Niels waved away the offer of a dermal regenerator, not even considering the rules the Lieutenant might be breaking by having one. There were other more important things to worry about and his injured state made it difficult to allow anything other than the task at hand to encroach. At the mention of Talion's scans, he shifted forward in his chair. He took up a posture favoring his left side, allowing him to signal an interest in this data, but still be mindful of his wounds.
Taking the offered PADD, Niels blinked hard a few times before focusing on the information. He only half heard Kalli's request to go back over, enough to get the gist. His brain wouldn't let him respond at the same time as he was reading the data on the screen. The silence grew until he suddenly slapped the PADD down on the desk and jabbed a finger at a line of data from the probe readouts.
"That right there," Niels said, his voice more gravelly than usual, "I'm pretty sure that power signature is responsible for the explosion. Cindy reported it just before it all went to hell."
Niels pushed the PADD back across the desk in case Kalli wanted to look at the information, though he assumed she already had. He leaned back in his chair again, his eyes closing to a point just short of a grimace. After a deep breath, he continued.
"Judging from the location of the blast and its size," Niels said, "I'd guess some Cardassian ordnance was involved."
Opening his eyes, Niels looked out of his office window, seeing the team at work in the main room.
"Pass this information on to the team," Niels said, "add it to what I collected aboard the ship. As for going back, I'm for it as long as proper precautions are taken. I don't know if that power signature was caused locally or remotely, but there has to be some sort of clue in the wreckage as to what happened and how. If you're up for it, you have my permission to take a look."
