Garnoopy, Ohno, and I tested the phase cloak live today on a shuttlecraft. We were under cloak for two minutes and fifteen seconds. All system diagnostics reported normal or within acceptable parameters at start and finish of the test, except the phase coil resonation.

 

I got a high but still acceptable reading of the phase coil resonation before starting the test. The range should have been within 142 and 365 Miranders amplitude, and we were hovering around 360 at the start of the test. The resonance remained a steady 363 from the time the cloak was engaged until the moment we decloaked, and then spiked to 427 with a simultaneous shudder of the shuttle.

 

I have yet to determine the cause of the spike, or the high resonance in the phase coil system once the Phase Cloak was installed. A quick scan of the phase coil assembly indicated that the spike had damaged the integrity of the coils themselves, so for safety they must be replaced before the shuttle is used again, with or without the phase cloak.

 

No other system in the shuttle has yet shown signs of damage from the experiment. The personnel aboard seemed likewise uninjured, though I will add on a personal note that I felt a little shaky upon exiting the shuttle. This could perhaps have been unrelated to the phase cloak, however.

 

I will continue working to find the cause of the failure, and a solution.
