Liara listened to the discussion; the science officer and his assistant, the EEH.  All discussing what they thought was the most logical solution to the problem but missing one extremely simple point.....they did not have enough information to make a valid assessment of the facts.  Liara had always been about the numbers.  Numbers flowed through her mind like water and she absorbed every bit.  Engineering came as natural to her as numbers and breathing, and she had learned a long time ago that a lack of information regarding any engineering problem can be catastrophic.  While engineers like Chief O'Brien and Jordi La Forge may have treated engineering as an art, it still all came down the the numbers, and they were missing quite a few.<br/><br/>Running some calculations on the computer, based on the data that they had collected for the planet and for the armbands, Liara programmed the computer to replace the astrometric hologram with a representation of the armband on a uniformed starfleet model.  "What we have here gentlemen is a lack of information"  She looked at Dun and the science officers but made sure to look past the photonic man.  "We have no idea what type of chroniton radiation we are dealing with and apparently it is much different than what we have dealt with in the past.  The armbands will not work unless we are dealing with a temporal anomaly.  There is nothing saying however that we can't develop a mechanism which uses multiphasic shield harmonics to protect us.  The computer could run the calculations on how to build the mechanism to the size of a tri-corder or armband if we gave it the proper specifics."  She rubbed her eyes, the numbers were a strain and she honestly realized that she would prefer being in Engineering learning the new Power Distribution system.  "We need more information before we can proceed.  Perhaps the Intrepid has made more detailed scan's since we left spacedock."
