After ending up on the USS Discovery during the Federation-Klingon War of 2256, Michael Burnham's first assigned task was as a data cruncher. She worked to reconcile two suites of code relating to spore drive. Although she struggled with the equations, which she attributed to not being told what she was working on, she found a line that she identified as a mistake. (DIS: "Context Is for Kings") The code that Stamets gave Burnham to fix has been identified by some as being Microsoft Windows coding, specifically decompiled code for the Stuxnet virus. [1]
