El pulled the paneling under the targeting console and started looking for anything redundant. Her mind swam with the wiring diagrams which didn’t yield anything useful to her. But maybe there was something extraneous she could use that would tie in with a redundant feed from the bridge. The trouble would be .. where might that go that she’d have to trace. It was worth a shot anyway as she felt rather useless otherwise.

OOC: Tying this into events on the bridge....

Unfortunately there wasnt any nearby cabling data feed system that could handle the data lines needed for the complex tactical targeting data from the bridge to the armory. The most obvious answer temporarily would be to run a huge data line from the tactical console from the bridge, down the side of the turboliftt to this deck, cut a hole in the wall panel from there then run the cable down the corridor into the armory and to the fire control station here. But again they did not have enough high capacity spare cabling to make such a long cable run!

While El was finishing up her work NE Harry spoke from nearby. “..Huh seems we got company, three earth cargo freighters showed up on scans, they’re holding position about 30 meters off our bow..” he said.

”..Odd to have three show up like this though, no real trade runs out this way that I recall..” NE Biff replied.
