We Few, We Happy Few, We Band Of Brothers And SistersChapter 27 free porn video
The AIs had told the Confederacy that the Sa'arm had been on the planet Silvat-3, for approximately three months. They were evasive, however, as to how they knew that. Nevertheless, the team accepted that this was a legitimate example of an early Sa'arm invasion.
Sancho Panza, with Dolores in mission command, established the relay point and hideout went smoothly. She remained in-system, between the planet and the relay point, when Jervis Bay arrived.
The ship would make several sorties: one to set up the relay point, one for the first observations, and additional sorties for more observations. Nevertheless, the first mission against known Sa'arm called for redundancy. Programming for the various orbiters could be sent to the surveilled system, and then propagated via the integrated navigation & communications satellites.
Jervis Bay approached the planet in stealth mode, covered by ZIRCONIC optical and radar shields. It was a tense time, for they did not know even if the Sa'arm had planetary patrols, much less active sensors that would shower them with fire as soon as they were in range. Nevertheless, Terry took a deep breath, and began moving in. "All stations from command. Remember the command relationships. Captain Berg is responsible for the status of the ship, the squadron, and systems mounted in the ship or controlled by stations in the ship. I will direct the pod-mounted systems.
We will start with passive scans of near-planet orbits and signals from the surface. Captain from command, roll ship to point passive sensors to the surface.
"Command, captain. Rolled into position.
"Electronics, first, use your long-range passive electronic sensors. If clear, use radar to scan areas where we have not detected enemy presence.
"Small craft department, deploy the NAVCOM birds. Next, deploy the electro-optical search and tracking pods, then the KH-12 imaging pods. Within a single orbit, KH-12 imagery was showing a picture of a Volumna-class sphere, in the location given by the AIs.
Catherine hit her microphone, concerned but not afraid. Her equipment warned of the existence of possible radar, although no indication that it saw them. "Command, EW. RIVET JOINT reports VHF emissions from the sphere. Some appear to be a fixed beam, as in azimuth search, and others oscillating as with a height-finder. Preliminary evaluation is radar comparable to Soviet S-75 Dvina, late sixties. We are also getting weaker emanations in the same general frequency range, which are moving and might be airborne radar."
"Communications and EW, command. Create a spot report with that ELINT information and send it to the supraluminal relay point for immediate transmission. This is critical information.
"EO and missiles, Command. Keep passive track on the mobile sources, and feed the approximate position to the battle station. Prepare main radars to lock onto trajectory if it closes with us. Start updating HGM-120B's with midcourse information.
"If we can avoid it, I don't want to fire on the Sa'arm and confirm the our existence. We'll do it if we are threatened, but I want to be damn sure we don't leave witnesses."
Actual pictures would tell more than radar and infrared measurements, although the latter would still complement the former if the Sa'arm used camouflage. "EO, Command. Drop the MS-177 close-look cameras into lower orbits in the vicinity of the spheres. We want detailed pictures of the sphere itself, and the ground near it."
After several MS-177 passes, Harry called out, "Command, Imagery. Multispectral scans show areas of greater-than-background heat, on ground near the sphere. These drop in intensity with distance, in a pattern that reminds me of a sloping tunnel. The hot areas are three lines spaced 120 degrees apart."
"Imagery, command. Put that together into a spot report and send it to the supraluminal relay. EW, any indication we've been detected?
"Command, EW. No, the levels hitting us are quite low, and the sweep patterns have not focused on us."
"Radar, command. Set up the synthetic aperture radars to aim at the apparent signal sources. Once you think you've got a decent image, let's get out of here.
"All stations, command. Speak up if you have any reason to believe they've detected any satellites." There was no response.
"All stations, pull any low orbit birds into an orbit to hold them for at least 60 days. Sync them up with communications relays, and verify the relays are passing data to the superluminal point. Destroy any sensors that don't pass data. Arm the self-destructs on everything else." They spent the next four hours checking the remote monitoring, and then pulled back.
Sancho Panza jumped first, and then Jervis Bay returned to superluminal space, and, ten days later, arrived at the Blue Light.
While in the relative safety of superluminal space, Catherine subvocalized to Terry.
