“Ensign, releasing a huge amount of energy into a small space cooks food, things, and in this case, people by rapidly increasing the kinetic energy of its molecules, causing them to vibrate, rotate, or collide violently. This molecular friction generates intense heat, breaking down cellular structures, breaking proteins, and initiating chemical reactions, like the Maillard reaction for browning. Now, depending on the type and amount of radiation, this is how different methods achieve this: Radiation Microwaves: Microwaves generate high-frequency waves that penetrate objects directly, targeting water molecules and forcing them to vibrate, generating heat from within. Induction. If it’s Electromagnetic Fields, high-frequency induction coils create a magnetic field that reacts with ferrous metal parts, causing them to heat up instantly and transfer that thermal energy to the objects via conduction. Infrared Radiation Broiling/Toasting: Electric or gas elements emit electromagnetic waves, infrared that travel directly to the surface of the object, providing intense heat to sear or brown the exterior. Releasing a huge amount of energy into a small space, high energy density cooks objects faster and creates intense surface browning, while releasing the same energy into a larger space, low energy density results in slower, more even cooking through the entire mass.” Stated Sebastian, his tone was a matter-of -fact.
“Ensign, we don’t know what that object is, it could be a subspace antenna. In that case, it is designed to channel large amounts of energy. It could be a simple Library Matrix; it could be someone’s personal journal. So, ideally, we probably should be doing this in a Cargo Bay as opposed to the Science Lab, just to be on the safe side.” Said Sebastian. “However, that decision isn’t up to me; I can only offer my professional opinion.” He added.
Sebastian knew he was probably being overly cautious, but it was better to be safe than sorry. He was truly interested in finding out what was in the alien device. His question was who or what was going to sing to the device? Would a biological being be capable of hitting the right note, or would a computer be better, more accurate?
