T’Mor was uncertain of this small cylindrical container. She wasn’t even sure she was holding it right as she brought it down to engineering.

Transporter patterns and their retrieval were things she only knew the basics of. In her Transporter Operations class at the academy, her professor had pointed out that she had ‘received the lowest grade ever given to a Vulcan’ in said class. T’Mor set it down somewhere on a empty console and stepped back so the others could also investigate. She set her tricorder to detect for any additional contents of the container and scanned it from a distance.

A close scan of the container showed three things:
1. It held a much greater energy store than might be typical of a normal memory storage unit, one that, if explosive in nature could do significant, if localized damage.
2. It did appear to have a largesse of memory storage, much more than was perhaps typical of a Starfleet memory receptacle.
3. It was also emitting a diffusion field that was making points 1 and 2 to be difficult to read - at least with an accuracy that they would like.

What they could see visibly was that on the base end there was a standard Starfleet coupling that would attach to it’s mate, often found in places where such devices might be used: the computer core, engineering, holodeck ..

T’Mor ceased her tricorder scan. She took a noticeable step backwards from the device and looked toward Petrov.

Petrov was perturbed.

“I guess this ship never learns. The last time I had to save the ship from “investigating an unknown device” order. We should jettison it off the bow.” Mike said.

He remember too well if he had not taken the right precautions the last device almost killed them all.

“As it is its a memory storage device with a high capability and most likely an explosive danger. Take it in the test chamber, put a force field around it and manipulate it from there.” Petrov ordered. However he had no intentions of doing it himself. He liked his limbs and life.

“Potentially explosive,” she confirmed with a slight nod. She spent a few moments staring at the container in silence, taking a few deliberate deep breaths.

“If that is the case,” she continued, putting away the tricorder, “We should proceed with caution, lest we damage the container’s data.”

or ourselves she thought.

With help from a few other ensign engineers, she gingerly carried the container to the test chamber and they began to set up a force field around the device.
