Transcript
CHIEF TECH ROBERT "PLIERS" SYKES: Lemme show you somethin' else. You know how the Kilrathi always had us beat on cloakin', right... then along came the Excalibur? Course I never got my hands on one of those. But I've been puttin' two 'n' two together in my leisure time, and I came up with this little thing. Now, it won't give ya a complete cloak but it should be pretty effective at hidin' you from their radar.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Any downside?
CHIEF TECH ROBERT "PLIERS" SYKES: Well, nothin's perfect, right? Number one: It runs on a very rare crystal. It's got a short half life, so it could burn up pretty quick. That means you might come uncloaked at, shall we say, a potentially inconvenient time.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: And number two?
CHIEF TECH ROBERT "PLIERS" SYKES: Uh, number two... I only got one of 'em. And a wingman who ain't cloaked won't do ya much good. So if ya wanna use it, you gotta fly solo.

Part B.
pliers Lemme show you something else.
he leads blair to a corner and proudly displays a contraption that resembles a world war II radio rig -- about the ungainliest thing you've ever seen, all wires and solder patches.
pliers Kilrathi always had us beat on cloaking, right? Then along came the Excalibur, but I never got my hands on one of them. So I been puttin' two'n'two together in my 'leisure time' and ... (proudly) ...came up with this little thing.
blair raises an eyebrow -- little's in the eye of the beholder...
pliers It won't give ya a complete cloak but should be pretty effective at hiding you from their radar.
blair Any downside?
pliers shrugs and grins.
pliers Well ... nothin's perfect, right? Number one: It runs on a very rare crystal ... with a short half-life, so it can burn up fast. That means you might uncloak at a -- shall we say -- 'potentially inconvenient' time.
Blair (frowning) And number two?
pliers I only got one -- and a wingman who ain't cloaked won't do ya much good -- so if ya wanna use it, you gotta fly solo.
