Timeline: alternate Season Five: The End Of Game after Wesley gets caught and Data frees the senior staff of the crew
Sypnopsis: After being freed from the K'tarian Etana Lol's control the crew gets th truth into why Wesley Crusher is looking sick now. Realizing that he's possibly been turned into the next victim for whatever scheme the K'tarians are planning. They decide to prevent that by keeping him home until he's fully recovered and at the same time change what the rest of the season proclaims.
While at the same time ignoring what the traveler says to them about Wesley as they plan to keep him home for the rest of the season leading into the next episode focused on him and his current squadron at the academy.
Disclaimers: The characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me and everything else belongs to the movie company and the creator.
Warnings: This story is going to be alternate reality from the end of this episode and forward, as what if the game had far reaching consequences than they were expecting and as time went on the bonds between him and the sextet had deepened even further, as this reaches season seven and his future.
If he'd been part of the enterprise for a following few months and the repeated traumas effect him enough he's choosing to stay longer. But in this story Journey's End to Nemesis never happens and the stories leading into Nemesis never happen and he, the O'briens, Riker, Worf and Deanna never transfer off the enterprise as they stay with the crew and Starfleet after things end.
All characters named that were not in the show, are members of the un-named members of the crew in each episode, but the ones named the most are part of the engineering crew and Geordi's team and the ones Wesley spent the most time with. Aside from a guest appearance from the duo in 'The Naked Now.', and the duo that are his age, next to Robin Lefler.
Chapter 1: The Aftermath Begins
As Wesley Crusher slumped forward he put his hand to his forehead, as his mother moved to him, as the adrenaline in his system gave out. "At the current moment she crossed the line between attempted conspiracy and attempted murder. But I wasn't near the shaft when it hit me right now, in fact those spasms, whatever is causing them and I don't think it's caffeine anymore, because caffeine is easy to deal with."
"But possibly a speedball effect, a mixture of caffeine and amphetamines or just ethanol we have to check that out, because I don't know how much more of this I can take. I never took in more then maximum safest dose, I'm 19, I can't handle that much right now, but whatever these were tanked with. I think you and Dr. Anenzi better look into it, before this gets any worse, Data." he said as he pulled it out of his pocket then.
"I've had five in the side of 24 hours since this started after I saw the transmission between them and Lol, but there were three just before I got you back online. Another, before I headed for my quarters and then a fifth in the shaft, but I was on the floor when it happened. But it was close, had I'd not been on the floor when this happened, she could have killed me here." he added and he nodded as he moved to him at that.
"And by driving you into the extension shaft when doing it, you had two in the Jeffries tubes and three in sickbay last night. And the last, had you not been at the bottom of the shaft when it hit it could have caused you to break your neck if you fell through the shaft when it hit you. Yeah I'd call that attempted murder alright and the stupid fool that caused the tubes to be locked is MacGregor." Dayton said to him gently.
And Data moved to him as he gave it to him. "How close was it in the tunnel if you told me that, Wes?" he asked and he sighed. "Way too close, had I been directly at the extrance into the shaft or climbing down the fall could have done it. Now, at the current moment, because the landing barely broke my ankle and I had another in the shaft, but I was on the floor when it happened." Wesley said and they nodded to him.
"What's left of your strength bro?" Charlie Dayton asked and he sighed softly. "Nothing, I've got nothing left right now at the moment, I used it all to get us this far, but I took another dose, before they got me in here. One thing's for sure, when mom hear's this and hears what you and I have to tell her, she's going to kill Lol. And whoever's on the ship that's working for her, but what I do know right now is that I'm wiped out.
"But this is just beginning Charlie, we won the first round and with the fact that it doesn't work on androids, it's going to be the secondaries orders are to get it back on us. Of the JV junior crew now and, thankfully, it's fifty clean to one secondary, but we need the adults to protect ourselves, because the ones getting it. They're all adults, and they're stronger then we are right now, but my case, I need them protecting me even more."
"But without that next dose, I'm not going anywhere for while right now here, but I have nothing left, the more strenuous the exercise when it comes to natural stimulates. And the faster it's going to give it out on you, I channeled every ounce of energy I had left and the latest dose the one I took earlier. After she got this one, it wasn't from that syringe, I hid, gotten a recharge and took one of the ones from my supplies now."
"And drained that last dose, but this one dad gave to her, was the normal dose, the other one I took was keep me going this one was to regulate the headache and my body temperature." he said and Dayton nodded. "Let me guess that headache only got worse since this started and you needed something to take the edge off before you commed us last night?" he asked and he nodded to him then as he said it to him.
