Ensign Prince
Ensign Prince to Captain Paris:
I have spoken with Lt.Cleo but she failed to reply.
No harm done, she may still be busy scanning the MAIN POWER GRID of the Command
CPU, which in theory can cancel all of our voice activated computer commands, which is one
scenario i needn't discuss. Anyway, I have checked the main sensor array and the logs have
confirmed my theory that the couplinks may have malfunctioned and the nueral gel packs
behind it, which provides power to the arrays may have ruptured causing power surges and
fluctuations in their alignment.
I will start adjusting my tricorder to scan and to respond to any power surges and other
fluctuations near the secondary and tertiary power systems.
Will keep you posted.

Dr. Hope
Dr. Hope reporting as requested.
My program was developped by Dr. Zimmerman, the EMH from Voyager, Lt Barclay and Dr.
Hope (whom I resemble). There are holographic emitters throughout the ship enabling me to
be anywhere. If needed in multi emergencies, I can be split into 4 different areas at one time. I
also have a personal holographic emitter so that I may attend away missions. I have been
given the medical knowledge of over 300 species coming from the Alpha, Delta and Gamma
quadrant. My highest achievment was when I was sent to the Delta quadrant to cure the
phage. It has finally stablelized part of that quadrant as the Vidians are now a peaceful
species. If you have a few hours, I can tell you all about my accomplishments. My program is
always enhancing itself (when not used) to better understand behavior and to develop
relationships and emotions as to better serve this crew. Right now, as everything is stable
and as I love puzzles, I am working on the miracle birth of Lt. Fier.

Dr. Hope
Captain, I have to report a problem with ensign Smith-Weston. Ensign Smith-Weston is
experiencing space dementia. After only a few hours of space travel, I can only assume that
he/she (hard to tell with some of these species) has not been honest on her application. Her
dementia has resulted as these symptoms: overinflated ego, disillusional and hysteria. She
has been confined to sick bay in a forcefield as she is a danger to herself and others and has
been treated appropriately. I recommend that we discharge her as soon as we arrive to the
next base where she can go further treatment.

Paris to EMH:
No, Doctor. I want you to release her and I want to talk to her in person in my ready room. I
know its difficult for her, its her first time to be away in a mission, but I do not want to lose my
crewmembers to such hysteria. I would like her to talk to me and work this out. I want you to
release her from sickbay immediately.
And I want a full analysis of her medical background.
Ensign Prince, what is this I hear? the Admiral, a hologram? Be in my ready room at 1100
hrs. tomorrow. I would like to discuss this further. Be sure to drop by sickbay and have
yourslef examined as well.
Is anyone else feeling 'insane'? What is causing this?
Doctor, I would like you to conduct a full physical, medical, emotional and mental exam of all
my crew. senior staff included. Please tell Doc Cuen to report to my ready room before this
day ends.
And also, Lt.Cleo Paris, conduct a full scan of the ship, all systems, all programs. Check for
any anomalies or disturbances causing these, these so-called 'craziness'. Check if these
correspond with hallucinations or whatever you may find ridiculous. I on't care if it sounds
stupid
...JUST DO IT.
I cannot risk JANEWAY operated by a mentally-unstable crew. Be prepared to submit a full
report on my desk, Doctor, in 72 hours.

LtCleo to Doc Hope:
Explain this space dementia. I believe in my full knowledge of science and psychology, this is
absurd. Her, um, display of another personality suggests otherwise.
She is suffering from schizophrenia. I do believe you have your facts mixed-up. I think you are
rescheduled for a 'tune-up'. I would adjust your holomatrix, parameters and protocols since
seeing your display of wrongful prognosis could lead to certain errors in the future. I have
received the Captain's orders and I will shut you down after 72 hours, as the Captain ordered.
I would not mean to offend you but I have discussed this matter with the Captain.
There is no shame in errors, Doctor.
I would consult with Ensign Prince since he knows more about your programming.
Thank You.

There seems to be some sort of mutiny aboard this ship...it is my duty to contain it.... As
highest ranking officer aboard this ship..I will not let this ships mission be
disturbed..especially one week into the mission....
It seems logs have been faulseafied... as well as transmissions and comm frquencys....
The 'supposed' transmission from starfleet.. i have found to have been sent in disguise..the
original transmission carrying on a Romulan carrier wave...
Also the comm transmission from the captain is also someones attempt to take over the
ship...
Please ignore the captains last 'supposed' transmission'
Lt Cleo Paris... there was no order to close the EMH doctors program down... as a result, I
have transferred the doctors access codes to her.. and only I or the captain will be able to
overied.....
Also this Ensign Cara Smith-Western is an imposter... there are no records of her on board....
(and with no email addres to report to she will be denied further access..until this address is
suplied)
Lt katowa... she has now been thrown into the brig... and will remain there until explination
can be supplied....
Please make sure guard is set on her 24/7....
To stop this from happening again... all real crew have been notified on how to post so that I
will know how to tell if the transmiisions are fake or not....
Ensign Prince... please inform me why you believe me to be a hologram....does it look like i
am standing on this bridge with a holoemitter.. as Dr Hope has said.. she is the only
hologram aboard this ship... and do not report to the doctor...
As everyone knows.. this ship is fitted with two ready-rooms... the captains... on the left...
and mine .. on the right...

