Moss is not a compound

Pedantic I know but court Trekkies and you get nerds. :p
There's a flavour text in voyages:
We found a mosslike compound growing on an asteroid despite the vacuum of space. <crew member> is studying its molecular structure.
I believe the phrase you meant was "moss-like organism", even a simple DNA pairing is made up of multiple compounds.

compound versus organism

    You thought that was a mistake?

    It’s referring to a rarely-seen compound (building) that was built by Bajoran contractors who were using an organic, moss-like material. The contractors stopped working on it because of the smell and left it lying around in space. Because of the lack of upkeep, the compound looks like growing moss.

    Your crew is actually studying the building (compound), because of the amazingly intricate construction work. There’s even heated floors and a bidet.

    So you see, the flavor text WAS right! ;-)

    You mean DB’s compound.

    Well now you're just compounding the problem.


    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.
