Cindy's expression was a mixture of uncertainty and mild confusion, "Her theory? You mean the propulsion thing?" She turned a bit more serious before her next words, "Commander, that's something Star Fleet Engineering has been working on for a long time now and although they've had minor progress in small scale laboratory testing, the structural issues on even the smallest scale for practical applications is still beyond our capabilities. The theories are sound enough, but so far it turns out that it would take something on the scale of a dyson sphere to be able to control it all intact. I would be glad to make some of the declassified material available to the Ensign, but we would have to get clearance for her from Star Fleet for the finer details."
At the request of wearing a comm badge, Cindy nodded, "Technically, I AM a comm badge and am tracked by the ship's computer, listed under Professional Equipment under Commander Talion. However, if you wish to assign me a comm badge with a unique identifier, I'm more than happy to comply for the sake of conformity. If it helps, I have also attended the Academy and am well versed in most of the course material even for classes that Alex did not attend. I have never held a rank, as I was never commissioned, though I am qualified to function in almost any basic rle on the ship. I do have experience in the field in a number of specialties, though most of those as a crew member on a ship were in the Science and Medical fields."
With just the smallest tilt of her head, she inquired, "Commander, you appeared surprised to see me. Did you not request my assistance in potential search and rescue operations with the questionable craft we are detecting a signal from? Targeting is unable to tell who they even are. We have a pulse beacon, but no readable data beyond that. There is debris, but for all we know, this could simply be a lure. Extreme caution is advised, given our location."
Talion spoke up, "She's not wrong. I have gotten a couple of tiny blips in the immediate area, but they could also be simple sensor echoes from spinning debris. We likely won't know more until we get much closer."
Cindy then took a step back, "Forgive me. I believe you still have unfinished business with the Chief of Security."
At that point, Cindy turned to Shione and smiled, "Good to see you again, Commander Kurasa."
Alex shook his head and mumbled to himself, "This is scary. It almost feels like we're getting the old band back together again.
Cindy then turned to look at Ensign Mala. Her smile widened a little more, but instead of speaking to her directly, she just gave Jez a friendly wink.
