The Past Meets The Future-Changing History
Disclaimers: I don't the the shows, the story belongs to everything else belongs to the creators and the movie companies.
Warnings: With this chapter, it's going to adding one final twist, before returning to the present, as the bonds and training between the duo and their students are set up. So the trio are going to get one last chance to train under the original duo of SG-1. But their grandchildren are getting back together.
But from that point on the timeline switches into the next one as the trio and the joint chiefs, as well as the president regain their memories. And Jacob is the first to make the first change and with him is Catherine Langford, as the memory he was told about, plays itself out.
Chapter 38: Discussions and Preparations
"Don't worry Beverly, I'm making sure he never takes that road, I promise. If it means risking death again, I'm making sure he never leaves us now, he's done so well in his training at the moment, but this was a setback in his training. But this is one part of the test to gain full mastery of his abilities, the other is coming up later. But I'm not letting him give up on his training during this situation, in order to pull this off it's he's got to face up to the fact."
"That he wants to be seen as himself and not what the traveler, let alone anyone else, wants him to be. I understand how he feels, but it's time he gets what he wants to say out regarding this, he's been holding it in too long. In regarding the resentment of Marks, Hanson and their friends, and he needs to say it, just let go. And with it the guilt of Josh's death and his feelings of failure here."
"And a loss of your trust, I can deal with this, I promise, I know how he feels. Because I felt the same, before my Ascension and I'm making sure he doesn't destroy him, I swear it." Daniel said with a firm tone and Will crossed his arms at the remark as he watched his taped self say it. "So this is the Stargate version of the final episode of the movie saga, and you passed the trials needed for mastery."
"Is that what this is, force him into a position to use his abilities as an ancient, traveler or whatever at the time by making him choose between staying or leaving. So if I'm reading that one right, he either turns him in and be everything he was up until that moment or turns his back on them. And turns to the darkside as he becomes everything he was sworn to put an end to."
"And this traveler is doing it to Wes?" he asked and he nodded to him firmly as he answered him as he explained it to him. "Yeah, Anakin wanted to be treated like a normal Jedi instead of having his title thrown at him every time he turns around, dealt with three traumas in ten years. And was trying to live up to what the order wanted him to be, while the emperor was fueling his anger and hate."
"He wanted to live a normal life, have friends, have a chance at love, be like everyone else, as he group up in the outside world and had attachments. But the rigidity of the rules were enough to tick him off in the movie then, as he got more angry. He wanted more power and the ending results are once his wife was pregnant with their children, he had a choice to make: do the right thing."
"And be who he was meant to be or give into a lust for power, and he chose the latter, and it started the war that his children and their friends got into. That's this situation all over and I have to deal with it, before the traveler pushes him into that position, because of his anger. But in one case or another we have to fix your past leading up to this." he said and the quintet nodded as they got it.
"Yeah that's an understatement right now and our only chance at that is if, once we hit the virus, it's bring our memories back and we go from there. Add three added spots to senior officers, so if Data, Geordi, Worf and I are busy. Daniel, Sam and Teal'C pick up the slack in year two so four added officers, added back back. But everyone here in this have their memories, and with it, we makes a few changes that first year here."
"So aside from the girls, and the traveler we encountered, only we, 3/4's of the committee and Q know that truth and we can do this without any outside interference." Will said firmly and he nodded in agreement. "Yes and this time, once we get our memories back, if we have Q coming to join us in a bit, Wesley, Jacob. I'm saying this to both of you now at the moment here, but once our memories come back."
"After we get the timing set up correctly, I'm starting you then, but I'm telling you now, that your first responsibility is your schooling, this is just a part time job. So this way when they show up and he's seeing you dressed in your uniform, he's going to know you're already undergoing training. And if he brings it up to me, I'm saying it for the 7 of us, Daniel and Teal'C, to stay out of this, your education is up to us and that's it."
"But as this is your part time job, and your first job was as a student first, so you want to keep it you have to keep up the regime we set for you boys, understand. You boys and your team mates, though the trio are recently graduated academy cadets. The trio are joining you for advanced training, they were 17 and nearly 18 years old and just begun advanced training in practical, as for Jenkins, he's going to have to wait for it now."
"As, from the way Danny explained it to me, Charlie Barlough keeps shooting his mouth off at the wrong moment without looking at who he's insulting in the process. But you're already in your training phase, you have the memories of your entire five years under my command. And you know what you're doing because you had the know how in how to do it, and if they as how and why, I'm tell them it's a trade secret between us."
"But once we have the traveler on board as he sees you both dressed in your training uniforms, and he tells me that. It's stay out of our business, it's Commander Riker, your parents and my decision." Picard said and they nodded as Wesley said it for both them at that remark. "Then I'm lucky you were a friend of the family and we patched up our bond today, Sir, but in all honesty, we need to tell them the truth the day our crew begins."
"But the added story to it, when it comes to Derek and the quintet, or even Jenkins, is you were a friend to my parents. You saw my potential and offered me a part time job in the crew and with me was Jake at the time. But our regime was the same as their's and our new coach, was the third in command of the engineering team. So if that doesn't make a point then it will when they see you us together later on and with that."
"Like I said, I never asked for that shot that year, you gave it to me, and having a chance to help when and where I could, if we have the same problems we do in the next round. But that was more than enough, leading into before and after mom left at the time, and with that, that was enough to work through it here. And at one time or another was more than enough now, instead of these situations at the moment, but here's the rest of it, Sir."
"Ever since someone let loose that fact that that you were in his ready room mom, and despite the fact we all agreed that what happened was not to be spoken of again. Whoever did it was in earshot of Derek, he heard the conversation, heard your names and your ready room in the conversation and from there. It's that his mind took a completely sick turn as he's been making it out as you were having an affair with the captain, mom."
