Project "REDUX" - IRG and Nerva Regis

[Remnant]

To hell with it. I'm confident that the equipment aboard the ship is organized enough to where I could instead use the results of Project Evanescent instead of simply replacing the power mechanisms behind what already is in the vessel. Ingenuus doesn't have any plans to do any wide scale testing just yet, so I simply am going to make an executive decision and get some test results myself. If it worked for the Feanturi, provided that we run the ship dimensions through our mathematical model, tuning shouldn't be that much of an issue.

There are two methods that you can use when it comes to handling EM waves. Diffusion, and cancellation. The latter is incredibly difficult, as you'd need to prepare a specific waveform for each little wave incoming. As such, current cloaking devices, including the work we've been doing handles things through diffusion. Now as described in the previous reports, the Ingenuus Cells have interesting properties when it comes to emitting energy. These properties were normalized, when used for the general use power sections of the vessel, although we can use these properties when it comes to bending EM waves around a vessel. Some may describe the waveform as a 'unique, alternating signature'. Which is correct to a degree. It's what was aimed for, in fact.

I've mentioned that despite the seemingly erratic energy output of the core, that there is some consistency to it. This is key for our method of generation. Instead of using a lot of expensive equipment, and energy to create an EM field swirling and churning in a single direction constantly, it's possible to interface with the properties of the core and use the natural waveforms picked up by the fixture surrounding it, and simply generate a field matching what is already being output. It's cheaper for sure, although I wouldn't go as far as calling it safe. After all, the energy used to actually generate the field surrounding a vessel this large is astronomical. It's merely taking a few middlemans of the standard process out of the equation.

The perks to using the waveform created by the core, is that software exists these days which attempts to look for cloaked ships. Using algorithms, and very tuned scanners, technically if you knew the specs behind the cloaking device used, you could slowly begin to predict if there really is something or not in a certain area. This approach doesn't work with a cloaking device running under these principals. Hell, even we don't know what the defined (pre-amplified) waveform is going to look like. Each cell breeded is unique in this regard.

I'm afraid there isn't very much interesting I can talk about in the remainder of this approach. Most of it is simply about the math required in order to tune a cloaking device to cover a ship this size. The nodes we use to shunt the wave generation away from the core itself is still proprietary. Although I'll probably write something up on those at a later time anyways. Hah. Fire me if you dare.

Well. I suppose the remainder of this project merely falls to oversight. Not my problem anymore. We'll run some tests and verify things work correctly when everything is installed.
