Re: Peltas Five Station
Both seemed to ignore his side mumblings, focusing instead on various tasks in analyzing the data they had regarding the anomaly. Everything went smoothly for a while, though eventually there was a strange sound from Draven, who then called over to both Talok, and Mordin.
"You two may want to come check this out."
He waited until they were both close before re-activating the display on his own device.
"See these lines? These represent magnetic frequency, and the orange that I'm overlaying now, they represent the potential strength of the magnetic field that thing put out. Notice how strong it is. But then I discovered two possibly vital clues. The green lines coming up now represent an identifiable radio frequency, I believe known as 86.7 by humans. It's radial frequency modulation is so strong though I think it would 'drown out' anything else operating on that frequency. The real kicker though what when I asked the computer to display the exact conditions present on the planet, as taken by ship sensor readings, at the times the anomaly first appeared, closed, and while it was seemingly stable. Check this out."
A simulation with the data began to run, showing the magnetic frequency of the planet's own magnetic field. It was of course, constantly shifting, at times almost every second, and others at a slower rate, all planets with a magnetic field did so. Suddenly though, a shift in the magnetic field caused a brief 'echo' on the sensor, and the simulation, and at that moment a side window appeared, indicating the anomaly having been detected, or forming. What was very interesting though was the fact that the magnetic field of the anomaly exactly matched that of the planet's own magnetic field at that time. For a bit, that remained the case, but eventually the planet's own magnetic field began to fluctuate again. Even still, the anomaly remained stable, according to the simulation, though it's magnetic field did seem to begin to slowly weaken. When the difference between the anomaly's own magnetic frequency, and that of the planet's magnetic field reached a difference of roughly 7.5%, the anomaly itself collapsed, and vanished once more, as if it had never been there. The simulation ended, and Draven looked to both of them.
"This simulation is a reconstruction of the events as they happened on the planet, while the people there were too busy to notice. Now more testing will need to be done to back up and prove my theory, but right now I'll postulate that if we had something operating on that radial frequency, we might be able to detect anomalies right when they open. In addition, if we can come up with a means of calculating the magnetic stability of a planet's field, and figure how long before it changes to the cut off point, we may even be able to determine how long they will last for. If so, we may be able to figure out more about them, such as why this happened."
As the Cybershadow departed in spectacular fashion, there were a few comments of "Son of a bitch!" made.
