Emmy perused the information on her PaDD as she sat ramrod straight in her chair. She wasn’t sure if the information would be relevant to the situation at hand, but at least it was interesting and it gave her something to do while she waited to hear back from the various teams.

With Stadi at his side, Kyle leant over the tactical console, tapping it lightly with his fingers, “So,” he began, “How do we clear out t’exhaust pipe?”
-Lieutenant Junior Grade Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-
“The exhaust.....?” Dael was brought out of his thoughts and those of the crew surrounding him at the unfamiliar term. It took him a second for his mind to connect it with something from one of his early engineering courses. “Oh, right, such as an old 19th century combustion engine from your home planet. Or was it 20th century, I never was that good at keeping track of dates.” He looked up again at the viewscreen. He thought of reaching out with his mind to it, he knew some Betazoids who could read thoughts or emotions across the vast distances between ships so long as a viewscreen connected the two. Personally, he had never tried something like that, but it could be possible, it wasn’t like he could ever turn his abilities off. He’d just have to make more of an effort to read it.... But he stayed with the task at hand. Besides, it sounded lie this “peacock” was some sort of alien animal, and Dael’s people were very hesitant to connect to an animal mind. Instead he turned his attention to Lt. Anders.
“Well, I’m not sure Lt. Sapeth would like it, considering the warp drive is currently under repairs.... But, there’s something I think we can do. Have you ever heard of the Bussard Ramscoop Fuel method, Lieutenant? If for whatever reason Federation ships are low on power, it’s a method we can use to replenish a minor supply of energy from the space around us. The ship emanates ionized radiation with a magnetic field and attracts and compress the gas that is in our galaxy, taking it in from the front of our nacelles, which small amounts of deuterium can be salvaged. Though it’s very small so it’s more for emergencies…” Dael took a breath before continuing, excited that the thought had come to him and not wanting the flow to stop. “So basically, if we can reverse this flow, basically backflush the plasma or hydrogen gas that would normally be scooped up and throw it back out.... Boom! Instant light show.”
As he finished his excited explanation another thought came to him. “If we wanted to make it more impressive I’m sure you could rig some torpedoes to do some minimal yield flashing, though I’d be concerned with the shields still not at full power and the possible reaction with the hydrogen and the torpedoes.” He stopped and focused some more on the thought before turning to Kyle for some suggestions. His confidence had been growing since a problem had been given to him. No protocols to worry about, or stray thoughts from others coming in to distract me. Just plain simple focus on a problem, this… This I can do.

Kyle grinned, “You mean like a fireworks display,” he said, “Almost as if we were recreating the Riker Manuvere, just… y’know, without the exploding ships.” He looked across the Bridge at Captain Davis, “This will certainly get their attention, ma’am.”

OOC: Fantastic post, Griffin!
IC:
“This…?” Emmy enquired, her eyebrow raising in a particularly Vulcan like facial expression as she looked up from the PaDD in her hand.

Kyle looked over at Dael, awaiting his explanation, “Over to you lad.”
