A stealth shuttle quietly approached a seemingly random asteroid floating in a field of asteroids.
It elicited no disturbance in its voyage. With hardly any strong light sources in the periphery of Xiphard Base, no hardly any light or other radiation shone in the shuttle's direction.
Even if someone shone a spotlight at the shuttle, there was no way it would become visible!
Through a combination of highly sophisticated stealth technologies, light and other energy seemed to pass straight through the shuttle's structure without revealing anything.
Even other forms of detection such as gravitic sensors and more esoteric hardware were also hoodwinked!
Perhaps the only major threat that could shred the stealth shuttle's facade was if something physical flung straight into its chassis.
However, even there the shuttle readied a response. The vehicle expertly manipulated the ubiquitous space dust and particles released from asteroid collisions.
