Lt. Cmdr Thelan Valeris - Crossing Wires

[tas9303]

((SDA Control Room, USS Khitomer))

Thelan watched the power levels to the capacitors of the SDA with a furrowed brow. He still would have preferred to have the system tied into it's own reactor or have batteries for energy storage, but he had to work with what was there. With repairs happening all over the Khitomer, He had felt that his energy was better placed in getting the specialized defense system back up and going at peak efficiency. Whatever that was.

He tapped at the console a couple times to adjust power flow from the recently patched up pathways and waited. Progress was still slow going. But it was getting somewhere.

Michaels: =/\= Michaels to Commander Valeris. I am leaving Engineering to assist Ensign Prix with a repair to shuttlecraft Ozark. =/\=

Thelan looked down at his PADD, seeing the duty roster for the day and nodding. He knew she couldn't see it, but the motion made him feel better.

Valeris: =/\= Alright, Lieutenant. Any ETA on the repair? I might need you in deflector control at some point to assist with getting the SDA in line. =/\=

Michaels: =/\= I estimate the repair time will be 21 minutes. I will notify you if there is any indication that it will take significantly longer. =/\=

That didn't seem too bad. And if they needed longer, it would be doable. While the SDA was a priority – in Thelan's mind, at least – It wasn't like they needed it immediately. There was time.

Valeris: =/\= Sounds good. Valeris out. =/\=

Thelan sat in silence for a moment, still watching the meters climb slowly. A small orange triangle appeared next to one of the capacitors and the readings from it began to drop. oO Bingo. Oo

He cut power to that capacitor and continued to watch the level drop. 

Valeris: =/\= Commander Velaris to Commander Dewitt. =/\=

Dewitt: =/\= Response =/\=

Valeris: =/\= There appears to be a significant power drain on capacitor three for the SDA. Do we have any spares? =/\=

Dewitt: =/\= Response =/\=

Thelan grabbed his PADD and turned to leave the control room.

Valeris: =/\= Roger that, sir. Thank you. =/\=

Dewitt: =/\= Repsonse =/\=
