Affirmative. I may be able to bypass the station’s security matrix and override their deployment algorithms. In short, I will be able to command their vessels for a short time.

And you can clear the way for us from there. Clever. What’s it going to take to make it happen?

My cyberwarfare suite requires a considerable upgrade to achieve this. I will require 900,000 Dilithium.

Downloading security logs from hangar 7-A, sir. The Archimedes could only have been accessed by a high-ranking Starfleet officer’s security codes. If we can identify the codes, we can identify our assailant.

Not enough, Trip. And here we go. Cross-referencing the security codes against Starfleet records. Our mystery warmonger is… Oh. No, this… this can’t be right.

Let’s just be glad she’s on our side. Helm, Maia’s cleared us a path and I don’t intend to waste it. Take us in.

Affirmative. I may be able to bypass their security matrix and trigger a false flag alert. This should result in their security vessels responding.

Thus clearing a path for the Enterprise. This sounds risky.

We will need to distract the station’s automated security for as long as it takes for you to perform your tasks. It will certainly be dangerous.

Then we’ll have to be quick. Alright, Commander, do your thing. Helm, Maia’s giving us a golden opportunity. Let’s not waste it!

What I’m telling you is the hard truth, Admiral. A Starfleet vessel, a powerful one at that, is responsible for the attack.

Admiral Johnson
Dialogue
If that were true, and I’m not saying it is, then it would be a diplomatic nightmare for the Federation. Relations with the Xindi are at an all time low as it stands…

Seriously, Johnson? The Xindi would have gone for our collective jugular months ago if they had the chance. What I’m worried about is this incident might bring the two warring factions back on-side.

The full might of the Xindi, united by a common hatred of the Federation and backed by the Sphere-Builders will be the end of everything you know, Admiral. Trust me.

If I were you, I’d start by looking into Starfleet’s Deployment HQ for the sector. It’s locked down pretty tight, but Maia should be able to get you in.
