I'm no scientist. I just play one on the Inn. However, I've been reading into Dark Matter since that's one of Asovil's favorite subjects to study and it might be possible to detect a large object in space by the displacement of dark matter.

For the sake of the game, and if there's approval from the Q Continuum, Asovil could implement a Dark Matter scan and depending on how long the masters of the game wish this encounter to proceed, could slowly expand the radius of the scan until it could detect the occupied space of a cloaked vessel that has displaced the dark matter (unoccupied space).

lol @ play one at the Inn.

I think this is a cool plan. I don't see this encounter lasting super long, but this could be an effective tactic.

Aaaand posted.... Almost forgot the first half so had to edit to put it in there, but there you go... Let em know if anything needs to be adjusted.

I've been waiting for months for this scene to play out. Loving the responses so far, folks!

A couple of items:

I'm ready to press forward, but I'd like to see a Berk post if we can get it.

There are already Security personnel deployed to various critical areas of the ship, and there are also containment fields deployed to prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing those areas. Not saying sabotage is not possible, but Berk and company did account for this already back when we took the ambassadors aboard.

If my last post is superfluous, I can edit or delete It.

So that people know what I'm planning. Asovil will attempt to recalibrate the scans to account for dark matter displacement. This will take a little bit of time (I imagine the time it takes for the other scans to fail to find the Stormspike). Even if the attacking vessel decloaks to attack, from what I understand of Olan's explanation, it will cloak again as soon as it causes damage.

Anyway, that's the plan. Unless, of course, I'm directed otherwise.

Not superfluous. Maybe just an order to make sure personnel are, in fact, in place?

Thanks! I really hate to delete my posts.

Hummm-diddle-iddle-humm-diddle-aye!


And other words that don't really exist, too!

Because... ummm.... *facelick?*

I did not post. I plan on posting today (hopefully).

What started out as a simple little scene between the Minister and the Attache aboard the Coronado ended up being 'not as simple as I had planned.'

Currently on a conference call but am hoping to get, at least, that scene wrapped and posted shortly afterward.

I reread the posts and I'm waiting on the Captain to give his consent.

So you are, Brom. I had hoped to have a Berk post, but I'll go ahead and post today, myself.

I'm in deep with exams so I have a post half written, I'll endeavor to have it up tonight.
