(( Engineering, New Hope ))
He let the others as he received the call from the Artemis.
Vitor nodded even knowing that Alex and Commander Munro couldn’t see him.
Silveira: =/\= Well, with the help of one of our DOTs are repairing the Theta radiation leak. It’s something to do with their accelerators, or generators. Once he isn’t busy I can have Ensign Tho’Bi sending you the details. We also recovered the damaged parts and are analysing it.
There are signs of a potential sabotage. Also, Ensign Cole found out some of the lighting system interferes with our physiology.
Storm: =/\= Really? That’s … significant=/\=
Munro: =/\= Yes :: beat :: The Yurum are particularly sensitive to touch telepathy as well. Or at least Lt Storm was =/\=
Vitor shook his head, aside from the sabotage and he was inclined to believe in Cole’s theory that it was likely meant to leave a trail instead of damage. The other issue was just one of those First Contact flukes.
Silveira: =/\= It affects us differently than it does the Boraxians. There are some side effects but I don’t think it's dangerous unless we spend an abnormal amount of time here.
I asked Ensign Cole to collect her findings and send it back.
I suggest informing the other away team.
Munro: =/\= Noted. Do you have any idea who may have sabotaged the ship and why? =/\=
Storm: =/\= It might help us as we prepare for the likelihood of a city ship descending on us. =/\=
Vitor tipped his head sideways and rubbed his neck.
Silveira: =/\= My gut feeling says that Ensign Cole has the right theory about that. I believe the damage, if deliberate, was meant to make New Hope traceable or at least easily detected.
Munro: =/\= I was hoping for some good news. Commander please continue with those repairs and return to the Artemis as soon as they are complete. =/\=
Storm: =/\= Time to start assuming this city ship will show up sooner rather than later.=/\=
Vitor rubbed his eyes. The headache was getting worse, but he had a feeling it was also due to the stress. For his first team lead after his promotion it could have gone better.
Silveira: =/\= Understood Captain. Silveira out.=/\=
He walked slowly back to the others and Tho’Bi was waiting for him.
Tho'Bi: ::to Silveira:: Sir, the DOT has completed the repair work of the transceiver and has returned to Artemis. ::nods in direction of the subchamber below warp core:: We need only now purge the Warp Core Waste Storage Tanks ::beat:: and the Theta-Band Radiation problem should be resolved.
Dariell: And we are glad for your help, and giving the praise to your Engineer, Tho’Bi.
Vitor smiled at Dariell and nodded to Tho’Bi.
Silveira: Good, let’s proceed, we are to return as soon as we are finished with the repairs. ::He turned to Cole and pointed to the wreckage parts that Tho’Bi had beamed aboard:: Ensing Cole, scan what you can of these.
Cole: Response
Tho'Bi: ::holding up Tricorder:: The damaged Accelerator Generators show signs of harmonic detuning and phase inversion. ::beat:: This caused the Theta-Band Radiation to leak back into the supply line.
Silveira: And have you found out how that happened?
Cole: Response
Tho'Bi: A combination of quench footprints and dielectric carbonization indicates a build up of Theta-band Radiation four times that of normal. ::beat:: in simple terms, the system was overloaded ::beat:: either through technical error, accident, or sabotage.
Vitor nodded.
Silveira: Okay… What’s the next step?
Cole: Response
Tho'Bi: ::to Silveira:: I recommend we purge the Warp Core Waste Storage Tanks immediately.
Dariell: Yes, as your engineer said, sooner we purge them, sooner things become better.
Vitor nodded and turned to Tho’Bi.
Silveira: Let’s get to it then.
Cole: Response
Dariell smiled and pointed to the door from the Engineering.
Dariell: Thank you for your continuous help, Lieutenant Commander. We can move and finish the repair in the subchamber.
Vitor shrugged. There was always something. He turned to Tho’Bi.
Silveira: Let’s do this quickly, I want us back on the Artemis as fast as we can.
Tho’Bi/Cole: Response
Vitor tipped his head for the team to move, staying slightly behind himself.
oO I just hope this doesn’t take long… Oo