"And I got in on a case of quid pro quo, in the sexual sense and no matter how many times I said otherwise. These guys are fixed on not thinking it's anything and I mean anything but what they claim it to be. The added jealousy started piling up to the point that that's the reason for why the knack hit me so hard. And when we had the ambassador here, which was the reason I opted out at the concert when Sarek was here."
"With one near fist fight that the commander walked in for, and another case of insubordination. Jake told me they were at the concert and to prevent a third from breaking out in front of you, Shayla and I decided on doing something else that night. With the source of the fights in the concert hall with you and the quintet also in there. I decided that rather than risk a fight, I was preventing one altogether that night."
"But as things with these guys had shifted from insults and jibes and were about to result in violence and I told this to Dave as well. And as my supervisor, he said to never mind coming to the concert, we're setting up that sting operation fo that week. And as the syndrome did the rest and they waited for the other shoe to drop." he said and she nodded as they exchanged looks as Beverly answered him at that remark.
"If that's the case why didn't you just tell me that the next morning, honey, I mean if you decided to opt out because of them, and the fact we had two close calls in fights. Then why didn't you just tell me the reason exactly, is it because of what happened in ten forward or was it because you were trying to deal with it on your own at the time. I mean what was the problem exactly, why didn't you tell me?" she asked and he explained that.
"Because I knew that what happened in ten forward was likely going to be the result that night, to these guys, it's like I'm tattling on them regarding this at the moment. In terms of things before and after we got settled into things the years after you left and they, the crew took over. Dave took the unspoken directive here and he became our: Jake's and mine, but our coach, if we were on the JV team in the high school program at the time."
"But it was after the knack that I told him and the quintet, and in turn they told Guinan and together they decided to wait till something exposed the guys. On their acts of jealousy as the jibes shifted right into violence next as nothing, no matter what they tried, could erase the fact that, in the trio's eyes, I was far more valuable to them. They, the sextet, were waiting till something opened up that issue as I spent the next year."
"To 18 months trying to focus as things kept getting worse till finally Sarek arrived and the syndrome unlocked the resentment here. But as a result, not only were they drunk, but they were speedballing that night. In typical fashion of the top student and jealousy that they're not in the lime light. You've seen me, Sirs, I'm not going out of my way to get your attention, but it's because you've known me and Jake for a year at the time."
"With them, they just started in advanced training and with it now, it's the added act now here, that everything they've been trained to do. I've been doing this since you started me and they're beyond jealous, because I can get your attention focused. And simply because you're always standing directly behind Data and me when we're working. And case in point, is the Yamato and the void that killed Frederickson at the time."
"But to you, I mattered more, and it's because 1) you're my mother's best friend and the senior staff work as one and are close friends. And 2) it's because not only am I your student, but I'm also a surrogate son to you, all of you, and you watched me grow up. But this act of jealousy is basically the same fight that Hailey got into with Colonel Carter and the one that was the very same psychosis for Shelby and Nick at the time as well."
"I scored the highest in every class they took, won every award in every class they been in, and you been comparing them to me since they walked in the door and they just can't seem to measure up in your eyes, Sir." he said and Picard crossed his arms then. "Yes and the reason for that is because you're not the one to act on impulse. And you think through your strategy, and we believe in mind over matter and secondly right now."
"We watched you grow up and after several traumas and other situations in this case, it's dealing with the fact, now. That you don't have to pull dangerous maneuvers to get noticed, but think through your actions before you do them. But that's why I was so focused on you Wesley, you knew what I wanted and knew what you had to do. And you never showed off in the inventions to us, when we needed help, you did it and when not."
"It was the act of being our student, a student to his mentors, a son to his father, that was our bond and it's not their business what kind of relationship you have with us. But if that was the reason they just barely sabotaged our relationship. Then it's that the joke's about to be on them later, because in the next round, nothing is getting between us. As we fix the damage in our bonds, in the next round, but we have to our memories back."
"So we can fix the damage easily and it's because if we get our memories back because, if we do what the senior staff to the SGC did here. But we get our memories set for a certain time in our cases, but nothing and I mean nothing. Is ever or will ever get between us, including these children, because we had the memories. And of every situation dealt with at the time, but either in this case at the moment here."
"We just have to fix a few things in that first year and when Katherine's here, but once we do it's not going be having these children get involved in our bonds. Though this with the fact I'm no longer short handed. The situation is not going to turn into what it did. We just have to make sure, after you return to the academy to get ready for their choices." Picard said and Will finished that remark as he crossed his arms as he said it to him.
"Yes and that's an understatement at that moment and as to why, it's because to everyone who wasn't on board during that situation it's made clear now in these cases. That though they thought we met the year before they can't understand why we're acting that protective of you in these cases. And why the six of us take it so seriously with you, and with it our bonds, they try this and nothing is saving them from ending up in brig."
"And getting thrown off the ship, because our bonds are absolutely none of their business at the moment. Especially if they start getting too rough with you at the moment, regarding one concussion and then an added fist fight, but our bonds are not their business. Alright show me the incident and with it what caused the fight in the first place exactly, because with this downloaded into our memories as well it's going to help."
"Both the bar brawl and the situation with Derek, I want to see this from your point of view of what the heck happened in there, right to when I walked into the room." Will said for the three of them and he nodded. "Get ready you're not going to like it, Commander at the time here, I'd taken the unspoken remark of being the boys coach. If they'd been on the basketball team and we had a quintet of college kids ganging up on a 17 year old."
