Leo stepped closer to the screen, his fingers moving across the glass with practiced speed. “It’s simple. First, we lock the suite’s automated privacy door into a fixed half-open position using the crew safety override. That way, we maintain visual monitoring of the cabin at all times for ‘safety reasons.'”
He entered a four-digit technician access code, bypassing the standard passenger interface settings. “Next, we assign Suite 1A to continuous diagnostic testing. The computer will assume the pod is undergoing maintenance, which means any custom adjustments made by the passenger inside will be automatically overridden by the central system every few minutes.” Sarah grinned as the screen flashed green, confirming the new manual overrides were active. “Ready when you are, Leo.”
