Kitty gave a surprised look at first, then chuckled, "Wow, I know I put on a couple of pounds when I had my daughter, but I don't think anyone has ever called me ma'am before."

A look of dread crossed Krystal's face as she thought she had just offended the young woman, "I'm so sorry, Mam, um Miss Moonshadow. I didn't, I didn't mean to offend you. I was just trying to be respectful, since this is your ship and all."

She continued to smile as she thought about what to say next, "As for the coolant, yes. I mean, plasma coolant is pretty standard these days, but the heat exchanger systems are pretty special. There are a number of them, to be honest. The one she's working on right now preheats the fuel to bleed off some of the heat. There are a couple of others that cycle some of it through special heat vents, but even with how cold space is, it is not as easy as you would think to cool things off without a medium to do it in. Larger ships have bigger systems to circulate it through and use more heat exchangers. I altered my mom's design of this ship and my daughter is already a chip off the old block and learning how to modify systems. I have to say, I use to feel like the child oddity, but my daughter looks like she might put me to shame before much longer. With any luck, she will be done with her latest adjustments soon."

"Yeah, that's a bit over my head," Krystal replied, wishing her father was there since he was far more knowledgeable, " I mean if you give me a good diagram or set of blueprints, I could probably build you something, but I'd be a bit lost as to how it would actually work, unless it happened to be a weapons system. By the way, and please don't be offended, but how old are you? I mean, you seem too young to have a daughter that old."

She put her hands on her hips and then changed topic a little, "I'm not sure how well you might be able to adapt to this ship's combat systems. It uses a holographic interface and no actual control panel. I'm not used to having help. The ship is able to adapt though. Theoretically, you could ask it to create a console that you're comfortable with and then customize the layout yourself. If we get into combat, by default, I will likely take over, but you could help by dropping stealth mines and firing a torpedo here and there, when a target might present itself. Odds are that if we do engage something, we'll be running like hell and you'll become my tail gunner. Sound like something you could handle?"

"So, If I wanted something like a Starfleet issue Tactical console, the ship would make it?" Krystal's eyes widened, "What about something simpler like a phaser rifle? Could you show me how it works?" Krystal waited patiently and then contact with Falyn seemed to be lost. She nearly bolted to help but, since the CSEC had beaten her she stayed not wanting to get in the way.
