Even Their Computers Have Goatees
Because 
Ifix had infected their computer with KROM, systems all over the
ISS Voyager were going offline. A squad of engineers, being rushed by a squad of armed security officers, hurried to the computer core to fix the problem - or die trying. It wasn't much of a threat, as threats went, since if they failed everybody on the ship would die. The security squad's orders, however, were to make sure that the engineers died first if they failed to save Voyager.
Like its Federation counterpart, the computer core of the
ISS Voyager utilized bio-neural gel packs, allowing it to think in a more intuitive manner than standard isolinear chips. However, the Empire saturated their gel packs with testosterone, in order to make the ship itself just as aggressive as its crew. This had the unfortunate side effect of causing the gel packs to grow hair, which had to be regularly shaved off before it shorted out the connections between the packs and the rest of the ship's systems. The job of shaving the gel packs was usually assigned to low-ranking personnel as a form of punishment.
"Get out of the way!" bellowed Lieutenant
Torres, chief engineer of the
ISS Voyager. When the surprised ensign, razor in hand, looked up but didn't move fast enough, she was disintegrated by one of the security officers. "Separating her molecules allowed her to vacate the space far more quickly and efficiently," explained
Tuvok, eyebrow akimbo, as they all ran through the expanding cloud of Ensign Harper.
KROM, aware of their actions, abandoned its attempts to shut down Voyager's life support systems. It decided, instead, to immediately begin a brute-force attack on the cyber-defenses guarding the warp core systems. If it could cause a breach in the warp core, the
ISS Voyager and her crew would be destroyed instantaneously. KROM didn't mind that it would also cease to exist, since a copy of it was still running on the
USS Murgatroid and, as far as it knew, on Surak's Razor. Of course, unless the Murgatroid was able to move outside the blast radius, it too would be destroyed in the warp core breach. KROM mentally shrugged. There was also another copy of the Murgatroid running elsewhere.
