Field Testing

Assistant Security Officer’s Log:

 

After Mr. Dana completed the design for the cannons we (that is, ensign Hopefully Not Too Flammable, his team, and I) conducted a series of tests with them on the holodeck. As the senior officer, I was the first to test the device. With the holodeck simulating the atmosphere’s nebula, I aimed the cannon at practice targets, first with the voice command, and then with the manual controls.

 

The presence of the Class-M atmosphere in the nebula (both in reality and simulation) made the shells a bit sluggish. It took a couple of tries before I could automatically compensate for the lag.

 

My team members did not fare quite so well. They were able to hit maybe 1 in 7 targets. Ensign HNTF somehow managed to ignite the gunpowder during the loading process and ended up needing to be emergency-beamed to sick bay.

 

I believe that the cannons will be formidable weapons, provided the person firing them is skilled in their use.

 

Personal Log:

 

After the official tests were finished and my team was dismissed, I took the liberty of using the holodeck and the cannons to simulate firing tribbles from the cannons. The furry entities emitted a very satisfying and high-pitched surprised noise as they were flung from the cannon. I only wish I had been alive in the time where the Klingon Empire invaded and destroyed the tribble homeworld. Maybe I should create a holodeck program recreating that glorious battle.