"Yeah and with you, Robin and me knowing Nick and Peter way too well, I think you know what I mean now, we're Gammas and that means, if we were in the late 20th to early 21st century. We're SGC, but Nick, Jean, Peter and Derek are all NID, but as cadets, to save Sito right now. We have to check that episode before she does something she's going to regret, including the fact that Josh and I are her best friends right now."
"But Kate and Tony pulled me in and the five of us were working out the best way to handle this now, is by setting a trap and preventing them from destroying my career by bringing his down. And Jean with him, but that's my intention, Robin told me the truth and it's ending right now." he said and Dayton nodded in agreement to that as they ended the conversation at that remark as Wesley sighed in relief that they did it.
'It worked, I did it, four choice option, choice four, works every time now.' he thought as he looked at the sextet and the added eight members of the room, aside from his new team mate, as he saw them all focus then he relaxed completely then he slumped forward in exhaustion then. As he felt his relief shoot through him, it was then he felt the pangs of a severe caffeine headache hit him then as he leaned forward at that
As with it then there was a massive jolt of exhaustion as his mother looked over as she said it to him softly as she crouched in front of him. "Honey you okay." She asked as she ran a hand through the hair at back of his head and he nodded in exhaustion as he thought it to himself. 'No I'm not mom, I feel like I've been run over by a truck and I've got a massive headache.' he thought as the next thought shot through him.
As he tried to figure it out then as he said it mentally as she sat in front of him and he rested his head against her shoulder as the next thought shot through him. 'Oh god my head, what's wrong with me.' he thought, feeling his exhaustion taking hold, as the quintet looked at them. "Data, what's the added side effect of caffeine after being exposed for the time I was?" he asked and he looked at him gently at that.
"Added headaches and lethargy in the come down?" he said and Wesley nodded as he thought it over. "Would extended exertion, be enough to drain it, before dealing with stage two, because I've just been put through the workout from hell regarding this." he asked and Data nodded. "Wes what the hell was in your system to cause you to start having body temperature spikes?" Dayton asked him softly and he sighed as he said it.
"Caffeine, but if the pills were part of the plan, we have to have them analyzed, though if they're not genuine, but bio-engineered and we find a copy of those pills here." he said and Dayton nodded. "And whoever is possession of them is the third piece to this conspiracy. And speaking of which, why did your friend show up exactly?" he asked and he explained that to him, knowing he was going to be ticked off then.
"It's not a long shot at all, but first they framed us for a third party decision by Maxwell blowing the supply ships. And they had these headsets in them, but that's one, secondly they turned Commander La Forge into a drone to assassinate the Klingon leader and this is attempt three. But all of them were in the same time frame, seven months, just after I arrived at the academy." he said and they both nodded as he went further.
"Someone is forging the signatures of the secondary CMO on every ship in the fleet and the patients are every kid who's family is on the ship, who's parent is a Starfleet officer. I'm the latest one on the list and with me is Eli Anenzi, as to that she and Specialiat Riker were coming to report this to mom and the captain. Before the axe fell and I get turned into the target, whatever her plans are, is connected to this."
"Though I was the intended target now to get these into the federation, the commander was meant to get these on the ship, but if I'm the target, it's just turned into portion three of the puppet masters now. In fact I just saw her thoughts when he was looking at me, I'm now the intended target, whatever else she had planned involved me in it. But it's after the chase down, that's what happened today and last night now."
"Chapters five throught ten of the movie are the next piece of that video game, but that and chapter three of the game are left to the adult crew now. But from here, chapter two is after they did the upper body strip search and he gets taken himself. But every piece to that portion of the story has come to fore, and with it where do you and Robin come into this, now that we won this round, but the hosts still have an added issue."
"But with us being the duo that were together on the movie, I'm possibly the chracter with the most knowledge of this right now, our department. Everything the K'tarian rebels need to get that into the federation, in the same the titan slugs in the story did, I possess. Knowledge of bases, the academy procedures, our defenses and everything else, if they turned me into a host, they have what they need."
"Just to get it into the federation, but I can't return to earth, we have to wait it out now, I'm the captain after he got arrested and assimiliated into the Borg." he said and Dayton nodded slowly at that. "I just graduated four months ago, my father is the secondary CMO on board the Hood, great first me and then you. Alright to break this down that's one piece of this conspiracy, and the other is a puppet master notion."
"By spreading this disease off of our ship and infecting the other eight towns, the military base, and the college with it, to get it further into the country government. And you were meant to get it into the school, but you're right, we can't let you go back or it's infecting the entire federation we have to wait it out. Until whatever her plan is right now goes through, especially if you're the drone meant to destroy us."
"But we've become a trio, I'm your best friend and to break the movie version of that novelization down, the puppet masters. You're my best friend Wes, I'm not losing you, so we do this in the same way they did now, by making sure the second host is arrested and keep you from getting off the ship. If that's the alliance's plan it's not going to work, because once the crew hears this they're going to kill them both later for it.
