-"It was interesting," the master chief started, tilting his head in thought while keeping his weapon trained on his commanding officer.  "AI uploaded the new prefix cipher, and after wiping the ship's computer, I stumbled across something that directed my attention to the intraship holomatrix buffer.  There was an anomaly in the programming that I couldn't quite put my finger on at first."+"It was interesting," the master chief started, tilting his head in thought while keeping his weapon trained on his commanding officer.  "I uploaded the new prefix cipher, and after wiping the ship's computer, I stumbled across something that directed my attention to the intraship holomatrix buffer.  There was an anomaly in the programming that I couldn't quite put my finger on at first."

-"It wasn't until I ran a search of the coding sequences that I noticed it," he cut the admiral off.  "It was small, and barely noticeable, but it was like a mirror staring back at me... Optical data sequences that used my OWN holographic initiation subroutine... embedded RIGHT THERE in the last program that was run through the intraship holomatrix!  And wouldn't you know?  It had an embedded control algorithm... Something I didn't make myself, but held over my head... at my BOARD OF INQUIRY at the Academy... fifty. years. ago..."+"It wasn't until I ran a search of the coding sequences that I noticed it," he cut the admiral off, maintaining his train of thought.  "It was small, and barely noticeable, but it was like a mirror staring back at me...

 "What algorithm?"

 "I made the program for REPUBLIC, Chris!" Jameson fiercely retorted.  "The Academy's ship!  OUR ship!  It was unmanned and posed NO threat to Earth's security!  YOU and NORAH were the ones who uploaded the prefix codes for all the ships around Earth!  THAT'S what I was expelled for!  THAT'S the crime that was committed!  YOU violated the conduct rules!" "I made the program for REPUBLIC, Chris!"
