[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] When Gaeta talked about connecting various computers together, did he mention environmental controls at all? Because just about every glitch that's taken place in the various episodes was environmental in nature - Galactica didn't start veering wildly off course, inadvertently making FTL jumps or sprouting cannon and taking postshots at the fleet. So there has to be something about the environmental systems that make them susceptible. I think of all the ship-wide computer networks that would be necessary, a full control of life support (lights, gravity, opening & closing sections, air etc) would be most important. Because of the threat of virus takeover, keeping access to navigational and fire-control computers to C&C only makes sense. Think of all the times in Star Trek that a ship got taken over from Auxiliary Control (I'm sure Tim will be able to tell us EXACTLY how many). Mind you, several times they had to go off crawling through Jeffries Tubes just to access environmental controls. . . So, when the Cylon boarding party came onboard, what did they try to do? Seize the life support controls. It stands to reason that a virus attack would do the same thing. Trying to gain engine control or weapons control would be too easy to stop; better to take over something that affects the whole ship and uits occupants. Notes: 1. Yes, I know we saw the ship lose attitude control after the initial virus attack. 2. Yes, I know that another attack party tried to reach engineering or the magazines or something. Why put all your eggs in one basket? [/QB][/QUOTE]