"Especially for putting us in this position and when you were in no condition for it right now, but he virus gets into two teenage locals and it starts spreading till it infects the entire town. They catch one of them and bring it back for study discover their team mate has become infected and then after it escapes. They have to do an upper body strip search after the narrator's best friend gets back with the mission intel, to break that down."
"She's the girlfriend on her way to becoming his wife, I've take the place of his best friend and the duo, his father. And you're playing the narrator, and we're your trio now, that makes Hanson the said team mate, and the duo your father, as for Data the scientist connected to them. Every piece of the first seven to ten chapters has gone active right now." he said and finished with the next sentence with a furious growl.
"No I'm not using weapons here just to prevent you from escaping if you get turned into the host next. And I find the host that nearly kills you if this starts a second time and I'm going to kill him, before I throw him in a detention cell!" he said with a furious growl at the news. "Too late, you won't have to, because they will if we find him and it nearly kills me in the process." he said to him and Dayton pulled him into a hug at that gently.
"I don't care what Hanson, let alone Nick, says, nothing is getting between us man, but we lost contact before finding each other here. I don't give a damn what happens now man, I'm not losing you buddy, you're my brother, my best friend, I'm not losing you." he said and Wesley nodded. "Me too man, but listen it's time you told them the truth, to how Robin, you and I were acting around each other for the last week."
"They hear this and they're going to know I just found the rest of my team and it was after I left, but my only chance now, with you here and me home indefinitely, is his plan has just been circumvented now, Charlie. We both know what he wanted and it's getting worse right now, I just want off the team now." he said and Dayton nodded. "Don't worry bro, I'm nipping this in the bud, right now." he said and Wesley nodded to him.
"Like I said, I'm going to have to tell them the truth, it's the only way now, so he doesn't do to you. What that lunatic did to the title character in that movie, I'm not having your career destroyed so they can get off Scotts free next. One option left, you're out of his influence and home where you belong, you have your trio with me and Robin. And he's lost his grip on you, now, but we have to figure out why you're this wiped out."
"Because, if this was part of the plan, it's by draining you this dangerously." he said to him gently and Wesley nodded in agreement. "I think that the first part was part of her plan and the other was we both know what happens once separated from our parents. If their medical experts, our peers try to get us to break habit. And said habit created from the time we're Alex's age and they want us to cut loose after that now."
"To answer your unasked question regarding MacGregor, his possible relative is my own personal boogieman. If you've seen the sextet when they see him, and crowd around you to protect them, it's because we were all kidnapped by his look alike four years ago. When we were fifteen, the captain got us out, but ever since its the case of psychological nightmares now, in her case, she was four and nearly five years old at the time."
"And at that age, healthy medical habits when your parent, or parents, are health professionals." he said and Dayton nodded. "No matter how hard your peers want you to loosen up and break habit. We can't, because we were raised on healthy habits food wise, we don't drink or smoke let alone do drugs, we eat healthy and we take our vitamins." he said and Wesley nodded as he answered him and he finished that remark.
"Aside from the one healthfood down fall in our cases, and it's small batches of junkfood and the one I'm using since I called off the soda. It's candy bars and chocolate chip cookies, and it's in your case as your father is rehab doctor." he said and Dayton nodded. "Yeah, that'll work, they have the necessary levels of both to take the edge off, but peer pressure is a nightmare." he said and Wesley nodded to him gently then.
"That's the catch, peer pressure and my sleep schedule has been so dismantled, it's I'm to exhausted to focus, I need that sabbatical." he said and he nodded. "God, I've never been so relieved to have my best friend back right now, I was getting worried when I saw you when you came home. But seeing you like this I'm ready to kill Nick right now for pushing you this hard right now at the moment, but your mother."
"She hears what I have to tell her, the commander and the captain, with the fact they took my recommendations last night regarding you. I'm going to bat for you so we can get you out of the team and the academy indefinitely for the next eighteen months. If our lives got turned into a tv show in the 20th century I think this could be it, but one of the Tollan refugees the leader was actually Q himself now."
"And this year could be the fifth season, but season 5 has been discontinued for you in our future until you're fully recovered. But I learned that the show was the alternate reality in the original timeline, but Q and a member of the Ancient freedom fighters. They gave our grandparents a chance to change our history and they turned our present into a tv show as a result now at the moment so we just check the episode now."
"Because if the next episode focused on me has Nick in it, that's our only chance now to prevent the traveler from destroying me." he said and Dayton nodded to that. "And it leaves only one option and it's preventing him from destroying your future and bonds with the quintet. And with me and Robin here, there's no chance at all of that now, because instead of there being only two episodes with you involved on the show."
