The Bonds Of Family And Friends
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: Starting with the arrival on planet number one and one by one, the trio are working out the situation for '3' days as the 'mission' starts. Though the trio spend four days on each planet, the only days being shown here. Are the first day and last day between planets now as they go from planet to planet.
As the following month and a half gets started and their missions start from there now. Though the image follows the book closely, the situation is slightly different here. And as it's 368 years in the past that they're simulating in this situation, as they use the trio's mission on this as a way to chart a course.
And the trio are learning in how to handle a situation like this right now, as starting in the beginning here. That Wesley hasn't had time to practice his pyrokinetics at this time and they brought phasers that match their own. But on low power to deal with creating a fire at night to stay warm here for this.
As the test begins the following 32 chapters now, and it's following the team's trip through the trial planets in the Barque Of Heaven. As each 2 chapter piece takes on 1 planet and include the hostile planet that the team ran into Ra's other Mate on. These next chapters from here have the ending results are that, once again, like the Dixon Hill simulation, the holodeck went haywire again.
And before Wesley leaves, he's got to fix the holodeck he is using, before they combine three holodecks together. To create a tunnel or cave network for the bonding exercise that he does with Will's team and security teams he's close to. So from here the process follows a new way to deal with the situation, but this story follows the new version to my crossover story in stargate SG-1 now.
But from here this story is one of three that brings back Lal as her android self again, instead of being a computer program. So the duo are matched in age, Lal is a droid version of a teenager now in this. And they're borrowing some ideas and equipment off of my other story, as this one is taking off. And from my crossover, in a new timeline, so they fixed a few things that went wrong now.
Chapter 29: The Hour Of Trembling And Hathor Aftermaths I
Engineering Nobody's POV Continued:
"Looks like Daniel left a spare message for whoever tries this if they're completely human and not a host." Admiral Henry 'Hank' Landry said and the trio nodded as they listened to Wesley's explanation to Jake and Picard thought it over. "Computer, trade Cadet Crusher's voice for Commander Daniel Jackson's voice. As Wesley Crusher is a cub version of him, and Daniel sounds just like his grandfather." Hammond said and it switched voices then.
"Well this should be good, Daniel told us he found Ra's safehouse and after the test ended, he gave us the coordinates. To get to the planet and we got a score of close to $15,000,000,000 dollars in goods." Jacob said as they heard it. "Yeah I agree with that remark, Sam said that the first round tested their bonds to the limit. But they pulled through." Will said as he watched it as they watched gently at that as she called out.
"Jake we got it!" Lal called out and he nodded in relief to the news as they listened to their conversation. "They got them in just short of 90 minutes of arriving there after getting their supplies. But I think Jake was used to being his only friend and he's getting jealous." Goldberg said and Kurland nodded. "No need to be, if you three were together since year one that would be fine for this, but this is like dealing with a few weeks."
"Now that there is few issues at the moment that can be dealt with, but first you got to spend a mission developing it." he said softly to that news gently. "Get's even better though, while going to get it we found one of the arrows. That they mentioned in journey to the center or the earth, but instead of the person that did it. And it gave off SG's 1 and 1-A's code name, and we know that they were here."
"What with Martell dealing with the recruits like Captain Roger's grandfather, so Jackson and Carter left us a message. Going by the way we decided to plan this out, then jumping feet first into it." he said and Jake nodded to him. "Yeah that's going to test it highly." Will said to that remark gently. "Well go ahead, if you read it between yourselves, let me have it, so I know what Jackson told us."
"Wait check that, sorry, kind of lonely without being at your side as well." he said and they nodded. "It's fine and we get it, before it was just you and me and then we add a third team mate to the team now, but we get trouble. And we have two more members of the team, we don't need you guys fighting over me with the fact I got two trios now." he said and they nodded to that Will said it gently.
