The USS Mihoshi: Science
Thani grinned wide and went to one of the sensor displays.
"Computer, bring up average sensor readings from photon torpedo detonations." The computer did so, showing lines and colors spread across a black graph. "Compare to average sensor readings from quantum torpedo detonations." The chart shrank to one side, leaving half of the display available for another graph with colors less vivid, with much more blue and much higher numbers. Then she turned to Dr Dupont.
"We have centuries of data on photon torpedo explosions, showing high amounts of ion radiation left over from the anti-matter blast. Though we do have decades of data from quantum torpedo tests, and years of data from field use, Our information still has wide gaps in terms of precision and accuracy. What we have so far is high readings of a wide variety of radiation types in amounts difficult to pin down, with lower readings fluoronetic vapor and plasma residue.
Computer, display technical data for USS Mihoshi's short-range sensor systems." Another display shifted, and rotating images of the sensor systems and their locations aboard ship were accompanied by scrolling text on the right with the specific data regarding them. "These new sensors are so precise, we're hoping to be able to actually record the entire process of a quantum torpedo's zero-point energy reaction within the warhead, along with picking out each individual type and amount of radiation released in the detonation. Not only will it be a great test of the sensors, but it might even allow for non-military applications of 11-dimensional membrane technology. Isn't that amazing?" At some point, her attention had shifted back over to the display of the sensor specs and warhead readings.
