(Well, they'd still see the Matchstick, it's only the Grayfin that's cloaked.)*At the same time, a conversation is occurring on the Splitspear*
“I would’ve thought there’d be a ship here…”
“Oh, there is. They probably have some kind of cloaking technology on.”
“Should I get defenses ready?”
“Not yet… But, maybe we should prepare to dispatch some fighter jets if necessary.”
“I’ll notify the pilots, then.”
((Oh. I’ll just retcon the last post then I guess))(Well, they'd still see the Matchstick, it's only the Grayfin that's cloaked.)
The portal shrinks a little more and then snaps shut, sending a few gravitational ripples, and then complete silence, there’s a very small rapidly cooling spot where the portal once was, it becomes readable, at incredibly high temperature, and then rapidly drops back to near the temperature of the space around it.*If the portal is still visible, one of the sensor operators begins running further diagnostics to try to figure out where it leads to.*
<<Unknown station, this is SINV 191, please identify yourself, over.>>((Oh. I’ll just retcon the last post then I guess))
*Since the Matchstick is visible, an operator onboard would begin attempting communications.*
*Upon success, a computerized voice would be broadcasted to whatever comms system the Matchstick has (And possibly the Grayfin too, since even though the message wasn’t directed at them they’d probably still received through cloaking (This doesn’t tell the Biosynth ship that they’re there, but it’s still worth mentioning). The voice recites the following:
<<Our sensors detected a heat spike in this area. Do you have any explanation for what could be the cause?>>
*If the portal is still visible, one of the sensor operators begins running further diagnostics to try to figure out where it leads to.*
*And so they don’t notice anything.*<<Stand by.>>
And now there would be a pause from the Syilressan vessel. Now, although it wouldn't appear that the vessel is doing anything, even if Biosynth was specifically scanning for communications, the Matchstick would currently be in contact with the Grayfin.
(Also, what does ASW stand for? As I assume in this context it isn't Anti-Submarine Warfare.)
About a minute later, they'd be sent a transmission.*And so they don’t notice anything.*
((Armored Spatial Warship.))
<<They could be testing a new vessel type, but that seems unlikely. Did it have any visible weapons?>>About a minute later, they'd be sent a transmission.
<<ASW 142, this is SINV 191, the heat signature you detected was due to a small conflict with an unknown vessel we believe to be Ocular, although it does not match anything we know from them.>>
