Shedda was no whiz at computers. She’d taken the basic courses at the Academy and then in her command training she’d gotten more indepth over views of the systems used. And being CSO she had worked and learned from the computer scientists working under her. So she knew enough to know Calloway was brilliant and possibly scary. “So this system identifies digital attacks to our systems. Could it identify and contain a person? Say someone was physically on the ship and accessing the system or does it just counter and stop what the person is doing?” She could see the benefit of such an ability but also the possibility for....mishaps.

Calloway shook her head. “No, it’s simply a computer firewall system. Now, could we tweak it to prevent someone from trying to change programming or something? Possibly, but that would be an extensive additional overhaul to the design process and I think everyone at R&D would have kittens,” she said with a grin.

Shedda nodded, so all digital then. Then she cracked a slight grin, “Kittens are so cute though. But it looks like you have your hands full with just this part of it. How often is currently…glitching? Is that the correct terms?”

Faye bobbed her her to and fro. “Good enough. The issues I have been having involved the integration with the Manhattan’s systems. Remember that we designed a system but I built it on site to blend in seamlessly with the current systems. It involved less disruption to the ship’s systems, but it does mea that if something silly like a relay blows or we don’t have power calibrated at a junction correctly, poof, we have to go in and fix stuff. But now that I’m not working alone, that’s much easier than it was before when I was crawling through the jefferies tubes all by my lonesome,” Faye said with a grin. It was a nice conversation and she appreciated that the XO asked relevant and informed questions. that and she was surprised by her lack of possible unease around Shedda. Not that she had spent much time with Orion females back in the day, but that one woman at Kodell’s dinner party had been more than enough. She was grateful that her time with Daggum and their love had eased whatever discomfort there could have been during this meeting.
