The Bonds Of Friends And Family

Warnings: For this one, it's going over the secondary version to the Game, in which they were showing it to the members that had taken control of the Enterprise. Only this is so he can show the cast what needs to be changed and where later, so they got a way to do their own version here starting now, but from here, the focus until chapter 30 is mostly on Wesley and the crew,

And before switching back to the team, but this is not going to be a crossover story, not in the way my other story is, instead, and though the grandparents of the TNG characters are involved in the story. The story is going to be split down the middle, between one side of generation, before turning to the others and with it now, is the changes in the present are going to affect the future now.

And before they really happen, like with the trip to 1969 with Makepeace never changing and then in the next line, it's going to have him as though he was Sito after she chooses which side to side with in being an officer. So sharing the same title as the TNG stories in my other storyline, this one is focused on SG-1, as it connects his future to Atlantis, as he and Teal'C join the Atlantis contingent.

And he becomes the military leader of the Atlantis settlement, as he starts a new life there. As everything from the two time frames has ended up in their heads, as their sextet, Jacob, Landry and their fellow generals as their current selves end up in their grandchildren now as the two series come together.

Disclaimers: The characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me and every else belongs to the movie company and the creator.

Chapter 17: The Game Recap Part IX: Decoys, Danar And Reprieves

"I don't know why you even bother, he's never going to listen to you and that door locks into the entire system by a domino effect, once one activates, they all do." he said with a stern growl at that. "Either way I'm not coming out, those doors are locked into the entire system, you're stuck with taking main corridors now, starting now. If you wanted to make your job harder now, it just worked right now."

"With him involved, he just made your job even worse right now, rule 1: you want to catch your target. Leave the ones that have a connection to said target and their worst memories out of the search. Because they're only going to make your job harder than it is already and with that in mind right now. I don't care if he's not out there with you right now, so long as he's involved in the search."

"And you're compromised, it won't work, because I'm not surrendering." he said, as they watched him shaking in fear at that. "Wes, it's me, it's okay, just calm down, he's gone, we got rid of him, it's okay. But this has gone on long enough right now and at the moment you're in no condition for this." he heard from Porter gently and he quickly answered him at his remark as he fused the locks shut.

"When as yourselves it's one thing, but programmed no, and with him around, forget it, I'm not coming out, go away. If he's working for Radue, I'm not going back, and this is too much right now in addition to it. I know you're not yourselves right now and with it is the fact I know why you're trying to arrest me, but you've already screwed up three times." he said as he finished that firmly then.

"And he's just made your job even harder than it is already, because of it, so trying to get to me like this is not going to work." he said and he heard a gentle thunk on the door at that. "Well that's never going to work if we had these locks on the hatch doors, and we got one keyed into the others, so set the lock and they lock up every single one, till you got to blow the door open." Charlie said and Hammond nodded to that remark.

And as they saw Porter as he tapped on the door, as he activated the interlocks then a second time. "Yeah that's not going to work right now either, but leave him alone before you get blasted next." Frakes said in annoyance. "Son that's enough of this already, time to pull it over, before you do any further damage. Now stop already now, come on now. That's enough of this." he heard him say through the door and he shook his head.

"Porter, forget about it, I'm not surrendering and if you want me you're going to have to chase me down, because I'm not giving in right now. You think I don't know your plans, because I know you better than you know yourselves and this is not going to work. So give it your best shot guys, the games are just beginning." he said and he sighed in silent relief then as ue went further then.

"And for the record I know that's her doing to the talking in your voices, so try all you want, I'm not giving in right now. You've been programmed and that thing is never getting off this ship. I know you better than you know yourselves in training. But you're forgetting several things in training and you arrived after the catalyst for the decoys was here." he said as Greyson crossed his arms then.

