"Since when do we have exoco..."
"Midshipman, I need you to just, slow down," Ra'an ordered. "You just went from assisting with repairs to having the ... exocomps actually do the work for us. I know I said we were on a time crunch, but we still go one step at a time, and we don't get ahead of ourselves. I don't trust... They aren't just machines that we can program to go do our dirty work for us, and I don't know these ..." Ra'an paused as she stumbled over her words. "I don't know them. And I don't intend to sit here and spend time to get to know them ... ehrm right now... before asking them if they want to go into something that you've deemed too dangerous for one of us."
Raven was right. This Midshipman did need to learn to think things through. It was affirming to know that Amila wasn't the only one thinking it, but she made no other acknowledgements to the Ensign's statements, outside of her orders to Cortez.
Oleah studied Pedro's face while their boss redirected his actions, a wry smile played on her lips as her right antennae flexed slightly with interest. He was such a go-getter, and she was curious about how we would respond.
"I'll go in myself," Amila stated. "We've been working on how to get into this thing since we brought it back to the lab, and Midshipman Cortez and Petty Officer sh'Söjress, confirmed our original findings."
The Chief Science Officer measured up the young, eager, and highly competent engineer, and considered her earlier comments. "Singer, if you are volunteering, you are with me."
"Cortez and A'kilees, I want you both monitoring this containment box closely. Watch for anything leaking through, any signal, any static anything. I trust that this is built to better than code, but we are dealing with alien technology, so it could find a way to breach our known ways of blocking signals. This you can ask your Droids for assistance with," Ra'an ordered.
"Three taps on the container, Loud taps, if we need to shut it down, but record what you can," she added. "We can have sh'Söjress and the UT try to assist with translation, and take it to the Captain before proceeding."
"Am I clear?" Amila asked.
"Petty Officer sh'Söjress, step into the corridor and send a comm to Lieutendant Gath and Commander Ameen and see if they need your assistance on the Holodeck yet," Amila suggested. "If they do, make your way there, and we'll bring anything we have to you. Otherwise, wait whereever you are comfortable until we call for you."
