Reminds me of the plot of one of the episodes of Firefly.
The crew discovers (via underground connections) that a food production facility has very lax security. In this universe, the vacuum-sealed nutrient packs require authenticity much like bars of gold.
Now, they could break in, steal a few pallets and sell it on the black market - but obviously, the theft would be noticed, and the serial numbers could be noted down as contraband etc..
What they actually do is convince the night shift that they are not needed, and convince the afternoon shift that the protagonists are actually the night crew. They then produce the nutrient packs themselves and simply walk out with them.
Since the night crew never showed up, there is no mismatch with their records, since they obviously didn't produce anything.
- Svip 7y agoAs someone who has watched Firefly quite a few times, I don't recall this episode. The only thing that comes close is "Ariel", where they steal medical supplies off a core world hospital, but that's straight up theft. I don't recall all the details of the film Serenity, but the plot described does not ring a bell. Are you sure it was Firefly you were thinking of? Note: I have not read the comics, if it is one of them the plot appears.
- ThePadawan 7y agoOh my god, I remember now that this wasn't actually canon. I'm so sorry. This was actually from a great crossover fanfiction, "Browncoat, Green Eyes" [0]. It was so vibrant in front of my mental eye, too. [0] https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2857962/13/Browncoat-Green-Eyes https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2857962/13/Browncoat-Green-Eyes
