3rd Entry:


While a operator was conducting tests on a sample of Azurite, they inadvertently overcharged the conduction system being used to test the Azurite against certain conduction rates on our superconductors. What resulted was the Azurite being infused at a much higher rate than we thought possible. By doing this, it should make it easier to modify and manipulate into the Nomad tech we have at our disposal. Also, sub-systems required to have a tightly-controlled high energy flow to them can benefit from this by making use of a more efficient stream of power. The team has been looking into further ways of better controlling how to directly modify it's properties in conjunction with adapting our tech to work with it. Below is a magnified, microscopic view of the Azurite in it's chamber.



The Azurite is seen to be infusing at a very high rate, while at the same time maintaining it's base atomic properties. The extent to which this can be applied to our uses can therefore be enhanced. This will still need further testing to confirm that our power system can properly manage and control the substance so as to not have any major issues.


Engineering Chief Waxford has put forth the suggestion to move away from raw power generation and rather put more effort into secondary system efficiency. One facet of this could be to enhance our Cloaking Drive as it has recently failed in a covert attempt made in Zeta. While moving near another group of Nomad ships passing through, the Cloaking Drive began to encounter problems and issues occurred where the Cloaking field may not be stable for much longer, so the Stormhawk retreated to a safer location before a potential failure would happen. This is not the first time such a problem has happened, and unfortunately there is no way to predict if it will happen again. At least on one occasion it did shutdown prematurely, causing the Stormhawk needing to engage several hostile ships before retreating.

These problems may further reinforce the need to enhance the Cloaking Drive in some way so that these problems do not happen, or happen with far less frequency. With Delta 4 required to do frequent covert operations, this is of extreme importance to the current leadership. Very soon, the main testing crew will begin tests on how they can tie the Cloaking system directly into the Nomad Fuelcell via the use of Azurite.
