Rokar looked around the room. The station was quiet at this time of night; barely anyone was around, aside form a stray security constable; it was the perfect hole in the security grid. Taking his time, he pulled himself out from the old jeffries tube hatch way, and was careful to close it so it wouldn't seal. Then the lights suddenly came up.
His reflexes kicked in, and he jumped back into the tube as a guard walked into the office. "Hello!" Rokar heard the guard call. "Is anyone in here?" Rokar activated his tricorder as the guard walked past. He gave a silent thanks to his grandson for showing him how to track down these ghost tubes, as he'd called them. A little something left-over from when every ship and station was built; tubes originally meant to house conduits and such, but never utilized.
He cracked the hatch open, just enough to see what was going on. The guard was gone, but the lights were still on. He checked his tricorder; the guard had definitely left the room, but there was a backup sensor which had been activated. It was probably an auxiliary system for whenever the office was being swept off-hours. He grinned to himself as he hacked into the grid and set-up a sensory feed-back loop to trick the sensor.
"Too easy," he whispered to himself as he once again opened the floor-panel and crawled out. This time being much more careful, he crouched over to one of the secondary panels in the rear of the office and began his work.
"Computer, list any arrest warrants for a Rokar Quas." He asked. The computer came to life with his request for information, bringing up several warrants from all of the various powers in the Alpha Quadrant. The only one he was interested in however, was sitting at the very bottom of the list.
"Computer, delete warrant pending from Starfleet Medical," he ordered.
The computer beeped back; "Unable to comply. Level Beta-One authorization required." The El Aurian pulled an isolinear chip from his pocket, and inserted it in to one of the auxillary data ports. Almost immediately, the computer began to work quickly. Then the warrant disappeared.
"Warrant deleted. Routing of subspace update complete." The computer called. Rokar grinned as he pulled his chip from the port, and deleted his traces.
"Good work."
