Hello Dr. McKenzie,

While this was a bit before my time, I can lay out the system that Dr. Montgomery used in detail.

The core computing unit of every station is slightly different from the next, but most of the software is built off of the same root code with various different forks and branches due to modular additions, removals, etc. These forks and branches usually require a new repository added from a software developer in order for these systems to run properly. Most of this is done automatically from the central processing unit but on occasion the removals of these modules or additions can actually cause corruption with in the central core. It is for this reason that the manufacturer's of these modular systems installed a failsafe in order to clean out these errant remains of code. However, the bad news is this requires credentials that only a handful of people Sirius wide have.

The best way to clear the CCU is to get your hands on a fair bit of Counterfeit Computerware to essentially trick the OS into thinking you have the credentials to reload the CCU. An alternate method, which I do not recommend unless you have the requisite skill, is to manually override the transponder. In most ships, this is a breeze due to the size. However, with something as large as a station, the chipsets could fuse together and overload any number of systems, turning you into a mini super nova that would be seen from Coronado. As such, I highly recommend the first option unless you have someone on your crew with an IQ into the 200's with lightning fast reaction times to boot.

We might have a bead on some Counterfeit Software. I can't tell you the source, but I may be able to get my hands on some should you need them.
