Mission: Fractured Fairy Tales
Location: Guest quarters

Thex was whistling to herself slightly as she walked along the guest floor corridor. SHe had a padd under her arm with the information they had gathered from the scans of the bracelets and now she had to ask the questions to how to finish the puzzle. Turning the corner she was slightly surprised to see her own quad mate posing a single solitary guard instead of the usual Amazon ontarauge.

" Hello love what are you doing here." She said walking over and giving her quad mate a slight kiss and a hug.

" Guard duty. The two who were supposed to be here are down in medical. " Thav says as he returned his quadmates greetings.

" Let me guess pregnancies?" Thex asked pretty sure of the answer.

" Yup. Rita getting a few more down here in a few minutes so I'll probably be gone by the time you're done."

" I'll see you later then. " Thex said stepping to the door and answering the security question that allowed her into the room. " Hello, Hera how are you this fine morning." She asked as she stepped into the room.

The matronly goddess looked up from her current bit of light reading and smiled, setting her book aside and standing to greet her friend. "Thex, how are you? You look positively radiant!"

" Oh, I'm just great other than the girls keeping me up at night with the munchies. " the sapphire engineer said patting her belly slightly. " How about yourself?"

Hera grinned wider at the good news. "I've been learning how to sleep regularly to conserve and replenish energy. My new bed is very comfortable. Thank you. May I offer you something to eat? I have some pastries in the kitchen if you'd like some."

" That's good and yes I'd love a pastry. " Thex said as she pulled out the padd. " I was hoping you could help us with something. We've been running some test on the bracelets you gave to Ethel Jablonski and we were hoping you could answer some questions about them."

Hera retrieved a plate of the assorted pastries and handed them off to Thex as she took the PaDD to look it over, her eyebrows raising in interest. "It seems I underestimated Starfleet scientific knowledge and ingenuity just a little. You have my apologies. What is it you need help with?"

" Well, we've worked out quite a bit. We've mapped out the circuitry and how they work. It's recreating them that's the problem. We understand that when a bracer opens a 4th-dimensional pocket space, it creates thus it's own bubble of spacetime, connected to the continuum the bracer exists in, but impossible to access by any other, even in the same spacetime frame. The very act of opening creates a specific one each time. " The sapphire girl explained.

" Now we probably could replicate this with our current tech, but it wouldn't be very practical. Any way of helping us replicate them would be gratefully appreciated."

"If I'm reading this right, the issue is linking the operations interface to the actual generator and dumping the generator into the null space it creates when it's first created, right?" Hera mused for a moment, tapping at the PaDD a bit more. "And that your manufacturing processes aren't nearly as efficient as they could be. My personal devices can store far more than the 127 kilos that the amazonian ones can. Their process was more efficient and that was their upper limit. Yours with these readouts... I would estimate about twenty three kilos before the N space collapses in on itself."

The matronly goddess then tapped out a few formulas to help them along. "That should help with initial charging and creation of the N space. It makes a fairly large pop though, so be sure to stand back."

Thex nodded as she looked at the results on the padd. This could work though she would like to test it on an asteroid before doing it inside the ship. Better safe than sorry. " Yeah, this looks like it will work. I'll need to run some simulations first, but it should work. Thanks, Hera."

"You are very welcome. Just don't tell anyone you got any of that from me, ok? It's a violation of our version of the prime directive." Hera winked conspiratorially.

" I'll keep that in mind. " Thex said as she pocket the padd into her uniform pocket. " I'm sure that tech is going to come in handy. I'm sure the amazons will be happy."

"I'd like to think so," Hera replied. "As much as I miss having my followers, I don't miss the fanaticism that came with them. Every time they created something like this, they prayed and had a small ceremony. It was nice enough, but... I know now that that is not the kind of energy I need to be running on."

" I hope you don't mind me saying, but it almost sounds like you were addicted to the energy it produced. " Thex replied.

The matronly goddess nodded solemnly. "You're probably correct. If you had suggested such to me at the time, I would have turned you into an ice weasel. Now... Well... I just want to help where and how I am able."

" Well, you're doing great and I appreciate not being turned into an ice weasel. I know me and my quad will be forever grateful for the help with these two you've provided even if it is the background you provided," Thex said her hand going over belly again.

"You're very welcome. If there's anything I can do to help, anything at all... You have but to name it." Hera rested one hand gently on Thex's shoulder as she smiled motherly. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

" Nothing I can think off at the moment. Just keep an eye on the girls and tell me if I need to do something to help them." Thex replied. " It's nice to have a motherly figure around. Espicly as my own would have a fit over the child been genetically altered or part anear. Still, I have half a million task to be doing. I'll see you later." The chief engineer said as she headed for the door.