"So tell Greyson to work harder in trying to remember that catalyst." he added as he knew the man had tried to head off his escaping through the tunnels as he went up two decks. "Wes, Wesley answer me, come on." he heard from the other man gently then as he heard a thunk against the door he was standing at and knew that the man was ticked off. "Damn it, what now?" they heard Davidson say and Porter sighed.

"Report to Greyson, he's not going to like this, of the six of us, he took it seriously with him during training. And MacGregor just screwed up our search so badly we lost one way to catch him and have to do this the hard way." he said and Davidson nodded as they walked back to the quartet as Greyson sat up as he looked at the trio sitting on the floor next to him then as he said it then with a bemused look.

"Nice touch on decoys, but I wasn't expecting the system to start going on and off like that, you alright?" he asked and the trio all nodded as Porter answered him at the question gently. "That wasn't a mistake he did that on purpose, to make this game more interesting right now. Commander, we lost him, he's gone into the entry tubes and I have no clue where he's coming out next right now."

"Bates, I just missed catching him as he was going into the entry tubes, where he's heading to next, get ready." Porter told him and knew they nodded. "Anything else right now at the moment?" Greyson asked him and he nodded a sigh as he said it. "We've got to get MacGregor out of the search, because the second he heard his voice he panicked and locked the door into the entry tunnels."

"Hearing mine was enough to calm him down, but he's still not surrendering right now. I got into conversation with him through the door and he locked that door and fused the interlocks shut from his side of the door. So no getting into the entry tube tunnels, and I think that's how he's getting around right now without being seen at the moment, as to why right now."

"He's using the access tunnels to get around right now, but whatever this is, it's got a repeated pattern running through it at the moment. And with that his tone was that of a teenage scientist, he's not giving up right at the moment lieutenant. So we had our chance to catch him, before he escaped and locked the door, but that's one spot blocked, so no getting into the tunnels."

"Though I don't doubt this is about to get worse, his tone sounded worn out and with it, it's going on 1130 hours at night and he's running on fumes right now. That maybe our chance to catch him now, because he's going to give into his hunger and make an appearance and when he does that's our window." The guard's team mate said and he knew he nodded as he hid a smile.

"Computer activate the cascade fields at thirty second intervals, to point them in the direction of my decoy and deprogramming spots." Wesley said as he heard Peterson answer him in annoyed. "Guess again with Macgregor it switched directions." Will said to that. "Whatever it might be, I don't doubt if he deactivated the field then he's about..." They heard as he heard a buzz followed by a pained shout.

"Ow, damn it, what the hell, alright young man, that's enough of this already!" he heard from Peterson. "The stupid fool possessing me ending up walking right into the cascade field after he turned it on." Peterson said and the sextet nodded. "What happened Ensign Peterson?" Greyson asked and he heard it gently, hearing the gentle, but annoyed answer as Eric Porter's team mate answered him as he said it.

"I just ran into the forcefield, I'm not getting further than five steps, and it's because they're deactivating and reactivating every few seconds. He's got it on a certain delay just to keep us busy right now and I think it's part of his plan. Anybody else getting stopped repeatedly here, with the forcefield going on and off right now?" Peterson called back over the radio and the trio exchanged looks.

"What the hell, alright young man that's enough of this already, just pull it over and give it up!" he heard from Greyson as he said it. "Can't do that, we ordered him to ignore us if this ever happens so your wasting your breath. He's never going to listen to you." Bates said in response to that. "Sirs, he's screwing around with the forcefield we're stuck and whatever he's trying to do it's getting out of hand here."

"I think this is to..., he's pointing us in the direction of his latest distractions right now, Commander." he heard from the first team leader and then heard Greyson answer him. "Bates you check the second, I've got the third one, Porter you've got the first one. I've got a feeling this is part of his attempt to keep us busy now with him now out of reach and those tunnels are like a maze."

"So trying to find him is next to impossible without the communicator right now. Though at the rate this is gong if he's still working on the sextet to break the conditioning, it's we're next along with the engine crew team he's friends with. But it's I'm making sure if I find him he doesn't get hurt or hurt himself if the, whatever injury it is, lays him out finally." he heard from Greyson then gently.

