Gath listened to the chatter going on around him and it made him think of something, "I would be worried about any signal that would be out of the ordinary in their area of space. If we eventually must send a signal, We might consider launching a probe that would carry a message and send it to a different location before transmitting. At least then they would detect it coming from a direction other than us."
He wasn't sure how to phrase his second suggestion, "There is also something I learned from a pilot friend of mine that I'm not sure if it would apply in this instance or not. Once we drop out of warp, we can initially use the impulse drive as normal, but then there is a technique that I forget the name of, but you shut off the actual thrust, but continue to keep the mass drivers engaged so that the ship continues to drift at that speed without leaving an exhaust trail of any kind. He used it in combat to be able to continue drifting in the original direction, but could then rotate to fire behind him and attack his enemy with his forward firing weapons. If it is possible to maintain the inertial momentum without the cardassians able to track us by normal means, that could be useful. Such a drifting method would at least make us harder to spot."
