Setting:USS ANUBIS, Turbolift
Mattias Norheim looked over his Quantum Theory notes. The science was
never entirely understood by anyone, but Mattias had enough understanding of
the theory, and coupled with the ships on board computer was enough to work
out some problems. He enjoyed the subject as it was both challenging and
had the potential to open new doors for sentient life. The turbolift stopped
and the doors opened. He started down the hall towards where his quarters were. His notes contained the beginings of a quantum transporter, a project that he worked on in his spare time, even though he knew he would probabley
never finish it. Using the law of quantum super position, the EPR, Bell's
theorm, and a lot of other things, it is theoreticlly possible to transport an
object from one point to another at any point in time. If a conflict
broke out any where in the universe, an entire fleet could be in the area at
the exact moment the fighting started, ready to fight as soon as they
arrive. It was terribely complicated and would take decades, even centuries to
complete. Mattias arrived at his quarters and set his notes down.
"Computer, Good Times, Bad Times, by Led Zeppelin, 75 percent volume."
Mattias opened his boxes and started putting things away, including his
four pet goldfish: Odeseus, Ajax, Achilles, and Marshmellow.
After unpacking, he decided to go to his computer and upload his files
to the ships computer. One of which was a file for Romulan Ale, except for
the 10% difference. While Romulan Ale, one of his favorites, was not
allowed, his file was for Matomulan Ale, which had an added a few tastless
vitamins and nutriants in the recipe so that it was different enough to escape
Starfleets scurtiney aswell as lessening the resulting hangover. Even
though it was unlikely to be caught, he sent it to the ship's medical computer
and bounced it to the replicators menu, and erased the copy in the medical
files. As the ships Asst.CEO, he had the power to run a tests on the
ships computer system. He ran tests on all systems in the same folder as
prohib.sens program, which controls which content can be sent to the
replicator and holodeck, and came up with nothing.
That done, he decided to go to the holodeck and start his favorite
program, but before he could leave, he heard a costum chime. He had replaced the old door chime with the tune to Black Dog.
"Enter," he said, wondering who would know he was here. The door opened
to reveal a large figure whereing an engineer's uniform. Mattias stood as
the giant spoke.
"Hello Ensign Norheim, I am Lt J.G. Elan Fairborn." Elan held out his
hand. Mattias stepped up to the Oltharian and shook his hand, mouth slightley
agape at the size of him. Elan smiled, "I assure you that I dont bite."
The comparativley puny Nord closed his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, its
just that... sorry."
"Not a problem. It happens a lot. I just stopped by to introduce
myself. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"I will remember that, thank you."
