Previously on the USS Pandora:

The Pandora has begun its journey back to New Frontier Station and has been underway for about three hours. The various departments are going through the data exchanged with the ch'Tan, their new ally in the sector.

Let us rejoin the action as that is underway.

Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
::sitting in Command Chair::
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::On the Bridge, going over her data trying to write up a report.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::on the Bridge, pacing and enjoying himself with the impressive design of the new ship::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: at the helm monitoring the ship's course and speed ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::In sensor pod, implementing the adjustments to the scanners towards the iota band, noting the scanning parameters "ch'Tan Primary".::
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
:: walking out of his quarters :: TL: Bridge
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:; turns slightly :: SCD: Sir, we'll reach the station in about 20 hours at our present speed.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::sitting in her office in Engineering, going through reports::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Closes sensor alignment access door, then stands up and grabs tools.:: Self: That might help some, but I don't think it's going to do what I want it to.
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
::On the Bridge monitoring tactical sensors::
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
:: walk onto the Bridge::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::continues to organize the information to share with the ch'Tan::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Starts climbing back to the primary hull through the access tubes.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the FCO reporting the ETA to the Station::
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
SCD: Any news Commander?
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
XO: Chair is yours, Commander. We're on course and set to arrive at the station in about 20 hours. ::rises to vacate the chair::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, do you have a few minutes? I have a project I want to set up, and I think it will require a more sound background in actually making stuff work than I have.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
*CSO*: Sounds interesting, go ahead. ::turns away from the report::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
*CEO*: Can I meet up with you? Easier to do most of this kind of discussion face to face, unless you're tied up with something.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
*CSO*: If you need a quiet spot, I'm in my office. Unless there is another location you had in mind?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
*CEO*: That's fine, thanks. I'll be there shortly. ::Finds her way to a turbolift and heads to Main Engineering.::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::finishes gathering the data and submits it to operations to send::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks into Main Engineering, then across it to the Chief's office. Knocks on door.::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: checks a report and adjusts a panel indicator ::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::leaves her office for main sickbay::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::walks towards the center of the room and discretely observes the crew manning the ship::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CSO: It's always open. Come on in.
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Just stares at her screen, trying to make heads or tails over this whole thing::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Steps in.:: CEO: Thanks. Just didn't want to intrude, especially when I've come to ask for assistance. ::Smiles.:: I've been working on how to better scan the ch'Tan and th'Alcair vessels, and I think I have an idea on hot to make it work.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
SCD: Many interesting things to include in your report to Starfleet Command, right Commander?
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CSO: That sounds interesting. ::leans back in her seat after motioning to the empty chair across from her:: What are you thinking?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: Well, the issue with the ships is their hull design, with a bit of help from their material. It's a surface of almost scale like design, like on a lizard or fish. Problem is the old angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. Whatever path the scans take in, part of them is reflected. Like bouncing a ball hard into a small room.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: We need a way to focus it. To keep the ball coming back. I was thinking we could wrap the sensor in a graviton field to keep it intact.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
XO: Yes Sir. ::grins::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::frowns:: CSO: I see the idea but we would have to be really close to get a field that size intact. Unless you had something else in mind?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: Fairly close, yes. It would work kind of like the way phasers get wrapped in a Warp field to allow limited use at Warp velocities. We'd need to set up a small tractor beam like emitter to jacket the sensor beam. But then I thought we might actually take it a step further, using th'Alcair ideas.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: What if we used anti-graviton fields? Then it might help us against a cloaked vessel, literally destroy part of it's cloaking field, just enough to scan through.
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Thinks for a moment, then pulls up Starfleet Regulations and starts scrolling through it::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: stops and makes a notation ::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::sorts through and makes a list of items that their new allies could benefit from... adds items to a growing list of supplies::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::thinks hard for a moment:: CSO: Wouldn't that immediately put the other ship on the offensive? I mean, if I was cloaked and part of the cloak suddenly fell apart, I'd be ticked and come out fighting.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: Hmm, I didn't think about that. Maybe keep the anti-gravitons as a plan B until the Captain can give input. But the graviton field should work for maintaining scan integrity, right?
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CSO: It could work. If you would be willing to write details as to what you are thinking, I'll run through it from my POV. Perhaps we can put specs together and approach the Captain with the idea.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::finishes her list and submits it operations::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Commander, I will be at my quarters, doing some paperwork. Permission to leave Bridge. ::nods::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: Excellent. One of my instructors at the Academy told me once that I'm way too "theory" and way too little "application". And already you showed this could make a good team, you found the right "wrong question" to ask about my anti graviton beam.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
SC: Of course captain, we will call you if anything interesting happens
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Sir. ::heads to the turbolift doors::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: turns to see Captain Marek leaving ::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CSO: It always feels good to be of use, Lieutenant.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the Turbolift and directs it to the living quarters deck::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::leaves sickbay to one of the other medical officers and heads for the nearest lift.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: Lieutenant, if a Chief Engineer's use is limited to being a sounding board, then she must be assigned to a non-operational post. But I'll get you a few more details so we can approach the Captain. Basically need to figure out how many sensor pallets would be set up like this.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
XO: I'm headed to my quarters, Commander. I've been up for 22 hours now and I am about done.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CSO: Never worry about being too much theory. If people didn't dream, we wouldn't have everything we have now.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CSO: You get me your ideas; I'll put the mechanics to it. ::smiles::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::arrives at his quarters and goes directly to his desk::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: That sounds like a dangerous offer from you. ::Laughs.:: Thanks.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
SCD: Then you are relieved Commander
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
XO: Thanks, Sir. ::heads for turbolift::
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Sighs quietly to herself and signs off of her console before turning around in her chair and just staring out through the viewscreen::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: I'm going to head off and see if my teams have made any headway in the labs. Lots of data to sort through and most of my data analysis experts are "en route".
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::takes the lift to the lounge and finds a quiet table near the viewport::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CSO: Sounds good. I'm still trying to sort through what we got on our visit. If you will have somebody send me anything that caught your attention, it may help me advance the idea into a working model.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CEO: Of course. It's my job to find the information and then get it into the hands of those most qualified to use it anyway. I'll talk to you soon enough I'm sure.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: sits back in her chair and starts wondering if neural interface flying would work for the Pandora ::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::stands to walk the CSO to the door:: CSO: I hope so. You have my mind really rolling now.