"And they were all drunk to the point that we needed to get them in the tank, because it wasn't just ethanol, but they were speedballing. And as Wes was acting like a good team captain, he reported the medically compromised players to us and that did it. They all lost their tempers and Marks hit him hard enough to knock him into the table. But if we were running a high school or college up here that's enough to have him suspended."
"From the basketball team until he's clean and he got his temper under control." Jenson said to him and he nodded. "Which is not a bad idea either at the moment here, with you being my and Jake's coach. And with the fact we had a trio of 17 to 18 years olds on board with us. But we're your students and players and to you, the trio just arrived and though they're junior to seniors in high school at the moment here, it doesn't matter."
"To you we're your kids and it's a matter of training us in hands on and the occasional practice run on the holodeck in basketball. So they want to mess with us and they're in big trouble with them being college students and us high school, Dave and with that. To you, mess with your players and they were getting arrested if they're drunk or worse." Wesley said and he nodded to him as he looked at the duo gently as he answered him.
"Yes and that's exactly my point, I may not be their coach, but that doesn't mean, at all, that the rules aren't the same for everyone here at the moment. But I'm the one training and taking care of you kids when your parents are not around and with it. If J.J. was leading the quintet, let's see how he handles things. And when his rival is a full commander, my best friend and the other coach you guys have and with this in mind."
"J.J., he's not arriving till the following year along with Anna, Peter and Jenny and with that at the moment. He wants to put it to the point, that to his training is to mind over matter as we see who's better in training. But Dan, he's got friends all over Starfleet, both in engineering and the science department. And to him, it's never judge a book by its cover, and I'm saying the same." he said and the duo nodded smiling to him at that.
"I take it you also knew Commanders Jackson, Ferretti, and Carter, if you're saying it like that?" Jake asked and he nodded. "Yeah I did, in fact, the last time I saw the trio was just before this position. J.J., he was a real big jerk and stuck on the fact it's 'think on your feet and think fast.'. But to Dan it was 'every second counts in these situations, and you leap before you look and it does more damage then necessary and with it now.'."
"Though you think you're stuck in a no winner if things look bad, never give up, because the solution is always there and if you relax and focus and you're going to find it.'. And he is very correct, what you, Billy and Robin did was exactly the point of that exercise. And it just goes to show that though there doesn't seem to be a solution just relax and you'll find it." he said and the quartet all nodded as Picard hid a smile at that as he said it.
"I get the feeling he makes friends easily Commander Jenson and if that's the case, than every half soldier/half scientist training ensign or pilot that we get up here. They're going to be seeing him as their mentor and you three, Commander La Forge and Lieutenant Worf are the ones training the quintet for that first year. Before Derek and the quintet arrive, we just keep the two groups separated once the trio arrive at the moment."
"As Daniel and Teal'C are the ones working with you, Will, Geordi and Worf, regarding the quintet's training, but Jacob Grogan was dressed in red and the girls in gold. And if that tells me anything, and I saw the way Ensign Satterfield is around him I think he's her boyfriend. Though if Brandon Elliot had survived I think their team would have partnered up, though if this tells me anything now, if Brandon survives in the next timeline."
"And his bloodline makes it this far then it's not a trio, but a quartet ending up on the ship, in their case, while Jacob and Wesley have team mates that are just like them. Until Robin and Billy join the crew and after that, it's eight on eight after that in training. As we see who pulls it off in the case of the incursion that Risa pulled on us. So if Derek wants to join their grouping that's fine as that makes my point, but it's mind over matter."
"There's more to the job then using your muscles as with running a ship, it's calculating warp jumps, dealing with with added issues here and on top of that. Is there's more to be in learning by study then by using your muscles case in point, is if he was the one leading you. You'd have been captured and the expansion goes under way, with Data, or this next round, Daniel, and you pull it off a second time." Picard said and he nodded to him.
"I get the feeling we try that and when they get arrested in the first two hours, and we manage it by having it go all night and into the next day. Then it means that like any sulking teenager, who is a total athlete interest in the sports. We see as dangerous and is going to walk into ten forward and get plastered. Because they got showed up by a bunch of brainiacs at the moment, Captain." Wesley said to him gently and he nodded to that.
"And that just makes my point, if they can't take the fact that there's more to this job than muscles, but you have to use your other skills. Original thinking and thinking ahead, you're never going to beat a mastermind like this at the moment. So if they can't take that fact that you're better then they are and they're not getting the top training. And the top squadron on board the enterprise they can try again until they get it right."
"But your squadron in that shot gets it first and the results are you keep beating them, because you did exactly what we want you to do that day. And they start making up rumors, though having the site to site on repeated jumps is enough to annoy the opposition. And no matter how many times they try to catch you, you just end up in a different spot each time." he said and and Wesley nodded with a smile at that.
"Alright again, show us the fight, leading into the bar brawl I walked into, start from the very beginning and that includes whatever happened. At the time if I saw Miles going at that blue as I did it. Because it's enough that if this tells me anything, and this time the syndrome causes Daniel to let J.J. have it this time." Will said and the sextet, Geordi and Wesley nodded to the orders as Wesley said iit for all of them gently at that.
"Computer upload the memory of the day of the bar brawl, the fifteen minutes prior to it leading into the vocal altercation between Cadet Crusher and Ensign Colin Marks. And immediately follow that by the fight leading into when Lieutenant Worf and Commander Riker walked into the room. And then the fight between Cadet Crusher and Derek Hanson." he said and they watch it get started then as Geordi and the sextet refocused.
Watching as he was sitting there talking things over with Guinan, they saw Geordi tap him on the shoulder gently. "Hey Wes, about what happened last night, I'm sorry, I'm not sure what caused that outburst."Geordi said and Wesley nodded as he answered him smiling. "It's okay, Sir, we were both on edge for some reason. But we just had another outburst here this morning at the moment here."
