Unfortunately, it doesn't take long to read everything in the data base. Crossing his fingers and making it up as he goes he opens the comm channel, "Um, this is the Engineer speaking Rosalee's Bloomers. I think we've got your problem nailed down. First, let's start by easing back the engine and powering down non-essential systems--kill the sensors, weapons, whatever you use to do your mining stuff, nav, entertainment whatever else you can live with out. Oh but keep comms! And um just enough life support for you and whatever crew you've got. Can you open a engineering diagnostic data link on channel 6 Oh 7? Then we can see what's going on as the system powers down and make sure nothing catastrophic is happening." He kills the external comm for a sec. "Hey ah Zoe, if you can watch that data link most of the ratings are in the red, but if the alpha band starts to exceed 350 or the unspent power spikes to more than double, you better put our engines into emergency override power and hang on. This could get ugly." </blockquote>
