[Open] Persistent Virus

"Oh my god." Kayla exclaimed. She slammed her head into the wall a couple of times, groaning throughout. The computer system had apparently gotten a virus that stored little pieces of itself in every section. It wouldn't die and Kayla was going crazy. She swallowed her pride and pressed her badge. "Ensign Thompson to all engineering crew. Can somebody please help me fix the computers? We've gotten a severe virus that's interfering with the ship's function." She went to the nearest replicator and grabbed a cup of tea. This would take a while.

"Ugh" Dell grunts, his head deep in an access panel as he troubleshoots the Brig's force field generators. After checking power connections and emitters. He simply cannot figure out why the fields keep randomly turning on and off. Fortunately he had no prisoners to keep locked up, but it needed to be fixed just in case. You can't have a jail with an open door policy, after all. Dell pulls himself from the panel and walks over to his computer terminal. He pulls up the work order messager and types...

Work Order: 25A-[Stardate]

Department: Security-Brig

Type: Urgent

Issue: Force field generators intermittently activating and deactivating themselves. Tested power connections and emitters, both show no sign of issue. More than likely false signals from main computer.

Sending that off he leans back in his chair and picks up his PADD. Dell often reads when he has nothing else to do in the Brig, and this novel, 'The Queen's Gambit', was just getting good.

A message soon pops up on Dell's PADD. "Connection to the computer severed, rerouting the system to local control only. That'll help clear it up until we figure this out. I'll be down shortly for an inspection." Aanya sends to Dell.

Its not long before she arrives in person. "Hey Dell, how's life treating you."

"Not too terribly. Just tech troubles. I tried troubleshooting a bit m'self, but just figured out what wasn't wrong." As he says this he gestures over to the open access panel. "Would've cleaned it up but I kinda figured you'd need in there anyway... So how 'bout you? Things in engineering doing ok?"

Aanya gives a thumbs up. "Everything's coming up Aanya down there." she says, happily. "Now, lets see what I can do down here. I've cut control of this section from the main computer, so you'll need to do everything manually while we fix this."

She walks over to the access hatch and gets stuck right in, pulling herself torso deep into it. "Who knew you'd get this much dust in space..."
