"Transporter room to the Captain, sir I think you better come see this." "Is there some sort of problem?" "I guess you could say that sir yes!" Kirk sighs "Alright I'll be there in a few, wait should I bring McCoy?" "That would be best Sir"
"Nobody is bleeding are they?" Asks McCoy. Throwing a medi-kit at Kirk as he rushes into the lift. "Dude don't throw things at me, I'm the Captain not your assistant!" Moans Kirk irritably. McCoy just gives him a glare and tells him to "shut the hell up farm boy".
Once in the transporter room it takes a moment for the two of them to work out what exactly the problem is. No one is bleeding or dying as far as they can see, in fact the room is empty save for Harris who called them down here and Keenser who seems to be holding an adorable ginger baby human and Scotty. "Wait, where is Scotty? Wasn't he meant to be returning from vacation with Keenser?" Asks Kirk, looking round the room trying to spot the eccentric Engineer. McCoy doesn't answer instead gazing at the baby in Keenser arms. " Smurf! Don't tell me the transporter's acting up again" mutters Bones.
"What? That's Scotty?" Kirk stares at the bundle in disbelief. Isn't it just his luck isn't it thinks Kirk that his chief engineer goes on holiday for a month leaving him in the lurch, only to return de-aged. "Talk about rejuvenating breaks, any longer and we wouldn't have a CEO at all!" It seems to Jim that Keenser been affected by the beam as well for he's making a strange clicking noise with his tongue and waving his free hand about weirdly.
"What should we do?" Asks Kirk, whispering into McCoy's ear so not to alarm Keenser any further. "Jim calm I don't think he's gone crazy rather I think he's trying to tell us something, but I'll be damned if I know what. If only Uhura was back already, she knows how to translate kut." "Well I suppose we better get on and sort this mess out huh Bones"
That said Keenser is reluctant to hand the baby over even after security has been called. The two burly guards seem at a lost as to what to do with the upset alien and instead pace around the room trying to figure out a plan of action.
Just as things are really beginning to get ugly the transporter beam suddenly turns itself back on and a glittery figure appears on one of the pads surrounded by a mass of unidentifiable objects. As the objects solidify it soon becomes apparent that the many boxes and bags are shopping. From behind a giant stuffed elephant stands the figure of a crew member, their features obscured by the animal in front of them. Kirk and McCoy just gap at each other and the scene before them completely lost for words.
"If you danne mind I could do with a wee bit of help here with the things for the baby" Says a familiar voice from behind the stuffed animal. "Scotty, that you?" "Aye Captain" "But if your there and that's there...Then where'd this baby come from?" "Ah well now I'm sure your old enough to figure that out for yourself sir. Now if you excuse me I've a nursery to set up."
