Blue "Sir, I'm sorry to report but I've lost Heathcliff's ship?"

Karl "What, how?"

Blue "Well it seems the interface still needs to work out some bugs with tracking a single ship in a crowd of them. It also doesn't help he has a stealth ship, sir."

DMR "Wait, you can track it? I thought it was a stealth ship."

Karl "Correct but by using point to point detection sensors put up through out the galaxy, I am able to track ships."

DMR "Could you please explain how."

Karl "Sure, let's say for the demonstration sake, it takes five seconds for a signal to go from Eafth to the planet Pelto. If it takes the signal any other amount of time, then we know something tripped the signal. Now, when we bring this up to the entire galaxy, where billions of these have been set up, we can track anything from the largest starship to a single fighter."

DMR "So couldn't the ship just find holes in the system?"

Karl "Sure, I mean it's still only in beta but the closer the ship comes to a planet, the easier to becomes to track. The Chat uses this for two reasons. One, it is very easy to know where our ships are and to coordinate attacks. Second, if we notice something tripped the system but the ship and or object is not registered, then we know it's not ours. This system as taken years to develop, and Earth has had it for some time. That's how we knew heathcliff was coming to bomb us. Now, it's as the point we can track all of our ships and any other ship that travels through out the galaxy. Even slip space jumpping doesn't work because we will not only detect the rupture as it happens, we can still track that ship as it exits slip space. Each ship has a unigue signature and we store all that data for future use."

DMR "Damn, it's a good thing we can track the Chat now thanks to you."

Karl "It won't be that easy. In less then two days tops, the Chat will give all their ships new identification numbers so ex-admins can't track them. But Blue and I and rebuild this system to be used by us. Though the Chat will probably do the same thing."

Jess "Sorry to change the subject but I need to know if Vid is still going to be in there."

Karl "Ah yes. Well, this is a data lab the Chat uses to store quite a bit of information. Vid might not be here but any of his data stored in his cerebral chip will be there. Now, I most warn you, this place is a data hive for information about the Chat. We need to steal it before the Chat can do anything to tamper with it. This chip I'm giving you can hold about one exabyte worth of data. However, do not open it, just give it to Blue when you come back, since there will be firewalls and viruses to deal with."
