[When Jade comes in, B'Elanna gives him a look at that remark. Is that supposed to be a joke?]

Very. Why don't you join me?

[Her tone is sarcastic but she motions at the other side of the table.]

[She might find herself asking that question a lot. But at the moment, his smile becomes more genial.]

I suppose that I will. [And then he moves over to take the seat right there, very casually.] Are we starting with pleasantries?

Actually, I hate pleasantries. I avoid them when I can. Let's just get to the point.

[She takes a moment to make sure she has his attention.]

During the mission in Pagoda, the commandant allowed me to shadow the Malnosso tech that was working on the barrier.

[Now this is interesting. He gives just an amused smirk on the surface while thinking it over.]

Is that so? How kind of her. Did it prove to be an educational experience?

Not as educational as I had hoped. The way they word things, I couldn't understand what she was talking about half the time.

[Their tech lingo was way different.]

But I did pick up a few things.

[If only Guy were here, Jade imagines he'd be fighting off his phobia to glean every detail she could remember. There was also Dist, but that's someone Jade wouldn't wish on anybody.]

Oh? And what exactly were these things? [He imagines she's open to divulge, if she called for this meet-up. He looks on curiously.]

[And now B'Elanna leans forward with her elbows propped up on the table.]

The barriers have a power source on the outside. Obviously, I didn't get a very good look at that. But the shifts that it protects us against have frequencies that the barrier is tuned to match. The shields on our starships work in a similar fashion.

[Now this is interesting. Details on the barrier itself... He listens attentively.]

Is that so? That sounds like an effective method of protection, if those natural shifts are as dangerous as I've heard. So it's power source is external in some way... Did you manage to glean any other details relating to that?

[She shakes her head with a sigh.]

No. If they hadn't been in such a hurry to fix the barrier I probably could have learned more. But I think I was lucky to get what I did.

You're certainly fortunate. It is interesting information. Most likely it's not something that can be put to immediate use, but it could prove helpful someday. [He weighs it all over as he sips his tea.]

Right. I'm trying to get a feel for their technology. I can't make heads or tails of it quite yet, but maybe eventually.

[She then takes a sip of her own tea and... makes a bit of a face at it.]

Considering the number of supposed technological geniuses who have come and gone from the enclosure over the years without much in the way of clear progress, that would be quite the feat.

[And he gives an amused smirk as she sips.]

Does the tea disagree with you?

I'm more of a coffee person, actually.

[She puts the cup down.]

And the other "technical geniuses" haven't been me. So we'll see.
