Mission: Consult the Anomaly
Location: USS Albion, Holodeck 1
Timeline: Current

ON:

{USS Albion, Holodeck 1}

Sprague: ::most of the crew packed around him near the locked exit:: "Sprague Alpha Charlie One?"

Computer: "I'm sorry, but that access code is incorrect."

Sprague: ::scratches his head:: "Sprague Charlie Alpha One?"

Computer: "I'm sorry, but that access code is incorrect."

Sprague: "Wait, wait, I got it... I got it... Sprague Bravo Delta Three!"

Computer: "I'm sorry, but that access code is incorrect."

Andrews: "Perhaps we need to employ a different strategy. Captain, are you sure that your code is two letters followed by one digit?"

Sprague: "Yes, I mean... no. It might have been three letters."

Andrew: "Okay, that makes it a little more difficult, but still maybe doable."

Sprague "Or four."

Andrews: ::sighs:: "Computer, how many possible permutations does that make?"

Computer: "Based on the information provided by Captain Sprague, that leaves 4,752,280 possible combinations."

Andrews: "And how long would it take Captain Sprague to go through all of them?"

Computer: "At 5 seconds per permutation, it would take approximately 275 days to complete all."

OFF:

It's not looking good for our crew trapped in the holodeck. What is Rubbletree up to on the real bridge?
