Wil crossed his arms and turned back to Core’s MST schematics.
Ukinix: The big key to the MST was the need for a transporter beacon acting as a mid-range broker. That was designed for millions of kilometres of distance, ::To Kivik:: could we adapt one to act over a much shorter distance, and maintain pattern integrity?
...those were the same beacons that facilitated Jhalib Ekal's trips across time.
The reminder made her cringe a little.
Thorne: ::nodding and almost whispering:: Like cave diving.
Kivik: Response?
Blake: Sending in air and water canisters might buy us more time. Maybe some support structures they can put to use themselves?
Ukinix: And we now have access to Level 1 of the mine. ::Putting hands behind back, To Blake:: Commander, I suggest we send Thorne and Kivik back to Level 1. They can install the modified beacon. I can work on modifying our transporters to work with it.
Kivik: Response?
Thorne: Is there any certainty there is anyone alive down there to rescue?
Ukinix: I’m gonna assume they’re alive. Until we’ve heard anything to the contrary. ::To Blake:: With a beacon in place on Level 1, we can attempt beaming those sorts of supplies in, including a method of communication. The lower level of the mine is very big, it’ll be like throwing a dart at a dart board blindfolded. So we’d have to randomly keep trying until we found people. It also means that sometimes we’d be beaming supplies into fallen rock.
Thorne: If we lose a lot of material, we're gonna need those replicators running at full intensity!
Blake: Not necessarily. We can use the maps of the original mines to act as a guide. If we run a few destructive simulations using the same conditions that caused the mine collapse, we may be able to find suitable locations to beam supplies.
Thorne: ::nodding and almost whispering:: Like cave diving.

Ukinix: I’d stick to “things” not anything living, because… ::turning to screen, scrolling through Core’s logs:: and I quote, “I decided to go ahead and put a lifeform on the Akeelah and see if it had the same results as the original transporter design we're using. The transport itself was a full success, but then we got up close and ran a medical check. Yeah, that wasn't a success. I'll leave out the gruesome parts, but had it been a real person, things would have not re-materialized where they were supposed to re-materialize.”
Leave it to Tristam Core to colour his logs...
Thorne: No living things?

Thorne: No living things?
Blake: That's fine. That option wasn't on the table anyway.
Kivik: Response
Ukinix: Every time after we beam out some rock, could we immediately try beaming in some sort of tubular material that could re-enforce the hole?
Thorne: Well we gotta try. That is why we are out here, right? To take the risks? I for one am ready to go.
Kivik: Response

Blake: Airbag kits. Rangers use them to help stabilize buildings that lose structural integrity while engineers worked on repairs, out in new colonies. I requisitioned some for Kidman I last month -- they're still in our cargo hold.
Largew and Macnamara wouldn't mind. Much.
Kivik/Ukinix: Response?
Thorne: Let's just be certain we don't get buried alive, kay? ::Lilith reached into her pocket and pulled out a handful of candies and looked at each of them in turn and smiled:: Candy?

Blake laughed once.
Blake: Alright. We have a plan. But now we need a timeframe.
Ukinix: Response?
Kivik/Thorne: Response?
Blake: And how long will it take to build the beacon?
Ukinix/Kivik: Response?
Thorne: Response?
Blake: Wil, this is your area. Put us to work.
Ukinix: Response?
