As the others showed up, Mazi glanced around and moved so they were all a good distance from the egg shape. “I don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s definitely the cause for the power issues. It’s pulling way more than the current setup is meant for.” She walked around it again and glanced at the lines going to and from it. “I think…” she cocked her head slightly. “I think we can reconfigure the lines to make the power come more directly from the Core and less on the power output meant for this location, alone.” For a couple moments she murmured and looked around again.

She started speaking out loud, then, though now it was just her mind figuring things out and not actually meant for anyone in particular. “So if those lines are shifted, and that conduit split that load and this one…” she glanced to each section in turn as she tried to suss out how to reroute the item while saving the huge drain it was causing. “Though, if it was moved to Engineering, it would probably be much easier.” She laughed and continued to wander the room trying to see how things could be salvaged here. She was careful not to touch the object, though now and then she did touch a cable or line while in her mind she linked it back to its source. The whole time, her antennae were waving back and forth as if following with their own tips, the line of reasoning her mind was following.

As Mazi concerned herself with the physical architecture of the power network to and from the egg, Eve moved over to the bank of terminals and scrutinized the rapidly scrolling information in an attempt to decipher something useful from it.

  • Eve (Eng)

Eve’s study of the fast scrolling information were the local station’s computer rooting and rerouting on a programmed cycle power from other locations or systems to dampen the ‘egg’ it seemed. The program in essence was self inflicting its own energy drain to try to compensate for its own drain, in effect a vicious loop all tied into the dampening of this mystery egg!

Though Mazi had probably already done so Kala had placed her science kit on the side and opened it up, she produced a TriCorder and was scanning to confirm everything the other woman had said and also to see if she could find something she may have overlooked. While she did she spoke out loud. “If the egg, if that’s what were calling it is pulling to much power wouldn’t we risk it doing the same to the Core? If we plug it in we could cause more issues, how about taking it away from the station? Give it a standalone power source to drain?”

  • Kala Gorvel

Scans of the ‘egg’ turned up negative while the dampening field was in place it was just too strong to bust through with their hand held and TR-600 tricorders wrist units. They COULD probably just shut down the field but then who knew what that might be protecting them from with this ‘egg’

As Mazi would study the power lines she could see that likely the field was already tapped into the core near as directly as it could be without being next to it. The cables and generators were supplementing the core it seemed to dampen.....something regarding the ‘egg’. It seems Kala’s theory about endangering the core would be a likely one if directly connected any closer.

Kala closed the tricorder and shoved it back in the pack “Can we drop this containment field? Even just for a second so I can go in and get a closer look we’re trying to fry eggs, Excuse the pun without a pan.” She turned to face Mazi and Eve who would inevitably give them nod “Its not doing much to stop it from breaking havoc anyway.” The young trill shrugged.

  • Kala Gorvel

Eve having read through the consoles, could confirm they could probably shut it down easiest and quickest by simply turning off the supplementary power generators nearby. Unless they planned to hack the command console functions of the computer on the station they either needed to shut off power here, or get someone in engineering with such access to do it.

GM CockRoach

“Why don’t we just unplug it?” Arthur asked. He wasn’t very familiar with Engineering or similar stuff, but he knew that unplugging electronics usually turned them off.
