***Sounding different structures ahead…ANAD detecting aspect change in lattice…returns indicate structure could be laminate armor…composition is--***
Winger came fully awake. Laminate armor? Like a hypersuit? “ANAD, display results of sounding…perform emissions analysis…spectrum pattern.”
ANAD sent the results back and Winger studied the patterns on his eyepiece. The rest of the Detachment saw the same thing on theirs.
“That has to be a hypersuit,” someone said.
Troopers moved up to the borehole and began peering over the edge, down into the faint blue-white glow.
“ANAD—“ Winger ordered, “change your course…come to heading—“ he checked the soundings again, “—two one five degrees. Slow to one quarter propulsor. Bond disrupters to half extension.”
