They weren't lying when they said they had modifications to make to the Torment. During the recovery operation in the scrap field (courtesy of Liberty's invasion), one of the nanny ships managed to salvage a semi operational cloaking device from one of the Atlantis carrier wrecks. While even the 'mighty' Atlantis is smaller than an Arbiter, it seems the engineers attempts to modify and install the technology on the Torment have proven to be...somewhat effective.

The cloak is by no means perfect, in fact it's downright unreliable since it wasn't made with a vessel of this size in mind, still, it'll prove handy in a pinch. Reports are coming in daily from skirmishes across the Vespucci system between Insurgency and Liberty forces. Kansas is all but inaccessible and Magellan is seemingly closely being monitored, it's becoming increasingly obvious that Inverness is the only real way out of the system for now and it won't be long before Liberty tries to blockade that exit as well.

Armed with this new cloaking device however, I have decided the Torment will remain in the system for as long as possible to help with fighting off these invaders. Should the time come that we have no other option but to retreat, we'll place our fates in this unpredictable technology and try to slip away unnoticed. Our odds of success will be unpredictable at best, but our presence alone will greatly improve the odds for all our brothers and sisters trying to leave the system.

The Torment will not fall.