"He's right guys, this mission was meant to test you to the limit right now, test your friendship, but just you three is one thing, but when he leaves. Well then who knows what's going the happen next." he said and Beverly nodded in agreement to that. "Will's right kids, the test is meant to invoke a divide and conquer, test your friendship. And right to the limit, they're trying to divide you guys, so don't let them right now."
"Just focus cubs, concentrate and you'll make it, but you know if he makes more friends like you. It's meant to put it right to the limit, this or a possible foothold, just focus, five members but a single team, and Lal is in the computer. But if two of you get hit, he has Lal and whoever it is watching his back now if we have his new friends here now. But four trio's, there is no reason to fight over my son, guys, you guys all have a bond now."
"Four trios, this is your first mission as the first trio now, your next mission is your bonding test and following that is next year you got two more team mates added. But if two are disable then you got a back to help him insure the mission is a success." Jenson said to them gently and Beverly finished that. "Guys we get it, this is going to be a difficult time for you, but you're a team, the Kiersey Temperament Sorter just activated."
"But you may not have all that in common, but what you do is more important, you're Starfleet cadets, you're bonded by that, my son, and your future placement now." she said and as they heard his voice change into Daniel's then. Listening to his voice, the sextet of general turned admirals felt their hearts tear at the loss of their version then. Their version, lost in time until the effects switched course one year later for them.
'Love you Danny, we miss you guys so much, we're counting down the days till we're back together now.' they all thought together as they heard his voice, his gentle tones in explanation, their working out military plans as he said it. "'Dear fellow initiates of the Trial Of Moons, if you are human and ended up in the test. Then you know that this situation has only just started right now at moment, listen to me.'."
"'Listen carefully, from here on in, this situation is going to test your bonds of friendship like nothing ever could. I know that officers like Makepeace and Jack's twin see this as trapped in a death trap. But the knowledge this brings with the test is more valuable then anything ever could be. Finding the storehouse for our planet was the priority, we needed some supplies from it.'."
" 'If you're a member of our descendants and reading this, and you met Omac, after he turned into Q now and his fellow Tollan with him. Here's the truth regarding this, if you met my adoptive uncle and godfather, and his best friends. It was after I resisted the effects of Hathor's pheromone and they didn't and pulled it off in one shot, regarding the prototype GDO, that they cracked.'."
"They, Maybourne, Mckenzie and other soldiers, all black op, and even Generals West and Vidrine convinced themselves. That I was a traitor and I was crazy, dangerous and out of control. But with the evidence splattered all over the cameras, and witnesses of my friends no less. And two of who were my trio as a cub, we turned John into our family psychiatrist, Dr. Jacob Robert Carson.'."
"Unfortunately for John, Carson treated him after he got stuck in Iraq, but 9 scores, repeated scores that year. I was beyond invaluable to the joint chiefs, IOA and President Clinton at the time, that they all lost their minds. Convinced themselves they were straight and I was dangerous. But nothing they said worked in the eyes, of the trio, the joint chiefs, the IOA or even the president."
"'Let alone the medical and psychiatrict department, that they went and tried to set me up. Just so they could make it look like I was everything they'd been saying. And since Hathor, but I escaped and went east, getting first to my wife. Friends, my mentor and my college Priest, before going straight to Saint Louis. Right after the joint chiefs IOA and the president called off the manhunt."
"And my family and I dropped in on Robert Manneheim, but that did it, as even in critical condition here. But this was the line that, in John's eyes, he couldn't believe, I already had orders by the joint chiefs, Jack and Hammond. Not to rock the boat, the safety of the civilian had to come first, so duty to the truth. I had a duty to the truth, to protect my fellow colonels from this man.'."
"And from Pyrus, but John was holding onto the schizo effctive of duty to your friends, a true colonel and team leader understands this. That to go back for a team that could get you captured and with you, your team captured as well. Frank, or to you, as Cadets if you found this letter, Colonel Cromwell, was my best friend and team leader, he and Jack, they drilled that into me for years."
