Dun knew that the most important thing about his position was how to listen and incorporate the ideas that were being voiced and to be able to press forward and present the captain with the requested solutions or a way to get there.  The best thing he could do at this time was speak, because speaking allowed him to formulate his ideas from the different array of what he was hearing in opinion.  One thing he knew foremost, that Lugus and Liara hit upon the uncertainty aspect and did so with out discounting the other information being discussed.<br/><br/>Liara, though, was not handling something well and Dun was uncertain what exactly was going on.  He did know that it was not uncommon for people to act adversely to holograms in an intellectual sort of way.  The only reason this came to mind was the way she looked at the EEH and then subsequently ignored it.  Then, in leaving the room, so stepped in and towards it, forcing it back a step as she excused herself.<br/><br/>"Well, I will need to step out here in a moment," Dun nodded towards the now closing doors of the lab.  "But for your consideration, let me say this.  Without proper scans of the particles in with which we are dealing with, we can not truly know how to respond.  Multiphasic Shielding will buffer us from the emissions, from where ever they derive.  So, when we arrive, we will send out a probe with our shields up so we can gather more information, as Lt Lugus and Ensign Kroken has suggested.  Once we have the data and some of these chronitrons to analyze, we can then make a more informed decision.<br/><br/>"One thing is for certain.  The multiphasic shielding will be impossible to sustain on a personal or portable nature due to energy requirements.  A harmonic field may expose the party initially to particles before the field itself can adapt, which is a risk we can not afford to take due to uncertainty.  I am not against the idea of subspace manipulation, but I have not heard enough yet to know that its a viable option.<br/><br/>"My only idea so far is taking one of these particles and replicating our own copy with the Gatekeeper Array.  Then, with a personal holographic emitter, we could possibly overlay each individual with a life like representation of the particle we have replicated for each person so that the chronitrons merely bounce away from them when they come in contact with them.... It would require some phasic manipulation and the energy requirements might get tricky..."<br/><br/>Dun drifted off into silence that had built up around him thick like a winters hard snow.  It was cold too.  He could feel the depth and breadth of the amassed knowledge about him as he gave his own idea weight.  He did not even know if it could work.  One thing he did know, was that he needed to check on Liara.<br/><br/>"If you all will excuse me..." Dun nodded to them all and headed into the corridor.<br/><br/><<Headed to corridor thread after Liara>>
