Pakled Engineering Approach

::In her quarters, preparing the Engineering Report on the Waste Systems, sitting in front of her computer terminal.::

 

"It wasn't a difficult problem to solve. Heck, my engineering tests in my sophomore year at the Packled Service School on Kalla III were harder. I'll just put in a sub-routine to initiate transfers based on the temperature to where it should be, about 30 degrees Celsius, to start the program cycling and treating the bio waste matter and sending it to the Replicators."

 

"But what a mess this ship is in," thought Asyle, "I couldn't say anything to Commander Admiran in front of his other staff without making them look…humpf…as stupid as some of my old Pakled male classmates."

 

"Putting in a Boganary cloaking system with a Federation redundant plasma power system, without a Harmonic Overflow Plasma Escape system! Don't they know about the Klingon power systems they use? A lot less computers, and a lot more mechanical control systems. If there's anything the Klingons are good at, besides weapons, is making their ships reliable and strong."

 

"How am I going to tell him that without H.O.P.E., he's going to have problem after problem keeping that thing running smoothly…"

 

"Computer, begin recording."

RE: Waste Reclamation Recommendations

 

1. Current Status: High temperature readings, in excess of 40 degrees Celsius, in current waste holding tanks indicate a high rate of decomposition into various ammonia and sulfuric compounds. Pressure relief systems are venting frequently. Current system initiates only when volume parameters are met.

 

2. Desired Status: Temperature readings should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius in waste holding tanks.

 

3. Recommendation: Increase frequency of cycling waste holding tanks to replicator biomaterial sub-systems. Those systems are designed to break down the compounds into their separate elements, and store them appropriately until needed.

 

4. Requirement: Access to Level 4 command sub-routines in Waste Reclamation and Replicator systems to modify programs to establish temperature parameters in addition to the current volume parameters. Set a 30 degree Celsius temperature threshold to initiate matter transfer between systems, and increase amount of storage for Replicator biomaterial. Estimated time to complete and test new configurations, 1 day.

 

5. Expected Results: Replicator biomaterial inventory levels will increase allowing for larger orders and larger items to be filled quickly, instead of being scheduled for a delayed delivery. Waste Holding tanks will be emptied more frequently, and less venting will occur, if at all.
