The Hunted

[Firebird]

New Berlin: Firebird arriving aboard the HMCS-Magnificent

Leaving his ship, Firebird is immediately approached by a young ensign who hands him the information and data recordings.

Firebird: Thank you, I'll look at these later, take me to the Captain.

Escorted by the Ensign, they went to the Bridge. Captain Achilles had just finished talking with the Communications Officer.

Captain Achilles: Firebird, about time you showed up. We got a problem for ya. We've been unable to track the Nomad ship, anytime the Nomad attacks it decloaks, blasts away everything in-sight, and then disappears without a trace. No engine trail, nothing.

Firebird: The problem is the Nomad propulsion system doesn't leave much of a trail, we can track the ship at cruise when cloaked but not when its running silent... CRI's been working on developing something to counteract the cloaking effect for sometime.

Captain Achilles: Any luck?

Firebird: None tested, but we have been working on the idea of flooding large areas with low-level radiation and using special scanners to find the cloaked ships. The generators and scanners are being developed by the Kusari at Kansai, we're rushing them but they should have something ready in a day or two. In the meantime, we're at the mercy of the Nomad ship.

Captain Achilles: Get me those generators, I'm sick of playing hide-and-seek in the dark with this thing.

Firebird: When's the paper work expected to pass on the other matter?

Captain Achilles: You know bureaucrats, they delay everything. But I would expect the announcement to be made tomorrow.

Firebird: Right... you know if CRI does this we'll have a huge bullseye painted on us. They did manage to attack both New London and New York.

Captain Achilles: Aye, but this guy's trouble and you know that?

Firebird: Agreed...watch your back old friend.

Captain Achilles: Same to you.

Firebird left the HMCS-Magnificent bound for Honshu.

Comm Officer: We're getting reports of another attack...

Captain Achilles: Grrrr...you know the drill, let's see if we can catch it this time.
