Talion had just turned to head back to the Turbolift when his Science Ensign intercepted him. He gave a barely raised eyebrow in response to the eager inquiry of the crewman. He had to admit that being a hybrid, the cranial ridges were more subdued and he supposed that the less dramatic appearance was more attractive to him than that of a full blooded Klingon might be. She also was more polite and intelligent than most of the Klingons he had met in his past, so it was easier to speak with her.
He took the offered PADD and swiftly scanned the data while listening to the speculations. A grin threatened to to turn into a smile, but he fought to keep it to the confines of just a polite grin as he turned to her and replied in a calm tone that he tried very hard not to allow to sound condescending, "Ensign, I can certainly appreciate your idea, but there are a few tiny fundamental flaws to contend with. First of all, the energy required to contain and maintain a stable singularity would be...problematic at best. Even if we could overcome that particular holy grail, I wish to point out that then maintaining control of something within a singularity defies current known laws of physics. Were we able to overcome this second monumental hurdle, it would also then counter the effects of any kind of field we might attempt to create within such a tiny space. Should we manage to accomplish all of this, the very nature of it all would operate contrary to the desired effect of such a field. Remember that the field, to transport us with it, would require to envelope us, just as a warp field does. Thus, we would paradoxically need to be within the field that we were transporting."
His expression wrinkled a bit, giving a humorous sort of wincing appearance, "Like I said, very problematic." He highlighted part of her data and added, "You have the wrong equation here. Don't feel bad, when you're dealing with quantum elements, the math is often quite confusing. I know lots about it, but anyone who tells you they know everything about it is lying to you." His look instantly turned to that of a teacher trying to encourage a bright student, "Don't give up on your idea though. People once thought warp drive was impossible and look at us now. Given the work you've done on this, I think you're actually closer to creating controlled wormholes, so maybe you could redirect your energies to that sort of outcome. Don't give up though. It's rare that I have someone approach me with such a bold idea. I find your enthusiasm to be very encouraging."
He then did smile and held the PADD out for her to take back for review and awaited her reaction.
