Let $S$ denote the locus of the point of intersection of the pair of lines $4x - 3y = 12\alpha$ and $4\alpha x + 3\alpha y = 12$, where $\alpha$ varies over the set of non-zero real numbers. Let $T$ be the tangent to $S$ passing through the points $(p, 0)$ and $(0, q)$, with $q > 0$, and parallel to the line $4x - \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}y = 0$. Then the value of $pq$ is (in $\sqrt{2}$)
