=^=How long do you estimate before the lights turn off?=^= Jason asked him.

Jason Harn, XO

=/\=Rough estimate on the generators sir, a couple hours. I might be able to get some more time if I can find something to turn off.=/\=

Kolar looked over, he was running his statistics on the biology of the natives… “They are definitely Iconian genes in the mix. How much the computer will report… in time.”

“However that time may not come as you have noted the fusion generators have less than (two hours) of power. They are going to need a boost… if we ant to keep running the ship at the current power expenditures.

=^=Let’s see, if it a matter of power, we could beam down one of the ship’s batteries, do you think it will be compatible?=^= Jason pondered as he started brainstorming. He had initially considered taking an engine core out of a shuttle, but the derelict didn’t need that much power, did it?

Jason Harn, XO, revising his original post

=/\=I’ll check. If not, there’s always the possibility of an adapter.=/\=

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

Kolar kept quiet about that, the officers had the power issue in hand. Although a battery probably would be insufficient as a power replacement for fusion generator.

=^=Would the engine core from one of the Dragoon’s shuttles be compatible?=^= Jason asked as he continued to brainstorm. He was clearly just spit balling ideas right now.

Jason Harn, XO

=/\=Now you’re talking about mixing and matching systems. It’s possible, but there’s likely a lot of rigging involved. A battery buys us three hours. Enough time to restart main power. Not all systems, just the main power core. Computers, life support, and base electricity would default to using that. The ship itself stays mostly as it is, but we’re not on a constant deadline.=/\=

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

Jason glanced over at Kolar before responding. =^=It sounds like you’ll need the Dragoon’s batteries beamed over to you in any case if you don’t want to be working in the dark. Send us a list of what you need and we’ll beam it down to you.=^=

Jason Harn, XO

Kolar shrugged his wasn’t an engineer, “Three hours on a battery might be on the high side, but whatever it is, it sounds like we are going to have to replace the fusion-able material in the engine, then restart it. If we had to do it on a star-ship that would take an hour at least and we know what we are doing with that.” He tilted his head. “I’m glad I’m up here when they try it.”
