"Moderately. Not much to be done from here, though." Caitlin responds, not looking up from her work. Vlado she left alone, trusting the medic to handle his own work without oversight.
Preliminary experiments with adapting the flight suit to Pan Kor physiology were having more difficulties than she expected. The aliens really were surprisingly resilient, right down to the most basic level. The samples she had taken were resisting the adaptations she needed to make to allow for a proper interface between suit and wearer. Hmm... maybe she was looking at it the wrong way...
Clearing her current test, she started a fresh one, aiming to leave the Pan Kor half as it was, and adapting the suit material to be less obtrusive, in the hopes of the link being accepted on an easier basis. She was confident that once she found a way to maintain the link, the changes made could be confined to some sort of intermediary organ, and the rest of the suit would need minimal change to work as it normally did.
She had the first change 'brewing' in a small sample of suit material in short order, and with some time to wait on that, her mind moved to one of the other projects on her plate, the matter of Draven's viruses. Without an actual sample to work on, there was less she could do, but given how he impressed on her the volatile nature of the strand, perhaps that was for the best.
She had two goals with the examination, both rather difficult. Find a cure or prevention to the human-targetted virus, and find a way to make the Nnyarthall-targetted virus ignore Telarin, or to make Telarin immune to it. There were dozens of places to start, but Caitlin figured that reading the Ingrali's research notes would be the best bet, save her plenty of time on trial and error figuring how the strand was designed. She looked specifically for the parts related to transmission first, then the effects themselves.
