Jaein straightened up from his survey, rubbing a hand on his back. You're getting too old for this, he told himself. If he'd had the sense the Prophets gave a pylchyk, he would've stayed at his desk job. And yet here you are.
Fortunately, the situation wasn't quite as dire as he had thought. That wasn't the same as being easy, but at least it was doable. It appeared that the console used a ROM chip to hold its codes and information, which was explicitly not connected to any form of battery backup. If it lost power, then the information was instantly lost and essentially unrecoverable. Given how sensitive it was, he wouldn't even want to take it by transporter, just to be sure.
Fortunately, it appeared that whoever had installed the thing here on this Klingon freighter had already circumvented this problem once. There were some ports installed inside the console's rear designed to take an extra power source, letting it remain powered even after disconnecting from the ship. So, he thought, once I can get some batteries and a shuttle, we should be good, right?
Right.
He sat down and hit his commbadge. "Omdor to Crawford," he said. "We can get the console over to the Artemis, and I shouldn't have any trouble getting it installed onboard. To get it done, though, I'm going to need a shuttle; I'm not comfortable sending it through the transporter, given how sensitive the thing is."
Once he signed off with her, he hit the badge again, first calling to Artemis to get a couple of fusion batteries transported over, and then he called Ensign Han. "Omdor to Han, please come to the freighter's bridge. Gonna need a hand up here."
