=/\= Crew Lounge, USS Chimera C =/\=
Jade was sitting in the crew lounge with a tablet and cup of coffee
going over some options for her communication jammer breaker. She
started thinking that it might be better to go with some technology
that is older, but might be able to get through communication jamming
techniques. Looking at something that the officers of Kirk's era
would've used a Laser Beacon it was pretty straight forward it used a
concentrates laser to break through an ionized atmosphere to get a
signal through. Using this same concept they might be able to
penetrate a jamming field and it would be a smaller piece of hardware.
Gustav walked into the crew lounge on his break, he was still busy
even though it was meant to be RnR, he went a replicated some coffee
and noticed Reese sitting by herself looking some stuff over and he
decided to sit with her.
"After noon Captain, busy day?" He asked
"Afternoon Lieutenant. Semi-busy mainly paper work, but I guess that
comes with being a department head." Jade said smiling, "how's your
day going?" Jade asked moving a few PADDs to allow the Lieutenant to
sit down.
"I've been busy repairing damage in the environmental controls, I've
also some other stuff on the go but hopefully the repairs will be done
soon" he told her.
"Well hopefully that's going well." Jade said setting down the tablet
she was reading and working with so she could take a sip of water.
Gustav, being the inquisitive person that he was couldn't help but
glance at the PADD that was put down on the table, talking to himself
he said "hmm interesting… laser beacons… maybe tachyon would" he then
stopped himself before he went further.
Jade looked back to the table after she realized that she was staring
off into space literally, "unh...." Jade said before she realized that
the Engineer was looking at her tablet, "I've never worked with
tachyon before how would it be used to beat a communication jamming
field?" Jade asked.
Gustav thought for a moment on how to simplify his explanation for a
minute before he started, not because he thought Reese wouldn't
understand but because he would more than likely spend the next few
hours going over nearly every facet of what he knew about tachyons and
how they could be used in breaking through comms jamming.
"Well tachyons are faster than light particles that are very high
powered, they are sometimes used for extremely long range
communication where subspace transmissions won't work, over long
distance the power of the transmission dissipates over time but on
short ship to ship burst transmissions then I think the power output
might be able to overcome the jamming of the romulans" he said while
starting think to apply it to a ship.
Jade nodded, "and with the intensity that the laser beacon would add
it should most likely break through any communication jamming field>"
Jade said out loud, but more to herself, "and this idea can work on a
star ship like the Chimera and on fighters as well mainly because
they're not big pieces of equipment we would just have to modify the
deflector dish to allow it to emit tachyons and put a laser beacon on
it." Jade added.
"How would you like to join me on a meeting with Captain Xerxes?" Jade
said thinking that it might help to have an engineer with her to
explain that the modification would be minor and also that the laser
beacon won't take any room on the deflector dish instead of the dish

"I wouldn't mind, just give me a time and a place and I'll be there"
Gustav said.
"Alright I'll contact you once I have the details." Jade said smiling,"it was good to see you again Lt." Jade said as she stood up and grabbed her tablet and coffee cup and headed out of the crew lounge.
