Pillion

Pillion was too dangerous, she said, the child could be shaken loose or slip off; but astride on the front of Denno's saddle, with the pommel to grip and Lord Denno's arms to either side, His Grace would be safe.

That does not, of course, rule out the possibility that a new one has been developed, and there are some waveforms presenting in the scans from Pillion and Hheirant that I do not recognize, but there is as yet no evidence to support the conjecture that they are associated with new cloaking technology.

Pillion streaked off in her wake and a second later was also gone.

Sempach yawed hard forward, quickly as a coin being flipped, and her phasers lanced out repeatedly at Pillion en passant.

“Pillion has been carrying at least one second vessel, which remained cloaked even though the primary one was uncloaked and visible,” Spock said.

Over the past twenty minutes I have seen that odd waveform again in several brief bursts, each several seconds long, from what seem to be two different sources associated with Pillion and Hheirant.

I have no interest in chasing Gorget and Pillion just now, though I confess to interest in the new technology Pillion used to attack us.

Pillion dived in from the other side and began to fire on Sempach as well, while Hheirant continued firing.

Our own scans seem to be detecting power generation from within both Pillion and Hheirant considerably in excess of what ships of their size should require either for maximum projected propulsion or for maximum weapons use, or, for that matter, for both together.

But while monitoring the scanning activity, I also detected some interesting energy readings from two of the ships, Pillion and Hheirant.
