Cmdr. French
XO : Sir ... The bogeys have faded ... could have been an artifacts on Sensors ... but the distrubance is now plotted 10000km in the NZ
Cmdr. Dresden
CO: I think that those bogeys picked up our terrorists and the destruction of the Runabout is just to make us give up on trying to capture them.
Captain Lewis

Ens Heinlein
Captain : Captain he wants us to make the first move perhaps for political reasons
Captain Lewis
Heinlein: but of course.....
Ltjg Ber
Cap: If they decloaked behind the moons, we wont be able to detect their tachyon emmission, they won't be any
Lt. McDowell
Inverse phase-variance pulse maybe? It'll shake 'em up, and with things like they are here, they'll think it was a natural occurance.
