Ne’Arrain R’Tor t’Bat’ok’s log

 

As R’Tor entered the armory she looked around the room.   Having been her first visit to the armory she wasn’t sure what to expect when she got there.  Having an engineering tool kit in one hand and an ISD containing the information she wanted, she noted a table and moved over to it to claim it as a temporary work bench.  After getting the toolkit set down and opened she turned to the ISD.  Looking over the data on the hand held explosive she was to modify and moving to the locker that the devices were suppose to be in she began her task.  “Computer engage a level 5 force field around the armory” she commanded, not wanting a device to explode and take out that area of the ship while she was modifying it.

 

Opening the locker revealed several of the devices.  The devices were cylindrical in shape with a length of approximately 10 inches and diameter was about 3 inches.  Grabbing the nearest one she then turned and headed over to the table.  Setting the device down she then looked around for a chair.  Finding one that was across the room she walked over to it picking it up and moving it over to the table.  After getting settled in the chair, she picked up an engineering tricorder and scanned the device.  Removing the control unit from the device allowed her remove the explosive component from the tube.  Getting the component out she set it on the table off to the side.  This left her with a tube and a control unit.  Now all she had to do was modify the device to some how come open so the gas could escape, be controllable from the ship, and to be silent enough not to alert the klingons.  The control unit had a wire that would send a spark to the explosive component when the unit was activated.  That could be used as a power surge to some sort of mechanism to open up the device.

 

“Placing some very small amounts of the explosive component near the ends of the canister to blow the ends off would allow the gas to escape but it would create a noise and a flash.” She muttered to herself.  Feeling that the problem of being controllable from the ship would be an easier task to achieve, she started to look over the control unit.  

 

After a good visual inspection, she decided that placing a receiver in each of the control units all to different frequencies would be the best way to go.  Getting up she went over to the replicator and began to insert the instruction to replicate a receiver that could receive a signal from the ship and then send out a signal to the device it is mounted on.  After it materialized she set the program to replicate enough of the receivers for the rest of the devices to be modified.  Walking back to the table she sat down again and then turned her attention to the receiver.  Manually she set the receiver to a frequency.  Grabbing the padd she created a chart to record the device number and the frequency it is programed with.  Setting the padd down she then etched the frequency into the tube the control unit is to be attached to.  

 

Picking up the control unit she then attached the receiver between the power source and the wire to set off the explosives.  Turning back to the problem of letting the gas out and not having anything that would alert the klingons she sat there looking over the tube.  Looking over to the end sitting on the table she began to wonder about a mechanism that would push the ends out.  Going over to the replicator again she then replicated two solid rods just slightly shorter than half the length of the tube and a hollow pipe of titanium just big enough to fit an end of each rod inside leaving a slight gap between the ends.  Taking the pieces back to the table she then cut a small piece of the explosive compound.  

 

Taking the pipe she drilled a small hole that was roughly equal distance from each end.  She inserted the wire that would ignite the explosive into the hole she drilled and then sautered the wire in place.  Placing one rod into the pipe she then made sure that the device was switched to off before putting the compound in the other end, pushing it to the end of the rod already inserted in the pipe with the remaining rod.  Taking the end of the tube sitting on the table she then fastened it to the end of one of the rods.  Sliding the rods and wire into the tube she then placed the cap back on the device.  

 

Grabbing the ISD again she then made notes of the modifications.   Walking over to the console she then placed a memo to medical letting them know what was done to the device.

MEMO

 

To: Medical

 

By: Ne’Arrain t’Bat’ok

 

Topic: Modified explosive devices.

 

The modified devices have had a receiver chip inserted, each with a different frequency, and the explosives removed.  The tube is empty awaiting to be filled with the biological agent to be used on the Klingons.  The devices will be transported to Medical from the armory as I modify them.  After the biological agent has been added and the open end sealed, they should be ready to be used for the mission.

Finishing the memo she then placed the first modified device on a small issue transporter and transported it to Medical.  Walking back to the weapons locker she continued on her task of modifying enough devices for the mission.
