Time to put the toys away

[Abe Kas 0]

With the USS Challenger enroute to the Azure Nebula and the Warp engines providing warp 9 speed smoothly due to the outstanding performance of the Engineering crew, Lt. Jg. Abe Kas leaves for the Engineering Lab after notifying Commander Cyiv of the status.

 

 

Under a Yellow Alert, all unnecessary operations and communications are suspended. Abe secures the Risan Holographic Projector in a locker, and tidies up the lab. He prepares a request for Cyiv’s approval to contact Risa and get an owner’s manual for it. Knowing that Risa would want to protect such a unique and valuable item, it would probably ruin the projector if he had tried to replicate it. Risa would have figured out a way to defeat any replication of critical components and the operation system controlling the projector.

 

 

Before he left the lab, he took MCapt. Kimiko’s personal data chip out, and considered what to do with it. Deducing that there would be little risk in replicating these simple data storage devices, and probably not protected by Risan copyright laws, he scanned it for future replication.

 

 

All finished in the lab, he pocketed the projector data chip to return to MCapt. Kimiko. It was time to get back to MENG. He looked back into the lab as he exited, thinking about returning soon to explore the capabilities of this new piece of technology, and smiled, glad that he had joined Star Fleet after so many years of working on his family’s transport ship, the ECS Fortunate II. He never would have had a chance to challenge his engineering skills with opportunities like this.
