"Jerry!" they respond in unison.
"You have to stop surprising us like this!" says Sam as she lands on her stomach, on the oval landing cushion.
"Yeah, Jerry! Now I have wind-blown hair!" responds Clover, as she landed on her left side. Alex landed on top of Clover.
"Hello, ladies!" Jerry starts, "We have a situation. Someone is trying to hack into the 'Star Wars' defense computers in Washington!"
"That's serious!" says Sam.
"Indeed! Should they gain control of the computers, they could use the online missiles for any number of different purposes."
"We'd better stop them before they gain that control!"
"Exactly, Sam! For your gadgets, I'm providing you with laser lipsticks (now in Wild Cherry), stun tan lotion, combination drill-jet-suction go-go boots, and analyzer sunglasses! You'll be using your 'Spies' jet and voice activated hover cycles! Tata!"
Soon the spies are at the SDI headquarters, talking to one of the computer technicians.
"…So your firewall on the computer detected an intruder?" asks Sam.
"Affirmative. We tried to trace the source of the intrusion, but the intruder retreated before we could get a fix!" replies the technician.
"Has the intruder tried to access the computers more than once?" asks Clover.
"Affirmative. The hacker has tried once every day right around 6:48 PM. Every time, the intruder gets a little farther into the computer security layer!"
"How many layers are there?" asks Alex.
"Classified. Only the system designers have that information."
"May we check in the computer?" asks Sam.
"Affirmative."
"It's almost 6:48 PM, Sam! Maybe we can trace the source of the hacking today with our analyzer sunglasses!" replies Clover.
"Right!" replies Sam, as she logs into the computer and puts on her analyzer glasses. Clover and Alex also put on their sunglasses, as they all watch the screen intently.
Right on time, the hacker again tries to access the SDI computers. This time, however, the gals are able to trace the source.
"It appears to be coming from that computer address location," says Sam, as she writes the location number down.
Clover inputs the location number in her compowder. "You're not going to believe where this thing is coming from! It's the Beverly Hills High Computer Lab!"
"But how is that possible?" asks Alex. "The Lab is locked after school, until 4 PM when the Computer Club uses it!"
"It appears someone is getting into the Lab before the Computer Club! We'd better check this out tomorrow!" responds Sam.
The next day the gals have a typical school day, but instead of leaving school at 3:15 PM, they don their jumpsuits and quietly enter the locked Computer Lab. They employ their suction go-go boots to hang from the ceiling to remain unnoticed.
At exactly 3:48 PM one of the computers fires up with activity.
"What's going on?" Clover asks.
"We'd better check this out with our analyzer sunglasses!" replies Sam, as all three gals jump to the floor and head toward the computer.
As the spies approach the computer, they can see that it is trying to gain access to the SDI computers!
"How can an external user use our computers?" asks Alex.
"There must be something wrong with the school's firewall!" responds Sam.
Clover goes over to one computer and Alex to another computer and log in. "Yeah! The firewall has been disabled! I'm going to re-enable it and change the password!" says Clover.
"Wait, Clover! I want to trace our intruder!………….Ok, I have the computer access location number. Clover! Enable the firewall!" says Sam.
Clover immediately enables the firewall and changes the password. The intruder is now blocked. But before Clover could enable the firewall, C.H.A.D. realized what was happening and hit Alex with a quick beam from the camera on the computer she was on. She has been given her instructions.