"And this time it did shift to violence, because we had ten outbursts in the side of twelve hours today." he said and Geordi nodded to him at that in agreement at his remark. "I heard the same thing commander, but it seems like we had more than one sudden outburst of violence breaking out around here right now. And four of those are in the teenage department as well." Shayla Janson said and he nodded.
"Something weird is going on around here, Deanna said she heard the exact same thing from ten different people over the last two days here. Alright I get the feeling it's about to get worse, if it hasn't already by now. Though if I know anything it's that this fact is about to shift from random violence and into a brawl." he said and Wesley nodded, though just as he was answering his remark then.
They heard the next start up and recognized the voice as the transporter chief then as the fight started off gently. "Excuse me, but we were sitting here." they heard and turned to look at the conversation. "Yeah I remember that, and Fieldman was acting like it was first come first served and acting the tough guy with it. We just left the table for five minutes to get something to drink." O'Brien said and Picard and Will nodded to him.
"Well we're sitting here now." They heard from a man in a blue uniform as O'Brien answered him. "Come on fella, this is our table." he said and the man smirked as he answered him and they sighed at that as he said it to him. "Really, funny I don't see your name on it." he said and they watched as Wesley grabbed Geordi at that. "Geordi, it's about to get nasty here, look over there." he said and he turned to look at them.
As they listened to the fight, seeing the escalating tension in his friend then Geordi remembered it firmly as he said it. "Yeah this was just the prelude to the oncoming fight that night, but this is what I meant Beverly. It was barely fifteen minutes later that the fight went from vocal to physical and I got him out of the room just as someone knocked me into the wall." he said to her and they nodded as they watched the debate.
As it shifted from courtesy to possible stand off and a near fist fight. "Oh boy, the chief may look like he's a push over, but he's anything but, after his trying to help Greyson arrest Roga six months ago." Wesley said and Geordi nodded in agreement. And O'Brien hid a smile as he answered that remark with a gentle smile on his face. "Yes and for obvious reasons here, I've had to deal with one fight or another that year, on my own, before we got security in there." he said to him gently to that and he nodded.
As he heard Geordi's recorded response in answer to his statement then. "Yeah but none of us are pushovers, we may may look like we're not up to it, but we're anything but. Though having a soldier like Danar attack us when our backs are turned is not helping their cases right now, in these situations at the current moment." he said and he nodded in agreement as they listened to argument then.
"Yeah well whatever is causing this is getting out of hand right now and it just went from possible standoff to a probable fight." The bartender said to him then. "Didn't your mother ever teach you manners." they heard from O'Brien and the duo both stood up at that as Geordi said it firmly. "That's what I meant when we said that, one minute things were slightly tense and the next it's on the edge of a fist fight."
"As I deflected this, before Marks started another ten minutes later."" he said as he heard his recorded image say it then. "Aw crap, not again, here we go again, alright you two stay over here." he told them and they nodded as he walked over. "Hey, hey, guys, is there some kind of problem here?" he asked with a firm tone and O'Brien answered him without taking his eyes off the man he was arguing with as he said it then.
"Well there seems to be some kind of question to who's table this is." he said and Geordi said it gently. "Well there are plenty of other tables, right?" He said reasonably and the O'Brien sighed and nodded. "Yeah I suppose you're right." he said and I sighed in relief then. "Why I don't I get everyone another round of drinks, okay." Geordi told him and he nodded as he patted them both on the shoulder then as the duo and Jake saw Wesley watching the sextet carefully as Geordi walked up to him.
As he looked between him to the bartender at that. "Is it my imagination or are the tempers getting a little frayed around here on the ship lately right now?" he asked in a bemused tone and Geordi and the bartender nodded in agreement to that. "I'm not sure what the hell is going on here, but be ready for anything here." he said and he nodded as, looking at O'Brien, he then turned to the rest of the team.
"Hey guys, group meeting, come on." he said and the sextet walked over. "What's up Wes?" he asked and Wesley explained that. "Whatever caused that fight between me and Geordi last night just hit you and it's turned into a live wire around here. But so far we've had this same problem in either physical violence or people getting testy with each other from ten different people over the last two days." he said and they nodded as they relaxed at that ad O'Brien answered him.
"So where did it start exactly?" he asked and Wesley sighed. "It started with me and Ensign D'Amato, followed by you and Geordi the night before." Worf said as he heard Wesley repeat that remark. "It started with Ensign D'Amato and he got into a vocal altercation with Worf and Worf put him on report, for insubordination. Later that night I got the news from Jake that the quintet were going to be at the concert."
"And immediately following that was Geordi and me and the commander walked in just as the fight turned into yours and nearly resulted in a fist fight. This morning mom and I got into it and it did shift to physical violence, don't ask."He said and she sighed. "Yeah and it's because I thought you deliberately skipped out, I didn't realize it was because you were attempting to keep it from happening again."
"And this time right in front of us at the time." Beverly said and he nodded as he answered her. "Yeah and it's because with they're being inebriated and on drugs, the psychosis was getting worse by the minute. And the syndrome unlocked the door here at the time." he said as his recorded self finished that remark. "But an hour later we had two more adults lose it and another fight turned altercation today as a result."
"Another an hour later and it did turn into a fight, three teenagers in a flat out fist fight in the classroom. And Hanson and his friends got into it with Jake and a friend of his. And I heard that Peterson and Wilcox just ended up in a fight with Davis and Renfro, just before we got in here and yours got started. But that makes 20 and if I've got to guess, than Deanna heard this already."