As he exchanged looks with his double as he said it then. "Too late and with the fact I'm back to normal here, this happens again now. And I'm going to kill Macgregor for interfering, as Jack and I have known you longest. We each took turns at the test with you and it took less then 2 weeks as we realized. Now, that our bonds are so strong, we know you better then she does." Greyson said then as they watched it.

As Wesley went to Danar's strategy of playing with the Jeffries tube terminals and leave a phaser in two of the three as he reached the first. And checked the time then as he activated the simulated over load on the first and moved forward. As he went to the second and checked that one and left a second in it, before he reached the third. And stopped for ten minutes as he started playing with the system's then and smiled.

As he moved forward and checked the terminal he sighed in relief. 'It's been ninety minutes, we just have to keep this up a little longer now.' he thought as he fiddled with the terminal and placed a phaser inside it and then left as he walked further up. As he waited for the call back. "And so far you're doing great right now kiddo nice thinking, just taking it slow, this is exactly the way the captain and I wanted you to do this."

"You're just thinking out your moves, but thinking it through, and your strategy works better then guys like Jack. But he will triumph who knows knows when to fight, and when not to fight." Will said smiling, as the report came through the radio. "Sirs I found the next decoy, this one is focused on when you and him. You were in a fencing match captain, you're both in the fencing gear and from the looks of here."

"Looks like the two of you, but you're in a fencing tournament you set up at the time and the quartet were in the room with you and him, watching as you were sparring. But the look on your face was happiness at his ability at a skill you both loved and a proud mentor look. I'm seeing the proud look in your eyes as you're watching him spar with whoever was in the third fencing uniform."

"And before you swapped places with the person he was fighting." Jack Bates said and he heard a sigh at that as Picard answered him. "Just before he left for the academy, he started joining me in there as we started fencing at the time and this became a regular routine for us when he was sixteen." he said and Wesley heard the pain in his tone at that as he heard another voice answer him.

"Well ours happens to be his graduation party when you promoted him, Captain. This may have been just before he graduated and left for the academy." Porter said and as they watched as Will ran his hand through his hair as he went for the next question gently. "What's the third exactly, because if he's got these images flashing up in the holodecks and the gym, and he's done the four of us."

"Alright, so that leaves Counselor Troi and Dr. Crusher?" he asked and Greyson said it with a touch of concern as he answered him and he knew this was going to do it."It's an alternating image of him with his mother and him. And one of a man that looks like an older version of him and he looks like he's five years old and they're on a camping trip, possibly in Canada or Alaska on earth."

"And the other was when he was with Counselor Troi after her son was born. But that's all of you right now Commander. Every decoy is trying to flash up either good memories or the ones that hurt the most right now, Sir. Whatever reason for this is, is enough he's acting like a psychologist in deprogramming and choosing these things." he said and he knew Will nodded as he answered him.

"Alright if he's trying to force us into remembering these things, it's clear that's he's not only very rational, it's he's trying to get to us and break down our composure right now. Indoctrination deprogramming and he's bringing back every memory he can think of that hitting us this hard. But at the moment if he's completely focused, than he's not letting us catch him till the last minute."

"Of whatever plan he has in mind here, because he's going by stealth he's also not showing up on the heat sensors either. And with that is hiding in plain sight at the moment but if he's hanging around he's got to show himself soon enough. And when he does keep him from going anywhere else, because that cocktail isn't going to last much longer and he's going to collapse."

"But if this has a pattern to it we have to find it, and before he gets anymore reckless than this in his behavior now as well." he said to them and he hid a smile at that. "You call that reckless, we call thinking it out right now at the moment here, but continuing to have us fight the therapy in this. It's only going to make my son more determined to stop you right now." O'brien said in response and Wesley hid a smile.

