While the senior staff was being briefed about the situation onboard, an unauthorized access alert started. The computer access point in the lower stellar cartography lab would indicate that someone without the proper codes had managed to breach computer security protocols to access sensitive information in the ship database.

Due to the nature and location of the breach, alerts activated at one of each of the Engineering and Science consoles on the Bridge, the Chief Science Officer’s main console, and the Chief of Security Officer’s Office. However, only senior staff were able to access more information than that an unauthorized data breach had occurred.

A breach? In his lab? Uh-uh. That made Alden very unhappy. He opened the alert and began looking to access further information. He was looking for what exactly had been breached, what information or thing they were looking for.

~ Cmdr Alden, XO/CSO

OOC: Sorry about the delay on this; I was waiting to see if anyone else would respond.

IC:
The alert read as follows:

---

ALERT: UNAUTHORIZED SYSTEMS ACCESS
ACCESS LOG RELATED TO UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
- System Login: User Ensign UNAVAILABLE, Stellar Cartography Computer Terminal
- Access Data Filter: Star Scans, Stardate Range UNAVAILABLE to UNAVAILABLE
- Access Data Filter: Star Scan Area, Range UNAVAILABLE to UNAVAILABLE
- Access Data Filter: Star Scan Results By Distance
- Access Data Filter: Star Scan Results By Vessel Assigned (REQUEST DENIED - NOT AVAILABLE ON SHIPBOARD COMPUTER)
- Data results list copied to external device
- Access Data Connection - Direct Starbase Link Established
- Access Data Filters - Repeat
- ACCESS DENIED, ALERT TRIGGERED
- COMPUTER SYSTEM UNAUTHORIZED OVERRIDE, UNAUTHORIZED USER INFORMATION, DATA RANGE FILTER PURGE ENGAGED
- UNAUTHORIZED VIDEO AND AUDIO LOG PURGE ENGAGED

Whoever had accessed the Stellar Cartography computer had been accessing seemingly innocuous information; it was only when whoever was using the computed tried to make an unauthorized connection to the Starbase that the computer systems triggered an alert. Additionally, whoever had been accessing the Sentinel’s systems seemed to know enough about Starfleet computers to manually override multiple security protocols. The ability to erase logs - albeit imperfectly, given what the alert still contained - showed someone trained in Starfleet (or at least Federation) technology.

Marcus sat at his desk as the alert came through his desk, “By eck!” he said aloud and shot up to the nearest com unit, “Anders to Alden, we have a Security Breach, I need to see you in my office as soon as possible!”

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Marcus Anders: Chief of Security-

Karl hit the nearest Comm Panel [O]Johansson to Anders and Alden, you two seeing this breach on deck 11?[O] He asked, his usual cheeriness replaced with cool professionalism.

Master Chief Karl - CE

“[O]Aye lad, Me Security Desk just lit up like a Christmas Tree, care to join me and the XO in my office?[O}”

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Marcus Anders: Chief of Security-

[O]Aye sir, be there in two[C] Karl closed the channel, grabbed his kit, and jogged out of his office.

Master Chief Karl - CE

[O] Seen and checked, Lieutenant. I’m headed down. [C] Alden stood from his place and headed down to the security office.

OOC: Cross posting from GM from this thread: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf5/sentinel/posts/237278/

=/\= NE Whistle to Security. We have a crew member on Deck 12 who was attacked. Medical is taking the victim to Sickbay, but the Medical staff recommended someone come here first. =/\=

“Any ID on the attacker Mr?” Marcus asked, already on his way out of the office and towards the lift.

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Marcus Anders: Chief of Security-

OOC: Remember, no portable personnel communications devices in the 23rd century. Anders would at least need to stay in the office to answer the comm.
IC:

[O]No, sir. There was somebody leaving the corridor in a hurry just before I got here, but I didn’t get a clear look at who it was,[C] NE Whistle said.

OOC: Not even the flip devices from TOS?

OOC: Those were for away team members, not crew onboard.
IC:

“I’m on my way lad,” he said and bolted out of the office and towards the lift.

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Marcus Anders: Chief of Security-

Karl exited the lift and nearly bumped into the young security chief “The meeting canceled?” He asked getting back into the lift

Master Chief Karl - CE

“Come with me, one of the crew was attacked on Deck 12,” Marcus explained, “Might have something to do with our leak.” He grabbed the turbolift control handle and ordered the lift to Deck 12.

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Marcus Anders: Chief of Security-

BUMP

Karl shrugged as he entered the lift with the young Security Chief unusually quiet.

-Kieron-

OOC: Nick has been out due to some RL things, but will be returning soon, so I am bumping main sim threads. Just a reminder, don’t forget to investigate the security breach along with the call for the attacked crew member.

Once Anders got to Deck 12, he was greeted with a couple of Science NEs arguing with a Security NE about the fact that the Stellar Cartography lab was on lockdown. It was somewhat of a tense discussion. However, there was one Science NE who was just standing, looking worried. His eyes were looking back and forth, and he seemed to be mumbling to himself. When the Security NE saw the Anders, he gave a quick salute, then waved him over.

“Chief, if you could explain to these two why they can’t access a lab that was supposed to have already finished its maintenance yesterday, I’d appreciate it. All I was told was to report here to keep the Stellar Cartography Lab Deck 12 access off-limits.”

Meanwhile, the Science NE who seemed to be waiting raised his face when he heard the word, “Chief”. He started walking over to Anders.

Karl raised an eyebrow at the Scientist, this wasn’t his wheelhouse so he simply leaned against the bulkhead and waited for the security chief to do his thing.

As Alden, Anders, and Karlson gathered in the deck 12 corridor their PaDDs beeped indicating an incoming priority message from Admiral Brayden.

The clearance level was O-6 and above for full details.

Alden’s access code would reveal: the starbase was initiating a full medical lockdown in one hour, and that all starships were to stay in dock, and to not allow any personnel to pass between the starbase and any of their ships until the quarantine was concluded. He advised the captains to have their medical teams to do a quick symptoms check, but to be discreet. The disease in question had a low transmission rate, with mild presenting symptoms - but it could prove fatal if it wasn’t treated within the week of infection. However, save for Alden, nobody below Captain’s rank on any of the other ships had authorization to know the full contents of the Admiral’s message.

Anders’ code would tell him: security department clearance for quarantine enforcement,

Karlson’s code would tell him: engineering department clearance to put propulsion systems to idle - which helped provide protocol clarifications even before the question was asked.