"What was also drilled into me, by General Carter, was we can't go running of to our offworld allies every time someone's life is endanger. A black ops would say it well worth the risk, but to a true leader, no one's life. No one is more important to risk the lives of others, just to safe the life of that victim. John murdered, by letting Nirrti go, a tribe who were changed to create a hok'taur."
" 'To answer that question is Hok is goa'uld for advanced, Taur is slang for tauri, which is what all goa'uld and Jaffa, even Tok'ra, call us as humans. So she gets a sample from Cassie's blood, she could create a new host finally. And become dangerously powerful, as she exterminated Cassie's people. Once we came into it, as she never wanted her experiments exposed to the majority, or us.'."
" 'His choices slaughtered an entire tribe, so he could save Janet's daughter Cassie in the original time-line. And with this was a group of marines, as Cassie's people and her real parents were wiped out at the time. Further investigation this was we discovered that her ability to phase shift. Allowed her to sneak into the base at the time, but all he cared about was saving Cassie.'."
" 'As a result, he was responsible for the deaths of 700 people from the tribe, and with them another Russian team as we lost another team. Fortunately every team we lost was cloned by that point so ever offcer was still alive. But that didn't matter to me, Sam or Teal'C, to us, he allows his emotions to get in the way of what has to be done and it destroys lives as it killed a tribe of people.'."
" 'And with this tribe, was a team and a group of Marines who quickly learned that associating with the NID is hazardous to your heath. As a result in the new timeline, the NID had their memories erased, so nothing they did or said. Nothing could erase the fact I outsmarted them all and even hurt and in critical condition, I still pulled it off and made sure that they got arrested for it.'."
" 'Hurt or not, I still managed to get the job done and as the duo were stuck in in psych watch, nothing they or the NID said made a diference. To Janet, Hammond and Carson, as the months went by and we hit 451. His stint in Iraq came back to haunt him as we cloned Boyd and his unit at the time. As Cromwell was also cloned, and he was stuck under psyche watch ever since.'."
"At the time here, the second attempt to have me classified was by them creating this beyond idiotic theory that the gate system causes schizophrenia. But that got blown as well as we had a Jaffa on the base, barely 48 hours after I get infected, I am back to normal, although Tom gets hit by it now. But that did it as Mckenzie was the first to go, just before this mission happened.'."
"But while I got results by being who I am, they self destructed and went to getting the more dangerous technology. Technology that was, for the most part, that was not on the list that Jacob would suggest us getting at the time. Said was of the following in technology: ships, his fleet, the sarcophagi. These items in his eyes and Omac and Lya's eyes, they were a big no no, to them.'."
"So instead, Sam and I suggested us getting his supply of building mineral, the naquada, and a surplus in training and real weaponry, that he approved of. We learned from our fatal mistake in retrofitting a deathglider, that year. And instead switched to smaller items in retrieval, weapons, building technology. Even gathering more naquada to create the reactors now in this mission.'."
"My idea was worth looking into in Jacob's eyes, as we gained a surplus of everything we needed as his human army now. The stuff that the entire group was giving us, as a result with the fact no one knew where it was. But Sam and I did, that was a big benefit in the joint chiefs and IOA's eyes now. After Ra gave me his permission to gather further suppies from his warehouse."
"But while I got results by being who I am, they self destructed and went to getting the more dangerous technology. Technology that was, for most part, not on the list that Jacob would suggest us getting: ships, his fleet were a big no no. So instead, Sam and I suggested us getting his supply of building mineral, the naquada, and a surplus in training and real weaponry, that he approved of.'."
" 'The one draw back to this idea was we had to get stuck in the system to get the coordinates to the planet, so he could download it into their hataks. The IOA apprved it and as did the joint chiefs, as we chose to take along SG-3. Which was Makepeace and John's team at the time, as the duo saw. That, once again, I could get results by us doing an obstacle course instead at the time here.'."
