They’d never been savvy with that kind of thing. Allera didn’t respond to Variance, pretending not to have heard him.

Its gonna be quite obvious something's there if theres a random patch of heat in the middle of nowhere. And Allera is just salty that we're teaming up with an ancient eldritch necro."

I doubt our friend Shim here can manipulate all of the electromagnetic spectrum, otherwise he could destroy everyone with gamma rays or something."

"That's why I said I could probably just make the ship invisible on all spectrums. It would be difficult, but I think I could manage it. Anyway, the point here isn't to get a surefire plan. We already know that there will be a good chance of getting detected somehow during this whole operation. I'm just trying to do what I can."
Channelknight Fadran Posted August 23, 2023 Posted August 23, 2023 "The plan accounts for being detected in the first place. Even if we can disguise ourselves they'll notice a ship going missing, and unless we can disguise every signal including the light emitted from the ship itself, then they'll be able to find us." Ayia took a little step closer to Allera. Hopefully that would help her feel a tad more comfortable. "I'm afraid we're gonna have to abandon this ship for now though."

We can worry about him - and you, if we have to - once we get through the portal." Ayia reached to pull the energy rifle off her shoulder, handing it to Allera. "Here. I take it you know how to shoot these things?" @Szeth_Pancakes

Variance, please, calm down. I won't destroy the ship. And can we please get moving? People are gonna start wondering where the person you impersonated is. So can we please just leave before we all get killed?"
