Captain: they must have our command function override codes.

FCOWaltrs says:
CO: The ships we saw are on an intercept course...  ETA in 30 minutes

SCI_Krust says:
Captain: If we can reload redundant backup command functions, and change the codes, we may be able to regain control of the ship, these backups should be isolated from the central core.

CO_Love says:
SCI: Can you change our access codes..

CO_Love says:
SCI: Do it.

DrOrlando says:
::thinks of an idea::  Computer: Erect a level 6 force field around bio-bed 2, and do not it to be disabled except my me, or any of the senior officers
