DEEP SPACE: "The Passenger" REV. 11/30/92 - ACT FIVE        41.

					PRIMMIN
			You understood the logic of Vantika's 
			M-O when he downloaded the computer 
			memory -- avoid the single file and 
			attack the system...

					ODO
			I'm not following.

					PRIMMIN
			Vantika has to know that all of our 
			security efforts will be focused on 
			the docking ring.  I figured if he 
			holds true to form that's not where 
			he'd try to hurt us... so I ran a 
			diagnostic of all systems that could 
			shut our whole defense array down...

					ODO
			I already did that twice today...

					PRIMMIN
			I know.  I didn't find anything 
			either.  But then I went to the back-
			up systems and I found a glitch there 
			I couldn't explain... so I tracked 
			it back to the waste reclamation 
			system... where no one would ever 
			think to look because it's considered 
			non-essential...

	He holds out a tech device...

					PRIMMIN
			I found this.

					ODO
			Another subspace crossover shunt.  
			Just like the one Vantika used to 
			tap into the computer.

					PRIMMIN
			It was set to feedback into the 
			primary command and control 
			functions...

					ODO
				(examines the device)
			We would have been shut down for 
			close to an hour.
