Actually, on your team you would need at least one person capable of hacking a computer or perhaps infiltrating a computer with a specially designed virus or worm.
Merlin and Nimue can't do it because of their PICA power packs.
That would mean taking the brightest, most qualified person you can come up with to the cave for extensive training.
Everybody else on the ops team would be there for the purpose of tending to the security of that individual...

OK Don, I agree that there needs to be someone with the abilities to "hack' into the system.
Maybe a variation of the VR suit that Owl made after s/he and Narmhan did some research into the old files would provide a basic model NEAT to train up a member of the team.
Only God and David Weber know and they ain't telling me.
I think we all agree that this tough nut must be cracked... it may be easier said than done but, if you can state your problem in logical terms, you can solve the problem. We don't always get the results we expected and the cost is sometimes higher than we wanted it to be but--
I will be surprised if we see it done in this book or if it is, it will be in the last chapter.
13 days and the odd number of hours and counting down.
Just my two cents
One further thought... We don't know that the computer in question is even in the basement of the Temple. It could be that all that's there is a terminal accessing another computer squirreled away in a cave like Owl is. Wouldn't that be fun?

Do you really need committees to plan your parties? I'd like to see the results of that....please, an invitation!
