Rene hoped, with an eye back at Bossuet, that for Courfeyrac's sake? Bossuet was absolutely correct about their CMO's abilities. Not that he doubted them.
Now, there were a number of solutions, in Combeferre's opinion, for the problem Cosette's mind had presented. Endless solutions, in fact, since they didn't really understand what the problem was. Why would they need to produce so much heat? To balance out particularly frigid evenings. To foster a plant type specific to their eating habits, that only thrived in incredibly tropic locations. To break down plant membrane, to get to their real food source. To destroy plant life, introduced as a catalyst. To give off mating pheromones. To dissuade predators. Endless answers. They just weren't sure which question to be asking yet.
"Lieutenant? Good. I'm ordering a beam-aboard in ten minutes. Turns out the life here is not especially friendly to our own continued existence. Gather as much as you can, as quickly as you can, in those ten minutes. Copy?"
