== NPC Ens Dayna Ross, Engineer ==
The Engineering Officer was dressed in light what almost looked like light battle armor, but was in fact protective gear for Damage Control. She also had a helmet hanging off the side of her belt as she had entered and began working on the ruins that had previously been the Master Systems Display. Mala had been speaking to her, and she did indeed look rather similar to Kalli Thorn from behind. They both had almost identical ponytail and skin tone, but under that armor, Dayna had nothing like the strength of her supervisor. She was also a few inches taller, but it was hard to tell with her trying to make repairs as she listened to the enthusiastic Lt next to her.
Dayna finally turned and said, "Sorry Lieutenant, I'm Ensign Ross, but I get that a lot. Hang on a second, I think I might be able to help you." She glanced around and then said, seemingly to herself, "DD2, did you get that?"
A small sphere appeared next to her, even startling Dayna a little, "Affirmative. Database information on Cardassian ships is within predictable parameters of those currently engaged with us, but some upgrades are noted from scan data being observed on some of these consoles."
Dayna held up a hand and the sphere fell silent, "I meant about her specific question. Please reduce to the most concise answer."
"Yes."
There was a second before Dayna rolled her eyes and then said, "Fine, elaborate a little more."
The sphere reported, "Yes, it can work."
Dayna made a rolling gesture with her hand as she rolled her eyes again, to which the sphere then continued, "The shape of the charge with an overload setting will not require additional alterations of the warhead. My original existence began as a targeting computer program for a ship such as this. You can still set the desired target location as normal, but simply require an additional input of the desired angle of attack on the targeted location for the torpedo to autonomously alter trajectory for optimal impact. It will automatically alter speed and approach vector to compensate so impact is as instructed. To instruct multiple vehicles to strike, you need to designate numbers to them to form a flight group, then input the desired interval between impacts. For the type of torpedo you're suggesting, I recommend no less than 0.05 seconds and no more than 0.25 seconds for your desired effect, given your current data set on shield reaction times, with an optimal setting at 0.08 seconds."
There was a moment of silence and Dayna shrugged to Mala and went back to work. The sphere then added, "Lieutenant Mala, did you find this information to your satisfaction? Would you be interested in filling out a survey to help us improve how we serve you in the future?"
From Dayna could be heard, in an exasperated tone, "People are dying, don't ask her to fill out a survey. Come back when this is all over, if we're all still alive."
The sphere made a clicking noise and then said, "Please forgive the error, Lieutenant. Have a pleasant war."
It then faded away and Mala felt a tiny disturbance in the air as it relocated itself somewhere else. meanwhile there was a small amount of mumbled cursing from Dayna as she struggled to sort out repairs on the display.
== Tag Mala...sorry, but that previous post from Kalli mentioned she was doing some Damage Control elsewhere on the ship...so I improvised... ==