" 'Which was their policy of stealing from others, which was not neded at the time, we had the weapons already at our disposal and taking it to Jack. He agreed that this was well worth the risk at the time, sure we get zapped. And stuck in the system for a few days, but so what, we needed supplies. To build our army, as human Jaffa and Cronus also agreed this was a very good idea.'."
" 'But as always, the NID and Makepeace never considered the easy way and started stealing from our allies ever since. So Sam and I decided that we had the goods already at our disposal at the time. Being human Jaffa became a severe benefit now as a result and recommended. To the Tok'ra and Jacob, that going on this mission was for the best, to them and to Hammond right now.'."
"'In the words of the keeper 'there could be no pleasure of the gain if there is no risk from the journey.'. To find it, we had to get to planet 10, so we risked getting zapped, before we came back and gathered a few billion dollars. When in equipment and building supplies, if you crashlanded on the starting planet. Said designated 779, then you know you're in the test till you complete it.'."
"If you are younger then us and found this message, then you saw our mistakes in the original timeline and went to correcting them. From here though, you had the easy part, the situation gets harder from here now. So if you have your ship sending you supplies, match them according to the planetary setting. And watch each other's back starting now, the guys in Nova, NID in adulthood now.'."
"They got an obsession with being the best of the best as they see that trying to show off is not getting them seen by Carter and Kerrigan, or in your century. If you were doing this by bringing everything up from the planets, Brand now. Or just by Picard, Landry and Hammond or the joint chiefs as adults now. They hate being shown up by the scientists, the ones way stronger then they are."
" 'Discovering the secret on planet five, which was what we came to call Paradise Lost, we packed our own food and water. And never went near the fruit on the planet, we also went to supply swaps with the referee. And switched out the equipment we didn't need anymore for the stuff we did. As our team medical technician did the catch of getting us the nectar needed.'."
" 'We fixed what problems were needed and Sam and I lead the team together to prevent a repeater that week. My students, Cubs, just trust me, if your team mate is a jaffa or a android, let them take the books of Ra. The strain on your body, if you're human, is so immense if you, yourself, take it. Then, like the ancient knowledge, it could drain you completely, let the Jaffa team mate.'."
" 'Or your Android team mate take it for you as you recover from what injuries you took at the time here. Take your time, just relax, you don't find the answer you're looking for, just sit down and relax. Good luck and godspeed, take care of yourselves and you will know what to do. Look at the problem carefully and this portion of your exercise.'." he read out and nodded as he looked down at that gently.
Watching the trio exchange looks they nodded sternly as he said it to that. "Well if that tells us anything it's that once again Derek and Colin are beyond frustrated we and our version of SG-1 pulled it off, but the keeper was right. There could be no pleasure from the gain, if there was no risk of the journey. And Jackson once again showed up the duo's heroes, we respect Riker, Picard and SG-1."
"But they got results done right all that time." Jake said to him and he nodded in agreement to that remark as he answered him gently at that. "Yeah and we're a younger version to SGA-1 and Brad, Sarah, Jason and Dana, might as well put that to use right now. This is our activation mission so we put our bonds to the test right now startying now, they know everything about each other."
"So time we did it as well." he said and they nodded as they clapped their hands on each other, as that sealed their bond then as they prepared for a very long ordeal then, as it tested their bonds. "Well that helps now, we were trying to figure out the reason he hated J.J. and now we get it at the moment. The computer never gave full details on their records, but maybe you could fill it in?" Will asked and the trio nodded to him.
"Was his little holodeck double Shanks really what Jackson sounded like?" Hanson asked trying to block out what he just heard and the trio nodded sternly that what. "Yes it was, and we know you're trying to fight off what you just heard, to you it's in reverse. O'neill is straight and Daniel is crazy, but how do you explain your arrest to us?" Hammond asked, as an image of him appeared with the security teams restraining him then.
