((OOC - Dohna T'Alia is supposed to be a LT., sorry for the confusion in my last sim title. Also sorry for putting us on the wrong deck. ))
((Deck 14, Main Engineering, The Pool Table, USS Ronin))
At long last the scientist T'Alia had sent for arrived. They were nowhere near getting warp power working as the Captain had requested and she was running out of ideas. Rachel seemed equally baffled and fairly annoyed. She hoped a fresh set of eyes might help.
Dohna: Ensign Zh'Thaan, over here. Thank you for coming I'm Lt. Dohna T'Alia.
Morgan: ::slight bow:: Welcome to the Ronin, I’m Lieutenant Morgan, propulsion specialist and nerdy engineer. ::she smiled while adjusting her messy bun::
Zh'Thaan: :nods to both women in greeting:: Pleased to meet you, ladies. It’s a pleasure to be able to assist you.
Dohna: We're trying to determine why the Ronin cannot create a stable warp field. I thought perhaps fresh eyes would help.
Zh'Thaan: I see. ::He leans over the table and analyzes the various data readouts:: The different probes show that spacetime is disturbed around the ship, which is preventing us from generating a stable warp field.
It was a highly reasonable hypothesis. What to do about the situation was less clear.
Dohna: I'm going to go out on a limb and say it may have something to do with the Sencha radiation erupting for the surface of the moon below us.
Zh'Thaan: ::His coursework on the subject is still fresh in his mind:: That seems like a fairly logical explanation to me. Time itself is fractured and no longer consistent around the ship, so if the space around us isn’t stable, the warp field can’t be stable either.
There was a sudden smack and T'Alia saw that Rachel's hand was flat atop her forehead.
Morgan: I have been awake for far too many hours at this point. I can’t believe I didn’t take that into account. ::she rubbed her eyes with her fists::
T'Alia wondered about relaying helpful saying that a Vedek had once shared with her on the Prophets priority for rest, but opted against it. Rachel did not seem in the mood and it could prove a distraction.
Dohna: Does taking it into account help us get the ship moving? I'm not sure I have a tool for fixing space time.
The pair seemed to ignore her comment.
Zh'taan: The scans indicate that the ship is surrounded by chroniton particles, which are disrupting the spacetime field. What do you think? ::He turns toward Lieutenant Dohna.:
Morgan: That would certainly have a lot to do with it.
Dohna: Agreed, but do we have a way to clear them away so that the system can initialize?
Zh'taan: Destroying these chroniton particles should restabilize spacetime and allow us to activate the warp field. Do you have any ideas?
T'Alia did not. In fact she had hoped the Andorian would have a trick up his sleeve. Fortunately it seemed that Rachel had an idea.
Morgan: According to the archives and relevant research on the subject, the USS Voyager realigned its deflector dish to spread anti-chronitons and disperse chronitons that were causing all kinds of problems, including the return of one of the former crew members and aging backwards. So they used the deflector dish, reversed its polarity, and blamo::making a motion with her hands:: chronitons dispersed. I think this might be our best course of action.
Dohna: ::furrowing her brow:: How did they make sure the dish didn't go "blamo"?
Deflector dishes seemed at once to be the most robust and the most fragile parts of a starship. Capable of incredible feats, but also susceptible to damage due to their complexity.
Zh’taan: Response
Morgan: Yes, it’ll take some time to realign the deflector dish. The problem is, we don’t want to blow it out. We need to be careful with the controls when we fire it off, if that’s what we want to do. We could also use Anyon Emitters, but we’d have to replicate a mess of them and then attach them to the hull. So I say we go with option numero uno.
Dohna: As a backup Lt. Morgan, could we use phaser emmiters?
T'Alia was only just getting to know the Ronin and the idea of getting Anyon Emitters in place was too time consuming, but if the deflector plan failed they needed a backup.
Zh’taan: Response
Morgan: Right now, Chip is manning engineering on the bridge. I’m not sure he has the qualifications for such a task, but we’re going to find out. Or we can notify the bridge and proceed from here.
She had met Chip and while the Prophets had much to say about the value of everyone's pagh, she was not sure Chip's pagh was ready for this task.
Dohna: I suggest we handle this from here. ::beat:: Strongly.
Zh’taan: Response
T'Alia moved once more to the pool table and brought up the system display for the deflector. It was slowly powering up.
Dohna: Question. The Intrepid-class starships have very powerful deflector systems. The Ronin's is ::beat:: smaller. Will it be enough?
Zh’taan/Morgan: Response
Dohna: My only concern is that if we overload it pushing out the chronitons, we won't have it to protect us as we're traveling at warp speed.
Zh’taan/Morgan: Response
T'Alia continued to watch the deflector carefully continue to power up.
Dohna: What do we have it emit? You now to push out the chronitons.
