Access Codes
Access to all Starfleet computer systems is highly regulated.
A standard set of authorization codes have been programmed into the starboard
and engineering computer cores of all ships in order to stop any undesired
access to the systems.
Alpha-Two
Unlimited access to all ship's records, systems, commands and computers.
Alpha-One
Unlimited access to all ship's records, systems and computers. No access to

Different officers on a Starfleet vessel, have varying levels of security
access, depending on their level of authority or their duties. The following
common positions, have been assigned standard levels of security access. The
final decision on an officers level of security access, however, is decided
by that officer's Commanding Officer.

a state of readiness for landing operations. Blue alert notifies the ship's
crew to occupy Code Blue stations, and is ordered prior to the starships landing
on a planet and prior to lift off. A starship commander should not order the
start of descent until all decks report that condition blue has been set.
Code 1

speaker is being held captive. usually it is a common phrase like 'everything
