"Keira, stop. Damn it woman, stop and tell me what is going on?" Erin said a mixture of emotions flooded her voice.

“At least two uniformed crewmen were walking towards Astrometrics  with phaser rifles at the ready. There are no phaser ranges on this deck, those going on away missions have already left. I can only surmise they are mutineers of some sort.” Keira said.

"Oh… wait…. What? Why here…. There's nothing of importance here except… " Erin’s eyes dropped to the PADD in her hand, "Keira, I wiped the data off the computer. This is the only record of where we are. If what you are saying is true  they can't get it."

“Having your findings will be less of an advantage for them with out control of the ship.” Keira explained her line of thought as she continued entering commands. “Their main goal is likely control of the ship first, all things being equal Astrometrics would only be one of their minor goals, they would likely already have control of the ship before cascading down to the minor areas. Even with your findings it’s more likely they wish to detain all the senior crew that aren’t part of them.”

(Reply Erin)

“Please Erin, I need you to stay focused, we’re running out of time.” Keira said while entering commands at a rapid pace. “I’ve masked our location. Anyone will think we are coming from the secondary security office on deck twenty.”

(Reply Erin)

“I need you to lock out the internal sensors, encrypt them with the highest encryption that you have, so that when we leave via the Jefferies Tubes we have a chance to get away with out them tracking us.” Keira said, “I’m attempting to lock out the main computer and I’m likely to meet resistance any moment.”

(Reply Erin, Zot IYW)

“Someone in Main Engineering has noticed me….” Keira announced. ~That didn’t take long.~

“Open up Commander. We can do this the easy way or the hard way!” Someone yelled through the door. Banging could be heard coming from the entrance.

(Reply Erin)

Keira began entering separate commands with each hand. “I’ve started the core encryption with a Romulan daisy chain algorithm. Here’s a Mo’Kai Klingon worm to keep him busy.”


(Reply Erin, Zot IYW)

“For complete encryption? Maybe ten minutes.” Keira said, “the longer the encryption runs the harder it’s going to be to get it unlocked. Partial is better than none. How’s it coming on your end?”

(Reply Erin)

Keira could hear the hissing behind her as the two were attempting to cut through the door. “Time’s almost up.”

(Reply Erin)
