So, we have a bit of a decision to make here. I have my preferences, of course, but they may not line up with yours and since they might mean some... dramatic life changes for us, it would be best if I asked you.
Some of you may know many of the security cameras don't work. It's a longstanding problem. Some of you may know why they don't work. (If you don't, the less you know, the better.) I can fix this issue so that the security cameras on the Rig work. All of them. Everywhere. However, with the limited functionality of the computers I'm allowed to use, I can't keep them selectively blind. They'll either work for both Jorgmand and us or not at all. In addition, once I've informed Jorgmund that the problem's been fixed, there's no plausible way for us to go back to enjoying the relative privacy we've had so far.
So, in short, we'd have eyes and could rely both on Security and ourselves to spot anything... amiss, like our attacker moving into action again. But there would be no more blind spots, we'd have to be more careful, or find a way to engineer glitches that won't raise suspicion.
That's option 1.
Option 2 is simple.

[The image is of Alia's workspace, largely spotless and polished to a near mirror-sheen. For those with lots of hope and a fertile imagination, no, this isn't her attempting the one finger selfie challenge. Repent for your sins. No, instead it's a few small robots. Some mechanical worms about four or five inches long, something that looks like segmented snake, and a metallic spider the size of a large tarantula. Only five total.]
Apologies for the low quality image. Jorgmund's communicators are rather substandard. For the past several weeks, I've been allowed a small budget to build useful machines and advance Jorgmund's scientific knowledge. As you can see in the attached image, this is what I have available so far. The other options are either too loud or too large to fit into the ducts without issue. I could build more, easily, but I've used up my allotted budget and couldn't put cameras inside of them.
We can send these on patrols, inspecting various rooms, point them at specific suspects to track, or set to watch specific areas where an attack or an escape may occur. I can explain their use to the R&D heads as field testing, if need be.
With these active, we would maintain our privacy but, as you can see, we would be limited to only five more sets of eyes in addition to our own.
Personally, Option 1 feels like the best choice, but I'm not going to take such a step without consulting the rest of you.

Alexa’s great. I still don’t want all the cams going live.

I wouldn't consider the cameras failing a bonus in this specific instance. Perhaps if she fed false feeds while keeping track of the originals rather than just shutting them down entirely, but I believe that's beyond her capabilities without heavy upgrades.

[Alia's capable of doing it herself, and she's pretty sure Brainiac 5 could as well, but cutting Jack out would probably cause some sort of emotional harm, she thinks. Also, he does have skill in this area. That kind of thing should be nurtured and encouraged rather than dismissed offhand.]
