S'Jenes: For the purposes of our contact...we may only need three more tricorders. The concept is: We run them in a staggered series. Since tricorders have an emitter, a sensor, and an analyzer... a single tricorder should be capable of generating both the dampening field and the synchronized electromagnetic signal, provided the output is properly sequenced.

Ba'el: ::Arches an eyebrow:: Oh, is that all?

S'Jenes: =/\=Ensign S'jenes to Felbri on Aleek-Om, Please transport three tricorders to my coordinates, we may be on to something =/\=

T'Seva: So, what's the details?

S'Jenes: We would each have a tricorder, each tricorder would be set to discharge the electromagnetic waves needed for synchronization. Each one would also reroute the sensor to avoid telerons, making the dampening field and waves come from a single device. If staggered, I use mine for 30 seconds, then before overload, you use yours, then T'Seva... all in a looping formation, we may be able to maintain a decent two to three minute window of communication.

Ba'el: That sounds promising.

T'Seva: I will send the morse code while you set them up.

A moment later, three new tricorders appeared via transport beam. S'Jenes immediately got to work, Ba'el assisting where she could, while T'Seva went back to communicating with the Icarus crewmembers using morse code.

T'Seva: << Trying again to bring you into phase. >>

S'jenes: Tricorders are set. Ready for the staggered attempt whenever you are.

Ba'el moved to the position S'Jenes had indicated. After quickly familiarizing herself with the changes to the tricorder, she nodded in readiness.

Ba'el: I am ready to proceed on your word.

T'Seva: Ready.

They activated the tricorders, and almost immediately Byrnes started to come back into view. Lieutenant Byrnes seemed to be holding up well under the circumstance from what Ba'el saw. Though, she might have had her meltdowns when she was out of phase and out of site. Ba'el hoped to talk to her soon to try and get a feel of her mental state.

Ba'el: It seems to be working!

S'Jenes: Respond

T'Seva: Respond

Byrnes: Respond

Ba'el couldn't quite make out what Byrnes was saying. And she didn't think that the other woman would hear her with her helmet on. Ba'el made a snap decision, she unsealed and removed her helmet. The air was stale, but breathable, Anything else would just have to fight her Klingon physiology.

T'Seva: Respond

S'Jenes: Respond

Ba'el: Can you understand me Lt. Byrnes?

Byrnes: Respond

Ba'el: I am Lt. Ba'el ::Gestures to the others:: These are Lt. Commander T'Seva, and Ensign S'Jenes. We are here to try and help you.

Byrnes: Respond

T'Seva: Respond

S'Jenes: Respond
