Hadden: "Lieutenant, I think I may have found out what is causing the computer to do all these calculations."

Genno: "What is it?"

Hadden: "The computer is mining the quantum cryptocurrency BitCredit ®."

Genno: "What?!? It's illegal to use Star Fleet resources to mine quantum cryptocurrencies."

Hadden: "That may be so. However, it looks like someone's been mining with the ship's computer since we left starbase. They set it into overdrive this morning to make even more BitCredits ®, but never turned it off."

Genno: "Can we turn it off?"

Hadden: "Oh yes, of course." ::presses button; ship computer returns to normal::

Andrews: ::slides out of the Jeffries tube and brushes hands together:: "I guess I did it again." ::big smile::

Genno: "Actually, it was Lieutenant Hadden."

Andrews: ::smiles fades:: "Oh."

Hadden: "It was actually Ensign Mack's work that led me to the answer."

Andrews: "Well can someone actually tell me what it was?"

Mack: "I was trying to assign myself crew quarters, since I've been living in the crew lounge since coming aboard, and I noticed the BitCredits ® symbol listed instead of the room numbers."

Andrews: "Okay, start over..."

Sprague: ::looks at his watch:: "My, this is a big program."
