Jackson, I wasn't just making it up. I think I can actually do that. I learned genetic alteration in University. We used salamander DNA to regrow limbs on rats and birds. It's the same basic thing.”
    “If you think you can do that, then you have my blessing. Just be quick about it,” Jason said. 
    “I agree,” Lars said. “We have been looking for a new home for a long time and we have lost a lot of good friends on landings. If we can stop sacrificing lives, then I support Cassie.”
    “I support her too,” Jennifer chimed in.
    “Well, if Mom is behind this madness then I guess I am too,” Jack said reluctantly.
    Cassie felt proud her new coworkers would hold so much faith in her. She was nervous Dahl would be sent home to be killed by the aliens who had invaded his planet, but she felt happy now knowing she had saved his life and may be able to save countless more lives and allow everyone on Solaris to have a new home.
    “Let me show you two to the lab,” Jennifer offered.
    “Right, everyone else let's get to work. Nobody is going home anytime soon, so let's get some living quarters set up,” Jason ordered.
    Jennifer, Cassie and Dahl walked across the hangar toward a set of double doors across from the briefing room Cassie had been in this morning. The rest of the Landers branched out to different areas looking for things to use to build a make-shift home for the foreseeable future.
                  “I assume you know how to use all of this,” Jennifer said once they entered the lab.
    “Yes I do,” Cassie said. She was amazed at the quality of equipment in her new lab. Every machine she could ever have dreamed of having or needing was in this room and all of it seemed to be in pristine condition. Her lab at the University had not been this well-equipped. “This is amazing,” she said looking around.
    “Good. I'll be more than happy to help you if you need an extra pair of hands. In the meantime, I'm going to help the boys. I don't trust them to make my room up to a lady's standards,” Jennifer joked walking back out the door.
    Cassie barely noticed her leaving as she walked around the lab, familiarizing herself with the layout. Once she had an idea of where everything was, she turned her attention to Dahl. “Alright, let's get started. Come take a seat here on the examination table. I need to run a few tests.”
    Dahl climbed up on to the examination table and laid down flat on his back. 
    “I need you to change to your natural form, Dahl. I need to examine your body in its basic form otherwise all my tests are going to be corrupted,” Cassie explained.
    “Of course,” Dahl said in agreement. In an instant, he transformed his human body back to its natural state. 
    Cassie was amazed by what she saw. Even in his natural form, Dahl was very human-like. He had a human head, two legs, two arms, all the basic markers. The biggest difference was Dahl was completely blue. From his bald head to his toes, he was navy blue in fact. He was also completely naked, to Cassie's shock. She had seen naked men before during her medical training, but she had never seen a naked alien before. He had a muscular build and was completely hairless. Cassie was actually impressed and excited by his appearance.
    “Is this better?” Dahl asked her.
    “Yes, much better,” Cassie said trying to swallow past the lump in her throat. “I just need to check your vital signs, then I need some fluid samples to extract your genetic code.”
    As Cassie did her tests, Dahl asked “what happens to me when you are finished? Once I no longer serve a purpose, your leader will send me back to my death?”
    “I don't know. At least this buys us some time. Maybe Captain Jackson will change his mind and let you stay once he sees you aren't a threat,” Cassie said drawing blood from Dahl's muscular arm. 
    Once she finished her exams and taken fluid and tissue samples, Cassie inserted the samples into various machines
