Upon seeing the Commodore, Admiral, and Hale, Lieutenant Commander Winters stops in his tracks, "Oh," he mutters in surprise.
It takes him a moment to gather his thoughts, clutching the padd close to his chest, he looks down and remembers his purpose coming here. "Sorry to intrude, but Lieutenant Singh has proposed an idea that could improve sensors, much like he did with the Enterprise." He hands the padd over to Commodore Rardon.
As she first looks at it, he continues, "Downside is the sensors would have to be minimized while the work is being done, apparently about 50-75% of current sensor range for the 1 to 2 day upgrade. I figure now, before we really start getting into the thick of things, that can be accommodated."

"Really, how much further will it extend our sensors out?", the Commodore says as picks up the teapot and with a motion asks if Steven would like a cup.
Admiral Kiel's ears perk up when Steven talks about upgrading the sensors. She reaches her hand out towards Steven to recieve the PADD in his hands.

"Any number right now would be pure conjecture," Winters said with a dismissive shake of the head, holding up his palm in a stopping motion to refuse the offer of tea. After handing off the padd to Admiral Kiel, of which his hands shook ever so slightly at the exchange, he continued, "Lieutenant Singh did similar work on the Enterprise which improved sensor efficiency by 10%, but it'd be difficult to have a definitive number without actually making the adjustments first. Chicken and the egg, really. Wait, no, not like that at all actually."

Hale liked Steven's idea. He didn't know much about the Lt. Commander, but the man seemed to know his engineering. He decided to add his own voice to the discussion. "I might point out that from a tactical perspective, an improvement to our sensor systems and their efficiency could possibly translate into improved efficiency and accuracy with our weapon systems as well."

Admiral Kiel hands the PADD over to the Commodore for her to review. "This is interesting, but beyond my knowledge of the sensor systems. But the schematics are just a plan to upgrade the port sensor array to test the theory."
The Commodore scans the PADD for a couple of minutes, looking at the schematic. "This is beyond me also. If this looks possible Steven, go ahead and put it into your work schedule."
"Also Steven, there will be a Senior Staff meeting in the Breifing Room at 1700 with Admiral Sa'avik for a overbriefing on the Gorn. Hopefully, we might have an update on the Discovery and the Diplomatic Team on Cestus III."

"It will take us two days to reach Starbase 39-Sierra at normal cruise speed. We are expecting to stay at the Starbase for two hours to take on more supplies and from there, it will take about 18 hours to reach the borders of the Gorn Confederacy. ", the Commodore states, then takes a small sip of her tea.
"Once we reach the borders, we are to head to Cestus III and see if the diplomatic team has any success in contacting the Gorn Imperator."
OOC: The Gorn territory falls below the klingon section that is just below the triangle where the Romulan, Klingon and UFP borders meet.

"Then I can confidently say that we should have this changes to the port sensor arrays up and active before we reach the diplomatic team, possibly before Starbase 39-Sierra. I'll go inform my team. Sirs," Winters waits until being properly dismissed, and as soon as he is, he leaves the room and makes to leave the bridge, aimed to go to Engineering.
So far the Ascendant had kept him busy and active, as busy as when he was building the boat, and they hadn't even left Sector 001 yet.
