My impression of Foraker is that she's a nuts and bolts type of person, not theoretical. Pair her with a few more nuts and bolts people near her caliber who are familiar with how Manticore equipment actually works, then have the nuts and bolts group work closely with the theoretical group.

Getting those two together might actually finally give DW a reason to clearly explain what happened during the "Oops" incident.

Foraker would almost certainly be very interested in finding out how Harkness managed to light a pinnace wedge while it was in a boat bay, and Horace would almost certainly have heard something about the "Oops" moment and ask for an explanation of that as "payment".

Explaining "Oops" should not be a worry, because one of the very first things that Foraker would have certainly done when the PRH became a sane nation again would have been to fix the exploits she used to blow up those ships.

For Foraker to NOT seek out Harkness and try to get information out of him would be completely out of character when she discovers he engineered that little malfunction. She would certainly want to be very, very certain to patch up that security/safety issue by being certain that she understands what happened and how it was accomplished.

This discussion has already been beaten to death in an earlier post/topic. Unfortunately, the "history" of older topics must have been deleted, or someone could point to that discussion.

Ooops.
(Hehehehe; that was NOT an intenional pun.)

What harkness and scotty did was they just cut the sensors of so the system thought it was in the middle of the deepest blackest space wtih in fact nothing around. As it was said: it was so scary simple because no one would be so stupid to try it.
