Mafia ? (Il zotto di pazzo)

It might be connected with the strange goings on around here : Our car stolen, with $4000 of damage; Our neighbour's healthy rabbit dying unexpectedly; Our neighbour's letterbox being destroyed; Curious spam emails about las vegas; The odd curious phone call; Faeces being smeared on our church Car windows smashed and things taken at church - they now have patrols as a result Breakin at church and organ damaged. Mysterious deaths of stars, such as Heath Ledger, Brittany and her husband, Michael Jackson, David Carradine, and others : http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/05/24/what-killed-brittanys- husband.html http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/31103217/ns/today-entertainment/t/david- carradine-found-dead-thailand-hotel/

Connect the dots if you dare, to see the truth.

I messed up the name in the next line or so.
It should have read “Jacob” instead of “Roger”

Okay, sensor shadowing to cloak an item and hiding a teleport signal during teleFRAG fire.
We need to come up with some way to do that.
(Post 1077 mentions it.)
Since the teleFRAG is a failed teeporter, would the signal it gives off mask or obscure other teleporter signals happening at the same insant?

And, wondering further, room breaching using a dual pulse teleFRAG teleporter.
Your room breacher goes in first and explodes with your ‘guy’ showing up in the vacuum from the explosion event?
But where to use it?

And how are we getting Sigma back to everyone else?
[Or shall I leave that section up to you?]

As you have implied, as a failed transporter, such signals would not be anything unusual. Any proper teleFRAG unit, (which is really stretching logic here), would scan the area beforehand, sending back signals regarding its readiness for transport, or the successful completion of transport.

Essentially, for the operation in question, the teleFRAG would have to operate as a proper teleporter for a moment, and then follow its perverted purpose after. The unit would scan for the appropriate object, retrieve it, and then send through the same beam pattern the mixed message that results in the sub-atomic disorder so familiar to us.

It's simply the old stage-magician's trick for disappearing, a little flash and bang, some quick stepping, and then the big finish.

Room breaching, if I'm reading you right, is merely programming a little delay in the normal decay pattern of the teleFRAG. The transported object is stable until the beam collapses, and normal and non-normal matter get to mix. Also effective in delaying detonation patterns is changing the power of the explosion. What you described would take a cracker-jack technician, but that's what genius and simulation chambers are for.

"Okay, sensor shadowing to cloak an item and hiding a teleport signal during teleFRAG fire.
We need to come up with some way to do that."

By the way, I used something similar to sensor shadowing in my book. Here's the relevant passage:

In Miranda’s office, Barbara pointed out a green glowing signal light. “Approximately every thirty or forty minutes, that light flashes a code. Then it just glows green again for a long period, but if it ever goes for more than an hour without flashing the code, it will begin blinking red, indicating that our circuit has been discovered and eliminated.”

“But how could you do that? We can’t interrogate our circuit without drawing attention to ourselves!”

“So we don’t interrogate it, but as long as it’s functioning, it puts a shadow impulse out on the navigation interrogation signal that gets beamed down to certain landmarks, including a nearby peak. I’ve set up a simple relay device to receive that shadow signal, which is only a fraction of the normal sequence, and delayed as well. The normal equipment just discriminates it out as an echo. Nobody ever knows it’s there.”

As they watched, the light blinked a bright pattern of impulses, then steadied to a pale green. “There, one of the orbiters just did a Nav interrogation sweep. Now the station will update its position data. And we get an update of our mission status as well.”
I was watching the "Red Jacket" gun-smithing show the other day. They were making a gun-mount for a helicopter platform. One of the things they mentioned was putting in blocks to the gun traverse so that it would be impossible to shoot yourself in the tail-rotor for example.

I used a similar concept. On my fictional world, orbiting laser forts are up there to protect the populace from the occasional errant meteor, but there is a danger that if you get on the wrong side of the government, you could have them aimed at you!

So I sent up a team of saboteurs, to replace the aiming equipment electronics. The new boards had some special circuitry that added several locations to the "forbidden to fire" parameter, which protected our erstwhile rebels.

The sensor shadowing took place on the navigation side, but all of the replacement equipment's functioning had to be invisible until the hour of action arrived.

If you visit up this way, the police department requests that you bring your own chalk. They’re running low.

Giant talking rabbits.
That have a thing for classics like Beowulf.

Don’t know how devious the EVAlite version of Eva is, she would have had to do lots of devious things behind the scenes for near one hundred years to get that to work when she steals Sigma out from everyone’s noses.

I don’t associate rabbits with the Greek epics, but Beowulf or Icelandic sagas might suit them.

I find it perfectly plausible that EVAlite was plotting for over 100 years. When an intelligent being has time on her “hands” ...

The rabbitoids love the old classics.
But letting the children read Watership Down is a mistake, as noted by their reaction to Buaireas.

Evalite, much like her ‘sister’ Eva from the ‘original’ timeline, is in this continuity a ‘skin job’.
However, there is obviously something vastly different with her.
Pondering where she could be in the middle of the chaos there at he station.
She’d have to be hiding pretty darn well to not be spotted by Bradamante and her huge sensor array.

I abandoned life to have a nap with Kathleen. Up a 4 two days in a row ...

Now I’m going to do several other things while Tom studies macroinvertebrates in our water supply.
