Chapter 15 One Percent

Garrett stormed into the room, stomping to the chair at the control panel. He threw papers on the table and sat down with shivers. The breakfast scene played over and over in his head even though he knew that nothing serious happened. Anger wore off and turned into regret and confusion of himself. Music played in the room, pushing the thoughts out of his head. Vivian kneeled with a screwdriver between four quarter-circle carbon poles positioned in corners of the square side of CHED's body and tightened the screws. Arthur stood sideways, reading the directions placed on the top of CHED's case.

Garrett sat there for a minute to calm himself. He looked at the bundle of different colored cables lying on the ground, running along the walls or hanging from the ceiling. Iron shelves and cabinets by the wall stood filled with various tools, electronic devices, and white plastic boxes. Tables on the other side got buried under blueprints, tools, and all the unfitting parts they used while finishing CHED. Monitors displaying status hanged above them, and a huge screen showed the three-dimensional structure of the last component they nearly completed.

Garrett stood at the panel and began writing the testing sequence on the touch screen. His fingers moved quickly, like the pianist's playing solo.

"How's it going?" he said, but no response came to him, so he shut the music into silence by waving a hand above head. "What's the status, Arthur?" he repeated without raising eyes from the screen.

"Oh, Garrett," said a red-haired guy, surprised by Garrett's unexpected presence.

A trace of a nervous smile appeared on his oval face, and eyes showed the excitement coming from the work.

"We've just finished the poles' circuits and synchronized their adjusting. Now the angles change evenly. We also modified lasers for proper aiming. And the power source, cables, connections, cooling plates, and the entire case check-up came off well. We found no issues, so everything seems to be in perfect condition."

"What about the simulation? I'm entering some sequences that may be adequate. Did you prepare anything to test the charging and pulse profile?" Garrett quickly wrote.

"We went through various settings, and the most promising is the staircase pulsation with the sequential growth of intensity. That may fit exactly what we need," said Vivian.

Garrett stopped writing and looked at a pointy nose girl with pink shaded cheeks. Her dark brown fringe, together with square glasses, almost completely covered her face.

"Excellent. You're right. And the initial conditions are..." the blinking cursor in a little square box waited for her answer together with Garrett's fingers.

"I don't know. I didn't have time to do that yet."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of that," Garrett scrolled through settings. "Who wrote the code for energy enrichment of inner field?" he frowned over the screen.

"I did," said Arthur. "I thought that direct charging would enhance the resonance of the field, which would give us a stronger response of particles."

"That's true, but this isn't a series charging but parallel. The way you wrote it would short-circuit.
