"Warning!" The alert sounded through the bridge. "Warning! Core overload imminent." "No." He gasped as he staggered across the deck to the engineering console. His eyes stared at the core readings, which were reaching up into the danger ratings. "Sit!" He exclaimed as he accessed the control settings. "Access denied." The computer responded calmly. "What did she do to my ship?" He bellowed as panic took hold of him. His fingers fluttered over the keys, trying to bypass systems regain control of the system settings. Warning flights throughout th ship began flashing deep red.
