[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] One could either assume that cloaks have certain "frequencies" of vulnerability and that Klingons can choose to tune Klingon cloaks so that fellow Klingons can (partially) see through them; or then assume that nobody can see through properly working cloaks, not even Klingons through Klingon ones. And actually, those could be one and the same thing; a cloak that leaks out on a certain frequency isn't working properly... But the accident in "Sons of Mogh" where the Klingons mined themselves wasn't because they ran into one of their own mines. It was (as far as the dialogue tells) because a mine being laid detonated close to the laying ship - a classic accident in the real world, either because the mine is faulty in general or because its "safety timer" (which keeps it inert for a certain time or distance beyond deployment) runs fast. So I'd say a cloak is a cloak: you don't see through it even if it is a "friendly" cloak. Unless you deliberately degrade it in a specific and hopefully super-secret way that the enemy still might find out. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
