Ensign S'jenes - Shipwide
James hassell
S'Jenes made his way through the corridors toward engineering, reviewing the sensor logs from Deck 4 as he walked. The data was still incomplete, but the repeating variance was becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss as coincidence.
Upon reaching engineering, he found Lieutenant Shimisi stationed near the only unsecured entrance. The engineer's attention remained fixed on the corridor until he recognized the approaching science officer.
The door opened and S'Jenes stepped through. A moment later it sealed behind him.
Shimisi: Have you seen any boarder on your way here?
S'Jenes: Negative. I observed no signs of intrusion during transit.
Shimisi: Okay, what do you have?
Without preamble, S'Jenes transferred the collected sensor data to a nearby display.
S'Jenes: We established communication with one of the apparitions. Lieutenant Junior Grade Barb Byrnes, communications officer of the Icarus.
The sensor logs appeared on the engineering console.
S'Jenes: Based on the exchange, we now believe the apparitions are phase-shifted survivors rather than residual energy phenomena. Byrnes reported approximately forty surviving crewmembers occupying the same state.
He enlarged a section of the telemetry, highlighting a repeating waveform.
S'Jenes: During the stabilization attempt, the phase variance exhibited a primary resonance frequency of approximately 4.73 terahertz, with a secondary harmonic at 9.46 terahertz.
Another graph appeared beside it.
S'Jenes: The differential is not static. It oscillates around those frequencies, producing brief periods of increased coherence. We believe those intervals correspond to the moments during which communication becomes possible.. consider it like two communicators, but one is tuned to one frequency and the other is stuck in a "search mode" of sorts. I believe with these numbers in mind, we can create something together that will lock the frequency on their end to ours.
Shimisi: Dr. Aurdax managed to get in contact with someone from the Icarus. You can try to confirm your theory with them and then we’ll see to implement it with the power we have or try to get some more without activating the hyperwarp.
S'Jenes: That would be useful. If multiple survivors exhibit the same resonance frequencies and phase characteristics, it would strengthen the hypothesis considerably.
Aurdax: Response
Perax: Response
Shimisi: Seems that the system is modified to activate the hyperwarp when reaching a certain energy limit.
S'Jenes studied the engineering data for several moments.
S'Jenes: Then any solution requiring a substantial increase in power output carries obvious risks.
He brought up the variance model from his tricorder.
S'Jenes: Fortunately, increasing power may not be necessary.
Aurdax/Perax: Response
Zheng/L'Tang/Atwi: Response
S'Jenes: The tricorders succeeded despite being poorly suited for the task. The problem was not insufficient output. The problem was inefficiency.
He highlighted the 4.73 THz waveform.
S'Jenes: We attempted to maintain synchronization continuously. If we instead tune a field to the resonance frequency and activate it only during peak alignment, energy requirements should decrease significantly.
Aurdax/Perax: Response
S'Jenes: In theory, a field synchronized to 4.73 terahertz could reinforce the survivors' phase state during periods of natural coherence. Repeated reinforcement may allow us to gradually reduce the phase differential rather than forcing a full reintegration at once.
He glanced between the engineering officers.
S'Jenes: If that proves successful, the same principle could potentially be scaled to a permanent shipwide solution.
Aurdax/Perax: Response
S'Jenes transferred the complete telemetry package to the engineering systems and stepped back from the primary display. The science was straightforward enough. The implementation was another matter entirely.
Shimisi: Response
Perax: Response
The engineering officers began examining the data from their own perspectives. S'Jenes watched as various schematics appeared alongside the resonance readings.
Aurdax: Response
S'Jenes: The full sensor logs from Lieutenant Byrnes are included. If there are additional variables you wish analyzed, I can update the model.
Perax: Response
Shimisi: Response
S'Jenes remained silent as the discussion shifted toward field generation, power distribution, and the limitations imposed by the hyperwarp system.
Most of those concerns fell outside his expertise.
Zheng/L'Tang/Atwi: Response
Aurdax: Response
S'Jenes monitored the engineering displays while the others worked.
Eventually something caught his attention.
S'Jenes: One observation.
Shimisi/Perax: Response
S'Jenes indicated a section of the variance graph.
S'Jenes: The resonance appears stable. The duration of coherence changes, but the frequency itself remains remarkably consistent.
Perax: Response
Aurdax: Response
S'Jenes: If that consistency persists, it should simplify synchronization considerably.
Shimisi: Response
Zheng/L'Tang/Atwi: Response
The science officer folded his hands behind his back and returned to reviewing the data.
Occasionally he forwarded information to the engineering stations as new oscillations occurred.
Aurdax/Perax: Response
S'Jenes: Lieutenant Byrnes also reported that the phase-shifted personnel remained conscious following the hyperwarp event. If your contacts report similar experiences, it may help establish a more complete timeline.
Aurdax: Response
Shimisi: Response
Another simulation completed on S'Jenes' tricorder.
He glanced over the results and forwarded them to the nearest console.
S'Jenes: Updated variance projections.
Perax: Response
Zheng/L'Tang/Atwi: Response
For several moments the only sounds in engineering were the hum of equipment and the occasional chirp of consoles as everyone worked their respective portions of the problem.
S'Jenes continued refining the resonance model while the engineers explored methods of turning the theory into something practical.
