So these are lighting circuits rather than main power. The reddish filament bundles in the light tubes are electroluminescent when they have power and are in vaccuum. They lose charge fairly quickly and go from reddish to dull black. If I remember correctly they have an element of biotech in them. They are very convenient just to spread as a net in vaccuum to create lighting. The power capacitor should be just there as a starter. I have trouble believing it would hold enough charge to mess with a force field.
However, my best guess would be to remove the power capacitor temporarily, break the light tube and drape the freed light filaments across the cell to the lower left corner of the force field, or whichever corner is the source of ripples in your cell. Then I suggest we all reinsert the power capacitors at the same time. We could coordinate the “drop” like an Echo run.
This much power isn’t going to blow out the field, but it might mess with the frequency resonance enough to destabilize it. I don’t know if it will hold like that or just flicker. Again if the second person in the cell could charge the barrier as soon as the power is connected, that might draw a lot of power which, if not in resonance, could further destabilize or overload one or more of the force field sources. Try to hit the field as far from the ripple source as possible. If even one of us gets through, we have a chance to operate the console.
I’d prefer to hack into the control circuits and just switch it off, but not seeing an access.
I’m going to work on setting that up in our cell. Share if you find any other circuits near the power coupling. Sing out when ready.
Who wants to call the move when we are ready?
Goes to work stripping out the capacitor and filaments and laying them out as suggested. Investigates the area around the power coupling.
