"Does this make sense to you, Dr. Teero.", Hattie looked at Acrylos as she looked at the series of equations written on the tablets and projected on the HUD.
"It looks like a crystalline subset for a quantum Singularity. It looks like a tiny version of the Crystalline entity.", Colonel Teero observed.
"What are you working on? A historical thesis for your students?", Acrylos asked.
Hattie held up a small black rock.
Acrylos looked at the sample, "How is that possible?"
The Bajoran Engineer looked back at the equations. There is no way that little rock was generating that much stored energy.
He looked at his former girlfriend, "The Romulans use a very powerful reaction to start their artificial singularity. This rock could start it with a simple spark. Do you know how valuable this is?"
"Where did you get this?", Colonel Teero looked at Dr. Hatherton.
Hattie smiled, "When the Federation extracted the Omega Enriched Dilithium, they scared the inner lining of the mines with these black rocks. The residual Omega Molecule combined with the tremendous gravity generated by the Branson Bissect appears to have created this dense Crystalline rocks. I have designated the Romulan Ice."
"Amazing!! I could kiss you.", Acrylos thought about what this could mean for trading possibilities with the Empire so close.
Hattie smiled, "So what stopping you?"
Hattie thought about their former romance and how much she missed him.
