If used too much, the normal immune system might shut down, making them dependent on Tretonin to survive. I believe we may be able to come up with a variant that could last a few weeks, at least long enough to hopefully find a permanent solution."
