SAM: Everything ok? |
Activity - Hacking the Chart Plotter
Edit

Added by ChristianShephardIn this activity, Sam is attempting to hack into the chart plotter using a program loaded through his USB device, which is called Metrix. Using the program, Sam attempts to break the chart plotter encryption by finding the correct password combination, which is given through 8 possible characters, of which only 5 are correct. These 5 characters appear only once, and the program gives a red indicator if the character is in the correct position, a white indicator if it is in the wrong position, and no indicator if the letter does not appear in the sequence. The player has ten attempts to find the correct sequence.

Failing to properly find the correct sequence within ten attempts will activate an alarm that alerts Ockham and Talbot to Sam's actions. They run into the room catching him in the act.

Edit
Once the correct sequence is discovered, Sam is able to locate the coordinates on the chart plotter. Ockham and Talbot arrive, and Sam informs them that it was just a loose display cable. Ockham informs Sam that he can sleep, but that he will be on call 24/7. As Sam returns to his quarters, he notices Talbot waiting there for him, and accuses him of lying about the chart plotter malfunction. Talbot provides Sam with the coordinates that he had previously written down, and Sam doesn't acknowledge them. However, he finally divulges that he had received the coordinates from the Maxwell Group. Talbot states that Sam doesn't know what he's getting into, and to stay away from the coordinates, as he won't find what he is looking for.
