Kirk: What is the meaning of this attack?
\nKhan: Surely I have made my meaning clear. I mean to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I deprived your system of UUCP connections and when I swing around I mean to deprive you of your life. But I wanted you to know who it was who had beaten you.
\nKirk: Khan, if it’s me you want, I’ll have myself rcp’ed over. Spare my crew.
\nKhan: I make you a counter-proposal. I’ll agree to your terms, if … if in addition to yourself you hand over to me all data and materials regarding the project called UUNET.
\nKirk: UUNET? What’s that?
\nKhan: Don’t insult my intelligence, Kirk.
\nKirk: Give me some time to recall the data from our archives.
\nKhan: I give you sixty seconds.
\nKirk: Clear the bridge.
\nSpock: At least we know he doesn’t have UUNET.
\nKirk: Keep nodding as though I’m still giving orders. Mr. Saavik, punch up the data charts of Reliant’s password file.
\nSaavik: Reliant’s pass…
\nKirk: Hurry.
\nKhan: Forty-five seconds Admiral.
\nSpock: The free login?
\nKirk: It’s all we’ve got.
\nSaavik: File’s up, sir.
\nKhan: Admiral.
\nKirk: We’re finding it.
\nKhan: Admiral. Kirk: Please. Please you’ve got to give us time. The machine room is smashed, the editors inoperable.
\nKhan: Time is a luxury you don’t have, Admiral.
\nKirk: Damn.
\nKhan: Admiral?
\nKirk: It’s coming through now, Khan.
\nSpock: Reliant’s free login is 16309.
\nSaavik: I don’t understand.
\nKirk: You have to learn why things work on a UNIX system.
\nSpock: Each system has its own hidden free login.
\nKirk: To prevent an enemy from doing what we’re attempting. We’re using our console to order Reliant to let us login.
\nSpock: Assuming he hasn’t changed the combination. He’s quite intelligent.
\nKhan: Fifteen seconds, Admiral.
\nKirk: Khan, how do we know you’ll keep your word?
\nKhan: Oh, I’ve given you no word to keep, Admiral. In my judgement, you simply have no alternative.
\nKirk: I see your point. Stand by to receive our mail message. Mr. Sulu, lock an Internet connection on target and await my order to login.
\nSulu: Connection pending.
\nKhan: Time’s up, Admiral.
\nKirk: Here it comes. Now, Mr. Spock.
\nSpock: % telnet reliant
\nTrying...
\nConnected to reliant.
\nEscape character is '~'.<\/code><\/p>\n

\nJoachim: Sir, the Enterprise is logging on.
\nKhan: Kill them.
\nJoachim: I can’t!

\nKirk: Fire.

\nJoachim: We can’t reboot!
\nKhan: Why can’t you!?
\nJoachim: They’ve corrupted the file system and the \/etc directory! Sir, we must power-cycle.

\nJoachim: Sir, we must!<\/p>\n
