Project "Lightspear" - IRG and Crimson Cross

[Ingenuus Research Group]

Staring at Callahan as he finished, she pondered for a moment.

Interesting dilemma you have here. One that I'll need some time for my team to analysis and draft up some possible solutions. Would you mind if we got started, and I can update you further later?

Having received a nod of approval in response, Jennifer turned and walked towards the team unloading the equipment. Knowing that their work was cut out for them, she lifted up some bags, and worked to establish a suitable space to begin...

Fast forward one week

Having messaged Callahan to come to the IRG operations center on Ibiza, she prepped the files for display in the conference room set aside for her team. Cables ran from various terminals and pieces of equipment, as all the space afforded to IRG personnel was found to be quite small considering the scope that they determined during the week thusfar. As Jennifer had a couple members try to tidy up the room, there was the familiar swoosh of the doors as Callahan walked in.

Ah you've arrived early. As you can see, space is somewhat valuable around here, so we're making due as much as possible. Bu regardless, have a seat. There is something I want to show you.

Sitting down herself, she typed away on the console, and brought up a schematic that she slid over to Callahan.

My team and I believe we have come up with a potential solution to your problem with containment. Instead of two fixed rings that rotate around the core, and do not allow for variations during the firing process as you mentioned, we would have two of these containment units that would not only suspend the cores in a fixed location, but can also adapt to the fluctuations and stress during the firing process. With six to eight "arms", each housing graviton emitters and magnets, they would increase or decrease in size depending on the state of the core. Within these arms as well are superconductors, that would siphon the energy output during the firing process, and direct it to a third set of these units to create this third singularity within the firing chamber itself.

As he was staring at the schematic, with a somewhat confused look in his eye, Jennifer began typing away on the desk console, and brought up a simulation of the units themselves.

Forgive the crudeness, but this should demonstrate these units. Within this simulated model, we've taken the extra precaution of having containment rings still providing the necessary emitters, though we're working on eliminating them entirely. As you can see, the core is still suspended in a fixed point, but the rotating arms serve the same purpose as the containment rings previously mentioned. With this model, you can see how with the increase or decrease in power fluctuations from the cores, which directly impacts the size of the singularity, that the arms effectively contain the core in any state it may be in. Now, we've designed these as well with the superconducters in each arm to transfer into the firing chamber. In our prototype we're working on, the actual cores would be separate from the main firing chamber, and the third singularity would be contained within. Once the singularity has reached it's full potential, without collapsing in on itself, the conductors would disengage, and the firing chamber closed off from the main cores. At that point, the stored energies would essentially "feed" the created singularity during the firing sequence. Thus reducing strain on the primary cores, but achieving the same effect.

Having finished, she rested her elbows on the table and clasped her hands together, looking at Callahan and waiting for him to respond.