"There is no excuse for this, as he caught you in your lies, but that is just a cruel rumor, this was a proof positive to every adult on the ship. But at the moment the truth comes out now." Landry said sternly and at that as they watched it. "What?!" Hanson said in shock and Jenson crossed his arms. "He means they are going to see what got Colin thrown off the ship when I arrested him for DWI, which in their generation now."
"Stands for driving while intoxicated and it was a felony in their time, he wasn't even supposed to be on duty up at the time that day. But exposing the fact he was at the conn, and drunk, he blew his advanced training here on this ship. And this is what started it for him." Geordi said sternly and they paled at that news as they watched it then. "Computer, put in our conversations as well." Goldberg added and it activated on that.
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. "I heard the same thing commander, but it seems like we had more than one. In sudden outbursts 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.
"Yeah it's the same for the middle schoolers Commander, we had two fights in the junior high program, and three more in the high school. But two last night, two this morning, and six breaking out in ten hours. That's not normal right now, I mean, when we don't have government officials on board. Things are not quite this tense, but it seems like the tempers are frayed more then normal."
"Though I think the only ones noticing this are in the engineering and science departments. If Counselor Troi has had 10 people telling her this in the side of 48 hours since the ambassador and his entourage arrived on board the ship." Wilcox added and he nodded. "And I'm not surprised you picked up on that yourself Billy, you're just like me regarding this." Wesley said and Geordi 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. "Extended issues in the conversations, we were discussing this when he showed us what really happened that night. Being his assistant coach in training came in handy, so if Will wasn't around, then I took charge here."
"That was why I was in the room with him and 3/4's of our team with us, in case what happened 10 times here, happened again." Jenson said to the sextet and they nodded. "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 quoting it, and the sextet 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 as he answered that. "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. "I take this debate we're going to hear is the same as what Sam told us what happened after some loser insulted Daniel. And because she just humiliated him for beating him in a couple rounds of pool right now?" Hammond asked and they nodded to him as the crew exchanged annoyed looks as he repeated 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." Geordi said to her and they nodded as they watched the debate. "That's the right hook to the jaw remark?" Landry asked and he nodded to him gently.
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. "There's the catch case right between us, we're beyond close as a result here."
"But next to Geordi, Miles and I know him best and to us he knows we can defend ourselves. But attacking us when our backs our turned doesn't help his case right now." Jenson said and they nodded to that in agreement. "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 ti that remark.
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. "Extra issues and this is one of the areas I had to act like the Commander and head it off." he said and the group nodded 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 firmly as he watched. "Aw crap, not again, here we go again, alright you kids stay over here." he told them and they nodded to him at that as he walked over then.
"Hey, hey, guys, is there some kind of problem here?" he asked with a firm, but careful tone in his voice and O'Brien answered him without taking his eyes off the man he was arguing with as he said it then. "Under normal circumstances here things were slightly relaxed at the time when I'm not dealing with repeated explosions. But that day I was beyond irritated and made the mistake of injecting it into a fight with a friend."
"That afternoon like Wes told you we had two explosions and a fight break out in class, but what wasn't said was the said fight was in my lab. And Jake had to prevent the explosion from hurting anyone and then told me these guys are speedballing. But that explains this right now Sirs, I was so irritated at my troublesome students. That it got injected into the fight with Miles." Ben Fieldman told them and they all nodded to him.
"Great, us Golds and Blues get along fine, but repeated acts in explosions are one thing enough to add on to the annoyance. But then we got a Vulcan suffering the race's version to alzheimers and it turns into a minefield at the moment." Beverly said and both teams noded in agreement to that as they heard his compromise. "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 they sighed in relief. "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 as the group saw Wesley. As he was watching the sextet carefully as Geordi walked up to him as Wilcox nodded to him then.
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.
