_{[ Probably a good assumption. At this point it seems foolish to think that they don't know, or that there are places that Atroma cannot observe. Maybe they'll be lucky and find such a place, but for now he runs on the notion that Atroma is a bit like Big Brother and sees all. ]}

You mean like Kara?

_{[ She was the only he knew who need sunlight for her powers, but he wouldn't be surprised to hear about others. That he might do something for Kara was hardly a surprise either, though to be honest he hadn't thought Winn quite advanced enough to create something like a solar generator. Mostly because he seemed to come from an era where that science and technology was non-existant or at most in its infancy. ]}

Right, so, where is this thing?

[ a small smile is what kirk gets by way of admission. he doesn't have it all figured out - not even close - which is why it's taking so long for him to plan. he and kitty are living on extremely educated guesses and the gut instincts of the brilliant at this point. it's not a terrible foundation for a life, but it's not the best foundation for an advanced science project. hence - they proceed slowly and with great caution. ]

Right now, it's mostly still here. [ he taps his head lightly ] You know, since one wrong move and we're - burned, exploded, or cancerous - we figured we should proceed with caution.

[ he pulls out the plans he's made with kitty out of a locked drawer, and lays them out on the desk, along with notebooks full of calculations and chemical formulas. ]

This is what we got to work with. [ he points at a list of chemicals they procured on the moon ]

<sub>[ Kirk has been there before when it comes to plans, though he wouldn't be quite so reassured to hear it with something like this, especially after that list of potential side-effects. A small crease forms between his brows, but for the moment he withholds any words until he looks over the plans.

He can see that Winn is rather brilliant - he could only imagine what he would do with someone like Spock to help him (if Winn didn't become frustrated with the Vulcan first). Many seem to be on point as far as he can tell from a cursory look, but he would be the first to admit that though he did well in these subjects they were not his forte by any means. That was what the science division was for.

At least Winn seems to have a healthy dose of caution with this, which was good because he wouldn't so sure that Kitty would. ]</sub>

Where are you planning to contain this if and when you do materialize it?

_{[ That was his first and primary concern. This had the potential to be powerful, after all, and prone to accidents in the build stage. He approved of scientific investigation and experimentation, but he would rather that the whole ship didn't get irradiated too in the case of an accident. ]}

Right here.

[ he drags a big container into the open, currently housing those of their chemicals that can be kept together (still carefully separated though. you can never be too careful). it's a monstrously heavy thing he had no hope of dragging on board on his own. thankfully, the moon helped power kara up some. ]

Had to pool our money for this baby, but it was worth it. Could transport a reactor in this thing. It's not gonna open, and not gonna leak.

[ he really really hopes. just in case, he intends to wrap it in an extra layer of radiation proofing, made of the same material he used for their radiation suits. even so, he knows there's no way to be 100% sure, which is why he wants to go over every stage a 100 times. if there is a problem, he wants it minimal, and caught fast. ]

_{[ He stares at the container, but the look on his face isn't one of reassurance. In fact, he looks slightly alarmed. He glances between it and Winn, back again. He looks back down at the chemicals and equations laid out on the paper. ]}

Let me get this right - you're wanting to create a power source like solar energy, but as a liquid or a type of particle fusion?

_{[ And the reactors he knows would NOT be contained in that Winn. ]}
