“Welcome back, boss!”
Deirdre had just walked in through the doors of Main Engineering, and she looked over and grinned at the owner of the welcoming voice. “Thank you, Bitsi. Are all our people back yet?”
“All but a few, and those stragglers are at least accounted for and on their way,” N'Peeces responded.
“Good, we don't want to leave anyone behind... this time at least,” Deirdre commented as she settled onto a stool. Looking over the status board, she was pleased to see everything still in the green but she nevertheless wanted the numbers. “Plasma generation efficiency in the M/ARA?” She asked.
“96.73 percent,” N'Peeces responded.
“We'll have to tinker with that,” Deirdre muttered. “We can do better. Plasma flow?”
“Unrestricted.”
“Life support?”
“1 part per trillion per hour CO2 molecular addition,” N'Peeces said proudly.
“Really?” Deirdre asked, receiving a nod in response. “Well, those new scrubbers work as well as advertised... for a change. Good. How's the conversion of the filtered carbon to replicator material working?”
“Same as ever,” N'Peeces said. “Amorphous carbon production is at 99.68 percent efficiency, .29 percent of that ends up as graphite so only a .03 percent total inefficiency number.”
“Can still set your watch to it, can't you?” Deirdre joked with a chuckle.
“I could if I ever wore one,” N'Peeces joked back.
“Well, anything out of bounds then?”
“The port side fusion reactor is a little off,” the junior engineer admitted. “Not quite as efficient as the starboard reactor.”
“Problem or still settling?” Deirdre asked.
“Just settling, the efficiency has improved without any additional input since it's been re-activated.” N'Peeces pulled up the data for Deirdre to see. “I think one of the particle accelerators is slightly mis-aligned, not getting the pure impact we look for. Numbers are getting close to maintaining the reaction autonomously nonetheless.”
“Keep an eye on it then,” Deirdre said. “Once we're underway and I figure out what's what with the mission I'll see if we have time to take it offline and work on it.”
“You got it, boss.”
With a sigh Deirdre rose from her seat. “I'm heading to the bridge to get those answers. You have Engineering until Mac gets back.” With that she strode toward the doors.
