They were supposed to be lightweight, easily transportable, renewable power generators. We tuned your warp engines to the resonant frequency indicated by the Lorentzen equations - the ones used for my ship's L-space engines - and then connected up the spheres. The effects should have been at the quantum level.
I'll take care of it, Captain. They're all in the same room at least? No tunneling?
Okay, I was exaggerating about the daily thing. But when things happen here and things go wrong, they Happen Big so as long as things are alright in the end and no one got hurt, it's fine.
[It's baby lieutenant's first joint mission and she's worried about Representing Her People and all. But this captain seems very reasonable.]
I'll try to come up with something, otherwise they'll just keep pestering me to share the details of L-space technology with them and I'm honestly not allowed to. Not going to be the one to break a century-old law. Even using that frequency was pushing it.
It's a long flight. I guess I could teach them Tradeliner card games. With your permission.

Less. There were twelve.
I'll send word for the experiment to be shut down. There shouldn't be doubling on a macroscopic scale.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
no subject
First, please get them off my ship before they multiply any more.
Second, what are they in the first place?
Or swap those, I genuinely can't tell which I need to know or have happen more at this point.

Tunneling? Why would they be tunneling?
???????
no subject
Oh! I mean the teleportation style tunneling. Not literally boring holes through your ship.
[She hopes.]
I really screwed this up, huh? My captain's never going to let me get involved with outreach to Starfleeters again.

[ an audible in spirit sigh. ]
Huh? This isn't even a blip on the radar of colossal screw ups that happen daily.
no subject
Seriously? What else happened on your ship lately that compares to this?

Right. Much worse things can happen on a starship. No injuries, no shutting off compartments for venting, no pirates.
We've got the humming balls contained. You sure you don't want to keep one to study? Your engineers think it's not fair I'm taking them all.
no subject
See? Exactly.
I would say yes, but when one turns into five again, it might be a problem. Is there nothing else to occupy them until we get where we're going?
