this barrel contains
over four billion doses.
:26:05
I estimate four billion,
375 million...
:26:09
Thank you, Mr Data.
:26:12
- How long is the dosage effective?
- It varies.
:26:16
But never more than 72 hours.
:26:19
- And then the symptoms return.
- Yes.
:26:22
There is no cure for the plague.
:26:24
But felicium inhibits the sickness
with total efficiency.
:26:28
Allowing the Ornarans
to lead normal lives.
:26:32
An unusual disease.
:26:35
Virulent, extremely persistent,
yet I can't isolate it.
:26:41
The plague has baffled doctors
on both planets for 200 years.
:26:45
We've therefore
concentrated on treatment,
:26:47
finding new ways to improve
the potency and purity of felicium.
:26:52
No doubt you applied technology
from other industries
:26:55
to the refinement of this product.
:26:57
- We have no other industry.
- None at all?
:27:00
We don't need any. The Ornarans
provide us with everything we need
:27:04
in exchange for this.
:27:05
Fascinating.
:27:07
Your society is dedicated to
the production of a single product.
:27:11
For which you have no use but which
the Ornarans cannot live without.
:27:17
One of life's little ironies.
:27:19
But one we'd be fools
not to take advantage of. It's...
:27:23
..mutually beneficial.
:27:24
The Ornarans provide us
with the necessities of life
:27:28
and we provide them
with the necessities of living.
:27:31
It is a fair exchange.
:27:34
- Interesting relationship.
- I'll take that to sickbay.
:27:49
- Can I help?
- No.
