    Similar to surveillance, but the lack of pre-emptive warnings.

    “Captain there’s an unauthorized shuttle launch/transport”

    “Can you use the tractor beam/get a lock on them?”

    “They’re too far away/too much interference”

    “Can we please get a warning before the thing actually happens next time ensign?”
