===/\=== Briefing Room ===/\=== Z sat next to the ships CMO, LtCmdr Rangi Summers, as the CO Col Keylor basically reported info on the current situation. He also was requesting status reports and info gathered about there adversaries thus far. Z quietly sat and waited, wondering why in the world he was here. The average rank in the room appeared to be well above LT. So why in the world was an enlisted Technician requested for. Z and Cpl Johnson had figured out how to deal with the phase variance in the alien's technology. That and recently he applied it to the capture of the alien now in a holding cell. But either of those situations had a higher ranking officer that could report the results to the command staff directly. As he sat there deep in thought the CMO, (like the CO which had just returned from a very rough away mission by what Zack was told) shot a friendly smile his direction. He pulled himself back fully to the here and now and returned the informal greeting to her. That greeting was very beneficial to Z as Keylor began speaking to Z about the alien technology. He wanted Z to report first. Zackary stood and informed the officers of the use of a metaphasic field to phase the alien into there space and then flood it with anti protons to suspend it here. "This also has the added bonus of physically incapacitating any aliens without killing them, Or at-least it has proven to be that way with our initial...subject." He looked to the CMO and gave a quirky smile. "As for how that fits in with the quantum torpedo, I am not sure. But with aspects to the station a similar operation to that of deck elevens capture procedure could be performed. We would need a little time and some precise implementation to affect that much area." Morgan then stepped and stated that was the end of his report and recommendations. After that the XO looked to the CO and stood, he went on to state the ships alert status and that escorts for non essential crew movement was mandatory. Z didn't worry about that as some of the others, (by looking at there expressions anyways) because he would likely be run around the ship trying to implement whatever course of action was going to be taken. Zack waited patiently for the meetings conclusion and a plan to be pointed out. If no plan was named at the moment he intended to go to the aliens holding cell and assist Pvt. Rose with the interrogation...or communication attempt. Things could be unpredictable ******************************************************* Tcn Zackary Morgan ODA Engineering Specialist USS Chimera
