Raven narrowed her eyes and leaned back against a lab table, folding her arms across her chest, a grin beginning to form on her face, "Fair enough, Mister Cortez, but explain to me how you're going to be in less danger in a bigger enclosure. You're still going to need to be inside the cage with the device, or you're going to need to have the trigger recorded and able to be played on a timed release and attempt to record the results, then decide if you open the cage after not knowing for certain if it is safe or not, because your devices can't communicate outside the cage without allowing some form of way to get a signal out, which will then be a risk of something else being able to piggyback a way out. Listen, I've had to build secure computer access rooms with no means of anything getting in or out of and there are minimal distances for even the most shielded conduits to be allowed within for the exact same reasons you're discussing here. I'm telling you that to be sure of what is happening, you're going to have to have at least one person inside there and protocols dictate that for safety, there needs to be a buddy system of at least two people in there, in the event one is incapacitated. You might need to make it big enough that you can enter wearing one of our damage control EVA suits, which are shielded against such things, but technically the computer systems inside those will be at risk, but they can be isolated from external communication once you open it back up and so on. I'm telling you, you really need to think this thing all the way through."
== Tag all, especially Cortez ==
== OOC: BTW, the thing about conduit distances and so forth is a real thing. I've had to certify standalone military systems that were required for work with Top Secret data and it can't have plumbing or any external electrical wires or conduits within a certain number of feet of any such system, which also tends to have to actually be maintained inside of a vault, etc. There are real world protocols for such things and this one simply includes a faraday cage that can block subspace, as well as normal energy fields. ==
