* BrokenSystemDogmatist: Dr. Crusher tries to explain that the shielding and machinery that they have used is what is poisoning their people and causing their culture to stagnate and die off. Radue does not believe her, claiming that their scientists would have told them of any problems ...except their scientists have basically forgotten how everything works on their planet, after centuries of neglect and apathy towards their predecessors' technology.

Eventually, Radue and the rest of the Aldeans are forced to realize that they are indeed being affected.
