Lieutenant JG Sybil Nemes - Useless scans?
Sybil Nemes
((Deck 09, Flight Deck Aft, USS Ronin))
Evinrude: We need to find that data recorder, this "black box". If it can confirm multiple sets of readings, like our scanners here...I think chronitons is a solid guess. ::He sighed, and raised a hand to rub at his beard.::
Sybil couldn’t agree more with her colleague’s assessment and nodded.
Nemes: Shouldn't a black box send out a location signal in such a case, so that it is easier to find?
Tucker: According to the Major here, the transponder hasn’t engaged, or it was broken.
Singh: Response
Sybil furrowed her brow. A black box was designed to withstand extreme conditions.
Evinrude: Could they have removed the data recorder...perhaps to hide information from adversaries...or from us? Would the Kurosawa have continued to function without it?
Tucker: ::turning to Tess, crossing his arms across his chest:: Oh, it would be fine without it, and it can be disabled. It’s just a royal pain in the ass to do so. It’s tucked back in behind an EPS conduit near the warp core. You have to remove the conduit to access it.
Sybil looked at Evinrude, then at Tucker. She didn’t think that was very likely. In fact, she wouldn’t even have thought of the black box, even if she had wanted to hide information – but she was just a Lieutenant JG and bot the Captain and his XO might have. She sighed. It was all just speculation.
Singh: Response
Evinrude: Understood. I'd like to keep putting together a complete picture of the wreck...or, multiple pictures, as it were. We'll have to sort through which pieces of the puzzle belong to the different sets of readings we're getting.
Tucker: I’m about bring the internal sensors online. I am also passing the data through to Astrophysics. If we are dealing with a spatial phenomenon, I want smarter minds than I to get a look at it.
Sybil had also continued to take scans of the wreckage.
Nemes: Well, we may be able to make sense of those readings later on.
Evinrude/Singh: Response
Tucker: =/\= Tucker to Kel, are ya’ll have issue with the sensors? I’m having issues with the internal sensors, not to mention tricorders..=/\=
Kel: =/\= Response =/\=
Tucker: =/\= Well, that’s not good…Okay, we’ll get back to it and give you some answers when we get some. Tucker, out. =/\=
This issue was shipwide: sensors on the fritz. The items you can see are physically present, but the computer thinks they may not be, which is causing the main computer to get twitchy.
Sybil thought about it for a moment. What could cause something like that?
Nemes: I’ve heard of subspace or quantum shifts that could cause that. I mean, if those wreckage pieces were somehow out-of-phase with us, the sensors might think they weren't actually here. Could that be the case here?
Evinrude/Singh: Response
Tucker: Okay, so it’s not just us. That still doesn’t answer any questions.
The Chief was right. They were still just speculating.
Sybil twisted her mouth slightly and continued scanning, simply to gather more data. That was the most sensible thing they could do at the moment.
Evinrude/Singh: Response
Tucker: Let’s not get down on ourselves yet; we know what we’re dealing with is at least affecting every sensor aboard the Ronin. We cannot ignore the Chroniton particles present. ::turning to Nemes:: Lieutenant, can you figure out if this wreckage is even ours? Get an idea of when it was built by scanning the hull you can…
Nemes: Yes, sir. I can try. But I doubt that these scans will give us reliable data either.
Evinrude/Singh: Response
Sybil went closer to one of the parts in front of her. She adjusted her tricorder, trying to find out how old it was – only to look at the data a few tricorder beeps later and bite her lip.
Nemes: These readings do not make sense either. ::turning towards Tess: Could you have a short look?
Sybil wanted someone to cross-check those readings she got.
Evinrude / Singh / Tucker: Response
Nemes: As I suspected, the readings are not clear. According to this scan data, the polyduranide and tritanium fabric used in the hull are approximately 200 years old. But … ::she swept her tricorder over the debris again and held her tricorder, so that the others could see:: now the data is different. See?
Evinrude / Singh / Tucker: Response
Solana: =/\=Stellar Cartography to Flight Deck. What the Hell is taking so long with that black box?!=/\=
Singh: =/\= Response =/\=
((OOC: I'll skip the rest of the call, as Sybil isn't listening or hearing the full conversation))
She noticed that Singh seemed to have a comm call, but she concentrated on her task.
Slightly frustrated, Sybil closed her tricorder and looked down at the piece of outer hull that had once been the captain's yacht. The computer was going haywire because the sensors were unable to deliver reasonable scans. What had Tucker said earlier? The computer thinks they're not there? But then how were they able to beam them up? Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and turned to Tucker.
Nemes: Sir, maybe we could have a look at the transporter logs. The sensors cannot make heads or tails of this, but we were able to beam them aboard. So the transporters were able to get a lock on them so we should be able to find out about their molecular and even subatomic structure there.
