Dialogue Usage
Sometimes you can use your Xenobiologist background in conversation:


 * The projected effectiveness of the pathogen clearly favored that solution.
 * We can prove that removal of the apex predators would have only temporarily disrupted the nearby ecosystem.
 * This place has been marked by a predator. It won't stop.
 * The things we do for field research...
 * The rare extremophile that was left in a dark box for twenty years...
 * The pathogen was obviously the most effective vector for addressing the problem.
 * Less risk using an existing organism than making a new one. The Aceles is the wiser choice.
 * You're obstructing vital xenobiological research. I don't expect you to understand, but this information is vitally important.
 * Many alien parasites feed on wood and other plant life. Some of these species are native to Jemison. Could they be the cause of the tree's liquefaction?
 * I believe there was a journal article describing the Terrormorph attacks there. A real loss.
 * An anomalous Terrormorph sample. Specimen was found on Tau Ceti II.
 * Yes. Doing nothing with even the limited knowledge we have would be irresponsible.
 * A standard Terrormorph never should've been on Tau Ceti. We could be facing a true threat here.
 * Terrormorphs are a top rung of the food chain. Tell me they were manufacturing heavy weapons here.