"Wes read my direct thoughts out loud after Worf told me what the heck was the reason for why he put D'mato on report the night before at the moment. But we normally never saw things this tense or the tempers this frayed on the ship lately." Will told them and the group of Admirals nodded. "Hey guys, group meeting, come on." he said and the sextet walked over. "What's up Wes?" he asked and Wesley explained that to him.
"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 as O'Brien answered him as the sextet exchanged looks at that information.
"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 as he explained that. "It started with Ensign D'Amato and he got into a vocal altercation with Worf. And Worf put him on report, for insubordination, as a result of the first 10 hours after Sarek arrived."
"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 as she answered that remark.
"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, echoing it. "Yeah and it's because with they're being inebriated and on drugs, the psychosis was getting worse. And by the minute around here at the time, but it's the added act of jealousy right now."
"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 at the current moment here."
"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, I mean things are fine around here until Sarek arrived last night?" he said and they nodded as they exchanged looks at this.
As 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 to him.
"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. "Yeah and that's not if the said someone is not just suffering from whatever this..., damn it, alright, alright. Sarek, if he was human, or just a humanoid would be a Betazoid. As they get older they start losing control of their telepathy and empathy, and it starts jumping on to humans at random."
"I don't know the name of that disease, because I never looked it up in biology, but it's the Vulcan version of Addison's disease before we cured that. But if I know anything it's this, that the ones either losing their tempers or are getting violent have too much pressure on their shoulders. Or they are suffering from substance abuse and I think that explains Hanson if he got into it with Jake."
"But in the side of two days we had ten to twenty outbursts of violence or vocal fights. 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. " Jake told me Hanson was taking drugs, and possibly speedballing at the current moment right now Dave, as are Eric Jacobs and Tony Farley." he said and Jenson nodded. "What are they taking if he told you that exactly honey?" Barnfield asked gently and he sighed as he answered her at that.
"Same as our 20th century counterparts and I doubt Lieutenant Walters knows this, right now as well. But if this is what could be considered a total burnout right now, because if they're trying to get noticed by the captain or the commander. They're going about the wrong way to do it, it's not based on muscles or fast thinking, its careful strategy and knowing your opponent."
"You've been telling me that for two years and I'm on the edge of earning my uniform. And it's a result of simply not showing off, careful strategy and thinking your way out of the box. You always told me to look before you leap and so far my ideas have resulted in pulling us out of the fire, one being what started this at the time." he said and Shimoda and MacDougal nodded to that.
"Yes and in your case we've seen that so long, but then we're just like you and with that in mind. It's these kids are pushing so hard they're going to put themselves on medical suspension if this keeps up right now at the moment. Whatever this is, is about to result in, if this continues and we don't figure this out, a riot next, if they lose their tempers." Geordi said to him and he nodded.
"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 Commander. But I'd say this is the say as the psychosis regarding they're not seeing my bonds with you as anything but what they think it is right now. And to them the psychosis is I'm showing off to you to get special treatment at the moment."
"But then I'm not the one taking drugs trying to cross lines in the eyes of a veteran and to him and you. You all know what that truth regarding my parents and the captain is. But remember what you told me before, regarding training, even though you needed back up when we had Roga on board. But 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, everything I studied in history class on all the past ships named enterprise."
"But the situation regarding the Polywater virus took three things here at the time and with it. It took my real experience at doing this under pressure, 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 at the moment."
"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. But you took to the job so easily that you know what they wanted and whatever project you have been cooking up is another example. But I'd consider this obsession a case of a health violation and physical burn out 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. 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.
As Geordi said it for all them as he answered him to that remark. "Alright again be on watch and ready for whatever's coming next at the moment though this keeps up we may have to arrest them 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 sharply 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. If she was still alive, I don't doubt she'd take them apart if they attacked you out of jealousy, since you're like a brother to her."
"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 Derek, Eric or Jack in here and fast." he said and they all nodded. "Son if whatever this is causes them to flip out be ready, because we're coming to you. Though this turns into a fight, we may have to arrest these kids, because you're my student and I'm your tutor."
