Almost like he was reciting a report in front of the class, young Leo Alden told Art what he knew of neutrino particles. Some of it was purely scientific, some of it piqued her interest. Sensing and de-cloaking ships she knew about, though she wondered if they could use that to their advantage. It sure would be helpful to disappear from your opponent’s radar - a trick that both Romulans and Klingons loved to do. Of course, they did not have the moral high ground that the Federation so firmly made it a point to stand on.
The study sounded interesting, if not perhaps slightly too brainy for her to comprehend on a first read. Had they had the time, Art would have had Alden try and bring up the research papers for her to read, but they had hours, days, not weeks and months. Then of course there was the Bajoran wormhole, and Artie wondered how close this “white star” and the wormhole had in common.
Her mind was spinning with how they could use neutrinos to their advantage, and how a shuttle might fare against a storm of these tricky buggers.
Someone not in a Security uniform walked up, and Art was admittedly a little disappointed it wasn’t someone from Science. She could have used someone to bounce her half-cocked ideas off of, even if they weren’t tactically viable.
“Klingon cloaking devices use a shielded filter to prevent neutrino emissions from the warp reactor from revealing their position.”
Art murmured a “hmm” in agreement with the reminder of how her people operated.
“Romulans I believe do the same, but older models of cloaking devices emitted tachyons as part of their operation, making them easier to track.”
Her mouth quirked to one side, debating on whether the Romulans were actively trying to move away from that method of cloaking, as the Klingons had decided against. The question had been posed, of course, because Romulans were nothing if not sneaky, but engineers had supposedly widely agreed that it was just too damn hard. For some reason, Art seemed to remember that a Romulan ship had tried it, only to have their warp core blow up spectacularly.
“Tachyons…” the Chief muttered, crossing her arms. After a moment, she threw a glance to the giant wolf-like humanoid, formally acknowledging his presence. “nuqneH.” She said in the native tongue they both shared. “Alden, this is our CMO if you haven’t met him. Beinn. His people are a part of the Klingon Empire.” She dared not say more for risk of offending the man. It wasn’t his fault that the Klingons had taken over governance of his people long ago, and it was nice to have someone else who spoke Klingon on board.
