Occhi-class Surveillance Vessel - Bridge
The ships strong sensors detected the two probes launched out of the listening post and the resulting maneuvers from one of the warships guarding the system. Optical sensors shows its long hull pointing roughly where they were.
"Well shit, they must have detected our tachyon wake." One of the officers blurted out on the bridge, eyes peeled on the screen with the view of the unknown warship.
"Hm, well that was a guarantee, usually we're supposed retract our sails much earlier on so to make the wake not detectable by the time we reach our target, but the Basare wanted this quick..." Reverend Shini sighs.
"They're still about an hour and a half out, think we could make some distance between us and where they're heading, sir?" The officer replied.
"We could, but there's no doubt that they would detect our torches even on the lowest throttle" Reverend Shini responded, pondering on what he could do. "Our best bet is to stay here, turn off all sources that could be detected and lower the orbit we have on this asteroid, hug the surface if you have to." He finally added.
"Aye, sir!" The rest of the officers chanted after Shini gave out his orders.
Outer Space
As the unknown warship loomed ever closer, the small Occhi hugged the surface of the asteroid it was orbiting, the relative low albedo of the asteroid helping the vessel to camouflage with the surface. The only give away was a slightly different shade of black and some unusual geometry.
Occhi-class Surveillance Vessel - Nav officer's screen
The only sensors and equipment turned on in the stealthy vessel we're its external optical cameras. One of them zoomed in on the warship only a couple thousand kilometers away, the Nav officer's eyes scanning the surface and armaments.
"Hm, U...N...S...C? A-Amazarak?" The nav officers said to himself as he continued to look at the view of the warship.