"And from ten different people all over the ship of fights breaking out, and it's either physical violence or tempers getting testy with each other. I mean normally we do fine when we don't have outside influences getting involved and suddenly we got a string of violent vocal outbursts breaking out. Or someone starting a real physical fight and it's all in the space of four days."
"But does that seem strange right now?" he said and they nodded as they exchanged looks at this. "It does when you're not monitoring the added side effect or tracing it to when and where they started from. And said start from is when my father and stepmother, as well as their group beamed on board the ship." Spock said in answer to that as they heard the answering response from one of the technicians in answer to that.
As Sarah MacDougal answered him at that remark with a bemused look on her face. "With that, I think it's safe to say that Sarek and his party are the reason for it right now, because the outbursts of violence. And physical or no, started at virtually the same time as when Sarek and his party beamed on board the ship." she said and O'Brien sighed. "You alright now Chief?" Wesley asked and he nodded.
"Yeah and I haven't a clue to what caused that in me just now, but this is getting out of hand. But at the moment, and you're right, but this is getting serious right now, I mean 10 fights in the spaces of 2 days, normally we're on good terms with each other. But this time it's the act of outside sources causing tempers to get more frayed then normal around here lately and with that."
"This happens again and someone is going to start something here."he said and Wesley nodded. "So far we had two last night, three this morning and three more, before it landed in here, this keeps up its turning to a full blown fight or worse. But at this rate, if the effects of whatever's causing this combine with alcohol or worse someone's on drugs and they've had one too many, at the moment."
"And case in point the quintet if they're drunk."he said and they all nodded to that as he finished that. "Yeah well at the moment we have six college athletes trying to push the limit no matter how far they can just to get noticed by the captain and Commmander. But remember what you told me before, you have zero tolerance for showing off, hotdogging, going by our gut instincts."
"Or trying to act like a hero, I took your lessons seriously since the captain activated me, and you know I'd never get involved in a situation like Roga. But these guys are trying to push the limits, trying to get passed a bunch of asteroids. Playing chicken with the Cardassians or some other fool hardy maneuver, you try that and your luck is going to run out sooner or later."
"But how many times have you guys said it exactly, how many times, there's more to the job then using your muscles. You have to use the other five subjects in high school to make it in this job, case in point the Polywater virus. But history and biology class, piloting and engineering: chemistry and calculus. But there's more to this then just being in Phys Ed."he said and they nodded to him.
"You're right about that and you've been passing these tests with the highest scores in practical that these kids get in simulation. And in this case, there's more to the job then just using your muscles, but the captain and commander believe in brains over brawns, always have and always will. While I'd consider this obsession a case of a health violation and physical burn out right now."
"Though this keeps up and I'm looking at the kids that got ticked at the team captain and his gang for reporting them for a health violation and with it. If this heads in the direction of a physival burn out it maybe necessary to relive the kids of duty and in Hanson and Parker's cases. To put them on medical suspension till they're clean." Jim Shimoda said and he nodded in agreement to that.
"Someone starts something in here and we have to get security in here before said altercation turns into a bar brawl, or worse at this rate. But whoever causes it, influenced by whatever this is or no. And it's getting them a week on light duty under watch if they're beyond loaded later. At the rate this is going and you already took the unspoken agreement to be my and Jake's coach, Dave."
"If the commander walks in the door just as the fight starts and we drag them before the captain, we're your players and with my date in here as well. I don't think you got a choice, but varsity captain going at the JV captain for one reason or another. And they're drunk, so everyone watching the conversation get ready for the fight here." Wesley said and the seven nodded in agreement to that remark.
"Alright again be on watch and ready for whatever's coming next and..." Geordi started to say as the O'Brien looked at the quintet. "Oh boy, how many did they have exactly, because they're looking like they're all drunk." Jenson asked and the bartender answered that. "With those kids, I was sticking it to the synthethol, though I think if they did replicate alcohol someone just crossed the line."
"And the regime strictly forbid drinking when on duty, especially when we have government officials on board at the moment right now. But the captain ordered that no one under the age of 26 was to be drinking when on duty and they're all 24 years old. If they were drinking it's getting it from the bartender just before me. Because Guinan's off duty right now at the moment and I need backup."
"With Lal now gone she was the only strong enough to break things up before someone got hurt if a fight broke out. But if this is heading for a real fight every adult better keep and eye out for the time being. But this gets started and we better get Greyson or Jack in here." he said and they all nodded. "Son if whatever this is causes them to flip out be ready, because we're coming to you."
"And we're on watch in case of trouble, because they start going at you, I think it's safe to that whatever this is, it's causing us to speak whatever we wouldn't normally say in front of the captain or the commander. Though if this is what I think, I think it just shifted back to what you told us." O'Brien said for all of them and Wesley nodded as they shifted position to the table directly across from the counter.
"Fieldman, Janson, get ready we could have trouble in a second." he added and the duo both nodded. "Yeesh, what the heck is going on here?" Peter Janson asked and he shrugged. "I wish I knew right now, but what I do know, is that we could have a case of speedballing in the college age athletic department and my players are the target, so stand by." Jenson said in answer to that and he nodded.
"College age?"he repeated and Jenson nodded to him."Yeah the quintet are just short of graduate school age, my boys are just under 18. And they've been here longer, but after the knack, I think it shifted from insults and jibes. And is about to shift into violence with them possibly drunk and speedballing right now. And to answer the unasked question at the moment, Wes and Jake, but the kids."
