pop as the cell’s force field collapsed. Inmate 1982 paused for a moment waiting
to see if anyone had noticed. She slid from her bed and quietly padded out of
the cell and across the small room. She had been put into solitary confinement and
due to the facilities mostly automated system there was not a physical guard
watching her. The door slid open as she glanced cautiously into the corridor
and smiled to herself as she found that it was empty. Since she had been
incarcerated in this facility at the end of the federation civil war and she
had been waiting for some one to give her access to her old files. That had
been <span style="background:white">Lieutenant Commander McGuinness</span> and
his ego had overridden his common sense. He had been a line of intelligent
agents over the years which have seen her as some old lady with intricate
R&D knowledge not a cunning intelligence agent. To be fair to McGuinness
she had been sent here as a scientist rather than an enemy agent and she had
not tried to dissuade any of them of that opinion since her arrival.</span></p>

and the doors closed. She knew that she did not have too much time before the virus
program that she had slipped into the facility’s main frame would delete itself
eradicating it from the system as if it was never there. The turbolift slowed
and stopped as she exited into another corridor which was the last stretch
until freedom. A slight smile crossed her face as she reached the room at the far
end of the corridor as freedom was with in her grasp. She slapped down on her eagerness
knowing that she needed to keep focused and not get too excited before she had
escaped. </span></p>

launch stealthed probes to scan the area around it to make sure that they were
alone. She stepped over to one of the black sleek looking probes as it materialized
on the launch system and opened its top. Its inside had been removed and a life
support system had been added, there was a beeping sound as the life support
systems activated. She hauled herself into the probe and attached herself to
the life support systems as probe began to move into the launch system. She closed
the top and fitted the mask in place as the probe was launched. She felt the G-force’s
pile on as the probe went into warp. </span></p>

the system. The duty staff in the command centre were rudely awoken when the facility’s
computer core lobotomised itself in front of them. Before they could do
anything the facility’s main console began to flash warning icons all over it.
The power core began to overloaded as power failure began all over the facility.
Then suddenly the evacuation alarm began to scream as the computer died completely.
People ran for the escape pods but there was not enough time to get everyone to
safety as the facility was erased from existence in a blinding flash of light.</span></p>

did feel bad for the people who had not escaped the facility, but she needed to
escape without anyone knowing that she was alive. As she fell into unconsciousness
the probe hit its maximum speed at warp.</span></p>
