Dohna: is the deflector still operational?
Morgan: ::lifting her head up:: Yes, the deflector is still operational. ::she smiled as a strand of unruly red hair got in her face::
Zh'taan: And their power doesn’t seem to have weakened. ::Smiles::
That at least was good news, they still had a chance to get away. If in fact they could get away from the catastrophe below. Sencha radiation had deleterious effect on subspace. Even if they could warp out, it wouldn't take long for the wave to overtake them. If they were lucky they would only drop out of warp, but it was more likely they'd be tuned into a stew of elemental particles.
Dohna: So our escape plan is intact, how long before that window closes for good.
Morgan: ::turning to Zh’taan:: How much time do we have, exactly, Mr. Zh’taan?
The Andorian seemed nervous.
Zh'taan: ::searching on his LCARS:: If we manage to get far enough from the black hole, and continue emitting anti-chronitons… ::performs calculations on his screen:: I’d say we have 33 minutes and 25 seconds left. ::Smiles::
Dohna: ::sighing:: That's not much time. Any way we can extend our window?
Morgan: ::shrugging:: You got me, I’m just the engineer. I can build things, take things apart, and put them back together again. Quantum mechanics and black holes? So not my area of expertise. But I do catch on damn quick. ::she turned to Zh’taan:: You’re the scientist, what say you?
T'Alia turned to face the blue clad ensign.
Zh'taan: ::turns to Rachel:: I know time is tight, but I need information. What’s clear is we must continue emitting anyons to prevent the ship from being surrounded by chronitons, which accelerate the damage effects. ::Continues scanning his LCARS::
Dohna: So we need to get the deflector up and running again.
Rachel displayed the results of her calculations on the main screen. Kelor examined them and T'Alia tried her best to comprehend them. Her real talent was in taking things apart and getting them back together. Theoretics was not her forte.
Zh'taan: I still have a few databases to search, but given the ship’s current state and the time left, it’s going to be hard to find a miracle solution…
Dohna: ::sounding cheery:: Not with that attitude.
Morgan: There has to be a way. The deflector is still operational. What if we used it to saturate the black hole with neutrinos? I’m thinking to use them to dilate the wormhole. If we manage to contain it, we could give our teams and craft time to return. Any better ideas?
Zh'taan: ::I don’t think neutrinos would work; they aren’t solid particles with mass. They would get sucked in by the black hole even faster than anyons, and the chronitons would reform around us in mass. ::His fingers stop typing on the screen:: Can you give me the status of the tractor beam?
T'Alia scratched her head.
Morgan: ::looking at her readout:: Tractor beam seems to be in working order. I’m curious to see where you're going with this, Mister Zh’taan.
Dohna: Indeed.
Zh'taan: ::Smiles as he transfers the page from his LCARS to a larger screen visible to the team:: I found something. The black hole generates a massive gravitational force. But the tractor beam could allow us to create antigraviton particles. I think this could reduce the black hole’s pull.
T'Alia tilted her head to one side then the other. It seemed logical if not slightly unorthodox.
Morgan: That might just work, but I’m working on a backup solution, and I’m running the simulations right now. But because of the power issues, it’s taking a bit longer than I had anticipated. oO Don’t mind me quadruple checking Oo
Dohna: Let's be sure before we commit.
The trio was silent as they checked and rechecked all the components and constraints of their plan.
Zh'taan: ::Types commands on his LCARS and sends the results to the screen:: I just sent the maximum distance the ship should maintain from the black hole and the power settings for the tractor beam. If we manage to back away and use the tractor beam in repulsive mode, we can get far enough from the black hole to stay safe long enough to recover our teams. This could give us at least 30 more minutes compared to the current situation.
Morgan: I’m pretty sure I found a Plan B, and it might be good enough to buy us all the time we need. I mean, we could make this black hole nothing but a micro-black hole. But get that beam ready.
Dohna: Yes, sir.
T'Alia began to prime the tractor beam.
Zh'taan: Understood, I’ll handle synchronizing the beam with the black hole.
Morgan: Okay, let's not get out over our skis just yet. Go easy with that tractor beam. I’m reconfiguring the deflector array, gimme a second.
Dohna: Tractor beam is ready, I'll leave it to you Mr. Zh'taan.
Morgan: Mister Zh’taan, I need you to configure the deflector array to take in that Hawking radiation. Once we’ve collected enough, we should be able to fire it at the damn thing and shrink it to a point where it’s not bothersome for us, or anyone else.
T'Alia found herself getting excited. She'd never found herself in a circumstance quite like this on the Rose. Getting to colaborate with team mates was fun. Now they just needed to avoid dying.
Dohna: ::quietly:: Jia'kaja, tre'nu'tol'a rem... La'por i'lanu kos... I'nar tan'a'tali nor...
Zh’taan: Response
T'Alia watched as Rachel activated the system. She tensed wondering what might come next.
Morgan: Here goes nothing! ::she slammed her down on the engage button::
