"Commander Data accompany me to my ready room"

"Yes Capitan"

"Number one you have the bridge"

"Yes Capitan"

As an ensign took the androids place picard and data made their way to picard's ready room the door slid open sensing the presence of the two crewmen picard entered and sat in his chair behind his desk data had followed and just stood in front of picard's desk "please take a seat"

"Yes sir"

"Now doctor crusher has informed me that you have been showing a keen interest in earth musicals of the late 19th -20th century's"

"That is correct sir I am currently studying one called Sweeny Todd"

"Arr the demon barber of Fleet Street"

"Yes sir"

"And what do you make of it?"

"I'm still uncertain"

"How so?"

"I'm not sure of the morale of the story on seems to imply revenge one seem to imply hope I'm not sure which one it come under"

"Well I have an idea how about you actually live it out on the holo-deck"

"But sir that would intervene with my duties"

"Nonsense you on holyday as of when you entered this room, I've booked holo-deck three for you to use for as long as you need."Picard ran his fingers over the keyboard in front of him "and a set of clothes has been replicated for you in your size that should fit the time period well. Now then get going"

"Sir?"

"You heard me get going your on holyday" Picard chuckled to him self after the android had left

The turbo lift came to a stop on the holo decks the door slid open and the android stepped out, data was dressed in a white Victorian gentlemen's shirt a brown waist coat black trousers he had put a white streak in his hair as he had seen in a picture.

He headed for holo-deck three data stopped in front of holo-deck three's console "computer load earth musicals of the late 19th-20th centuries"

"Command confirmed loaded earth musicals of the late 19th-20th centuries"

"List programmes for earth musicals of the late 19th-20th centuries"

"Command confirmed." A list of programmes ran down the console monitor

"Computer stop load Sweeny Todd demon barber of fleet street."

"Programme loaded enter when ready" data walked toward the door and it slid open data entered the room and found him self on a 19th century cargo galleon

"You all right Mr .t?"

"Perfectly fine thank you"

"Where you headed to Mr Todd?"

"London I have some unfinished business" so I'm the main character Sweeny Todd interesting "computer download Sweeny Todd's personality and song list involving Sweeny Todd."

"Downloading now." As the computer was downloading the whole of enterprise shook violently.

"Commander Worf situation report."

"Superficial damage shields operating at 100% efficiency"

"Commander le forge what's you situation down there?"

"Minimal damage captain the shaking is due solar flare activity from that near by sun although hold on ...ah shit."

"What's wrong commander?"

"Holo-deck 3 is sealed shut we can't get in or out"

"That's the holo-deck commander data's on what programmes running?"

"Err... that would be sweeny Todd demon barber of Fleet Street."

Picard sighed "I knew it."The captain said then pressed his com badge "commander data do you read me?"

"Who's this?"

"It's me commander, its captain Jean Luke Picard of the USS starship enterprise of the united federation of planets"

"I don't know you"

"Commander Data report"

"No not data that man is dead its Todd now Sweeny Todd and he will have his revenge" with that the comms went dead

….

After the ship stopped shaking commander data pulled him self off the floor of the holographic ship's deck

"Downloading error, files corrupted compensating download complete" commander data's comm Badge beeped data looked at it strangely then he pressed it

"Who is this?"

"It's me commander, Captain Jean Luke Picard of the USS starship enterprise of the united federation of planets."

The name sounded familiar to the android as if he should know that name and distinctive voice

"I don't know you"

"Commander data report." Again this name of data sounded as if it should be familiar to him as if it was something important specifically to him and he made the assumption that he must mean him but that wasn't who he was that wasn't his name at least not any more

" no not data that man is dead it's Todd now Sweeny Todd and he will have his revenge." Todd turned off his comm badge and walked to the bow of the ship as he walked to the bow he heard his friend of the past weeks singing and he moved to were he was at the port side of the bow

"but there's no place like London" Todd moved closer he had heard the song sang before and he knew how it went but he added his own twist to it

"no there's no place like London."

"Mr Todd?"

