Ford: "Field-unit? What are you doing? Ingoldo: "We need protection from the alien minds so I will make some modifications on the shields on the shuttle." :: Right on time a crewmember arrives with the field units in a box, he is out of breath as running and carrying the field-unit is heavy work. :: Ford: "How long time will it take to install it?"

I have never seen anything like it." Ingoldo: "Well as sure as I can be. It will make the shields very dangerous to the Gor'gons. I am not sure how long they will hold against a direct assault however." :: Turns an looks at Ford. :: "And please forget that you even saw the device, Commander. It is highly classified." Ford: "Forget what?" :: Smiles, and steers for the Gor'gons. :: Off: Ensign Ingoldo Chief Science officer USS Excalibur NCC-2997
