Data detects Sickbay intrusion

The starboard EPS conduits are the affected system in this event, experiencing a minor but unauthorized power drain. Though not visually depicted, their role is critical as the origin point of the anomaly. Data’s diagnostic work identifies them as the conduit through which the breach in Sickbay’s bio-imaging systems is siphoning energy. Their involvement introduces a potential security vulnerability, hinting at broader systemic risks that could escalate if left unchecked.

Before: Operational with no prior indications of irregular activity.

After: Flagged for investigation due to the detected power drain, with the breach traced to Sickbay.
