Aw hell. I was right, wasn't I. Bob's the Mazikeen. Hiding in plain sight while everyone searches the weave for something that isn't there.

I don't think it's him.
Could be mistaken though...

A certain amount of paranoia is a useful asset or an acquired skill for a competent, security conscious, systems administrator. Yeah. That's why I think he is good at his job. What will be next? I have no idea. But I think the last page of the chapter (or next chapter) will read: "Kari, the hero of...

I see one of three reactions from Bob after this. Either he joins Kari's side and helps, says he's an ally to the Collective and the heroes will get wrecked... or is the Mazikeen himself, undetectable or something. I don't think he is going to trust Kari just like that. He may want to analyze the n...

We previously saw them pulse their reactor to send a basic signal. It wouldn't be very secure, but then the goal is to spread the information as wide as possible. I think simple text messages via EPC is not the most convenient way for a serious communication where you want to convince someone of so...

- The only effective way to jam it, is to get an eclipsing object in between the sender and receiver that is larger than the beam-width - and keep it there ( which is near impossible if both objects are in motion ) it's immune to jamming signals that come from any other direction. A fictional way t...

Only downside is, it not omnidirectional. The sender needs to know the exact location/orbit/trajectory of the receiver and the receiver needs to know the exact location/orbit/trajectory of the sender. Any mismatch and the signal doesn't get through. I wouldn't call it a downside :) Any third party ...

An technological idea came to my mind. Wouldn't it be possible to communicate through low-intensity laser beams? Radio can be jammed, but direct laser beam should be more discreet (as you can't really see laser beams in space, only a spot at the receiver's end). Even Today military is able to detect...

Terrible plan? Is he going to attack the destroyer!? He only needs to take down the device that is jamming the signal. And then... survive... I wonder, maybe Sapphira is merely a lightminute away, observing how it all develops from a distance. That would be smart. If so, she may join the battle the ...

Although I think Mr. Creed will be in Bob's position before this chapter is over, trying to ruin things for our heroine... But there is also Whisper on-board that noone knows about (or at most - only Bob knows about). So, this change of power - even if it happens - might not be that easy for Mr. Cr...

New page!
Can we presume you are feeling better then? Hope so!

Giving away an info about a blind spot - that could be considered an act of treason... I suspect he knows something. Something that does not add up for him.
