Fel & Miggell made their way through the ship to Fel's personal quarters. Once in, Fel initiated a total lockdown of the cabin, making it impervious to any form of surveillance. He conducted a quick scan of his person, and of Miggell's. "Okay, we're clean. Now, Elvis, are you going to tell me why command sent you? Obviously you know what this is all about, now, what parts of it are you allowed to tell me?" Elvis considered for a moment, "Well, I've been told to use my discression. I'm thinking that the best way for us to work is if we're entirely open about this. As you know i dropped off the charts for a while. I was in R&D on Gargon. We were doing some very interesting work. However, we have reason to believe the Imps have gotten wind of our plans, and are attempting to copy us. We've been working mainly with A-wings on this, due in part to their reconaissance skills. But also due to the new Novaldex III engines we've developed. In straight flight we can now outrun any, and i mean, any ship. But there's another use for this extra power. At a slight cost in speed we have developed a very useful piece of technology. Using various minerals that we believe can only be found on Gargon, we have developed a fully functional cloaking technology. At the moment we can fit a pack to an A-wing with ease and a minimum of fuss." Fel was stunned. "I thought we were years away from that level of technology. I'd heard rumours of course, mainly from the Imperial side of things. But on an A-Wing-b, the potential is staggering!" A wry smile was spreading on Miggell's face, "Sir, that's not all. You may remember the Nighthunter Sniper Rifle, the one that shows no visible light when fired, because the laser's invisible...." he trailed off as he saw the look on Fel's face. "You can't be serious! You know what this means don't you?" "Well yes Sir i do, we had a team of Noghri techs working with us. We've also been working on some miniaturisations, for the Amdex IV concussion missiles. I think you know what that means. They'll be ready in about a months time. Ready for my squadron that is." Fel was staggered, "Colonel, are you telling me that we have a fully functional stealth fighter, with 'stealth' lasers, and soon stealth missiles? Do you realise the implications of this?" "Yes Sir, i do believe i do. However, there are some drawbacks. It's a damned hard system to use. The systems are so complicated it takes weeks to get used to it. We've had to upgrade to R10 droid systems to cope with the power shunting. However, we now have the whole of Shadow Squadron trained up. There's just one problem, we're down a man. Sir, i'd like to request that you transfer one of your men. My first choice would have been your lad Iulan. He's got a lot of potential, but I think you're going to need him. So instead I'm going to ask for Cadet Dury. I know he's raw, but i've looked over his stats. His synapse speed is up there with the best. He's at least going to be as good as ole Dash Rendar. I want him on my squad sir." Fel smiled grimly, "You realise he's not seen full combat yet, only a couple of minor pirate skirmishes. Still, i agree the boy has potential. He's yours if you want him." Now, let's see about Yaga Minor, where are you going to insert...." ------------------ OOC: Sorry it's a bit long, but there's a lot that need to be included. I'm concerned this might turn into a slug fest to see who can come out with the most fantastic weapons. As far as i'm concerned my r&d guys have no new surprises. Although at some point i'd like to introduce some of the force into this motley crew of rebels!!!