notification.
Lt. Paris. I was unaware of your medical background. I am not insulted (my program hasn't
developed that emotion yet). If you wish to discuss medecine with me, please come and see

Everything is now under control... there is no mutiny aboard the ship... just a crazy romulan
trying to sabitage the mission...
The importance of this mission is high.. if we can successfully find a power source for the Uss
Voyaprise.. then the centre of power will be placed on the federation... With a ship that
impressive in our fleet.. no one will be any match to starfleets strength...
With Cara Smith-western, having escaped to a romulan war-bird.. I hope it is the last we will
see of her for a long time....
With the absurdity of Ensign Princes accusations towards the Captain and I. We have placed
him in restraints and put him in the care of Dr Hope....
Dr Hope please tell me what your diagnosis of the Ensigns condition...
It seems the imposter has taken more than just the Captains comm signal...
It seems they have tried to frame both Lt Paris and I in the process..
Thats romulans for you....
With this under control.. the Captain is still in need of those reports and log entries on the
diagnostics for the ship...
The entry by Lt paris is a fake.. so Dr Hope don't take it out on her.. if she said she was going
to disconnect your program.. it wasn't her...

if you look at the times of the postings for um, Smith-weston, and the romulan war bird are
only minutes away, it can only be one person typing, therefore I think this is all very staged, I
would sugest, that we send a message to starfleet command on a secure band and find out
what the hell is going on. Is this supposed to be some test? Until then I'd suggest we engage
auto pilot and all confine ourselves to quarters, any one could be the suspect, and unless we
do something about it, we'll all kill each other!!!!!

O.K. Ensign, now just relax. This shouldn't take long. (he falls asleep)
Initial scan shows no organ abnormality.
Humm, Humm... what's this, slight electrolyte imbalance. Iron levels elevated, magnesium,
phosphates...humm, humm, showing traces of complex vradium coumpounds, very
unusual...it's like... there's something metallic eroding...most likely due to the acid in his
blood. Which is strange in itself. Humans don't have such high level of acids in their blood.
Well, we'll think about that later...
Computer, do a full bodyscan, look for any abnormal metallic object.
'A metallic object has been detected at the base of the cerebellum.'
There it is...(getting excited)it's implented in there deep... it's affecting memory, motor
movements, control center...It's a wonder he can even think on his own...We'll need to remove
it. This is going to be very difficult and who loves a challenge better than me!!

Dr. Cuen!
(very,very excited obviously beleiving that medecine is more exciting than space travel)
Oh I have some perplexing yet extremely interesting findings.
I have found a small implant, metalic on the outside BUT on the inside, it is composed of an
electrical plasmalyte neucleus. Now, I beleive, by following the complex electrical pathway,
that it is related to areas of the brain - motor, sensory and reflex functions. In other words,
this object could be controlling him. Now who is responsible for that, I don't know. From our
recent experience, the romulans could be responsible. Anyway it will take meticulous surgical
precision and due to its depth, I will require your help as we will have to operate
simultaneously.
Oh and I found some extra interesting findings but as it doesn't affect our present problem, I
will discuss them with you later.
Everything is ready when you are.

Dr. Hope
OK, we're all set up.
Here we go.
Ensign Prince is well sedated.
I'll first use the BEAM (Brain electric activity map) scanner to get the exact location than we'll
need the radioisotope laser to seperate the brain tissue. That's when I'll need you, Dr. Cuen. I
will go superior and you will go posterior. We must perform this at the exact same time
otherwise the smallest time delay can cause brain death.
Are you ready?

Dr Cuen...
'Yes Doctor I am. While you start the scan, I will moniter his initial life signs.'
(Looking at the computer interface.)
'So far his heart and respitorial systems are normal. There is a small fluctuation in red cell
count...witha small drop in his white.
I will administer a dose of nesinien.'
(Pressing the hypospray into his neck, I administer the drug.)
'There. Blood count resuming to normal.'

Dr. Hope
OK, initial layer of brain tissue seperating. Oh this thing is implanted more tightly than I
thought. This is going to be much more delicate and complicated than anticipated....His heart
rate is increasing, 130...150...quick give him benzhexol hypospray...

Dr Cuen..
'Done. It doesn't seem to be working.'
(Grabbing for another hypospray)
'I think I will try, zesterfene. To try combat it. There. It seems to be working. Ok lets try
getting further on with this opperation. We have a long time ahead of us.'

