Arriving in his room, he began examining the recieved message with the more common means of deciphering the contents. However, after several hours, he had made no progress in recapturing the actual words.
Undefeated, and undaunted with the enormity of the task at hand, he began to methodically apply the subspace infrared algorithm to the message. After several more hours, just before shift, he was able to synthesize a voice pattern out of the entire message that was unbroken.
Tapping his badge, not aware of what time it was, "Lt. Jg. Shran, I have been analyzing the message, and I have some information which you may find useful in your appraisal of the situation when calculating the origins."
He downloaded the information into a PADD for Shran to read when he arrived. When opened, this is what is displayed:
Entering his quarters, and beginning to evaluate the material, he begins running the standard scans on the message. Fianlly, giving up, he begins to apply the Subspace infrared algorithm to it, and soon has a more positive result.
Tapping his badge, he calls Shran.
"Lt. I believe I have some information which may be of interest to you. Can you please come to my quarters?"
He downloads the information into a PADD for Shran to read through and evaluate. When opened the following report is displayed:
In regard to the received emergency distress call. This can be related to a hand held Emergency Beacon, but on a much large scale. When compared, it can be seen that both are a request for assistance from individuals, or a group of individuals in need of rescue or aid. Both can be modified to emit on singular wavelengths, and such, can typically be traced to the origin or source. Though Distress calls are used to summon help from ships, bases or other colonies in the range of reception.
Care must be taken when responding to Distress Calls, as the source may be in an area where the Federation Ships are not permitted to enter with out negotiation first. In most cases, if this is a Planetary distress signal, the head of council for the Federation Planet has all ready declared a planet wide state of emergency.
What we have received is of a lower grade signal. Probabilities indicate a ship, instead of a planet, based on the strength of signal, and the degradation it has undergone before reception. Though, age could also be a factor.
All Distress signals are transmitted through the medium we define as subspace. Defined as an integral part of the space-time continuum, distinct, yet coexistent with normal space. Most often, they can be traced through a tetryon particle trace, as all messages leave a weak trail of more organized tetryon particles in its wake.
Though this method, the signal may be transmitted across interstellar distances faster than the sped of light. It is common practice of all ships to monitor such communications in order to intercept for response such signals. A special frequency is used for Emergency distress calls, as subspace communications have delineated ranges for specific uses. Typically in order of priority from low to high, you have the “diplomatic” frequencies, the “command frequencies” and then the “emergency frequencies”, even as the ancient Terrans had various frequencies for their radio waves.
With the perfection of subspace relays, the increase in efficiency for subspace communications has allowed for a more rapid interception and response to such emergency signals by both ships, and by Command Staff.
Most subspace frequencies are scanned for subspace differential pulses through a subspace infrared algorithm. In this algorithm, the pulses are checked for the following things:
5. Zeta particle derivation
6. Gamma wave frequency
7. Ion distribution
8. Flow rate of positrons
A Zeta Particle is defined as an electrokinetic potential between the stationary liquid conncted to a solid phase surface, and the mobile portion of the liquid’s diffuse layer.
This is completed by the computer analyzing and calculating the particle disbursement in an aqueous system which would acquire a surface charge, either by ionization, or adsorption of charged species. With the slipping plane of the solution along the Brownian Motion calculated, the interparticle interactions can then be calculated and the Zeta Particle potential acquired through a synthesized application of electrical fields across a calculated dispersion. The Zeta particles will migrate towards the electrodes of opposite charge at a velocity proportional to the magnitude of the particle’s potential and charge. This is then calculated in realtime, as if a laser Doppler anemometry were being applied to the solution. With the Zeta particles being calculated for their reactions in realtime, a basis for nanoparticles must be used for the understanding of how strong, and of what wavelength the message must have originated. This can be based upon the frequency and the electrophoretic light scatter received through the subspace network.
In scanning all subspace pulses, zeta particles are examined through the potential characterization of particle dispersions, emulsions and biomolecules run through the scanners. The message that we received had a very high zeta particle dispersion and emulsion, but a low biomolecule count when examined closely. Lt. Jg. Shran had all ready all ready managed to isolate the zeta particle potentials in the message we had received.
The next band to examine and calculate probabilities in recovering the message were the Gamma wave frequencies.
Gamma waves are most frequently associated with the common definition of a pattern of human brain waves associated with perception and consciousness most commonly produced when masses of neurons emit electrical signals at 40 Hz.
However, Gamma waves have also been created through the use of Indium Phosphide layers grown by gas source Molecular Beam Epitaxy, and subjected to Zeta Particle potentials in a Brownian Motion simulation. This is the method used to examine all emergency distress calls which are received with out a coordinate set, so as to determine the exact location of the origin.
Lt. Jg. Shran has also completed this step in the evaluation of the message, to place the location. However, the content may also be derived by the deterioration of the wave’s frequencies over the known distance. With an enhancement of the waves, the probabilities increase to .000003 that the content of the message may be recoverable. Though the voices will sound synthetic.
With the aid of a calculated application of a Positron Emitting particle tracking algorithm, the content of the message will be able to be clarified even further. As the path of any radioactive particles with in the isokenetic tracers will allow us to track the flow fields inside the actual message stream. These Rheological properties of the measured tracers will produce a 3D image of the actual wave properties, which can then be transcribed to a 2D simulation of the full 3D effect from the positrons.
The subatomic particle opposite of an electron, known generally as antileptons, are the basis of antimatter, so ship traffic in the immediate area of both the origin and reception of the message must be taken into account, as well as the potential of beam disruption along the highest possible potential path the beam would have traveled to be received by our ship.
This evaluation, and calculation of the actual positronic flow path will be the final step in evaluating the message we have received.
First, however, the message must still be analyzed for the ionic distribution among the beam’s particles, which will be affected by the region of space for it’s origin, the special anomolies it must travel through between substations to be received, and the space in which the Aryes sits. With this information, it will be possible to asses the amount of damage which was caused by cancellation of ionic energies during it’s passage.
In the final step, we must also plan on evaluating all ship traffic in the calculated areas from which the message may have originated, traveled, and been received. As most ship’s engines rely on antimatter to gain power, the substance of the message will have been actually picked up, run through a warp core, and then expelled at an unknown distance from the origin. However, this will may lead us to a calculated estimate of what the message’s content was.
With this in mind, and the prior work performed by Lt. Jg. Shran, I now have begun to evaluate the message starting with the ionic distribution. I have a high proportion of positrons in the actual message beam, which is supportive of the hypothesis that the message originated near a stellar nursery. And, a low negative eclectically negative ion, which probabilities indicate a lack of ships crossing the immediate path of the message.
When evaluating the message for content, it is possible to evaluate the voice recognition waves through the 2D to 3D simulation, it is possible to see various indications of vocal stress which indicates that the source of the distress call was not caused by personal safety issues. Though, there are races and species which would not show such vocal inflections.
