===Analysis===
The simulation of a hostile boarding was a test of the Security division’s readiness and awareness of constantly escalating situations. In most cases, Security is behind the scenes always there but never heard from unless expressly needed. In the case of the simulation, each Security officer answered the call of the post with no questions asked. Newer members tried their best even after not having the right access or true training for such a situation as what arose. The simulation was a test for the protocols and new implementations that have been set in place.
The readiness of Security was lacking in the means of having enough officers in the vent of such an attack with the officers stretched so thin it was apparent that the Security team was in need of more bodies. As the crew compliment on the Atlantis is nearing its maximum number. It is the suggestion that all crew members that were harmed during this simulation be cross-trained in some form of Security training, as well as training for the crew and well as the command staff as to keep each and every member ready for whatever may occur.
Even with the flaws, the Security team showed exceptional innovation in the protection of the ship. The casualties at the turbolifts were due to an inexcusable flaw in the implementation of clearance to the teams and officers of the crew. The teams that were sent out, including the newest members of the Security team Ensign Jacques Lazier and Ensign Illana Ganarvuss showed they were willing to help even with the limitations that were put in front of them. Petty Officer Davis showed extreme heroism in the task given to him making sure the decks were secure even under extreme exhaustion and duress. His last act to save a crew member’s daughter showed the highest qualities of what a Starfleet Security member should do.
The idea of forcefields to trap an intruder is good, but the distance that had been given and the activation on the call of Security alerts awarded some problems for the ship’s officers and crew. In light of this information, procedure and forcefield activation needed to be evaluated for further use to be successful at the sight of hostile forces. 
Improvements could always be given and the simulation afforded some insight on the measures that had been put into place on the Atlantis. The simulation was successful for Security, but with some small changes and some training offered to all such an encounter could be stopped with the possibility of saving the ship.
Security was lacking so much that the simulation’s biggest secret saboteurs were freely allowed to roam the ship with little to no worry afforded to them. It is the judgment afforded that the Security teams need to be more aware of such matters in the future.
===Recommendations===
In light of the information given above the following points are given for changes so that such an incident does not occur so easily.
The activations of forcefields every 30 meters were not the most efficient way to enact the fields. It is the opinion of this author that the forcefields distance be reworked into the activation of any forcefield activating when the internal sensors of the ship detect a hostile boarding party. When the hostiles were sure to be secluded for the matter os safety and mobility of the crew the forcefields would activate in the immediate AOR of the hostiles and not be activated throughout the ship in a manner that is inefficient and unsafe for the members of the ship.
The decision to add the codes for Security override to the PADDs of Security personnel presents a huge flaw in the safety and security of the ship therin putting the ship in more danger which is not the objectives or goals of the Security team. The codes will now be programmed directly into the commbadge of each Security officer and only activated by the biometrics of each officer. This will provide a safer procedure and ensure that no hostiles can reach areas or find the codes that could give them the ability to freely travel around the ship. This action will be enacted immediately and all command staff will have the same things put in their badges. As stated by Starfleet’s Security Clearance Ratings which are stated below.
CO/XO/2O - Alpha-Two Access
Chief Ops, Chief Intel, and Chief Security - Alpha-One
Chief Engineer, Int Officers, and CO of Marines - Beta-Two
Chief Medical, Mission Ops, Tac Officers, and Flight Control Ofc - Beta-One
Security Officers - Delta-Two
The information herein will be initiated as soon as proper Security procedures have been approved.
The last point is to make sure that each member no matter their function has some knowledge of Security and a way to defend themselves in the event of such an attack upon the ship and the crew. This can be achieved by training and drills performed in a controlled environment to make sure they are ready for such an encounter no matter what it may be.
In conclusion with these changes and the recommendations stated above, it is the judgment that the security and safety of the ship and each of its members will be better suited and equipped for such an encounter when it would arise.
The simulation was a true test of the Atlantis and her crew and from the judgment of Operations officer Kiax the information will be taken to use and improve the ship’s Security team’s readiness for such an action.
