Unless Tia had a way of getting around those problems then her idea would have to be a “no” from Glen.

Dol looked between Glen then Tia, “..I get the sense both of you are thinking on something?” he queried.

“My apologies,” Glen told the Dol. “May we have another private moment? I’m not sure what my CE has in mind, but I am bound by certain rules, as I’m sure you can understand?”

”..Of course Captain Glen. I will be over here reviewing some shift reports..” he said moving away out of hearing range to give them privacy and to review a paper print out nearby.

Once the Dol was out if earshot, Glen spoke to Tia, “What were you thinking of, telling him that we can provide something that would make Habitat construction a bit easier for him? We could never leave them a replicator or the matter/antimatter reactor that would be required to power it! If Starfleet found out, I’d be busted down to Ensign!”

Then Glen remembered that the Dol had said that the entire Habitat was powered by a fusion reactor, and that their fusion reactor technology was years ahead of the Federation. It was possible that a Replicator could be powered by a fusion reactor, if of sufficient power. It might also be possible to have a Replicator adapted so that it had some kind of “child-lock” restrictions to prevent the opening of doors that should remain closed; the manufacture of restricted technology, regulated weapons and controlled materials. Such a Replicator, that only made Habitat construction materials, might be allowed, but Glen still had no authority to give one. Anyhow, locks can be picked, and technology back-engineered. He decided that it was still a proposition he would need to turn down.
