Sam turned around and looked at Val, "I'm presuming that we've already tried traditional translation methods. The use of the universal translator is difficult in that the use of it is detectable. It partially depends on the reading of brainwave patterns. Without that, it is limited to interpreting recorded sounds and detecting speech patterns. I can augment the range and means of detection of the brain waves, basically creating an experimental version of an improved universal translator, but if it is detected, it is going to blow our cover and would risk them knowing we've hacked their network. I've done a great deal with modifying that technology for people interfacing with computers, but I normally have to customize it for each person."

She suddenly got a distant look on her face and a grin, "However...if I created a program that acted like a virus and we sent it through their network, it could download into their communication network and reside at their local level. It could use their own devices to read their brainwaves, not from the comms, but by using internal sensors. I would have to infiltrate their entire system, but we could try it. Again, we would be risking them detecting us, but that is for you guys to decide. Once in, I could own them, but it is a thought. I mean...I can run an entire ship by myself from within the computer, so in theory, I might be able to do the same thing to their own ships. If we can hack their system, I can take over their ships."

She looked around, "I know it sounds a bit scary, but in theory, I could make their own fleets our biggest allies. Shutting down the life support, venting decks out airlocks, you name it."
