Leo spent whatever time that he was not on shift, eating or barely sleeping, in the Holodeck. He ran numerous simulations based on what Artemis had deemed necessary and played through countless variations of each survival scenario she had provided or had programmed. When he wasn't, attempting to survive in those programs, obviously not all of them had gone to D'Tor'an's high expectations of him, he ran through countless Tactical training scenarios at Commander Jensen's behest. Although his Tactical minor from the Academy aided him slightly, the non stop simulations had thrown him off balance and was beginning to struggle with keeping up. His inexperience was showing more and more each day and he had to force himself to stop after making several foolish 1st year cadet mistakes but continued his training after a full day's rest. His solo training had pushed him further than even he thought possible, although scenarios where he failed would constantly nag him and whether he could put that training into practical use when the time came remained unanswered.

“Alden!” The tone alone had him practically materialising next to his Chief.
“What do you make of all this?” She asked, pointing at a screen. “And what do you remember from classes about neutrinos?”
D'Tor'an's voice faded a little as his brow furrowed slightly as a deep search of his memory began. He wouldn't admit that he hadn't heard the end of her sentence, the cogs in his head had started whirring to quickly and he didn't need that kind embarrassment after some of the stupid mistakes he'd made during his week of training.
He spoke softly as he tried to speak at the same time as recalling more information.
“Well, I don't remember much from my science lessons other than they travel close to the speed of light and they can be used in the study of stars such as the Earth’s sun. But neutrinos can be used in lots of ways. From a tactical view, they can reveal cloaked ships, neutrinos are often released from antimatter reactors and warp drive explosions, they are often found in some ships and craft's nacelle emissions and can be used to track them.”
He paused for a moment and tilted his head before continuing. “There was a study into whether a highly concentrated beam of neutrinos that are put into a state of oscillation can be used to sweep or scan an area even with a high degree of interference for ships, weapons and even debris and then, rather famously, the Bajoran Wormhole emits an elevated level of neutrinos just before it opens.”
He breathed out, as quietly as he could, gleeful of the fact that he'd managed not to ramble or stumble on his words. Despite his growing tiredness from the last week, he was getting a touch more comfortable around the crew, he'd even met a few new officers in the mess hall and that sense of beginning to fit in was helping him massively. He wasn't quite there just yet, but he'd made headway. All he had to do now was get a good night's sleep at the end of his shift, whenever that would be, and prove himself on the upcoming mission. He took another breath as he read the information floating up the screen next to what had to be the bridge's view screen and he took note of what seemed important while he waited for Art to ask more questions.