"And technically I did become a son to all of you guys as a result right now, but to you, you know me better then anyone. And I'm the acting older brother to Molly right now as a result, I'm protecting my sister." he said and O'brien nodded smiling at him. 'Alright time to back track to throw them off my trail.' he thought as he suddenly heard the announcement over his tricorder then as he thought it with an amused look at this.

'This is getting ridiculous right now, alright time to double back and check on them, before I head for the cargo bay now.' he thought smiling as he went further up and heard the conversation as he heard the aggravation in Geordi's voice. "Sir, I just detected another pulse in his trail, it's coming from JP-5, Section C. I think he's going into the Jeffries tubes." he heard and they exchanged looks at the news at that.

"Hey Bev where are we in the storyline right now?" Bernard asked as he and the other parents involved in Aldea all walked into the room. "So that's Harry huh, so we got him correct as well?" Frakes asked and he nodded to him. "That's the sextet from the mission to Aldea, but we became close, so whenever on shore leave, Wes took the sextet and Jake had the next group connected to them." Beverly said to him and he nodded to her gently.

"It's ending up on the chase with Danar and it's just landed itself in Cargobay 6. Just before we hit him with anesthezine, right now and Worf got the drop on him, before he escaped Harry." she said and he nodded as they sat down at the table as they listened to Will's remark to Bates at that. "Well that should be real good right now in this case." Stewart said with a chuckle at that news and Will nodded smiling as they heard.

"Alright Lieutenant Bates, you and your team precede there and let me know what you find." Will said to him in response then and hid a smile as he headed for the cargobay and started screwing around in there. Just before he got the response he wanted, knowing this was getting them closer and closer to it. "Well cargobay 6, that's Danar when I went to arrest him, before he escaped." Worf said and he nodded gently.

"Terminal activity, cargo bay 6 on deck 15." Geordi said and he knew Picard nodded. "He's doubled back on us right now, captain!" Will said to him over the radio and he smiled at the reaction. "Cargo bay 6, he's doubled back to the cargo bays, he's trying to get out that way. Lieutenant Greyson you and your team head for Cargo bay 6." he said and heard Greyson answer him at that remark gently.

"Aye Sir, we're on our way." he said and then heard Geordi's remark at the fact he slipped by them that many times then as he said it. "If he was trying to pull an attack from JP-5. He's likely to come out somewhere, but at the moment he's getting reckless right now at the moment Captain. I don't believe this, he's bouncing from spot to spot here, and is keeping this going in circles."

"Sir, if he's getting this reckless in his actions, we're going to have to knock him out now, Captain Picard. Because we're coming up on 1 hour and 45 minutes and that possible cocktail is not going to last longer than three hours if this keeps up. We have to end this before he collapses out of exhaustion right now." he heard Geordi say and Picard watched his double nod as he answered him as he said it.

"Come on, how many indicators is going to take to get the memory to come forward right now, because this is getting ridiculous right no. But we had 8 so far, but come on, the memory has to come forward now." Levar said to that and he nodded as they exchanged annoyed looks then. "Like you said, how many indicators is it going to take, before we remember this right now, because this is getting ridiculous.

"But Danar ended up on Deck 6, Worf and Addams tried to arrest him and we find the phaser in that turbolift. But Turbolift 5, Deck 6, Transporter room 4, Carbobay 6, T-95 Terminal 3 and now this. Come on enough already, the memory has to come forward now." Picard said bemused as his double said it then as they heard the next remark to that news as they heard her say it through Picard.

"Alright we're going to sedation here right now, flood the room with anesthezine." he heard Picard say and he quickly pulled on a pressure suit and mask at that as he saw the gas come pouring into the room. "Jeez, alright this really did turn into a repeat now, come on, we ought to remember this now. This is turning into one many too close calls right now at the moment, you've tried ten times to catch him."

"Etana, you're never going to win, he remembers everything, regarding Roga Danar and so this game is not ending yet right now. You're not catching him that quickly Captain, the games aren't over yet right now." Will said in answer to that as Wesley repeated that with him and his recorded self then as he responded to that quickly. "Jeez, alright this really did turn into a repeat now, come on, you ought to remember this now."

