3rd POV

Boimler: All right. That new power relay should keep your energy barrier up for at least a year.

Boimler, T'lyn, YN, and Mariner are at the outpost in a planet where they're placing a new power relay.

Scientist: Thank you. We still have much to learn here.

T'lyn: What is the area of your research?

Scientist: The most fascinating creature on Persioff 9: the venomous tremble lizards.

Boimler: How venomous we talking?

Scientist: Their skin's drenched in neurotoxin, and their blood is a corrosive acid

Scientist: Their skin's drenched in neurotoxin, and their blood is a corrosive acid. Oh, and if you touch them, your eyes shoot out of your head!

Boimler: Whoa! (Nervous chuckles.) Well, we don't want that.

Mariner: You know, if you served in Starfleet, you'd get to study a new alien every other week and not just, like, one creepy creature.

Scientist: I'm in an academic romance with the tremble lizards. They are my passion.

Suddenly the fences were cut off by the reptiles destroying the wires.

Scientist: (Gasp.) The fence. Oh, no! Those monsters are going to f-cking kill us all!

Mariner: What? I thought you loved them.

Scientist: Only when the fence is up.

YN: Wow...

Boimler: Uh, okay, everybody, just stay calm. We're gonna have to put on our antivenom suits.

They get their antivenom suits but Mariner runs off.

Mariner: I've got this.

YN: Mariner, what are you doing!?

Boimler: Get back here and put on a venom suit! At least the pants.

Mariner runs outside without the suit and draws all the lizards attention to get them out of the fences.

Scientist: My word, she must love outpost scientists.