"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. "Best just go ahead and show us the fight he started with Wesley." Hammond said and they nodded to him. "As striking a child is considered conduct unbecoming." Landry said and Picard nodded sternly then.
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. At the moment in here, did you forget we have a regime to follow at the current moment. And this breaks that regime, 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.
"Aw god, I've seen that look on one too many patients since before you guys were born at the time. But this was out of jealousy and they want the attention, of Jean Luc and Will, but this is crossing the line in health and wellness." she said as she crossed her arms as they watched, as Morrison crossed his arms as he watched the training ensign. "I assume that Joey also got busted for this?" Brand asked and they nodded to her then.
"Yes, at the moment like we said it could be Wes, Colin and Derek, Joey and Brandon or Derek's cousin and my potential recruit. And his best friend, if that is who Lefler is is to Peter's rival and nothing ever changes here. But I do not tolerate showing off." Picard said and they nodded and they knew he had more than just the Synthehol. '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. And neither will the duo, the commander was always stern about this thing. And with both me and Jake made it clear, but we'd never cross that line, dang it guys."
'Are you out of your damn minds, it's dangerous to be taking in that much and it's illegal, when on duty anyway. I'm the son of a medical doctor and Anenzi's not going to like it that they crossed the line in health.' they heard as Will answered him. "You better just say this for all of us, you and Danny are our two best commanders where training the cubs younger the 25 are concerned here, Will."
"Your top student is a premed medical student skilled in every science in the books, but these guys are drinking when on duty and when you got a government official on board. That's enough to trash their careers, but add to the fact they struck a child, a kid not even in Starfleet and said is the soon to be stepson. And of the ship leader and they're screwed right now." Morrison said and he nodded as he echoed his thoughts then.
"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, when on duty is one thing."
"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 subordinates drunk. That's enough to get them 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 in mind here, 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, the ones Josh and Billy's and and younger."
"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 at the time guys. And as it is right now, if I'd been in there, I'd have let him have it then, after he lashed out at me."
"A bit ago, but this crossed the damn line in our eyes, and you, and without needing to be told. In what to do now was attempting to prevent a fight here, as to that. But for us, it was that you and Jake, were, in my eyes you're the top students I had at the time. 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.
"If this was the self destruct for guys like Makepeace, Maybourne and Jack's cousin, then it's going to be the same for our kids younger then 30. And with it right now is we're all ranging from 21 to 57 here in ages and the captain is practically the stepfather. And to the ship CMO's only son." Sarah said and the crew nodded sternly to 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. "No kidding and you're right at the moment, the reason I take more time on the boys is because we help them. In correcting what needs to be corrected, to the ways of life in a dangerous galaxy."
"Being the best means survival here and without making sure you got all the areas covered, you could fail. Take us discussing their supplies with them, for example, when the generals arrived. Though they got it all figured in, a few gentle prods did it as they made some adjustments, created a few ideas we as adults would attempt. And they passed with a full 100% in prep work." he said and she and Will nodded in agreement.
"Just like he improvised in getting the Hathaway hyperdrive up an running, a suggestion in cheating was bent as he decided to pull an ace out of his hat. As he yanked his project out, but here and back and without even looking at what I was working on at the time. His mind was completely focused on you and your crew preparations." Burke said and Will nodded as they listened to the conversation as the Captains and Admirals waited.
"Don't tell me what to do you little smart Alec." Marks said and Wesley crossed his arms at that remark. "Yeah I wasn't bothering with sinking to his level by that point." he said and she nodded to him firmly as she said it to that. "Not that I blame you, but when it comes to dealing with this type of thing. It's turning on the stern parent mode when your superiors are 12 to 20 years older then you are."
"Which was why we have the security teams on high alert, regarding this." she said and he nodded. "No kidding, Janet was no older then you and even she never tolerated it." Hammond said to her at that. "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.
