(USS Illuminar-- Deck 11 —  Main Engineering -- EO — Ensign Bohb— 1405)

Bohb had been sitting at the terminal for nearly two hours.  It was the longest he’d been still since he came aboard the Illuminar.  Which was good since he didn’t really think well sitting still.  But what he was doing now required patience and perseverance.  It also required him to look more deeply into crystal harmonics and energy transfer.  He needed to find the answer to Luma’s imprisonment in the Illuminar, and the unlikely need for her evacuation if something happened to the ship.  He did tend to be a little obsessive when solving a problem.

His comm badge chirped grabbing his attention.  It was Skashe Winters.  Bohb smiled as the boy reminded him of another Winters from a long time ago.  He had the same attitude as Vanessa.

=^=The Captain was right, you can make those modifications to the bomblets he suggested. It should nearly double the explosive yield according to my calculations. Reconfiguring the detonator to use the Selenium isotope will improve the sub-atomic fission reaction resulting in a 'canberium cascade' effect that will juice it significantly.=^=

Bohb humphed then tapped his badge, “That is … good news? ”  Did they really need these things to be more destructive.

=^=His defensive countermeasure scheme looks to be good as well. According to the H= H⁰ + Hđ formula changing the magnetic field of the hull to 135⁷- 157³ Mh range will repel the bomblets rather than attract them.=^=

Now Skashe was talking his language, “So your use of the null hypothesis lead you to the range of of magnetic field variance?  But can they change the magnetic field used by smaller mines remotely?"

=^=That only applies if they catch on to what we are doing. Reconfiguring the magnetic field the bomblets operate on won't be a quick or simple undertaking. If they realize their weapon won't function properly in a battle they will essentially be useless.=^=

Bohb nodded, “That is better news than making them more dangerous.  That is, of course, if we don’t just run into them."

=^=I'm just about to send the report to him. If you want to wait on his go-ahead feel free, I'm just a minion.=^=

Bohb shook his head.  “You are far more than that kid,” he said to himself and the monitor.

He tapped his com badge.  “Bohb to Matrix I have a little project for you if you’re up for it.”