"You're here till the next episode focused on you and that prevents them from destroying your life altogether at the moment." he said and Wesley nodded in agreement to that remark then as he thought it over. 'I couldn't have just depleted all my energy now, what's happening to me. Unless..., oh no, not now, it can't be. I stopped taking the pills how could the effects give out now finally.' he thought as he answered him at that
"If they got irritated that this situation took this long, I bet they made the manhunt last no longer than five to six hours after I got into the Jeffries tubes. But there's a couple differences in real life to this tv show they created if they did it after Kirk ended up in 86'. And our show was created at the highlight of the recreational drug binge at the moment, but they used stimulates to stay awake during these types of situations."
"And with that in mind, if I was behind enemy lines and too exhausted to keep going, then the young soldier would be in the condition I'm in. And to keep himself awake till rescue showed up its taking the latest dose, though now I'm not considering it. But it's detoxing from the left over effects if it's still in my system right now." he said to him and he nodded, not noticing that his mother was looking at him concerned at the news.
Looking him over carefully, she read through what the symptoms her assistant in sickbay gave her and felt her heart lurch, already knowing what what was wrong with her son as she looked at him as she thought it to herself. 'You got to be kidding, how much caffeine does he have in his system if he's asking that question. Unless he..., oh dear god no, you didn't baby, you never took in more the minimum safe dosage before.'
'Honey, please, tell me you didn't try that, what happened when you were planetside baby, if you were trying to get through to me, so you could tell me this. If you were going to tell me when you came back sweetheart, tell me you needed a medical sabbatical from school. It's okay, it's okay just rest, you can tell me what caused it later, but just rest now baby.' Dr. Beverly Crusher thought to herself as she looked him over.
As she moved to him and ran her hand through his hair and in response he buried his head into her shoulder at that and she tightened her arms around him. "Well that ended the last bit of energy he had right now, she drained every ounce of energy he had left. He set her up to implicate herself by her draining every ounce of energy he had left right now, but without another dose, of epinephrine, and right now, at the moment."
"He's not going to be getting up any time soon right now, as to why, it's because we just had a repeater of Soong hijacking the ship by using Data to do it. Only this time Data was himself and we're the drones right now and he just over did it again now. But after the last chase down through the ship, but that was a case of stage acting right now guys." she said as she exchanged looks with Picard, Deanna and Geordi at that news.
Looking at her son she ran her hand through the hair at the back of his head as the two officers at the operations and conn terminals stood up then. "What the hell did she do to us, if he risked landing himself in sickbay Doctor?" the conn officer asked and she explained that to him. "Last year after we had a double of Mark Stewart board us, Wes created a computer program to prevent anyone that hijacked us."
"Or tried to replace us, from having total control of the ship, and Data downloaded Lal into the program when he did this as well. The program was meant to take back control of the ship from us or whoever was controlling and preventing them from activating the self destruct. But this was something we forgot, but we said if this ever happened ignore what we told him to do and focus on what we told him depending on time."
"In however it was that we downloaded the program into the system and her with it, and change strategies to a time that anyone in our time wouldn't understand and he did that. But what Wes told Derek last night was the basis of what we were taking him through right now. But the martial arts lesson of Goju was referenced and he added that to this, but she couldn't understand what he was doing right now but we can."
"In the second the programming wears off our normal personality traits reassert themselves and Data, you can tell me if we had a case of teenage rebellion later. But at the moment I need you to clarify this, but the second we're free our focus turns right back to the right teenage patient. And it's clear our cub here knew what he was doing at the moment, but the reason he looked like when you saw him last night, Worf."
"It's caffeine withdrawal, it's takes months to recover from this level, that Ensign Roberts told me last night was anything to go by, and the minimum was 2 months, maximum was 6. So if I'm reading this right, that's why he went to sickbay, ran a fast test on himself, but someone talked him into doing it before this started. And this was so he could reverse the ambush all night leading into this final trap this afternoon now."
"And the guys arrested our resident trouble maker patient for breaking his detox and rehab, again. Alright that did it, and damn it Derek. That's four times in 18 months how many times do we have do that to get you clean exactly." she said in irritation and Deanna Troi nodded. "Any clear reason for the spasms right now?" the captain asked and she nodded as her eyes narrowed then as she answered his question then.
"Yes, and it's because those aren't normal spasms, when in caffeine withdrawal it makes you lethargic, but you can take pain killers to take the edge off. But those aren't normal spasms, but the spasms of something more serious and I'm hoping to god I'm wrong right now, but those, whatever it is. They were tanked and it's either ethanol, true narcotics or both, but to know that for sure is by analyzing them and we can do it later."
