Alright people, the moment is here. A cloaking field will be projected around the Discovery via the ship’s deflector shield grid, hopefully rendering us practically invisible.

Our sensors are no longer detecting the USS Discovery. We have also lost visual confirmation of the ship. It appears the implementation of the device was successful.

I’m not sure if you noticed, Commander, but I may have altered the parameters of the tracking device in order to amplify the projection of the cloaking field. We can’t see you either!

Exactly. But let’s not celebrate too early. Follow us to Tiwoqua, Commander. We need to make sure this cloaking holds up under scrutiny.

USS Discovery, you will stand down and prepare to be boarded. You will be taken into Starfleet custody and will explain your reasons for commandeering Starfleet property.

Lt. Commander Stamets, something is wrong. Our sensors are intermittently detecting signs of the USS Discovery. The cloaking device may be failing.

We’re past the shoe analogy now, Saru. This is serious! If I leave this unstable hardware installed, it could rupture our entire deflector shield grid. We’d be sitting ducks!

I’m rerouting power from the impulse engines to our shields to keep us protected while I get this cursed thing removed, but we’re stuck here in the meantime.

Understood. Commander, I am detecting several Suliban signatures converging on our position. It would appear that we have attracted their attention.

Well, I think we’re ready to give this thing a try. Engineering are implementing the cloaking device into the Discovery’s deflector shield grid now. All that’s left is to try it out.

This is going to sound crazy, but we need to test the cloaking device’s capabilities against enemy sensors. It’s the only way we’re ever going to know if it has fully concealed the ship.

After our last encounter, the Suliban should be actively looking for us. I would prefer to test it with them rather than Starfleet. It should be easier to escape the Suliban if the test fails.
