Get you Gone

[cityship]

The meeting is over, the teams have been assigned, the plans have been laid out. It's time to get weapons.

It's time to wish each other luck, and say goodbyes--with the hope that they're only "good bye for now"s.

It's about to get very hairy from here on out.

"Anything unfamiliar—I should be able to get them to attune to everyone who will be there, we've got enough lead time... Reliable enough. Maybe a couple of hours to put everything together."

"How large an area outside the Basilica will they cover?" Though he doesn't mention it explicitly, he's also wondering if they'll detect anything underground, if whatever might approach them that way manages to hide itself in the ship's usual ambient vibration.

"A good distance... it depends on the intensity. Like..."

He might realize that the gears are still turning around in her head. She's not talking about something she already has, she's talking about something she's going to make.

"Like a distributed seismograph, but selective. They'll be able to tune out the normal patterns."

"How well do you think you can make them zero in on something with the same amplitude as the background noise, or less?" And therein lies the rub - in a place like this, where the ship is always doing something in the background, there's such a thing as a noise threshold to be taken into account. But then, he wouldn't have come to Roxie if he didn't suspect she had a means of dealing with it that conventional seismographs with conventional computer programming couldn't handle.

"... Yes. If the patterns are different." She reaches up to adjust her glasses. She's still looking at Gauron, technically, but her thoughts are vanishing way off somewhere else.
