Lt. Shimisi: This is what sandbox are for.
Kelrod Dickens
( USS ICARUS – Deck 5 – Engineering )
Engineering should have been something they could handle pretty easy, but those old systems were proving to be more complicated to deal with than what logic would assume. He wasn't stranger to malfunctions and systems acting up, but the whole gravity thing made him uneasy.
Shimisi: Everything seems to be shut off from the engine room out, I believe we have our sandbox to start playing with the systems in a safe way, at least for the rest of the ship.
Perax: I’m slowly increasing pulse strength
Leran worked on it while he controlled the rate systems were getting energy, the room lights cam on but unstable. Some of the consoles seemed to be willing to get on, but couldn't hold up.
Aurdax: Response
Shimisi: What did you get from that log padd?
Aurdax: Response
Shimisi: Does that help us to stabilize power through the systems?
Perax: I just thought of something, could we use Trellium? Assuming we could find some nearby or synthesize it, we could insulate the power systems from some anomalies.
Mingxing looked at Leran and thought about what he's talking about. There were records of the first years of Starfleet deep space exploration where there was a zone named Delphic expans that torn space in an attempt by an alien species to get into this universe. They used a special type of Trellium to avoid the anomalies affecting the ship and the people, but if he remembers correctly, it could have negative effects on their Vulcan comrades. Besides, they'll need time and a dedicated place to synthetize it and he doubted they had the time to do so in the Aleex-Om.
He gave Leran a negative wave of his head, that his helmet made it even more obvious.
Aurdax: Response
Shimisi: Any information about what could have happened to the crew? Or their remains?
Aurdax: Response
Shimisi: If we can get a stable power flux, we'll try the outgoing conduits one at a time. We'll focus on auxiliary systems first, this way if something goes wrong, it won't have serious consequences. Once we can make them work properly, we'll scale up to higher systems.
Perax: I’m working on it. I’m on the sixth pulse. It’s slow going. It’s going faster now that the sandbox is in place, but it will still be a few minutes.
Shimisi: =/\= Shimisi to Jalana =/\=
Rajel: Response
Shimsi: =/\= We've shut off all energy conduits from engineering outside. We'll start checking auxiliary systems first one by one to ascertain their stability and safety. Dr. Aurdax warned us that being an experimental system, we might find residual effects like weird energy packets or exotic energy that could explain why systems acted up strangely. =/\=
Rajel: Response
Yirah/McCray: Response
Shimisi: =/\= We're doing our best, but if the doctor is right, exotic energy is unpredictable,... but we'll try to predict it. I'll inform you of our progress. =/\=
Jalana/Yirah/McCray: Response
Perax: As soon as we get full ship wide power back, I recommend that the first system we try to get back online is internal sensors. I’d like to see how many escape pods have launched. If they are here, the crew should be here. If some or all are missing, then we can presume that the crew abandoned ship even if the logs don’t mention it.
Shimisi: Good idea. :: To the comm channel :: =/\= When we get stable power here, we'll go with illumination first, If that works, we'll move forward, Is that okay with you? =/\=
Jalana: Response
Aurdax: response
Perax: =/\= I don’t know about the tribbles. ::he shrugged and gave a thoughtful look:: My little grey cells, have a hunch that the tribbles don’t fit in to this, a red Salmon, if you will. =/\=
Jalana/Yirah/McCray: Response
Aurdax: response
Perax: Tribbles are a nuisance, but they don’t eat circuitry or get into completely closed systems. They do very little except eat too much and take up space.
Jalana/Yirah/McCray: Response (if still listening)
Shimisi: I was only aware that they eat quadrotriticale but I agree they shouldn't be able to eat dircuitry or anything of importance to the ship's systems.
Aurdax: response
Perax: I’ve mapped about twenty-one percent of the power connections. So far, they are all in perfect condition.
Shimisi: When I shut off the external lines I didn't saw anything abnormal, so I tend to think that there's no real problem with the systems themselves. Maybe the problem with the hyperwarp ended when it went off and we're experiencing residual effects.
Aurdax: response
Shimisi: We're going at a good pace, everything is controlled for the moment so let's keep it that way. Doctor, once we get this consoles working, would you try to get the info about the ship's crew and the last system data and transmit it to the other away team crew. I want them to know what happened as soon as possible. It could help them in their investigation.