"But my son just pushed himself into two weeks up to a year and 18 months recovery until he's fully recovered here. Though Derek it's repeated speedball effects and my son, it's the earlier stages of caffiene withdrawal, Wes knew what to do. And it's labeled with the added pieces to the MRE's, but there are only two things, that have the necessary levels of both to take the edge off and it's his one healthfood downfall too."
"Which was reason #2 in why he headed for our apartment right now as well, but being a seasoned medical prodigy. He decided to take care of that and the fatigue himself, so he could take a break." she said and he nodded. "So while the only thing Wesley has in his system is the natural stimulates and needed a recharge. It's he knew what to do to end that jolt and it was by taking in something loaded with both last night now."
"Derek broke his rehab, again, and gets arrested by Data after Lal reported him to Lieutenant Porter and Data, while Wesley is safely hidden so he was completely rested. he knew what was needed to be done to do this last night, and it's because our training strategies. They're mixed with 20th century training strategies, he added the use of 20th century medical healing as well now?" Lieutenant Worf said to her gently at that.
"Yes that's it exactly, my son was a prodigy of every department we had in Starfleet, but most of all. And it was by medical areas he knew what needed to be done all day last night and did it. If that's why we hadn't heard from Eli all day, he's dealing with Derek Hanson right now for doing it again. And this soon after the last one, which was a month ago." She said and Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge answered that.
"Well Wes did warn him, that he got caught by the guys or Data he was being arrested." he said as he looked at her then and they nodded."Damn it kid, how many times have we got to do this, because your body can't take this type of abuse repeatedly right now." the officer at operations said sternly and she nodded. "I think he said the same thing, and Wes made it clear we caught him, and he's ending up in sickbay for it now."
"Data did you tell him what happened and why last month?" she asked and he nodded. "Robin explained to him the circumstances and he wa furious right now for it. Because if one of the sextet saw this..." he said and they nodded. "And it would have traumatized them for life, if he was killed in the fight because Derek was speedballing at the time." Geordi said and he nodded as Beverly sighed as she answered that remark then.
"Not that I blame my son for the reaction, as the JCL on board the ship he had to take charge once too often and this is no exception to the rule, but with him laid out right now. Charlie you're next in command of the junior crew, the JV version of the junior crew right now." she said and Dayton nodded as he answered her. "We theorized this, already but once freed your personalities rassert themselves." he said and she nodded.
"Wait, JV crew?' the conn officer asked and they nodded. "Yes, after we got started, I had separated the ship based Gamma team into two teams, one was varsity as they just graduated from the academy. And Junior varsity, which were the ones that were training to get into the academy. Wesley and his friend Jake Kurland were in flight and command training preparing to get into the academy, but the quartet you met."
"Sarah Hailey, Brand Elliott, Jason Grogan and Dana Satterfield, they were the grandchildren of grandparents legacy and knew what was going on in this. But the quartet adopted Wesley and Jake as younger brothers and team mates as a result. It was after they hit their 18th birthdays. That I named them to varsity crew Gammas, and the boys, Robin Lefler, Charlie and Lal were the JV team." the captain said and he nodded.
"So the second we're freed, our normal personalities reassert themselves and what comes next once that happens exactly?" the man asked and he said it with a growl. "Along with it comes the parental instincts, and the fact that they put our students into a position they never should have been in the first place. And definitely not when he's in no condition for it." he said with a furious and stern growl as she said it to him.
"And with it once our personalities start reactivating, next to activate with it comes our earth human medical knowledge of why he left those clues lying around and what he was trying to tell us. Said tell us was our conversation before he left last year and it's why he didn't want to leave at all, at the time now. Though I think if this was her intention she crossed the line, becasue the readouts say he's on the median right now."
"And whoever in his squadron, if he joined a flight team, is, it's they screwed up his regime, every nutrient he normally had when he was under my care has been depleted at the moment. But once the programming is terminated, our focus turns right back to the right patient, and my son: his is tolerable at the best of times. And easy to deal with if there's a spasm by taking in something that has the equal levels of both in it."
"I got the message he just told us through that first aid kit medication box, and the fact he created this, or Data created this syringe. But malnutrition and caffeine withdrawal, possibly, if that's the case. But someone just screwed with his regime so much he's lost every key nutrient he has at the moment. He's on the very edge of the median and if anything else goes wrong it's going to land him in the emergency room here."
"The reason he's this exhausted is because he just drained a good portion of that caffeine out of his body. He did it last night. And the amount drained was the reason he had to head for our apartment, because those spasms Will mentioned last night. It's caffeine withdrawal, he needed something with the right amount of both, just to end that jolt and with it, went with the stage acting and alibi just to load up on supplies."
