Re: The Triangle
Krantz studied the telemetry from the probe, and scratched his ridges, in thought. The Weapons Officer considered the situation, for a time, then offered a course of action, for his Captain's consideration.
" Perhaps, just perhaps, we might be able to modify two or three probes to imitate the electronic signature of a squadron, not long, but perhaps long enough to draw off the gunboat's to allow a shuttle, one of ours, to slip past an onto the base. Their sensors have to be older versions, and a modern shuttle might just be able to jam theirs long enough, for a landing. If we can get out Marines on that base, the element of surprise, and the superior fire power of the latest weapons systems, might just carry the day. If we can seize their command and control and, or the power plant, and shut down the shields, our ships would have the base at its mercy.”
The plan was with great risk, and bold to say the least. But if it worked, the glory earned would be worthy of the High Command's attention.
