Re: Dark Frontier (Game Thread)
She paused for a moment as Jane finished. "Did Egan have complaints as well? He's giving the crawler access to our labs? Look at the situation Jane, it's already out of control." She said, a pleading edge entering her tone for a moment. "Bernard is out of his mind, this whole plan almost seems concocted to spread this to as much of the station as possible in one fell swoop... He must have been infected, somehow." She realized suddenly. "You have to see reason Jane, even if he's past it. This is just an image in the room with me, yes? Where are you located? Is it possible for you to spread the alarm?" She asked, turning back to the console and attempting to slice past the security system. She needed access to internal comms at least, organize the visitors, warn Egan and Maria, something...
(Not sure if hacking falls under science or engineering, given what shipbased science people do during combat. If it's the latter, i'll use a resourceful for this, definitely)
Caitlin paused seconds into her examination of the computer, stonewalled rather early. "This experiment of his hasn't been thought through near well enough, even ignoring the moral implications. This situation as it stands right now has a massive chance of going wrong. The station isn't built for sectioned containment like that, especially with the scanners offline. That crawler is likely spreading an infection as it goes, making the station at large safe enough would take the better part of a month, at least." She argued. "What he should have done was contain the new specimens before introducing them, at this moment he's spreading the infection to the kitchen we eat out of, even."**ACCESS DENIED**
Caitlin's basic security clearance seemed to have no effect on the system. Bypassing the security software would be an extreme longshot. It seemed Bernard had fully expected she'd try something like this.
"What do I think? I think Bernard is in charge of the situation, so long as you don't interfere. With the crawler already out of its containment zone and the station's autoscanners shut down, it's going to be more dangerous if we try to upset the plan. Just go with it. Bernard's a little zealous about this idea, but it's not so bad. Think of it. Our own little Tentak farm - plenty of breeding material to satisfy an endless amount of test subjects."
Jane went back to filing her nails. "Shame Maria made such a fuss about ethical process when the idea was floated by her last week. Bernard was dubious about her from the start, but her soft-hearted approach was clear. You wanted to know where the crawler is heading? It's being funneled right towards and Egan. Through the ventilation duct you're always complaining about, as a matter of fact."
