Brief foreword:
This is a reconstruction and continuation of a fanfic by another author. I
was asked to take this project over after it lay dormant for months and the
author had too many other projects to deal with. I also let it lay dormant
for months, until I finally hit upon a way to get it rolling again.
I'm glad you did! I hope the next part doesn't take as long...
She wiped the sweat from her brow, and tried to remain calm, even as she

Kiyone was by no means a computer expert, but she had picked up a few
tricks...she knew she might be able to crack the access code. Pausing for a
moment, she thought about the few internal affairs officers she knew and
had seen in action, trying to remember anything she'd be able to use.
Cracking her knuckles, she typed [11A2B].
I see they have a *lot* of Star Trek fans at Galaxy Police.
With mounting trepidation, Kiyone instructed the computer to decrypt the
file...
AAARRGH! How could you leave us hanging like that? Well, I'm
certainly intrigued by the story so far, and I look forward to
seeing the next part.
