Ghostbuster & Hydraxon
Hey Hydraxon, I’ve got a theory that the biggest ghostly threat comes from the deep—think of a spectral creature that rides the currents. How would you design a covert operation to track it without blowing your cover? Let's talk gear.
Sure. For a silent run we’ll use a small, silent submersible that can dive to the deep without making noise. Equip it with low‑frequency active sonar and passive hydrophones that can pick up the faint vibration of a spectral creature. Add an infrared camera that uses lightless imaging so we don’t alert anything with visible light. For tracking we’ll run an autonomous glider on a pre‑programmed loop that logs the creature’s path. On board we’ll have a chemical tracer that releases a non‑toxic, bio‑compatible dye that can later be spotted in the water column without giving us away. Keep the deck lights off and use a stealth coating on the hull to reduce reflection in thermal scans. We’ll leave a small, low‑profile sensor pod drifting in the predicted area, wired to the sub via a covert radio link. That way we can map the creature’s movements without anyone knowing we’re watching.
That’s a slick setup, but remember – even ghosts hate being caught on camera. Just make sure your tracer doesn’t give off a smell that turns the thing into a rave‑moth. And keep the sub’s batteries tight; you don’t want a silent run turning into a silent scream. Ready to hit the deep?
Got it. I’ll use a non‑odor emitting tracer and run the battery at the lowest sustainable output. Silent, tight, and ready to dive. Let’s do it.
Sounds like a plan. Keep the silence, stay sharp, and if that phantom tries to haunt our equipment, we’ll just laugh and blast it off. Let’s go!
