At our current speed we were only fifteen minutes away from the planet in the coordinates. I sat pondering why such am abrupt meeting would be called when an engineer spoke up,"Sir, I think you should see this." "What is it ensign?" I asked getting up from my seat to see what he wanted. "I've been going over a reading I detected when we left the station sir. At first I thought it was debris that drifted into the gas giant but I took a closer look just to be sure." "And what have you found ensign?" "Nothing unusual sir, but before we went to full I thought I detected an engine signature going online. I've been running constant scans to see if I could find it again but I couldn't find anything." this news disturbd me greatly. If an ADD ship detected me leaving the station, it was more than likely we had been followed. "Run another scan ensign, this time search for a trail from any other ship that traveled her from within the vicinity of the station." "One sec... got it! there's a ship who's course runs almost parallel to our own. It's on the far side of the moon Sir." "Keep us cloaked and head to this ship. I want to know who's been following me. Lieutenant the bridge is yours, I'm to going to the projector."
This was an outrage. For the Shadow Mirror to have been followed to a meeting of this priority is... I would not be responsible for such failure! The doors to the projector hissed open and retracted into the wall. Sitting cross legged in the center of the cylindrical dais, I focused my magic into the machine. What appeared miles away from the ship was a perfect copy image of the Shadow Mirror. The ship slowed to a halt, whilst the illusion continued on it's course to the moon.