"I've been their unspoken coach since Beverly left the ship and with that, in mind." he said and the duo nodded."Yeah I get the point and we'll keep an eye out." Fieldman said as Wesley sat there talking to Shayla then. "Yeah and I can't say I blame you for that remark right now David, and as to why right now. It's because I did order that no one was supposed to be drinking when on duty anyway at the time."
"I take it this was ten minutes before the fight broke out honey?" Beverly asked and he nodded to her softly. "Yeah but get ready for this, because I knew you weren't going to like the results. Or that Deanna was feeling thirty different sets of emotions and not being to tell who the fight started with. Though you got definite hit after my fight with Derek later that night after you called him into your office." he said and the quartet nodded.
Watching they saw that things were quiet in the room for fifteen minutes, before they saw a red shove him in the back. And then saw his date as she steadied him and he said it sharply as he gripped her gently as he said it firmly."Hey what's your malfunction, pal, what was that for." he asked and turned around and saw Ensign David Marks standing there as he said it sharply then to him as he looked at him then at that.
"Marks what's your problem man, was that really necessary, I mean you could have asked me to move. Being polite works better then getting physical right now at the moment." he said to him as they saw a furious look on his face. "I really don't see why the duo even bother with listening to some little brat like you right now." he snapped and they watched as he stood up as he focused on him firmly.
'Oh great, just as that one ends, this one gets started, he's drunk and possibly stoned. And more than likely on the effects of whatever caused that fight a bit ago. Alright I'm in total control, but if this doesn't work in calming him down he needs to be arrested, before he starts something.' They heard as he answered him gently, but firmly then as he watched his video taped self then as he answered him.
"Whatever this is about, wasn't my doing, so, if you don't want to get written up right now and since we're not the only people under 25. Ensign, you're drunk, calm down now here Colin." he said to him sternly as they got a better look they saw he was beyond loaded and they knew he had more than just the synthethol then. 'Oh boy how many did he have exactly, he's looking like he's ready to collapse here?'
'Damn it, alright act like the JV captain I am, this varsity player has had one too many and is possibly speedballing right now.' they heard as he locked gazes with the sextet and Geordi. 'Wes see if you can get him to calm down, but if he keeps this up we're arresting him, because we don't need another fist fight this soon. You're my team captain, so just try, if not we're coming to you, son.'
'But just be ready in case this latest one causes a free for all right now.' They heard from Jenson and he quickly answered him. 'Dave, I'd say he's had more than the maximum safest dose in ethanol and possibly he's on drugs with it. So be ready in case this does get physical.' They heard in answer to that thought as they saw, through his eyes, his skin looking reddish pale and he was drenched in sweat.
'Alright whatever's in his system is mixed with the alcohol and it's not synthethol, but the really good stuff. Aw crap, he's beyond drunk right now, oh boy mom's not going to take this well when she hears this.' they heard as he answered him. "Yeah that's an understatement and especially when I forbid drinking on duty anyway and these kids are crossing physical limit lines not meant to be crossed."
"Right now and with it you guys read my mind, that if meant arresting these kids before they drove themselves right into the wall. You had it right that the limit we set it to was two and only that, but drinking, and doing this when you're under 25 years old. If we were back in the 20th century and us officers caught one of our subordinate drunk. That's enough to get the arrested, because this was a felony, either on earth or up here."
"But 80% of the ship was adults ranging from 25 to their mid 50' and early 60's and with that, these guys weren't even out of their young adult stage. At that age you're stuck between being a teenager and an adult, and they want the freedom. Now, of making their own decisions in this, but there were close to 150 teenagers on board and you guys were the model students we preffered, in giving a clear example to the teenagers now."
"And it's the act of being the team that role models for these kids, but you and Jake were the model teenage officers the kids should have been looking too at the time. And instead of a quintet of college hotshots at the time as well, you were my pride boys. Especially when it came to training, but you anticipated my every decision and did it. And without without needing to be told to, as to that, was you're the top students in my eyes."
"And this need to be in the lime light was going to be the self destruct switch." Will said firmly to that as Beverly finished that remark. "And we had to get them off active duty and before they crashed and burned. But this was going too far because they're jealous that Jean Luc and Will pay more attention to you guys then they do to the college age students." she said and he nodded as Jenson answered her as he sighed then.
"Yeah and believe me when I say that if it wasn't for the fact I'd taken the unspoken position of being your son's coach when it came to this. Then I would have immediately stepped in, but I was furious enough these kids had forced my favorite student into pushing himself into a collapse the year before. But this was steadily heading in the direction a fist fight now at the moment, Bev." he said and they nodded to him at that.
"And since when did you start calling me that Dave?" she asked looking at him with a slight smile at the nickname and he chuckled. "Since you got transferred back up here and like I told this kid, this is my business when said kid happens to be the son of a friend. And two we've been friends for three years at the time, and he's my favorite student and he and Jake were my players." he said and she nodded as Wesley said it.
"At your age, if we were that teenage hockey team and you were playing the high school version to the players previous coach. But your temper when you're in business mode I never want it turned on me at the moment. But I never went for minds games with guys like this, but 1) you needed B's or better to play and 2), you never allowed the use of the toxic chemicals and we got caught and we were suspended from training as a result."
"But to us and I was saying this for you at the time, but he's lucky Colonel O'neill wasn't in the room with us and you were. Because after seeing his temper regarding the trio's grandparents, that's enough of reason to take it seriously. Because Sarah said her grandmother ended up having that lecture given to her ten times. After her team mate kept getting in trouble with O'neill's grandfather before he died that year at the time."
"And to quote the guys remark, if O'neill really was here at the moment if these guys were his players and you were in the room with us at the moment. And you're just as bad as the commander is when he loses his temper at time and with the that in mind right now. It's never cross you guys when you're this stern about training and proper procedure in our regimes." Wesley and he nodded with a bemused smile as he said it for him.
