When Amber turned the dials to access directly the colony’s comm array she found it operational and accessible. In fact she had open access! Something that at the least shouldnt be possible without some level of hacking involved. Someone or something had left the system access wide open. This in turn triggered an automated test message. The print out on the screen read only four words =/\= Don’t trust the cows =/\= how....odd?

Amber frowned. “Ummm… Capt… I mean, Mr Black Wolf… there is an odd message coming from the array. It seems I have unlimited access to it. Which, in and of itself would be questionable. But the message says ‘Don’t trust the cows’.”

She had to remember that the helmsman was in control of the bridge, not the Captain. Though, in remembering that, she once more worried if they were all right. Who sent a message about cows? Obviously someone not in their right mind.

Amber
Comms

With open network access Amber could try to investigate into accessing the colonies systems and data traffic access if she wanted.

OOC: Amber if you want to proceed feel free, if you dont want to wait further for a comment reply on the cow trust

Kohana spun in the chair to face the communications officer. “Did you say ‘cows’, ensign. As in, like, ‘hamburger’?”

He stood and moved up behind Josen , looking over her shoulder. “Don’ trust the cows. . . ’ he muttered. ” Good work on getting access. Can you pinpoint the location that message is coming from? Can we pick up any other chatter.?”