"And hit himself up with a second dose of epinephrine, before heading for Data's quarters and the adrenaline burst quit right after he commed us. At the moment, he's too exhausted to get up right now, so he's stuck and as of this moment, he's on sabbatical, if that's what he was going to tell us. He knew I was going to kill the person who caused this when I found out." she said and the trio nodded firmly at that information.
"Yeah Doctor, you got it right and I'm the one that told him to run that test on himself, because we knew there was a possible chance there was a likely trap right now. She was trying to catch him in the act by using you to do it this week, we had two close calls after she used you to deactivate Data. And from there she couldn't find him because he and I were bouncing ideas off each other right now at the moment but with it."
"It's the issues of being the child of an M.D., Doctor, you raised us on good eating habits, no screwing with the toxic chemicals and taking our vitamins after every meal. But that's the problem, it's not just any one group or another, he and I were together for six months after he arrived at the academy. The group causing this is three of four members of his squadron, it's their fault at the moment he's looking like this."
"The other was the added piece that he didn't get the chance to tell you, but some medical technician is forging orders behind the backs of the parents. And of the secondary CMO's on every flagship we have in the fleet. But mine was first and his is the latest on the list, but our guests are the ones who were bringing that information to you." Dayton told her and she nodded with a furious look on her face at the news then.
"Doctor, it gets better right now, but what happened a bit ago, in the shafts, that was a case of attempted murder right now. Because another one hit him in the shaft." he said and the sextet quickly turned to him at that. "Was at he at the bottom of the ladder when it hit, because we heard the crash?!" Worf said sharply and he nodded and they sighed in relief and she sighed as he answered him then gently as he looked at him.
"Yeah, but it was close, had he'd not been on the floor and was two or even three decks above it, it would've have been enough she jujst barely missed killing us in her attempts to get that into the federation. But in this case, she put every child on the ship at risk, including him and the sextet. Wes told me the reason the sextet panicked every time MacGregor got to close to them, and surrounded me, Robin and Jake since now."
"But to answer the question to why you saw us acting like the together right now, and why I waited till last night to make contact with him. Well it's time for that to come out now, but it's because we met 9 months ago and Robin and he got together like 3 months before we graduated." he said and she nodded. "I take it my son told you everything, you're completely equaled out?" she asked and he nodded to her as he smiled.
"We are, in fact our friendship is so strong, we're like Commanders Jackson and Riker now, he's my best friend. But he and Jake, whether they knew it or not found the rest of the next generation of Gamma squadron. And it was me and Robin, but he and Robin, it wasn't a chance dating, they'd been together since he arrived at the academy, but we'd friends for six months." he said and she nodded relieved at the news.
"Six months, why didn't he...?" the conn officer started to say and Geordi sighed as he answered him. "It's the case setting of a conspiracy and he knew this already, they had to pretend they just met. So he could protect her and himself from being used against him now, but you let your emotions for the host. Get in the way of what needs to be done it's going to destroy everything you ever worked for, Dave, and he knew this."
"As Starfleet born officers, he's second generation Starfleet, but our grandparents were involved in the stargate program, before they started exploring the galaxy further right now. But our grandparents, us, the sextet, in security crew, Miles and several members of my team. But all of us were involved in the program, before the changed the name of it to Starfleet when we created our own galaxy class ships after that."
"But this was something he learned from our predecessors at the time, he was taking his training off of Generals Carter, Jackson, Ferretti and Martell, as they trained our grandparents when they were Wes's age. But between that and what we've been training him to do since, it's enough he took the rules of a conspiracy and foothold seeriously now and combined with that was what the Captain and Commander taught him now."
"The Captain and Commander told him this, before we went to stealth and survival training, a few weeks before he left for the academy now. But they did everything correctly, aside from the fact that until the second piece switched into the third. It's going from careful planning and getting completely reckless right now as a result, if that's why you were irritated Worf?" he said and the Klingon nodded to him gently then.
"Dad's also a rehab doctor on the Hood, but I suggested Dad and Anenzi's prescription to him and he worked at taking care of it. When she tried to corner him in the extension shaft, it's because he got hit with another spasm and he just filled me in into why your friend arrived. But someone is framing the second CMO's here, with illegal medical prescription orders right now, but that's everyone now in this conspiracy right now."
"But Aldea, K'taris and Cardassia, but not the ship commander you met when Maxwell went renegade and Haden sent you after him to arrest him." he said and she nodded. "How'd you find out about that Charlie?" Captain Jean Luc Picard asked and he sighed. "Because, somehow, and I'm not sure how, he never told me, but he's been seeing what's been going on, through one of you." he said and they nodded in shock to that?"
