About the beam-cannon project—[ST:n ]is there any way we can push the output up another 800 G's?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 2 |
|
qev087503_MSG0002 |
I know it's a lot...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 3 |
|
qev087503_MSG0003 |
But if we can manage it,[ST:n ]I think we could punch through Ganglion armor![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 4 |
|
qev087503_MSG0004 |
You want another 800 gigawatts' continuous output?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 5 |
|
qev087503_MSG0005 |
Yep![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 6 |
|
qev087503_MSG0006 |
Well, theoretically...sure.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 7 |
|
qev087503_MSG0007 |
Buuuut, what? There's some kind of practical hurdle?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 8 |
|
qev087503_MSG0008 |
Exactly.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 9 |
|
qev087503_MSG0009 |
More output requires plasma maintained[ST:n ]at higher degrees of excitation.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 10 |
|
qev087503_MSG0010 |
That, in turn, requires a more efficient magnetic trap.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 11 |
|
qev087503_MSG0011 |
Ah, right.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 12 |
|
qev087503_MSG0012 |
I'd love to see it happen,[ST:n ]but Earth's technology just isn't there yet.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 13 |
|
qev087503_JNK0010 |
Agree |
| 14 |
|
qev087503_SEL0011 |
Console Lin on the end of her good idea. |
| 15 |
|
qev087503_JNK0020 |
Disagree |
| 16 |
|
qev087503_SEL0021 |
Point out that you are no longer ON Earth. |
| 17 |
|
qev087503_MSG0013 |
Thanks...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 18 |
|
qev087503_MSG0014 |
Back up a minute.[ST:n ]Why give up just because Earth didn't have the technology?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 19 |
|
qev087503_MSG0015 |
Remember where we are now.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 20 |
|
qev087503_MSG0016 |
That's a fair point.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 21 |
|
qev087503_MSG0017 |
It's true that Earth may not have possessed this technology...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 22 |
|
qev087503_MSG0018 |
but Mira could be a different story.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 23 |
|
qev087503_MSG0019 |
I don't follow.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 24 |
|
qev087503_MSG0020 |
Oh, I get it! She means xeno tech![ST:n ]We've got all kinds of races here on Mira.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 25 |
|
qev087503_MSG0021 |
One of them might have a solution![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 26 |
|
qev087503_MSG0022 |
Oh. Yeah, that...makes sense.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 27 |
|
qev087503_MSG0023 |
What is that?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 28 |
|
qev087503_MSG0024 |
One of the Ganglion's Skells.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 29 |
|
qev087503_MSG0025 |
We confirmed that this model is outfitted[ST:n ]with a high-output beam cannon.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 30 |
|
qev087503_MSG0026 |
And it's almost a certainty that[ST:n ]their capacitors are better than ours.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 31 |
|
qev087503_MSG0027 |
So if we can analyze them...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 32 |
|
qev087503_MSG0028 |
Right. We might be able to find a solution[ST:n ]to our magnetic-trap problem.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 33 |
|
qev087503_MSG0029 |
Come on, guys.[ST:n ]We've got a giant laser to hunt down![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 34 |
|
qev087503_MSG0030 |
Qmoevan capacitors are hi-spec Ganglion items.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev087503_MSG0031 |
You should be able to get them from Qmoevas[ST:n ]in Oblivia.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev087503_MSG0032 |
Hmm, let's see. Could I ask you to go collect three of[ST:n ]those Qmoevan capacitors now for analysis?[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev087503_MSG0033 |
We're talking about an extra 800 gigawatts here.[ST:n ]Just solving the magnetic-trap issue isn't going to get[ST:n ]you the giant beam weapon you want.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev087503_MSG0034 |
I recommend you talk to Brenna about the other issues.[ST:n ]She's another engineer here.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev087503_MSG0035 |
She's stubborn as a rock, but incredibly competent.[ST:n ]I'm sure her insights will be of use.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev087503_MSG0036 |
Best of luck to you! What you're trying takes guts,[ST:n ]and I'm behind you one hundred percent.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev087503_MSG0037 |
So Brenna's on board with your new weapon-[ST:n ]development project?[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev087503_MSG0038 |
Ha! It would take somebody as passionate as Lin to[ST:n ]get that stubborn girl to help. I'm impressed.[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev087503_MSG0039 |
Now why don't you go show Commander Vandham[ST:n ]what that passion has wrought?[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev087503_MSG0040 |
Did you need me?[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev087503_MSG0041 |
I thought Brenna said she had you off gathering[ST:n ]something for her.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev087503_MSG0042 |
I'll be here. Why don't you take care of that first,[ST:n ]then come back and see me?[ST:wait ] |
