The extent of scanning technology is not infinite. That's all I was able to ascertain.'
Reed probably wouldn't have even noticed the slight downward feeling as he drifted across to the space station. Or if he handn't known, he might have put it down to imagination. Reed had almost broken into the station earlier. Now he was able to slide the airlock door open. The three of them entered and waited while the lock completed its cycle and filled, allowing them entrance to the station.
The corridors were brightly lit. T'Pol led the way, glancing from time to time at a schematic and small scanner that showed here where the damping field was coming from. She stopped in front of a room filled with machinery and a kind of dense, loud electric fog. The door had the sort of shielding that made Tucker wish he'd been wearing his lead underwear.
For every nine minutes you spend in there, you will need to spend fifteen minutes detoxifying when we return to Enterprise. You will not spend more than two hours and twenty three minutes within the radiation field.'