"He knows what's been going on up here to us, because he's been seeing it through one of the six of us or the other members he's close to." Picard repeated and he nodded. "When did this get started exactly, because if it's what I'm thinking, it's explains the time duration, because he looks like he hasn't slept in six months now?" Deanna Troi asked and he explained that, knowing they weren't going to take it well then.
"It was after the wedding a few weeks before Haden sent you after Maxwell after he violated the peace treaty between us and Cardassia." he said and they nodded. "It's been 11 months since he left to go to the academy, and this started like 2 months after he left. He stopped taking whatever it was that had him looking like this and went to plain caffeine by use of cola drinks and coffee." Deanna said and Beverly nodded firmly.
"That's the clue I was missing Jean Luc, and it's why he chose the particular measure, now that I'm back to normal, but he's gone to enforced sleep deprivation to block whoever caused this. And his seeing what's happening to us through one of us, before he quit taking whatever it was that was prescribed. And someone framed Eli, and Eli's the secondary CMO on ours, but he'd never break my orders regarding my son."
"He's being framed, if whoever's on board this ship is also involved in this I swear they're getting taken apart, before I drag them before the committee, they could have killed my son!" she snapped and he nodded to her. "Yeah we knew you were going to have that reaction when you heard this, when as yourselves." he said and she nodded. "He's all I have left of my family, in my family as it is now, I'm not losing him whatsoever."
"The over reaction is exactly what I was afraid of, and our conversation last year just landed itself on the table. What would you describe this as honey?" she asked and he sighed as he told her. "The dream maniac on that movie series, to block out whatever he's dreaming about and I think it's connected to you guys. But he's finally pushed it one too far and laid himself out this time." he said and the sextet all nodded with a sigh.
"Whatever you were discussing last year finally hit Sirs, but as he decided to activate the program. We were aggravating her even more but every order you, and Anenzi, suggested he took it to a T. Like him I was also involved and he freed Robin and the others in engineering. With Jake and the quartet, but he wasn't alone in this, we did this as a quartet." he said and they nodded to him and the other man sighed as he said it.
"So with Robin and Jake compromised now, you were the plant hiding on the bridge, and he went to being the decoy. While Lal was doing two jobs and one was covering his back and the other keeping control of the entire system?" Commander Willam Riker asked and he nodded. "Aye Sir, I had to get her to think I was a drone, till we pulled the wild card out and that was reversing the ambush." he said and he nodded bemused.
"After she ordered her..., she turned us into drones, but she was possessing the captain, I was possessed by her first officer and it goes down the list from there. The headsets gave a link from them to us and that's why we were enroute to meet her last night before the manhunt started. They needed a way to do this, and it was too far away, but mine was meant to get her first officer into me and I infected the crew one by one."
"Wes figured this out, and he was trying to give us the strength to fight it out with her crew's presences in our heads, but if the memory recall of what we did together didn't work. Then he was going to try and get our parental instincts so erratic that it overwhelmed the programming. And we were strong enough to break, after Data yanked the parasites out of us by giving us the cure." he said and Dayton nodded and he nodded.
"Looks like my remark of us getting into a chess game was it now, because with four teenagers, one of them being a robot. I wasn't expecting this chess game to result in a case of reckless actions like what he pulled in there. And don't ever do that again, or I'm going to have a heart attack by the time he graduates from the academy young man." he said to him and Dayton nodded as Picard answered him then, bemused at that.
"Just like Hammond's grandfather we get hit in the same way and Hammond made it clear, but though we didn't lose him for real, the effects still hit us hard enough to effect us. But having you guys doing this for us and preventing it from getting off the ship and in the condition he's in. Why the hell didn't he tell us when he got back that he wasn't up to this right now?" he asked and he sighed as he answered him then at his remark.
"I think you know the answer to that question Captain, but with Commander Riker and Counselor Troi already drones?" he said trailing off and the conn officer covered his eyes as Beverly said it. "He tells us right when he got back and with the duo already drones he's telling her he's out of shape. And close to ending up in the emergency room, and he had to keep that hidden but left clues to what's wrong with him for us and did it."
"From our apartment, but K'tarians, unless they're in the military, never leave their planet and he was making it clear that she didn't understand a thing about us as humans from earth. I'm a single parent and widow, and he's my only child, my baby was gone and I was in case of depression ever since. It's the same for the others, they helped me raise him after we were stationed here." she said and he nodded to heree tly at that.
"Yeah I know he told me a lot about things, as for how and why, we met at the academy, I'm his best friend at the academy. And Robin, they already knew each other right now, but that was a test for her. And with it so to see if she'd hit him at his most vulnerable right now and that was his love life. But here's the thing, they've been together ever since we met there at the academy now." he told her and that got their attention then.
