Now, with our improved processes,
:26:02
this barrel contains
over four billion doses.
:26:06
I estimate four billion,
375 million...
:26:10
Thank you, Mr Data.
:26:13
- How long is the dosage effective?
- It varies.
:26:17
But never more than 72 hours.
:26:20
- And then the symptoms return.
- Yes.
:26:23
There is no cure for the plague.
:26:25
But felicium inhibits the sickness
with total efficiency.
:26:29
Allowing the Ornarans
to lead normal lives.
:26:33
An unusual disease.
:26:36
Virulent, extremely persistent,
yet I can't isolate it.
:26:42
The plague has baffled doctors
on both planets for 200 years.
:26:46
We've therefore
concentrated on treatment,
:26:48
finding new ways to improve
the potency and purity of felicium.
:26:53
No doubt you applied technology
from other industries
:26:56
to the refinement of this product.
:26:57
- We have no other industry.
- None at all?
:27:01
We don't need any. The Ornarans
provide us with everything we need
:27:05
in exchange for this.
:27:06
Fascinating.
:27:08
Your society is dedicated to
the production of a single product.
:27:12
For which you have no use but which
the Ornarans cannot live without.
:27:18
One of life's little ironies.
:27:20
But one we'd be fools
not to take advantage of. It's...
:27:24
..mutually beneficial.
:27:25
The Ornarans provide us
with the necessities of life
:27:29
and we provide them
with the necessities of living.
:27:32
It is a fair exchange.
:27:35
- Interesting relationship.
- I'll take that to sickbay.
:27:50
- Can I help?
- No.
