(Deneb V - Hammond Research - Professor Chems Kitt and Jae Hammond - 
1100)It had been two weeks since Kitt had left the Academy to take over 
his position at Hammond Research. A whirlwind time indeed. With the help 
of Carirr Vikas, his assistant provided by Jae Hammond, he had been able 
to get a team of scientists and engineers together. Money had not seemed 
to be an object, and the labs were already outfitted with state of the 
art equipment. He had one team working on disassembling the different 
items that Hammon had brought in. He didn't know the origins, only that 
they were old. Very old. Representing some very advanced technologies. 
The team had been going slow, but it was clear that these devices were 
much more efficient at the energy storage and use than used in any of 
the Federation systems he was familiar with. If they can understand and 
can reverse engineer this power system, they will be able to build power 
units the third the size of the current ones. A second team was trying 
to understand the computer coding that Jae had provided. That was slower 
going, and they had brought in some computer linguists to assist. The 
door to his office opened, and Vikas stepped in. "Professor. Ms. Hammon 
has arrived." "Excellent, thank you Carirr. Please show her in and bring 
refreshments." "As you say, Professor." Jae breezed into the office, "My 
dear Chems, how are you doing? It's been ages." Chems stepped out behind 
his desk to great Jae. "I am well Jae. Thank you for asking. Please, 
take a seat. Carirr will be in with refreshments shortly." Jae sat down 
in the offered chair, across from Chems. "She is very efficient, thank 
you for sending her to me," Kitt said Jae nodded. "I knew getting this 
operation off the ground would require someone with her skills," she 
replied. ~And to keep me posted on everything. Her real job~ she thought 
to herself. "I bring some more goodies for your team. They are being 
brought down by shuttle as we speak. Tell me of your progress. I know 
it's only been a short time." Carirr came in with a tray of finger food 
and a pitcher of a local juice. She poured two glasses and left 
discretely. "It is going quite well. We will soon be probing these power 
supplies in more detail. Our initial information suggests a 3 fold 
increase in power storage per unit volume." Jae feigned ignorance, and 
let the Bollian talk. She would have her second team review the data and 
what KItt said to make sure everything was on the level. One didn't get 
to her position by trusting just one expert. After some time, "Well 
Professor. That is very interesting. Thank you for the update. I will be 
in town, as it were, for a few days. Perhaps we can go out in a less 
formal setting and discuss this in more detail." "That would be nice," 
he replied. "Excellent," she said as she stood. "I'll mention it to 
Carirr and let her make the necessary arrangements." As she left the 
office, she stopped to talk to Carirr. The woman took notes about the 
dinner and passed a data crystal to her employer. (Reply None) (Posted
