"Are you thinking about contracting with Starfleet?" Steve asks, interest piqued. "Or just offering this device to the captain?"

It sounds like the kind of thing the Enterprise could use. Steve's aware that the ship itself has shields he assumes work the way this thing does, but that still leaves everyone vulnerable when they disembark. Like on Alemar III. He nods a little, almost to himself. He remembers seeing Billy there, and Adam. And Andros, of course. "I'm glad to see you're all right, by the way. That was some mess down there."