"you are young life has been kind to you,

…you will learn for I to have sailed the world

and the cruelty of man is as wondrous as Peru but

there's no place like London

there's a hole in the world like a grate black pit and

the vermin of the world inhabit it and it's morals

aren't worth what a pig could spit and It goes by

the name of London."

"What makes you say that Mr Todd ?"

"there was a barber and his wife and she was beautiful

a foolish barber and his wife she was his reason and his life

and she was beautiful…. and she was virtuous.
And he was naïve."

" Is everything alright Mr. Todd?"

"There was another man who saw
that she was beautiful...
A pious vulture of the law
who, with a gesture of his claw,
removed the barber from his plate!
Then there was nothing but to wait!
And she would fall!
So soft!
So young!
So lost
and oh, so beautiful"

The ship docked and the two gentlemen disembarked from the ship and Todd's friend asked his question "And what of the girl mister Todd did she succumb?"

"Oh that was many years ago I doubt any one would know."

"I want to thank you for your kindness Antony if it weren't for you I would still be lost at sea I dare say"

"Will I see you again Mr Todd?"

"You can find me if you like around fleet street I should much wonder"

"Do you want me to walk with you?"

"No your alright I need to reacquaint myself."

"Mr Todd?"

"these once familiar streets are now foreign to me and filled with ghost's every single on of them" Todd walked off down an alleyway muttering away to him self "there's a hole in the world like a grate black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with shit and it goes by the name of London." Todd made his way through the streets and came across his old house the bottom had been converted into a pie shop the sign above it read mrs Lovett's pie shop so he made his way in. the bell above the door rang and a woman with black hair who Mr Todd could only assume was Mrs Lovett she hadn't noticed him come in and he was just standing there mrs Lovett was cutting pastry or meat he couldn't really tell at that distance, Mr Todd was about to leave and she noticed him and gasped "A customer!,

Wait! What's your rush? What's your hurry?
You gave me such a, fright, I thought you was a ghost
Half a minute can't you sit, sit you down, sit!
All i meant is that i haven't seen a customer for weeks
Did you come in for a pie sir?
Do forgive me if my head's a little vague
What was that?
But you'd think we had the plague.
From the way that people
keep avoiding!
No you don't!
Heaven knows I try, sir!
But there's no one comes in even to inhale!
Right you are, sir, would you like a drop of ale?
Mind you I can hardly blame them!
These are probably the worst pies in London.
I know why nobody cares to take them!
I should know!
I make them!
But good? No...
The worst pies in London...
Even that's polite! The worst pies in London!
If you doubt it take a bite!
Is that just, disgusting?
You have to concede it!
It's nothing but crusting!
Here drink this, you'll need it.
The worst pies in London
And no wonder with the price of meat
what it is
when you get it.
Never thought I'd live to see the day.
Man'd think it was a treat
findin' poor
animals
what are dyin' in the street.
Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop.
Does a business, but I notice something weird.
Lately, all her neighbours' cats have disappeared.
Have to hand it to her!
What a course,
enterprise!
Poppin' pussies into pies!
Wouldn't do in my shop!
Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!
And I'm telling you them pussycats is quick.
No denying times is hard, sir!
Even harder than the worst pies in London.
Only lard and nothing more-
Is that just revolting?
All greasy and gritty?
It looks like it's molting!
And tastes like...we'll pity.
A woman alone...with limited wind
And the worst pies in London!

.mrs Lovett stopped singing and talked to him "Ah sir,
Times is hard. Times is hard."
mr Todd asked a question "Isn't that a room up there over the shop? If times are
so hard, why don't you rent it out? That should bring
in something."
mrs Lovett answered him quickly "Up there? Oh, no one will go near it People think it's haunted."

"Haunted?"

"Yeah. And who's to say they're wrong? You see, years ago something happened up there. Something not very nice."mrs Lovett began to sing

"There was a barber and his wife.
And he was beautiful...
A proper artist with a knife,
but they transported him for life.
And he was beautiful...
mrs Lovett stopped singing and spoke again
"Barker his name was.
Benjamin Barker."

