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.Ens. Smythe
Eng“Ensign would you like a hand with the reactor?”
Murphy, 2O
Jon didn’t look up from his scanning. “I’ve got to find out if we can do anything for it first, sir,” he replied.

EngAfter looking at the reactor, Smythe could determine that Michaels was correct. Several of the magnetic fields were not operational to hold fusion containment, so the fusion generator was operating at less than standard operating efficiency. It was actually a miracle that they got a fusion reaction out of the generator at all. The components required to replace were quite extensive, more parts that they could possibly jury rig out of the current systems to make it work. Some of the components and chips required were not available in any particular device on the ship, and were very specific to fusion generators. The only way to replace them was to manufacture them.
“Well cac,” Jon muttered.
Sufficient say, restoring power the ship using the current level of 24th century technology was impossible, that so much Smythe was beginning to realize. They would have to find different ways to power the ship, more older mechanical ways of generating and storing power to manufacture the parts they need. A thought in Smythe’s head about the historical history Engineering lessons they studied at the Academy. The Academy thought to give Starfleet Engineers a wide range of expertise of various older technologies, ever since Captain Scott was found by the Enterprise. Studying the past and knowing about the past could lead insight to future technologies – since most Engineering principles were developed in the past anyway. So things like constructing and/or evaluating different basic forms of power were something they learned. Especially since the possibility of going on away missions to ancient civilizations and/or pre-warp civilizations could be possible.

“Well, the good news is we know what we need to do,” Jon said. “The hard part is going to be finding what we need to do it, and getting everybody on the same page about doing it. Building a system to store power is easy enough, we’ve already got batteries on the ship. It’ll be generating it that’ll be the task-and-a-half.”

Eng“You can speak freely Ensign. What are you thinking?”
Murphy, 2IC
“A lot of things, Commander,” Jon said. “But I can’t formulate any solid plans because I don’t know anything about where we landed and the available resources we could use to generate power.”
He snapped his tricorder shut. “I do know that I can maybe do something about our internal comms issues, assuming the things I’ll need were actually stocked already, unlike every-bloody-thing else on this Godsforsaken hulk.”

“Alright do you know where the parts are Ensign?”
