The XO sat down in the center seat and began punching in a command to the console. “If my override commands don’t override things, then. . . . ” He offered Sural a look that implied “We’re screwed”.

Beid walked onto the bridge and looked around. “What is going on? All the systems are acting very strange.”
Beid, CSO
“Something has affected our computer and altered its programming. That, or a highly classified subroutine has engaged and initiated a security lockdown. I presume that there is another factor involved as we have slowed our velocity and our outside defenses are not accessible,” he explained to Beid. “The computer responds to questions, however if it feels that one is prying it threatens punitive measures against you. You do not have any such experimental programs in your lab do you, Lt?” Sural asked, which, coming across dry as a Vulcan, might have one wonder if that was a joke or an inquiry.
Beid simply looked at Sural and appeared in deep thought for a moment. “No. Nothing that would perform like this. How can I help?”
- Sural
OOC: Always forget something …
IC:Sural’s PaDD beeped. It was another message from Crawford. He studied it then reported. “Sir, I’ve been sent a report of a ship wide power drain. It is small and would likely not be noticed if we weren’t looking for something, but there is a greater drain in the storage areas off the deflector dish, decks 31 and 32.” He handed the PaDD to the XO.

“I’m going to take a shot in the dark here and say that whatever has taken control of the computer is hooked into the system down there. And whatever ‘It” is is going need a lot of power to take over our sophisticated computer system.”
The XO rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. “You up for a trip down to those decks, Sural?”
“Of course, sir. And, if I may add, Ensign Pierce may be a useful addition to this group. He has certain .. hands on skills .. that would complement my own which lean more to the computerized side. I will collect him along the way.”
D’vash nodded. Your call, Sural. Take whoever you need to get this figured out.”
Turning to the security guards by the lift, D’vash ordered, “You two, accompany Lt. Sural down to deck 31 & 32 to check out that drain. I suggest stopping by sickbay to inform Lt. Oberon that that is where you’re headed. Let’s try to avoid ships comms in case someone is listening in.”
Looking back to Sural, he addressed the CSO once again. “Let me know what you find, Sural. Again, use the PAdd to communicate instead of internal ship comms.”
Odinson (XO)
“We will be .. discrete, sir,” Sural said, sending a message to Engineering to NE Crawford to let Ensign Pierce know they were coming for him and to prepare a ‘tool kit’.
With that Sural dipped his head and departed for Engineering ..
- Sural, CEAfter watch the CE and the security guards exit, the XO returned his attention to the console at his side and continued inputting his override access codes. . . . .
Odinson (XO)
Beid looked at the Xo and said “Sir, we understand the priority is getting access to the computer. But from what I know of computer programming, a lock-out of this magnitude would have to have been done by someone on-board. Correct?”
Beid, CSO
All codes used by the XO would return an “ACCESS DENIED” screen.
