Snippet #2553929

The Solitude continued to drift through space, the Chameleo system keeping it visually invisible. While not the most advanced of stealth systems, as it only partially reduced heat and magnetic signatures alongside radio and other EM spectrum gradients, he'd found that most species that were primarily sight-driven found it difficult to track once the system was running properly. The sub-luminal engines cut in, giving a small shift in direction, allowing the bow of the small ship to aim out towards empty space.

Inside, Tenna monitored what he could. His instruments were picking up odd readings, random noise in the background, but he didn't pay it much mind. What had his attention were two of the screens that served as his windows. Instead of the usual visual imagery of the space around him(Because they would act as a panoramic window when under normal use) with his HUD overlays, these two particular screens had been devoted to information.

On one, several lists were appearing and disappearing rapidly as the computer searched through a database of starships, their captains, who they belonged to, and whether they were still in service. It was only partially complete, and even as the mercenary looked back at it for a moment, he doubted it would pull up anything more useful than the alliance each ship came from.

The other screen, however, was showing a three dimensional model, still being formed as information came in. It was a depiction of the two docked ships, how they were coupled, and although it was simply essentially a model of the exterior of them, Tenna's eyes began to pick up on areas that looked suspiciously blank, or those that were more obvious weapon bays. If there was one thing he didn't want, it was for his ship to get shot.

"Damned I'd be if it hadn't been for UCON. I really oughtta make it up to them. Maybe once I pay off my own bounty." He chuckled softly, and as an afterthought he checked to make sure his com-line had been set to one-way. One expletive later and it was, but he was late. Although the signal might have become garbled on it's way through the Chameleo, it was an unmistakable radio transmission that left the Solitude in a sphere at the speed of light.
