(( USS Constitution-B – Stellar cartography ))
The tension was rising the more they were without contact with the away teams and Mingxing felt a bit responsible for that since it was his ask to provide technological expertise and solutions.
Shimisi: Maybe if we extend our shields to the maximum of their range, we could be able to make them get readings further. If we increase the range, the radiation should drop on the source of our sensors and tractor beam emitters, that should help, at least a bit, right?
So'Mior: Your theory is sound, Sir. It has a reasonably probably of being efficacious.
Mingxing considered the choosing of words and efficacious wasn't one he use to hear. The fact that he said probably let a hint of doubt linger in the air.
Shimisi: If I'm not wrong, Gamma radiation comes from the protons after the particle is spliced by whatever it hits the particle. Knowing that,... and since Ba'el on the bridge is working on a way to get a sample, with that sample of the nebula, can we determine its signature and stablish a pattern that we can either filter, or counter with our own resources to cut through the interference it creates?
So'Mior: With a sample we will be able to discern far more information, yes. There are subatomic markers left by particle splicing which we can use to eliminate energy sources and provide information on likely sources.
Shimisi: So, we'll do good to get the sample's analysis to know what we're dealing with and find a counter against it?
So’Mior: There is always the possibility that whatever caused this has not yet been encountered.
Shimisi: Yes, of course... that's something exciting, but I'll prefer to enjoy the discovery once we make sure our people is okay. Any suggestion to deal with the sample once it's collected?
So’Mior: We can set up containment in this stellar cartography lab, which will fall well above safety standards for that type of sample.
Shimisi: You'll be the expert on that regard. You set up the environment and any forcefield you might need. You better get what we have on this and similar nebulas to compare with our sample.
He nodded and started to dive back into his work.
So’Mior: Certainly, Sir. I am going to compile the data we already have against our databases amd prepare to take more scans once we have completed our maneuvers.
Shimisi: I'll inform the bridge. :: He tapped the comm channel :: =/\= Shimisi to the bridge =/\=
Bridge: Response
Shimisi =/\= We've determined that the Stellar Cartography lab would be the best place to examine the sample you get. So'Mior is compiling data and will examine the sample once we get it. =/\=
Bridge: Response
Shimisi: =/\= I'll help him to set up the lab, just give us a warning when you have the sample.
Bridge/So'Mior: Response
