Zakharov would have you believe that his vaunted research efforts
will be enough to save us, but have you seen the  security measures
on the computers on this ship? Pathetic! I hacked into the datacore
in less than two minutes!  I say we not take our chances with a
tottering old fool like that and strike out on our own....lift a
few supplies, some hardware, and we're all set.  Anyone with me?"
