Chief Engineer’s Log,

When I first stepped onto Obsidian, I thought I’d seen everything Starfleet had to offer. At 1,500-ish decks, a city floating in the void, it’s an engineering marvel—fully warp-capable, self-sustaining, and soon, if the brass gets their way, invisible.

The stealth-field generator installation has been my top priority. It’s not as simple as bolting on a few cloaking nodes and calling it a day. A station this size has to manage phase harmonics across thousands of interlocking power grids. If even one segment misaligns, we could end up with entire sectors flickering in and out of visibility—hardly stealthy.

We’ve been reinforcing the graviton relays in the structural lattice, fine-tuning the subspace dampeners, and testing adaptive deflector harmonics. The biggest challenge? Making sure we don’t fry life support or overclock the fusion cores when we bring the field online. This beast of a station wasn’t built with disappearing in mind, and now we’re threading an experimental system through infrastructure that was never designed for Soo
Soon, we run the first full-scale test. If it works, Obsidian will be the first Starfleet station to vanish at will. If it fails? Well, let’s just say I don’t want to be the one explaining to Command why their flagship station is glowing like a supernova instead of disappearing.

End log.
