<Lt. Cmdr. Kindle - Computer Core>

The night engineering shift began to trickle down into the systems monitor room in the computer core. Chandy was just getting them divided into teams when First Officer Storm's voice came over the comm:

"Mrs. Kindle, I'll be sending down Swanberg to assist you and Castillian with the computer problem.  Whats your status at the moment?"

"This is Kindle. As you might have seen up there, the computer had a momentary lapse. Normally the backup systems should have kicked in without hardly a flicker and then sent me a message saying the main core was off-line. However, neither of those happened. I have my teams organized, but the extra help is appreciated."

"We found a little box that might be the cause of our problems. First we have to reason why it caused the main core shut down to begin with - then figure out why the backup never switched on. As of now, I'm not sure how long it will take - I still want the lower core fully checked out to make sure we didn't miss anything. We will probably be working on it all night."

Chandy paused in her thoughts. She turned her back to the others who were talking among themselves, then continued softly:

"Oh, and thanks for the flowers. They're beautiful."

Pause.

"Kindle out."
