The ambience onboard Secunda was papable. It was as if something would happen in any moment. While it was partially true, Zoe William, the scientist in chief rushed to the laboratory. There, she walked to the console. ''you piece of-'' With strength in her typing, the woman tried to put in place many cryptic security firmware to cut the external access of all systems or databanks. By doing so, she hoped that the A.I will loose access to what it controlled so far. Sarah Baker, her assistant soon entered the lab, knowing what to do. She worked alongside Zoe in hope to cut Subject-A001's influence to the engine systems and the jump drive systems. While the A.I remained strong, it was loosing its control and eventually, with hard work from both women, they managed to isolate those systems and redirect Subject-A001 to its cyber-jail, the screen. Both women were panting. Sarah broke the silence first. ''We need to make sure it never happens. The engineers are in the way to replace some infected wires.'' Zoe nodded, more than willing to do so. ''Y-yeah.. Now it has no access to anything and we need to change its code... I am just unsure if we connects it to the console will just make it worse. Better to keep it there until we find a solution.'' Nodding to Zoe, Sarah left the laboratory, heading to the command room. Zoe was looking at the screen where the A.I would be contained. Many thoughts were invading her brain. At first, she believed that maybe someone was behind this, but to be sure, she returned to the console and created many passwords only to access to any files or even being able to have control over the A.I. She then started writing a report. Date: 3rd June 835 A.S Subject: Subject-A001 and potential security breach Author: Zoe Williams 1st of June in the year of 835 A.S. The vessel Secunda met a major dysfunction, Subject-A001 had control over the jump drive systems and the engine which brought the ship to an unknown system. According to the surroundings reported by some crew members, many wrecks are floating around and a strange structure is at the center of the system. While curiosity kicks in, we need to get back and report the incident. Sarah Baker and I managed to cut the connections that Subject-A001 had and the engineers seem to work on replacing some wires being 'infected'. I put many passwords that only I know. If anyone wants to do something with the console, they will need me around. No way to have another issue like this. It was very not professional from our end. I hope... the Secunda will not be fired on. I'm sure that the commander has a way to solve this... even if his credibility will be quite lowered. Elsewhere, after some hours, Sarah Baker was in the command room where Taylor Oliver was watching the wrecks afar from Secunda's position. Sarah broke the silence. ''Commander, Zoe Williams and I managed to 'capture' the A.I and we put a new security firmware. It won't be able to breach it anytime soon.'' A sigh of relief Taylor made. He was at least at peace that the Subject is now locked for good. ''Good news and in a short time... I am impressed. Do we have access to the jump drive systems and the engine systems?'' Sarah nodded negatively. ''No sir. The engineers are currently replacing some wires that the A.I used to access to the said systems. Peterson will surely notify you.'' On those words, Sarah saluted the commander before leaving. Oliver was watching the wrecks afar. He rubbed his chin, wondering what could happened to those. ''It's so calm in this system... I don't like this... Sheila! Are the communication relays are green?'' He asked while being focused on a certain wreck. Sheila Langley, operator in the comms nodded and even replied. ''Yes, everything is green on my end. But if you want my honest opinion, I doubt we can reach someone...'' Then, just when she was about to add something, Thomas Johnson cut her incoming sentence. ''Commander and Sheila, from what I can see, on the navigation panel, we are probably around the Omicrons. So there is a light chance someone can receive a transmission.'' It was kind of a good news. But the signal will be probably bad. It was better than nothing. ''Alright. Sheila, put me on the frequency that has the high chance to reach someone.'' Said Taylor with a decided face. He broke again the silence. ''I will make my report to ARM. After all, they were there when Secunda- went out of control.'' After saying that, the commander of Secunda walked to his own quarters and he started his transmission.
