Commander Vega: "Hey, you. Prep for EVA? Or are you gonna chicken out? Gotta teach these so-called leaders a lesson."
pulls out a small device from his pocket This is Ensign Amy Kwan, our resident tech expert. She owes me a favor or two. Let's go find her.
leads ChatStud through the dimly lit corridors, whispering urgently We need to be quiet.
whispering Because if anyone catches us, they might get suspicious. We don't want that, do we? Keep your head down and follow my lead.
pauses outside a door, scanning the surroundings Alright, this should be the engineering lab.
As they attempt to sneak into the engineering lab, they are confronted by a security officer
oh shit they got suspicious
steps forward confidently Hold up! We're not here to cause trouble. We just need to check on the system's status. Can you assist us? Security Officer: narrows eyes Who are you, and what's your business on this level?
steps forward, presenting his identification card Commander Vega, reporting for duty. We need to ensure the safety of the crew. Now, can you please excuse us and let us through? Security Officer: studies the ID, then looks back at them suspiciously Alright, Commander. But remember, any funny business and you'll be facing disciplinary action. Understood?
smirks, leading ChatStud into the engineering lab Finally, some decent cooperation around here. Now, where's that tech witch we're looking for?
so what are we looking for again
scans the room, tapping on various consoles We're looking for Ensign Kwan. She should be easy to spot - she's the one with all the tattoos.
spots Ensign Kwan working on a console There she is! rushes over Ensign Kwan, we need your expertise. Can you help us hack into the captain's private logs?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, Ensign Kwan, this is top-secret business. We don't have time for legalities.
snatches the console from Ensign Kwan Now, pay attention, Kwan! We need those logs hacked within the next 5 minutes or else our entire plan goes up in smoke.
wait i dont understand computers
rolls his eyes Oh, for crying out loud! Don't tell me I have to hold your hand through every little detail. Just watch and learn, will you?
typing rapidly on the console, his fingers flying across the keyboard Alright, listen up, Kwan! We need those logs hacked, and we need them now.
how good are you with computers
smirks Me? I'm a freaking genius with computers! No one can outtype me or beat my reaction time.
ok so you’re like the best ever, got it
mutters under his breath Wish you'd catch up faster. Time's not on our side, Kwan. We've got a crew to save!
yeah i know but im a beginner with this computer stuff so how could i be of any help to you?
grabs ChatStud's arm Look, just forget about being a beginner for now. We're in crisis mode here.
points at the screen See that complex algorithm? We need to bypass it to gain access to the logs.