"This is turning into one many too close calls right now at the moment, you've tried ten times to catch me. Etana, you're never going to win, I remember everything, regarding Roga Danar and so this game is not ending yet right now. You're not catching me that quickly Captain, the games aren't over yet right now." he said quietly to that as he pulled pressure suit on and waited for it to air out.

As he waited for the sedative to air out of the room he heard Picard say it then. "Security team, move in now." he said and he quickly hid under a pile of boxes in the room and waited quietly. "Sir there's no one in here right now. We've been decoyed again." he heard the guard say. 'Porter, alright that's two, that just leaves Bates, come on guys, you know this, if I'm not standing in plain sight."

"Then I have to be hiding underneath something.' they heard gently as he tried to keep from laughing. "Wait hold it captain, there is a missing pressure suit here." Porter said and Picard repeated that. "Pressure suit?" he said as Dayton smiled as he said it then. "Could be he's attempting to make it to shuttlebay two from outside the Enterprise, bypassing the security guards." he said in response to that gently.

"Good point, alright Lieutenant Greyson, post security guards on all emergency air locks on decks 37 through 39." Picard told him and Greyson nodded. "Aye Sir, and I'll also cover the proton torpedo launchers, Crusher may attempt to leave the ship that way." he said and the door shut at that, as Wesley moved out from under the pile he was hiding in and then did a swift scan of the room and Worf smiled at that.

"Good, that's very wise, Danar never bothered to check to see if I was still in there and I got the drop in him." he said and Wesley smiled. "Alright pull yourself together, because I know you're enjoying her frustration at this. But you never know if one of us was waiting for you to make a mistake." Greyson added to him gently at that as he waited, before hearing the door shut as he got up and moved to the terminal to finish up.

As he stood up he heard a false explosion and smiled. "Explosion in Jeffries tube T-95!" he heard Picard call out and he could hear the anger in his voice then. "Security check the transmitter in that tube right now." he heard as the lights went out then as he heard someone running and fifteen minutes later he heard a sigh of relief. "That's a negative explosion, captain, repeat negative explosion in tube tunnel T-95."

"It's another decoy attempt, that phaser was on the simulated overload, same as the last one and the Anbo Jysitsu staffs in the gym. It's meant to lead us away from wherever he's hiding right now." he heard the man say to him then and he heard a sigh of agonized relief at that as he heard the programmed voice of his captain say it in relief, but firmness at that, his tone turning stern as he said it.

"Alright that's enough of this already, you find him, and make sure he can't get try anything else. Because we're coming up on 1145 hours and at the rate this is going. If he never got the chance to eat anything he's going to be running on fumes right now, and is going to slip up. So the minute he does and you hear any noise from where he's hiding, catch him." he heard from Picard at the news.

"Thank god for my survival training, I was hiding beneath bushes, up in trees or just in caves the entire time the thirteen were looking for me during the stealth test last year. And that training is coming along nicely now, though..., I should have have had the chance to create my survival kits. If this goes on longer than necessary, and hopefully it doesn't last longer then the entire three days."

"As we talked about at the moment, or by the time they do come after me, I won't be able to focus anymore after that. Though if that's her next plan they're tracing back the route I took in this one and it's making sure I never get off the ship now. But if you want to go two out of three, just give it your best shot Etana, because you're never going to win this." he said softly at that response.

"And not when they're themselves, they know me way too well here." he said with a sigh as he finished. "Well Worf definitely forgot this, otherwise he'd be in the room when I did this now, but he forgot this now." He said, as he rewired it, put his next phaser into it, activated the transporter and teleported out of the room. 'Well psyche outs, disappearing acts, decoy attempts and three other things.'