"Yeah and it was a damn good thing I'm not their coach or they'd be suspended from training, the bridge and the areas they spent the most time in. For three months at the time, but that makes my point, and you let them push you into a grudge match. And the results are you lost whatever mental edge you may have had against them. And now they know they own you, but that's my first lesson to you right now kiddo and with that."
"But what was my key point in that lesson, regarding this, before I came to join you and Shayla, son?" he asked and they smiled. "That there's no reason to sink to their level by letting them draw you into a fight at the time." Wesley said and the group smiled. "Yeah exactly, they're trying to make them feel better about themselves by ganging up on a true star player, but just because they're cheating when it comes to wargames."
"It doesn't mean you should sink to their level, because they're not worth getting in trouble for and losing your position as captain of the team, son." Jenson said and he nodded as he answered him. "Yeah and we never would cross that line anyway Dave, as it is, if you were really took that position at the time, leading into when they arrived. We had you training us, and to us, it was never mind the mind games with these guys."
"We're not breaking the rules and having you, Commander Riker, and Lieutenant Worf get ticked that we got into a fight with the varsity team and they're drunk." he said to him as they listened to the next remark at that. "Don't tell me what to do you little smart Alec." Marks said and Wesley crossed his arms at that remark then. "Yeah I wasn't bothering with sinking to his level by that point." he said and Jake nodded to him firmly.
As he said it then as the sextet knew what this was. "And if it wasn't for the fact we were both getting sick of this type of thing. I would have been with Wes and Shayla that night, before the fight broke out. But at this rate I reached my limit of they're picking on us, because we had your attention and they didn't. You actually preferred us to hotshots like these guys, Sirs." Jake said and the duo both nodded as Picard answered that remark.
"Yes and that's an understatement and it's because we spent one full year together when they arrived and in just one year things change. As does one month and with it now, in the new timeline, once we get our memories back, we're having you wearing the uniforms. You were dressed in leading up to this point, but boys, your first job is your academic career if we need you we'll let you know, but focus on your grades first here."
"Because that year when Katherine arrives, is the first summer of your part time jobs and the regime in your cases is the same as it was before. But you're not alone in it, because Jacob Grogan, Sarah Hailey and Dana Satterfield are joining you now. But they're your squadron and study group till Robin and Billy join us, alright." he said and they nodded. "I'm betting if the quintet start this up again, the trio are not going to take it well here."
"Especially Hailey, because she gets overly protective of her team mates and in this case, to her the boys are her kid brothers. So cross her and she's going to let them have it at the moment, though Daniel calls out on the fact that he hit him with the knack. And he's ending up in the brig, long before the rot finishes him off." Will said and Geordi said it. "Yeah and at the moment we better have Derek or Jack in the room with us, as to why."
"We got a man who's so drunk he's picking a fight with 17 year old in plain view of every officer higher then ensign in the room with him. And they're all 13 to 25 years older then he is." Geordi said as they listened to the fight. "Hey I didn't ask for that position at the time, he decided to give me a shot that year. But I'm a training ensign, Marks, I'm his apprentice, his student, he's my father's best friend and that's it."
"He decided to give me a shot and mom decided to let me stay after he offered to look after me. But I'm seventeen, or did you forget this with you this loaded right now. But it's no damn business what bond and friendship I have with the senior staff right now here. And again, you're drunk so take it down several notches or you're getting arrested here Marks, and I mean it right now."
"Or did you forget that we're not alone in this room and those officers surrounding us are 13 to 25 years older then you are. And my coach is in the room with us at the moment as well. If you really want to get yourself arrested just keep it up at the moment. Because they're all getting sick of this right now Colin." he said to him and he shoved him against the desk and the guys stood up.
"Whatever's causing you to act like right now, you better dial it down Marks, you're drunk. You know the rules the captain gave you: no drinking when on duty if you don't calm down right now. And it's not just you're ending up in the tank, you're also getting written up, so calm down right down."he added to him as he said it then sternly and he sighed as he said it to her then at that remark.
"At the moment he was too drunk to realize that we had 50 officers and 20 civilians in the room with us and with it those officers. Aside from himself, me, Shayla and his clique were all twice his age at the time. And with it I was trying to tone it down as I gave him a warning, but that's where it started getting worse." he said and she nodded as she saw the sextet watching as she heard the warning tone in Jenson's voice at that remark.
"Marks I swear you touch him at all like that you're getting thrown through that door right now. Calm down right now, or you're ending up in the tank." they heard in answer to his remark from Jenson and the quartet hid a nod of agreement. "Look whatever this is about can be touched on when you're completely sober Colin, but at the moment this is neither the time nor place for this conversation."
"As we're not alone right now and you're not thinking straight either. Now get it together and calm or you're getting arrested and put in the tank." he said to him and the ensign snapped at him."Sure you're some kind of captain's pet, but you're just some stupid little brat, I don't get why they're even wasting their time on you." Marks said with a growl and Wesley said it firmly then to him at that remark.
"I'm not defending my reasons, but the short version is my parents are his best friends and in case you haven't noticed right now. We're surrounded by officers that are ten to twenty years older than you are, along with the bartender. And along with that at the moment its that I'm just a teenager, I'm 17, you're picking a fight with a 17 year old and you're a college kid and you're an adult."
"And did you forget basic protocols as well right now, it's against regulations to be drinking when on duty right now anyway. Captain's orders: no one is allowed to be drinking if they're younger than 25 years old. And not when they're on duty either you want to get arrested right now, because I got a line to one of the teams that will do that." Wesley said in answer to that and Shayla backed up at that.
