It was clear from their response that something was up with the Mgalekgolo pair... But Roger didn't know near enough to assess what. This disturbed him, as it threw a kink into plan A that had already been set in motion. In the business he was in though it never paid to have only one or two plans. Like a good strategist you set up a tree of possibilities, and planned to improvise when a branch was lopped off, as was being done now by the noncommittal pair. Pulling out his data pad Roger called up ships control and had the in-bay loading system activated. While it was moving the mobile pallet with the Mgalekgolo pair's shields and his canisters to a place by the outer bay door, he donned the radiation suit. Before placing the final seal on the radiation suit he said "I'm going to mostly arm your weapons now, though I don't have time to complete the process without harm to myself. When the shipmistress arrives a code word will be said and explosives will go off, freeing you from both crate and chain. You'll need to issue a half twist and connect the last wire, but your cannons will then be active.”.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Being sealed inside the anti radiation suit, Roger didn't hear the alarm on his pad of a hostile system intrusion into the ships database, though he'd see the notification once he checked his pad. Not that Chubs would know, as the default anti-intrusion software Chubs used was based on date changes and user tags... easy enough to spoof. Roger however had a system from Earth based on the amount of external traffic from internal requests. Once in the system Dexter would find it had free range of the system, but would probably notice a slightly more encrypted file containing the command override Roger has (encryption enough to prevent another human from gaining access, not that it could stop an AI). The command key would provide access to everything, from all communications (including the traffic from Roger to Ms Bates back on earth, and spoofed 'client' messages), through looped and original versions of the security camera footage, to the signal to detonate all the explosives and their locations. Not that it couldn't get that information anyway... None of the systems on Chubs ship could prevent an AI intrusion.
