It just so happened that the nature of Faye’s secretive work meant that she had spent more time in the bowels and jefferies tubes of the ship than probably many of the engineers. Not all, but definitely most of them.

As the turblolift moved, Faye was working through the plan. She didn’t have to go far in order to reach a shuttle, but going straight there was stupid. She needed something first. Ideally, she’d have made it back to her lab, but at least she had the constant presence of mind to lock down her work. Even when people eventually went to investigate, the level of encryption needed to get into her programs was beyond just about everyone on the ship. Just about. But not all. It would have to do and buy her the time they needed for this to play out.

Knowing they couldn’t track her movements through the ship, but that they would know where the lift had gone, Faye stepped out on Deck 5 and quickly went to her quarters. She was expecting a ship-wide security call anytime now, so she needed to hurry. Grabbing a couple objects from a hidden nook, she tucked them into her pockets and pulled out the pahser. She loathed the idea of using it on anymore of her shipmates, but if she had to, she would. She confirmed it was on Level 1 stun.

Slipping out of her quarters, Faye quickly disappeared into the innards of the ship…