'Since we have now completed the diagnostic on the warp core, We should now move onto
the slipstream drive.'
(Walking over to the drive.)
'Initial scans show the is a 0.043 fluctuation in thebendrone crystals. Which would be
apparent if the was some sort of electrical interference.
Wait. I think I have something'
(Bending around to the other side of the drive. I can see a small metalic device attached to
the drive.)
'There seems to be some sort of device attached here.'
(Grabbing out my tricorder, I begin scanning.)
'The signiture is.....
Lt Cmdr Seven to Captain Paris... I think you should get down here imidiately, sir.'

Seven.
'Captain, there is a small metallice device attached to the slipstream drive. It has a romulan
signiture, sir..... We believ it to be some sort of implosive device to disable the slipstrem drive.
We calculate that if it implodes while the drive is active, the damage to the ship and warp core
could be fatal. I suggest we deactivate the drive until it can be removed.'

Alright he's stable. Let's proceed. Now comes the difficult part. We will have to seperate the
brain tissue at the same time. Timing is critical. It has to be very precise.

In sick bay, ensign Prince's vital signs start changing.
heart rate increasing...
brain pattern showing unstable brain waves...
body temperature increasing...38 degrees...39.3....40.1....
blood starts accumulating around the implant....

The flucuations have increased to 5.03 fluctations a second. Commander, i think we might
have a problem. If i am right this things going to implode any time now!! I recommende that we
evacuate this deck!!

'Computer, open personal log'
'Personal Log open'
'Personal Log, Stardate 84.1118, Mr. Bentson, onboard USS Shuttlecraft Boston on route to
the Janeway in the Andrometer Galexy.' He sits and stairs at the replicator after ordering a
cup of Earl Grey. Sitting down Brian continues his log entry.
'Day 3 on my journey to the Janeway was eventful. I'm still in slipsteam mode, following the
Janeway's trail. Barclay's and Seven's failsafe one-shot drive coil has been a godsend. In the
event of an emergency they provided Starleet with the technology to upload the slipsteam
technology on any ship. The only catch was it is a one shot deal. If I run into and major
prolems I will be forced to go to main warp drive and will have a VERY long road ahead of me!
In the past 3 days I've completed all ships system diognotics and had to repair 1 of the
Neportincells which was damaged unroute by a metior shower I passed on Day 2. I'm hoping
that when I reach the Janeway Tom and his crew and ship will be OK. As personal assistant
and attache' to the Paris family for 15 years since Graduation, it has been my duty to protect
and serve the Paris family; to see to their needs and love and care for them as any servant
should.
B'Elanna was (as usual) hiding her sadness and uneasyness of my decision to accept
Admiral Paris's last request to go to Tom and join him and his crew to ensure his well being
and to provide service to him and his crew.
After 3 days now I am finnaly accepting Owen's death. The emtyness in my heart is deafining.
Ever since Tom's mother's death Owen and I have grown closer and closer until the inevitable
happened. We fell in-love. So here I am starting all over again. I only hope the ships
councelor, being part Betazoid will be prepared to handle all of my feelings and become a
close friend.
It will be a difficult task to tell Tom of his father's death. B'Elanna has assured me that
Starfleet has not reported his death to him yet. Ever since the birth of Tom & B'Elanna's
daughter Kes, B'Elanna and I have grown close. I know deep down she wanted me to stay
with her to help watch Kes while Tom and Anna are away.

Brian sits down with his cup of Earl Grey and stairs into space...
'Gosh I hope their OK. , anyway... Computer begin messgage to Dr. Cue.'
'Message ready for transmission, please state authorization code'
'Authorization code Beta, Gama, 01119, Mr.Bentson, U.S.S. Boston'

To Dr Mistie Cue, this is Mr.Bentson, onboard the U.S.S. Boston. I have come from DS9 to
join your crew and inform Captain Paris of the death of his father. I trust your descreation in
this matter and will hope that you do not inform him of the news until I am aboard. I am within
24 hours of your location and can roundaview with you at the following coordinates: (Bentson

'No, I believe not.'

'Captain the flucuations are rising again, it is going too implode. I suggest we get out now!!'
(The four of us who are remaining in engineering dash towards the door.
Behind us..the device IMPLODES..
The shock wave disperses through out engineering.
I look back and see it hit the captain and then knocking me to the ground. The shipstarts to
rocket out of the slipstream..and we go hurtling into normal space.
When the wave has passed...I stand up..trying hard to keep me bearings and stop from
fainting.. The captain is unconsious on the floor.)
'Seven..to transporter room 3, emergency beem out to sick bay..'
(Looking at the Lt. and Cadet..)
'They are not responding. Lt. please assist me in getting the captain to sick bay.'
(He grabs the captains other side and we start heading towards the turbo lift.)
