Wait a second, why are we only transmitting audio? If we transmit visual as well, we should be able to keep an eye on each others bridges for suspicious activity.

I don't know if that would work, seven ships on one screen, but we can try it...

What, you've never heard of a split-screen system?

Though I doubt it'll reaveal much. Our ships all have an enormous amount of computing power. Any reasonably skilled computer expert would be able to have the computer transmit a false image of the real crew and an undamaged bridge.

In any case, I suppose it can't hurt.

"You know I agree maybe just a quick shot of what our bridges look like to put everyone's minds at ease. If you see a captain with an eye patch and a peg leg open fire."

alright, I'm falling into formation along Rochey's pattern, I've also established visual.

I think its a useless idea if you hope to look for the pirates. How hard would it be to clean up a bit and replicate some uniforms? Apparently, they are familiar enough with our systems to compatantly man Starfleet ships, so they certainly have the skill to pose as the crew.

Good point Mark -begins transmitting visual- but if we combine visual transmission with the constant sensor scans, as well as the globe formation, we should be able to monitor things more effectively.

:::grumbling:::: At least till that damned blackout comes along again.

Yeah, once the black out comes around we're all screwed...

The Captain of the USS Monroe activates the screen of his own bridge, "Everyone should put their bridge on the view screen. Unless of course you're buying for time to hurry up and clean up."

*activates viewscreen*
Sorry it took so long to put it out, the blackout seems to have shorted a couple systems out, thank goodness my sensors didn't go out...

::activates viewscreen::

I suppose this idea is better than nothing, but I suspect that the pirates will be able to circumvent it.

fairly easily, heck with enough time, they could pose as a starfleet captain from their own Bridge

So, does anybody have any ideas?

well, now that we can see each other, we can scan the official files for each of us, see if the picture matches...maybe question each other about some of the details from our lives.

"Easily fooled yes, but its a start. Run recognizance software on the crew you see's pictures and see if any problems arise. If this doesn't work we'll have to move on to plan B."
