"Don't all intel lifestyle people like their shadows?" Scarlett replied stepping out the shadows in her body suit "it's a useful cliché I can accept"

"Sorry, I figured it was better to avoid your 'aide' downstairs.. he seems to be a little on the acquired taste side..." She added flatly

"Be nice to him or I'll make you scrub the interior of the Mount with a toothbrush," Clio muttered under her breath.

"You realize I've made people in higher positions disappear without more than a swatted fly for evidence?" She counter threatened

"And if you try it with me I will literally burn you to a crisp." Just to prove her point, Clio turned off the theta wave blocker and focused briefly on a nearby candle, causing it to suddenly light itself. "Pissing me off would be a bad idea. Just show me what you brought for our little expedition."

"Cute parlor trick..." Scarlett stated flatly as she walked towards the window "it's outside Jean Grey"

"If you're going to give me a nickname from a comic book, make it cooler than 'Jean Grey'." Having found her sword and the belt that would hold it at her hip, she glanced out the window. "Okay, fine. Outside then... but don't let the dog out. He'll try to follow us."

"understood madam director" Scarlett replied, leading the way outside and then to a spot in the lawn

After locking the door behind them, Clio followed Scarlett to the spot on the lawn, giving the empty space a curious look. "Well decloak the thing then."

Scarlett touched behind her ear for a moment "Ariia, decloak the Banshee and prepare for a friend onboard..." not a moment later the distorted and shadowy image of a more aggressively designed runabout class like shuttle seemed to 'rise' from the ground like a ghost before hovering a few inches off the surface before finally becoming solid and landing softly again, as an aft hatch opened slowly Scarlett smiled proudly "Clio, Meet the modified prototype Type-X runabout I fondly call the Banshee..." She walked to the edge of the aft ramping and waited while adding "and yes, they did make more of the prototypes than people thought" the opening left a very wide entrance, while generally most Danube class runabouts had the hatch on the side, being retrofitted for cover and more militaristic missions the hatch was instead moved to the large modular aft compartment for quick disembarks and large equipment loading

"Nice shuttle. I like it... makes my Blackbird look clumsy. Hell, it makes the Phantom look clumsy and she's brand new."

"I'm surprised you really never saw any of these, they were the prototype platform your Spectre shuttles were later based on" Scarlett explained "the aft area is modular like a Danube class, though usually I've found the cargo/staging area aft to be most useful for my purposes" she shrugged as they walked forward "wall bunks and head aft of the bridge like normal, Engineering crawl spaces above and below the cabin areas... And then there's this..." She said walking to the doors that slid open to reveal the 'mini-bridge' of the small craft, directly under their feet as they stepped through the door were 4 transporter pad circles in a line on the floor from left to right, twin panels on the left and right walls in-line with the pads mirroring transporter controls, the fore area of the shuttle was like a very compressed cross between the design language of a Delta flyer and the Defiant lineage. There was a crescent center 'helm' panel, with consoles banks continuing along the right and left of the walls until they met the area where the transporter pads started, with ops/engineering functions on the left side bank and tactical and a science/library computer layout on the right. In all 5 rather small seats were affixed to the floor at the respective stations with a captains chair like central command chair in the middle of the U shaped console alignment with large arm panels. while the 'bridge' of sorts was very compact, if careful one would presume people could move in and out without really bumping into eachother, but it would likely be a cozy fit for all if all seats were manned. "As I said.. the pilot platform, if I had need for it, this is all a small strike team would need to mann in the field, though thankfully computer assistance can handle most situations"

"Spectre's weren't so advanced when I left the team, so I haven't seen one quite like this yet." Other than the small advancements and update to the exterior design, the shuttle did feel familiar once she went inside. "Question... how smooth does she fly? The ones we had when I was with Spectre were kind of a crapshoot. Half the time they were great... and then the other half they just sucked."

Scarlett chuckled a bit "Curse of the defiant I guess... same fix, more powerful structural integrity field generators and enhanced inertial dampers, balances the overthrust of the impulse engines and the oblong warp field having such large nacelles to craft body, never even had a cup of tea full to the brim ripple" She possibly over-exaggerated "Oh... and yes you weren't seeing things, you're of the right clearance level to know, but this is indeed equipped with a Federation type Interphasic cloaking device based on the Pegasus platform, perfect in every way though now... well... unless you were hoping to do something impossible like fire weapons while out of phase or really needed to make a call out"
