"Marissa, Follow the Escort ship for now, until I say otherwise." Urban said leaning back in his chair.
OOC: Hammond, Starfleet dont have cloaks, only starfleet vessel who has been able to keep theirs was the defiant on DS9. We can try to hide from sensors but we cant have cloaks.
We can make ourselves invisible to sensors and mask our ion/warp trail that would make us invisible pretty much.

"I can make a shuttle look like a Lokirrim patrol ship." Larson said.
"With all this data I've collected, I can scatter there long range visual senors, make the other sensors think we are the size and shape of a patrol ship, moldify the shuttle's warp engin to match a patrol ship's warp signature, and answer any com call like a Lokirrim born and bred. I've been listening to there com chatter, Sir."
He turned to the right, and showed Urban the small earpiece he had put in ten or fifteen minutes ago.
"We found out eariler that we can punch there shields with a pulleron beam. I have a fix on the warp trail of the ship that took Commander Shepard. We can warp to wherever they have taken him, punch a hole in whatever shielding is around him, lock on to the tracer becon, beam him out, and run. I just need to refit a shuttle with a pulleron emitter." Larson paused to take a breath. "It's a risky plan, but it could work."

"Alright, do it, but first we need to loose this escort. Anychance of getting that pulleron beam to fire now?, take out their engines and their communications, while firing torpedoes to damage them in such a way they wont persue or alert their friends? for atleast a while." Urban said turning to Larson.

"I guess we could take out this patrol ship, or just wait at the border for a while then set a course back to the station. We tell the patrol ship we are going to meet up with diplomats en route to us from 384, who hope to bargin for the Commanders release. Once we get far enough away, we deploy the shuttle. We send it back toward Lokirrim space but far away from the patrol escort that showed us to the boarder." Alan let it sink in for a moment.
"If we attack them now Mr.Urban, and they manage to get work back, we are sealing Commander Shepard's fate, and our own most likely. Let's play poker, not chess." Larson said.

"Im sure you have taken enough of a detailed scan to essentially use the holographic emitters to turn the Concordia into a Lokkirrim battleship, Correct?" Urban said eyeing Larson.

"Correct, Sir. That was one of the first ideas I had, but let's remember what got us in trouble. If we used holograms to try and trick them, they will figure it out right away. Holograms are such a threat to them, they can scan for holographic hardware and activity from far, far away." Larson took a breath as Urban nodded.
"My plan involves detecting long range scans, absobing the energy, and then sending back false data on the same carrier wave fequency. This makes us appear to be the same size and shape as a patrol ship."
Alan continued, "We modify the shuttle's engines to match a patrol ship's warp signature. They burn dutierium alot faster than we do. It would take twenty minutes to modify the shuttle's warp engine, and only require a little extra fuel." Larson pulled up the rough plans for shuttle modification, and put them on the main viewer. Everyone on the bridge took a look.
"We could do this to Concordia, but it would take hours to adjust the engines, and I doubt we have enough dutierium on board to maintain warp long enough to make it back to the boarder. You can forget about warp back to 384 altogether."
"If they go for a visual, we can scatter that beam, and make it look like sub-space interference. This could cause com contact. I can talk our way out of that, trust me." Larson said, with a smile.
"The perfect deception would include a hologram or two, but the Lokirrim are the exception. Using holograms to try and trick them would be foolish, and no doubt, deadly. I fully intend to remove any hardware from the shuttle having to do with holograms at all." Alan concluded.

Ensign Hammond offered to modify the shuttle before Urban gave the order. It reminded Alan of the first few times he was on the bridge. Hammond was eager to get started, so was Larson. The science officer leaned over to the engineer while Urban thought about his next move, and whispered.
"I think we might be able to use your knowledge of cloaks to help scatter the visual scan attempts. We can talk about it after Mr. Urban gives the order to start, IF, he gives the order to start.
