“Alright,” said NE Mitchells. Mitchells and Smythe arrived at the tanks first. Using their tricorders, they found the tanks were intact. There were microfractures that were repaired recently, and they were holding. But would need to be reinspected periodically. The only means to fully patch the microfractures was to drain the tank, which wasn’t a viable option. The best they did was several seals that they did with some metal they carefully micro-welded on the outside. They couldn’t do any large welding, for fear of explosion.

GM

“Well, that’s better than nothing,” Jon reflected, checking his tricorder to see the fuel levels in each tank. There should be at least a year’s worth of deuterium for each of the ship’s generators inside, considering the ship was fresh from the yards.

They were in luck. They did have a year’s supply.

GM

As was Zen’s habit, he silently wandered after the Engineers, “Please tell me gentlemen, that you have some good news?” He said quietly from behind the two,

“A little, Commander,” Jon said. “It seems we’ve got plenty of deuterium to fuel the one generator we’ve got left, so long as we can keep it from leaking out through microfractures we can’t completely fix so long as they’re filled without running the risk of blowing up what’s left of the ship.”

He folded his tricorder shut. “Next on the list is checking out the generator itself, plus appraising what’s left of the other ones we had to disassemble to shore up the one we’ve got left.”

“How much deuterium we have?”

Murphy

“A year’s supply, sir, three since we only have one generator in operation,” replied the NE.

GM

Zen nodded. “Keep me appraised, and if possible can we try and sort some sort of communication through the ship. I’d rather not get a spanner and work morse code on a bulkhead.”

Kaida
XO

“I think we can come up with something a bit more civilized than that, if not quite to the individual level of a commbadge,” Jon said, adopting a thoughtful pose. “I’ll need to check a couple things, but hopefully we’ll have the start of an internal comm system by the end of the day.”

Keegan nodded to Zen and looked at Ensign Smythe”Let’s see if we can divert the energy of the deuterium into the ship’s power grid without overloading them. We’ll probably have to release the energy in spurts to do that.”

Murphy

“With respect, sir, I’m not sure that’s the best idea,” Jon said. “At least not until we’ve had a chance to assess the reactor. Trying to force more fuel through it may cause it to break down entirely.”

Ens. Smythe

“The reactor is holding operationally steady, but nowhere near the required power output. The magnetic fields for higher outputs are not possible with the current damage to the reactor,” replied NE Mitchells, “Or the finite control without a computer.”

GM

Zen nodded. “Murphy, stay here and let me know how this goes. I’ll got topside and see if we can find the captain,” he said turning to head from engineering.

Kaida
XO

“Aye Ser Kaida Ser.”

Murphy

Jon turned his attention to the reactor now, ideas for a rudimentary internal comm system spinning in his head. Mitchells said it was damaged, Jon needed to know just how bad that damage was, and both what was needed to repair it, and what could be done to repair it.

“Ensign would you like a hand with the reactor?”

Murphy, 2O
