Pretha wanted to reach out and reassure Odinson, but she didn’t flinch. “Yes, sir,” she responded and moved to the security console. But just as her fingers were about to dance over the miniscule pads, she stopped.

Her brows narrowed slightly as she frowned and turned to survey the bridge. Instead of her password going in there, where it was expected, she moved to stand by the Command Chair. Tapping out the prerequisite combination, she then lifted her chin and spoke out loud. But her voice would surprise those listening. Instead of the confident, sure of herself Security Chief, she sounded like a lost soul. Someone left alone and unsure what to do next.

“Ummmm… Computer? Command override for, umm, Oberon, Pretha… Uhh… Seven, echo, bravo…uhhh… Kilo!” The last word spoken with the confidence if someone remembering something at the last second. As she spoke to the faceless computer, her chin had been lifted, her eyes moving from to side as if searching the ceiling for some unknown answer. When she finished she turned to D’Vash to see his reaction as she awaited the computer’s response.

The XO looked at her with a raised eyebrow. He wondered if she was alright? For a moment, Pretha seemed unsure of herself. Unless, she was trying to play a game with the computer.

Odinson (XO)

=/\=Computer access restricted to Ships Security Officer and Commanding Officer. Ship Status Code Black. Your attempt to access the computer has been logged and a team will be sent to administer punishment shortly. Stay at your current location or punishments will be more severe. Current punishment time accumulated is one hour in an agony booth. More time is subject to be accrued by further attempts to access the computer.=/\= The deep baritone voice of the computer replied. Even the view screen locked out all view with a screen displaying a blinking Code Black.

“Agony booth?!?” D’Vash began.

OOC: Now Sural will have a booth buddy <G>
IC:

=^= Sural to Bridge. We have encountered … an intruder. Human. Dressed in antiquated garb that enhances the physique. We are in pursuit. =^=

With the security lock out to the main computer, Pretha bit her lip and thought for a moment. Glancing up at D’Vash, she shrugged, “It was a thought, maybe the computer would allow me access if it thought I was the only one about.” She bit her lip and headed to her Security Station. She knew it was a long shot, but she tapped her code and spoke into the computer. “This is Chief of Security, Pretha Oberon, demanding ship access. Name, rank and position on file for verification.” This time her voice was stern and she didn’t use her Fleet Code. It wanted a security person, perhaps this would do it. If not, they were no worse off. As she waited, she glanced back at D’Vash and shrugged like she was at a loss on what else to do.

Pretha

In response to Sural’s call, D’vash began to bark out an order. ‘Computer, lock down all access from decks 31 to----Dammit.”

While waiting to hear from Pretha again, the wheels in D’vash’s mind began to turn. Agony booth? Where had he heard that term before?

A moment later, an idea began to form in his mind. He realized giving the computer an order was a moot point at this juncture. =^=Proceed with caution, Sural. it looks like your going to be on your own with the people you’ve got.=^= He left the channel open to Sural could hear his next order.

“Computer!! This is Cmdr. D’vash Odinson of the Imperial Starship Olympic. From this moment on, I am assuming command of this ship. Captain Thorne is unfit for duty and is to be arrested and taken to the brig for. . . .interrogation and will be dealt with accordingly.”

He turned to Pretha and the rest of the bridge staff and held up a hand to belay their comments and questions. “I am appointing Lt. Oberon as my second in command until she has proven herself to be a hindrance to my command. Lt. Sural is now third in command.”

The wheels continued to turn for the XO. Either they were now in the ‘mirror universe’ of the Terran Empire, or someone from the alternate reality had come aboard and replaced the Olympic’s original computer with one from the Terran Empire.

“Helm, give me a visual of the surface of the ship’s saucer,” he ordered The the registry showed ISS instead of USS . . . he didn’t want to think about the implications.

Odinson (XO-temporarily taking command of the ship in a coup)

=^= Acknowledged .. Captain =^= Sural replied.