"Commander, he's drunk, I think he had more than the synthethol here, but possibly the really good stuff." They heard Shayla say as they heard the answering response. "I think he's more than drunk, he's definitely speedballing right now. God, where is Data or Lal when you need them right now, she would be able to subdue this kid pretty fast." Golderg said as he repeated his remark of his taped self.
As they heard O'Brien answer his remark as his tone went stern. "He touches him at all after what he told us and he's getting thrown through that door right now. He's drunk and possibly on the edge of ending up in the tank." he said as they heard Wesley's next remark. "Marks you're walking a fine line in getting arrested, because those guys in the engineering crew get overly protective of me."
"You really want to start this with half of the crew that can take you apart in here right now, get it together and take it down several notches now. We got two groups in here ready to arrest you if this turns physical, one being the medical team. And the other a group as skilled as the security teams here, and I don't care if they are engineers or not at the moment, but don't try it Colin."
"And with those words in mind right now at the moment here, the medical department specifically prohibited taking in more than two when on duty. Let alone bringing any type of drug on board this ship, medical orders. And did you forget something else here, my mother is the CMO on board this ship. So you even touch me and she's hauling you up on charges, I'm 17 years old you fool."
"You're an adult, I'm a teenager, and my coach is in the room with us, just try it and he and the rest of the crew over 25 are taking you down right now. So try it and they're going to break your neck for putting me in sick bay here, so stand down right now. I'm saying for them, for the last and final time, calm down and stand down right now." he said sternly as, at that, Geordi walked up behind him.
As they watched the five members of the engineering crew walk up. "Wes what may I ask is going on here?" Jenson asked and Marks said it sharply. "But out Jenson, this is none of your business." he said and he crossed his arms at that. "Rule 1) when it comes to Dave, you better not get rude or start talking back to him, or you're in big trouble and Colin just caused the stern part of my coach to activate at the moment."
"I've seen him like these maybe three times, the first being after Jake took the shuttle to the training station I was at and he was ticked at his trying that when he wasn't ready for it." Wesley said to them and they nodded as Jenson crossed his arms as he remembered this. "When it pertains a member of my team, especially if they're younger then twenty and the child of a friend, you better believe it's my business."
"Young man he's one of my players and you're drunk so with that in mind you better calm down now. As for that attitude problem right now, I'm only giving you one chance. Or did you forget who you're talking to right now at the moment young man, as my rank is on my uniform. As I see this like any college or high school athlete who's ticked that he's being jumped by someone better."
"And you're too drunk to realize you're talking back to a superior officer and with those words in mind right now. Now you may not be part of my grouping, but that doesn't mean the rules are not the same for every portion on board. So when the captain and commander, or Commander Data, are not around. We of the next section over are in charge son, as to that the trio are not in the room."
"And I do believe we already had this conversation 5 times as everyone in here is either lieutenant to ensign. Commander La Forge and I are the highest rank in the room, and with those words in mind right now. If you don't want to end up in sickbay for getting arrested for DUI, since it's illegal. Both on earth and up here to be be drinking, on drugs or both when either at the controls of the ship."
"On the holodeck or the car when inebriated, and especially when you're on duty and this could be considered that at the moment. But as you're still just a child in our eyes, I'd consider this a health violation right now. But the captain specifically forbid anyone to be drinking the real stuff when on duty. And as I catch you when you did, it's I'm giving you only one chance to calm down."
"So you better take it down a notch and cool down, young man, settle down right now Colin. Or you're getting arrested, now again cool down now young man." he said sternly as Jennifer Barnfield added in to that remark as she wrapped her arm around me."Back off you geek." they heard in answer to that remark and the quartet swallowed at the insult as they saw Jenson's eyes narrow in anger at that.
"Rule 2), whatever you do, never insult him or go for the insubordinate act or he's taking you down right then. With my coach, once you start acting like this, you're on the edge of ending up being suspended from duty for a week up to a month. If this was really a high school that you were running Sir. And he was getting ready to drag him to you and mom, right then for that remark, while getting ready to call out the added touch in this."
"As medical suspension until they were clean of the drugs or ethanol, whatever it was that combined with the syndrome. But he was digging himself into the hole with every remark that came out of his mouth here. And by that point Shayla and I had backed into Tom and Rick by that point." Wesley said and they both nodded to him firmly at that remark. "Yeah and I don't blame you, because technically we were the faculty and this was escalating."
"Into a possible fist fight and you were trying to give me room to deal with this, but this was slowly digging him into a medical suspension at the time." Jenson said firmly to him. "Yes and I can't say I blame you you for that Dave." Beverly said to him gently at that. "Young man, did you forget just who the hell you're talking to right now. You're walking a fine line of ending up on report for insubordination right now."
"And DUI, and we're only giving you one chance right now to calm down and dial it down, or you're getting arrested." he said sternly and they watched as Wesley swallowed at that. "Dave, I think whatever is causing this just combined with the alcohol. If this was like the effects of the sarcophagus technology, I think whatever this is has people saying whatever they're thinking at the time here."
"And especially buried thoughts of resentment, he can't say what he's truly thinking to the captain. Let alone the commander, and Lieutenant Worf without getting reported for when we have no outside influences on the ship. But when those feelings break down the door and the victim starts lashing out. And when combined with alcohol or drugs, and here's the result at the moment."
"The effects of this syndrome has every suppressed emotion breaking down the front door, but when turned evil or brainwashed or even under the influence of this technology. Then you tell the truth no matter how much it hurts the victim you're bashing. But at the moment they're completely jealous here, and it's getting worse." he said to him as Barnfield said it for him as sternly as she could.
