Alex grinned at Jez, "Indeed, Lieutenant Mala. In fact, given our technology, it would take little effort to jam the local sensors, but that in itself could be a problem. We suspect that a number of people are very interested in where we are and what we are doing. Thus, if there is suddenly a significant sensor disruption in our area, it is going to be almost like a beacon. It night come in handy, should we need to escape from anyone wishing us harm, but otherwise it will certainly raise suspicion from any local agencies paying attention. You're right to come prepared, but we need to try and be smart about what we do, as well as what we do not do. Good thinking about the tricorder signal though. If it requires it, I am prepared to jam signals and even local communications, but I will try to keep it to a minimum range if that happens. If we make too much of a show of force, it will certainly not help our diplomatic efforts in this mission. Until forced to do otherwise, I suggest a soft hand with these people."
