Captain : You know your station like ChiefEngineer does. Try to find some kind of weakness or entry point.
Going straight through the barricade would be suicide. A weakness or subtle entry point should solve that. You talk it out with ChiefEngineer.
Captain: ChiefEngineer! I need entry points. Reconfigured teleporter? Alternate entry passage?
ChiefEngineer: No-go on the teleporter. He'll have guns trained on the vault's beacon.
ChiefEngineer: Vault's single-entry for security, no alternate paths.
Captain: Can you get through one of the exterior walls?
ChiefEngineer: Not without some noise. It's an option.
Captain: Sure is. Hmm.
