Chapter Nine

“Kyle?”

“Yes Annie.”

“What do you intend to do to those black ships coming this way?”

“Why do you ask?”

Annie turned to Crystal, “Crystal, how long has your civilization been using stardrive technology?”

“About half-a-million years.”

“When you first went out into your galaxy, were there other civilizations there that were already using stardrives?”

“Of course.”

“Were many of them using them much longer than your species.”

“Yes, there were a large number of older species in the galaxy at that time.”

“Annie, will you get to the point!” Kyle interrupted.

“When we passed that first large galaxy that sent ships out to chase us, I noticed that all the stardrives we were detecting were on the side of the galaxy we were passing. On the opposite side of that galaxy, we weren’t detecting any stardrives and it was inside the range of our scanners.” Kyle’s eyes narrowed. Annie continued, “And, if there were civilizations in Crystal’s galaxy that were much older than her species, is it possible that they might have developed their stardrives into the blue invisible stardrive fields like the one we’re currently using. And if they have, would we be able to detect them?” The bridge was silent as Annie added, “If they do exist, they had to see when we destroyed that probe and if that’s the case, they would have also seen us destroy that communication center on the moon. If we go out and attack those black warships headed this way, how do you think they’ll perceive us?”

“That’s easy; they’ll see us as an aggressive species,” Tina remarked.

Kyle stared at Annie for a long moment and then turned to Jerry, “Can we detect the stardrive field we’re currently using?”

Jerry shook his head, “We had another ship try to detect it before we left Earth, and it was unable to do it.”

“So, we could be surrounded by ships in fields like we’re using and not know it?” Jillian commented.

“Perhaps they can’t detect us either,” Crystal remarked.

Kyle shook his head, “If they’ve been using this field for a long time, I’m reasonably certain they’ve developed a way to detect it. Jerry, how are we able to detect a standard stardrive but not the blue field we’re using?”

“We’re actually not detecting the stardrive; we’re detecting the disturbance around it from its interaction with normal space. The blue field has no disturbance around it so it’s not detectable.”

“Jerry, the stardrive field is made of energy; surely it has a frequency!” Jillian interjected.

“Well, yes it does but detecting the frequency wouldn’t be as easy as the disturbance they cause,” Jerry answered.

“Is the frequency of the blue field different from the standard stardrive’s frequency?” Kyle asked.

Jerry shook his head, “No, they’re operating on the same frequency.”

“Can you adjust our scanners to look for that frequency?”

“It can be done but not here.”

“Why not?”

“Admiral, it would take a different circuit board to look for that frequency,” Jerry answered.

Kyle turned to Tina, “Can you make that circuit board in our lab?”

Tina raised a shoulder, “I’ll need the frequency you want to
