((Zarah's Quarters, USS Octavia E. Butler))


Yinn still had a nagging worry in the back of her mind about this prank getting them both in serious trouble. One would think if anyone could figure out who was behind it, it would be the director of intelligence. But the wind was already in the sails, no point in turning back now.


Johnson: Now, we need to think about our next steps. 


Yinn: Reprogramming the replicators shouldn't be hard, it's doing that secretly that's the problem.


Johnson: We’ll need to access a console, but we also need to do it somewhere where neither of us will be suspect and erase all traces of our tampering.  


Then there were other issues that suddenly came to Zarah’s mind that she hadn’t thought of before.  Sitting up, she frowned and leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees. 


Yinn: We could go to some part of the ship where neither of us usually go.


Johnson: We can do that, but the cameras will pick us up.  We’re going to have to fool them somehow.


Yinn: Response


Johnson: Oh I know!  Let’s get a holo emitter.  Whoever does the actual hacking can use that to disguise themselves.  We can then hack away without discovery.  


A bolt of inspiration hit Yinn.


Yinn: Oh, hang on. You're going to love this.


She leaned forward and paused dramatically. She could have just said the idea, but she knew Zarah would get more excited this way.


Yinn: One of us... disguises ourselves... as Walker.


Johnson: response

Yinn: She can look back at the cameras, and she's just going to see herself ordering the potatoes! And if she shows anyone else, they're going to think she's crazy!

Johnson: response

Yinn: That part's easy. Doesn't the holodeck have everyone's likeness on file? It's hardly secret information we'd have to steal.

Johnson: response
