[[Henry Jacobs]] and [[Deynyk Rinn]] managed to figure out a way to detect the individual mines that encompassed the minefield that threatened the Boudicca.  They also managed to develop a method to restore power to the Boudicca.

The mines had relatively low explosive yields, but they flooded the ship's EPS Conduits with a type of radiation called [[Balyric Radiation|Transitional Balyric Radiation]]. The radiation has the affect of creating a magnetic charge in the casings of an EPS Conduit, which in turn constricts the flow of [[Electro-plasma]] through the conduits. This is akin to constricting a water pipe to the point that no water or very little water can flow along the conduit. 

The solution to this problem is to bombard the EPS conduits affected by Balyric Radiation with a [[Saltoric Radiation]] burst. The later causes the rapid decay of the Balyric radiation, and releases the constriction of the [[plasma]] flow.

The drawback is that this process is hazardous to personnel, and must be carried out using a hand-held emitter by personnel wearing HazMat suits. It was also determined that  using a sheathing of Tricobalt-carbon ceramic alloy will protect the conduits going forward. Repeated exposure of the alloy to Baylric Radiation creates a [[Subspace]] charge that can be tracked effectively over long distances. The Charge interacts with a warp capable ship's [[Warp Coil]]s and warp field.
