"Geordi?" Deanna looked around in Engineering.

"Counselor Troi, how can I help?" Geordi asked her, leaving his office.

"I've been doing some research into Alex," Deanna explained. "I was wondering how much mass could have materialised inside the warp core? 20 kilograms? More?"

"You're just in time, the results are just coming through now," Geordi informed her as his computer beeped. She followed him into his office, watching over his shoulder as he brought up the data.

"Over 80 kilograms, no wonder the warp core malfunctioned," Geordi informed her. He turned to her slowly.

"The weight of a large human adult male," Deanna looked over her shoulder at the not functioning warp core. It seemed more menacing than usual in its largeness.
