Althea, I have the beginnings of a new plan for stopping SHODAN from firing the laser. We'd have to get the isotope x-22 from GAMMA quadrant and feed the shield generators down on the reactor level. The generators are right by the actual shield activation controls. My theory is that firing the laser into the shield might overload it, but that's just a theory. Also, there's probably a safety fuse that prevents just such an occurance. I'll keep working on it.

We could get isotope x-22 from Gamma, then power and activate the shields from level R. If we fire the laser into the shield it may overload, but there are safeties to prevent this.

Listen up, Althea. I know how we can stop SHODAN from firing the laser. Get the isotope x-22 from Gamma, feed it into the shield generators on the reactor level, then put the shields up. Fire the laser into the shield and the laser explodes. Trouble is, every existing safety lock is designed to prevent this.
