Jadaris was deep in concentration when he heard Jensen ping him over his commbadge,
[Jensen to Jadaris. If you can spare Ensign Elliot, I would like for him to meet me at the site of the explosion in the aeroshuttle dock.]
He looked up from the master systems display, still visualizing the ship's different components as geophysical concepts and pieces of a planet. With so many possible faults and places of stress on the ship, there was a lot that could go wrong if too much power was routed through an overstressed section of the EPS grid.
"Mr. Elliot. You have my permission to join Commander Jensen in the aeroshuttle bay. I'm going to give your PADD permissions to remotely reroute the EPS grid on the sections you're assigned should you see any that get overstressed by the power reroutes we're having to do." He then returned to looking at the grid, and the incoming sensor readings.
The interstellar particle cloud from the comet was worrying, as the incoming particle storm could potentially clog the ship's bussard ramscoops. However, these electromagnetic field generators could operate in reverse, but in Jadaris's mind, there was a third function. By blocking off the ramscoops but also running the EM generators in repulsion mode, they could then produce a field that could assist the deflector in repelling the particle storm from the comet. And if the field was tuned just right, it could be used to funnel the cloud right into another racer. He tapped his badge and said,
"Jadaris to Bridge. That particle cloud could jam up our Bussard Collectors at the cloud's current level of radiation density. I would recommend running the Ramscoops in EM inversion mode in parallel with the deflector collimator's field alignment grid to generate a repulsion field around the intake systems and possibly funnel some of that particle stream towards our competitors."
Just because he had power systems to manage, didn't mean he couldn't apply his magnetotelluric knowledge to the situation at hand. Ultimately, it would be up to science to determine if they could align the fields correctly, or if it was just easier to protect their intakes with the EM field. In any case, blowing another EPS conduit in the process would always be a problem when doing things the ship wasn't designed for.