"What was his crime?" mr Todd asked

"Foolishness…" mrs Lovett started to sing again

"He had this wife, ya see.
Pretty little thing,
silly little nit.
Had her chance for the moon on a string...
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
There was this judge, ya see...
Wanted her like mad!
Everyday he sent her a flower
But did she come down from her tower?
Sat up there and sulked by the hour
Still she wouldn't budge from her
Poor fool!
Ah, but there was worse yet to come
Pure thing!
Well, Beadle calls on her all poor light
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
The judge, he tells her, is all contrite.
He blames himself for her dreadful plight.
She must come straight to his house tonight!
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
Of course when she goes there...
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
They're having this ball all in masks.
There's no one she knows there!
Poor dear!
Poor thing!
She wonders, tormented and drinks!
Poor thing!
The judge has repented, she thinks.
Poor thing!
"Oh where is Judge Turpin?" she asks...
He was there, alright!
Only not so contrite!
She wasn't no match for such craft, ya see.
And everyone thought it so droll.
They figured she had to be daft, ya see.
So all of them stood there and laughed, ya see!
Poor soul!
Poor thing!"

"NO!" mr Todd shouted "Would no one have mercy on her?"

"So it is you. Benjamin Barker." Mrs Lovett said

"No! Not Barker. That man is dead. It's Todd now - Sweeney Todd. And he will have his revenge"

"Commander le forge what's going on with data any ideas"

"Not yet captain"

"Why dose he think that he is Sweeny Todd?"

"hold on ok here we go according to the computer log to get into character apparently it looks like data was downloading Sweeny Todd's personality and the song list when the solar flare hit and it must of scrambled data's memory and filled it with Sweeny Todd's instead"

"Any idea on how to get the old data back and how do we get him out of the holo deck when we do?"

"Well it looks like he is just going to have to complete the programme then the doors will open."

"Acknowledged picard out."

Where's Lucy where's my wife?

"Done herself in fortnight back tried to talk her out of it but she wouldn't have it"

"How?"

"Poison arsenic form the apothecary around the corner…. He's got your daughter locked up."

"Who?"

"Judge Turpin."

" 15 years I was locked up 15 years on a false charge with the dream of seeing my wife and my daughter again wondering how would she look and he has taken all that away from me …he will pay for this I promise you that .

Take me up to the room above this shop I want to say hello to my old friends"

"Your friends"

My razors although I wouldn't blame you if you have sold them they would fetch a pretty penny the blades are chased silver after all"

Funny you should mention them I hid them when they came for your daughter follow me ." mrs Lovett said leading him up the stairs "here we go under the floor boards" Sweeny Todd bent down and removed them from the floor board and opened the box he lifted them in and he started to sing

"These are my friends.
See how they glisten.
See this one shine...
How he smiles in the light.
My friend.
My faithful friend...
Speak to me friend.
Whisper...
I'll listen.
I know, I know you've been locked
out of sight
all these years, like me
My friend...
well I've come home to find you waiting.
Home and we're together!
And we'll do wonders.
Won't we?
You there, my friend?

Mrs. Lovett chimed in quietly

"I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd
If you only knew, Mr. Todd
Ooh, Mr. Todd." Mrs Lovett touched Sweeny's shoulder

"You're warm in my hand.
You've come home!
Always had a fondness for you, I did."
at the same time as mrs Lovett quietly sang her peace that she added Sweeny Todd was singing at the same time

"Come let me hold you.
Now, with a sigh, you grow warm in my hand.
My friend!
My clever friend..." Sweeny Todd paused and Mrs. Lovett started to sing again this time load enough for Sweeny to hear

"Never you fear, Mr. Todd
You can move in here, Mr. Todd
Mr. Todd, splendors.
You never have dreamed
all your days
will be yours!
I'm your friend
and you're mine!
Don't they shine beautiful?
Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T." Then Sweeny Todd sang quietly again

"Rest now, my friends.
Soon, I'll unfold you.
Soon you'll know splendors
You never have dreamed
all you days,
my lucky friends
'Til now your shine was merely silver.
Friends, you shall drip rubies, you'll soon drip precious rubies... leave me" he said as he stopped singing and mrs Lovett left the room then Sweeny stood up holding the razor up to the sky and proclaimed
"At last! My arm is complete again"
