After finishing the hookup to her hardware, Faye stood back and took in the scene that was her lab. Her lab. She still got a slight thrill when she said it, and even though she technically might have to share, so far no one had come in to work in here. Either there was no need or people had already figured out not to bother. She admittedly wasn’t worried if the latter was true.

“Not bad at all, Calloway,” she said. Rubbing her hands together she moved to begin tidying up all the bits and pieces and make the room much like any other lab, aside from special equipment hooked up to the the room’s isolated computer core, and some to the rest of the ship. It was time to start testing her hypotheses.

Leaving the lab and locking it, Faye moved through the ship with her toolkit in hand and found the jefferies tube access point she needed.

A few minutes later, the specialist was sitting on the floor of a jefferies tube section and had her case open. Tools in hand, she was working on a particular pathway leading to the computer core. She felt nervous. Understandably so, but at the same time Faye knew there was no help for it. She knew that unless everything went accordingly to plan, it would all blow up in her face. At least at first.

Why did they insist on this ridiculous story? It would have been much easier to just do the work with at least most of the truth on the table and then do the other bit with less sneaking around. But apparently Calloway wasn’t so lucky. No, she was a perpetual guinea pig for people’s whims.

She was about to enter some commands, when her promise to others shifted through her brain. Faye tapped her commbadge. =/\=Calloway to Wynter and Hammor. Be advised that you will notice an increased power draw in Jefferies Tube Section 14-Gamma-3, near computer core 4B. The increase should last about thirty minutes and should not exceed twelve percent. If it does, I intend to shut down the draw, which should be initiated within two minutes of going above the expected draw.=/\= Basically, if she didn’t, there was something wrong.

~Faye Calloway, Data Scientist

Her comms chirped and the voice of the Ops Chief came through. =/\= Copy that, Lieutenant. Twelve percent. If draw exceeds fifteen percent or lasts longer than two minutes, please let me know or I am sending Engineering to check on you. Have fun… =/\=

Hammor, Ops Chief

=/\= Calloway this is Wynter =/\= came through hot on the heels of the Ops chief, =/\= we’re already monitoring you, if you get into difficulties just say so and we can shut down the draw from here from Junction 86. Also, I feel like Pepperoni Pizza today, just saying. Wynter out, and good luck Faye. =/\=

Max switched off the comm with a grin, and turned to his Engineers who had brought up that section on the monitors. Since many parts of the EPS grid had been affected by the trip through the wormhole his team had kept careful watch on the power relays for any signs of stress or fluctuations. Still, any issues with an EPS point was rather serious so he sat back and watched the readings himself.

Faye snorted at the replies and simply went to work. She had no intention of making him pizza, but she also couldn’t entirely predict what would happen. Simulations were simply best guesses at how something could go and it was impossible to account for every single tiny variable, even when you tried your damnedest.

Working with an engineering tricorder and decoupler, she made some fine-tuned changes to the set-up she was about to initialize. Frowning slightly at the readouts, Faye tapped her commbadge. =/\=Calloway to Engineering.=/\=

=/\=Engineering here, go ahead =/\= NE Frankenstein said in his odd swiss like accent as he peered over console readings.

=/\=Can you folks kindly shunt power from junction Section 14-Epsilon-7? Just divert or decrease power flow by about 55% for the next while,=/\= she requested.

~Faye Calloway, Data Scientist

=/\=Can do =/\= came back his answer, and moments later the requested power was diverted from the requested section and into the nearby junctions so as not to degrade the running of the ships functions. NE Frankenstein looked over the energy readings and smiled to himself as the nearby conduits absorbed the extra power, as if they were a living being hungrily feeding on the energy. daydreaming aside, Frankenstein returned to his everyday job.
