Lucy was still feeling out of her depth. There was the stuff with the weapons platforms and the list of cloned cell donors that Robin had listed. It was getting complicated. She did have an idea about the weapons platforms. If she recalled there seemed to be no reaction to Aeryn’s scan of the planet. Hally’s scan of the platforms themselves had been Tactical and sound.
There were the four Class-7 probes that had been launched to track the path of the qoH and she hadn’t recalled them, yet. If anything the size of a runabout was the wrong size of scale to go unseen, what about a group of probes equipped with a mine or sufficient explosive?
The question would be the necessary yield to do the required damage to a platform or two. Lucy knew her logic was highly questionable, but if an object small enough and going slow enough could evade detection the platforms would be one less obstacle.
“Captain, would a probe equipped with a mine or explosive yield be an option? There had been four Class-7 probes sent to track the route of the qoH and I haven’t recalled them yet. If they’re the right scale and going at a speed not considered to be hostile they could take a platform or more depending on positioning.
“Would need to recall the probes to fit the appropriate explosive.”
It was an idea which if practical would need some delicate work. There was still the option of the IFF board that had been salvaged and that would make dealing with the platforms easier as long as they couldn’t maneuver themselves.