"That date he mentioned the other night right now, it's because we created several rules to prevent ourselves from being taken off guard. But like him, I traced the source of the plague, as we consider this now at the moment, but we'd been together so long, that. If she hadn't been so focused on his right now, then she'd have seen right through my suggestions and arrested him, but I played the part so easily now, she didn't."
"But this was a two fold right now, Brand got the news that someone had created an alliance. And when we suddenly had a K'tarian medic arrive at the academy, and that Maxwell destroyedtwo supply ships and the base. We put two and two together and realized that was 2/3's of the conspiracy, before seeing the way the sextet panicked every time MacGregor got near us and that did it." he said and they nodded firmly then.
"That's why they chose now to send him home, Andrea could see he need a few months sabbatical to heal, because she knew something was wrong with him. And also knowing we had a foothold situation about the start here right now, she chose two students that were his exact match in everything. She chose you, because you were a trio at the academy and helped it along?" Picard repeated and he nodded to him gently at that.
"So attempted incursion and she sent several of her best students here, to head it off and realizing that our ship was possibly the ship that was about to get infected. She sent him home, as he knew us all way too well and decided to get the three of you together as her secret weapon, just we could see how well you did. So as whoever got arrested last night by the team leader, Data being said, and our resident troublemaker did."
"But Wesley, you and Robin did this together, along with Lal and we forgot she was still in the system and where he and Data downloaded her new programming chip as well now. That's what this was, rather then sending a team of recruits like Derek Hanson to the ship, they chose you three. And he activated Lal in the process, Derek gets arrested for breaking orders and you did this together?" Picard said and he nodded to answer hin.
"Aye Sir, it was after my rival at the academy framed me for the riot, said riot was really trying to prevent it. And a couple of new recruits from getting hurt and Wes and Robin were with me when it happened as well. But I'm the leader of the next generation of Gammas, and as his best friend I was going to get him on my team. But before I could do that, my rival, his squadron leader, chose him to get even with me for, in his eyes."
"Stealing his girlfriend, but it's the case setting for the narrator of Starship Troopers, his ex-girlfriend and his rival. It happeend to us, and Wes, was the fourth member of the situation, Nick's best friend happens to be Derek's cousin. Just so we compared notes after what Commander Hanson told you so far. And Peter is just like Derek as a result, same attitude, what Sarah told you, was it exactly and to repeat the remark right now."
"The great Wesley Crusher and Charlie Dayton, you think a day goes by where I don't hear your name, you gotten the highest grade in every class I've been in. Won every every award I've been up for, they've been comparing me to you since I walked in the door, and I just can't seem to measure up in their eyes, but Derek, Shelby. Peter and Nick, same thing." he said and they nodded as they exchanged looks at that.
As Beverly crossed her arms at the news. "So that sums it up right now, Robin thought of you as a brother, and my son was her exact match. And this boy for months after Wes arrived was under the delusion she broke it off with him, because she was dating you. And when in actual fact you were childhood friends, and he's driving my son into exhaustion right now as a result?" she asked and he nodded to her and they sighed.
"Well we have to get him out of the academy on medical sabbatical, because if he doesn't get the rest he needs, we're looking at a repeater of the knack right now." Geordi said to Deanna and she nodded in agreement to that. "At the moment the situation just took a more serious turn, because I don't know if they turned him into a drone or not, and maybe Kate could determine that right now, but we've got to end it."
"And before his system crashes a second time, but one of us, that would be easy to deal with now, two is pushing the limit, but the entire crew. That's going way too far right now, and she nearly kills him while doing it right now, but this was too easy." Picard said and they both nodded in agreement to that. "Well we need to get the quintet here, before this gets any worse, Sir." Will said and he nodded in agreement to that remark.
"Alright once we get him checked out, I'm sending a message to the committee and telling them to send your friends and Commander Martell, we need all the help we can get, because if this is like the situation. The one that they did to Jackson, I'm not taking chances right now, because if he's at the median like Beverly said, one more interruption and he's ending up in the emergency room." he said and Will nodded with a sigh.
"I'm possibly looking at the fact our conversation from last year activated and the one she put on him, is the match to light the fuse. But we have no clue on when that fuse reaches the gun powder, but the kids won the first round. But if I'm right then round two is next, and it's possibly 50 clean members to 1 suffering the secondary, which means we got to reverse the issue in ambushes as she tries again, but with him like this."
"He needs us to protect him right now, when he's this drained and exhausted right now." Deanna said and he nodded. "Meaning she and her crew are going to try it again, but starting a case of attempted ambushes now in this case. But with the kids, they get it on one of them and start a secondary outbreak on the ship as a result now." Beverly said and they nodded as they ended it at that remark as they exchanged looks.