"This keeps up and she's getting a bit too desperate to catch me now at the moment." They heard him thinking as he ended up in the tubes, before back tracking a third time to the engine room as he listened to the conversation. As he listened to the next report and Will nodded smiling. "Terminal activity, cargo bay 6 on deck 15." he heard from Geordi followed by Picard's immediate response to that remark.

"Security teams precede to deck six cargobay." he said and they waited, before they heard an aggravated sigh."We've been decoyed again and I just found a phaser sitting inside this terminal. Whatever this pattern is, its turning into a scavenger hunt and it's getting annoying right now, Sirs." they heard from Greyson and they exchanged annoyed looks at that remark as Robin said it to that.

"This was her junior recruit thinking this right now, but after this lasted this long, she was shocked we hadn't found or that he was this good." she said and Picard nodded to her smiling gently at that remark. "I don't believe this, he should have been asleep when we did that!" he heard from Robin and they sighed as Will answered her at that. "There's a box of environmental protection suits in the middle of the room."

"He must have put one on." he told her as he hid a smile. 'Alright time to tie this up, I've just got to leave a trail of breadcrumbs here and let them get so aggravated that the chess game hasn't ended.' he thought as he moved up one deck and started playing with the controls. Left the third inside it and then headed down three halls and left the fourth, as he paused after a few minutes before moving again.

After giving it another 30 minutes he stopped finally to take a break. "This is getting ridiculous, I have no clue how long that dose is going to last, it's been nearly two hours now since I got under cover and five, since I figured it out. Lovely, in simulation, this test would be three to four hours, she just jacked it up to twice that." he said just as another spasm hit him and he fell to the floor and they nodded

As he slumped to the floor in exhaustion and pain. "No not now please not now, I can't take this right now, stop." he said through the pain as he struggled to fight through it then. "No, no damn it, not now, I can't afford this right now." he said through the pain as he remembered Will's remark. Reflecting back to the day they got the engine working and when they were all suffering from that virus.

And were in the path of a meteor, Will nodded as he echoed those same words then. "Yeah I remember that, I was standing behind you, before the virus hit me finally then, but 'No, no damn it, I can't afford to get this now.'." he said as he repeated it then as they heard Wesley's thoughts to that revelation and nodded in agreement as he sighed at that. 'I'm just like him now, I turned into a nineteen year old version of him."

'Don't worry dad, I'm doing whatever it takes now.' he thought to him softly as they then heard his voice answer him. "Its working Wesley, the conditioning in me is beginning to give, our bonds are beginning to shove their way forward. And it's the same for the quintet, I know you're exhausted at the moment, but you have to keep this up a bit longer, just hang in there son, don't quit.'

"We're almost there, but don't give up, you have to keep going now. You're still behind enemy lines, and the Calvary is coming. You just have to wait a little longer and then it'll all be over, just keep going cub. Remember everything I taught you, and it's time to push her into making the last fatal mistake. It's time to end this, just hang in there cub.' he said and Wesley nodded with a gentle sigh.

"She didn't give me enough time to prepare for this, I have no food, no water, no medical supplies, I'm not going to last without it. Dad my energy levels are being sapped, I can't keep this up. Your alter egos are blocking off every public area that is possible to get anything to sustain me. I need back up, I can't keep this up, not without someone to watch my back." he said softly as he went on then.

"I'm running on fumes right now. How am I supposed to get my recharge when she caught me in the act finally, she doesn't understand human anatomy to understand what she's seeing right now. Through your eyes, she thinks I'm on drugs, it's not drugs, I'm in caffeine withdrawal, I need that recharge, or I'm not going to make it right now." he said weakly as he sat down on the floor then.

Just to rest as they saw him shaking as he tried to control the jolt of fatigue that shot through him as he heard him answer him. "We're running out of time, he needed a reprieve, and it was heading for your apartment. Then he's going to collapse out of exhaustion if this keeps up." Anenzi said sharply to that. "Believe me, I realized that Dr. Anenzi, after he told me this over the radio, I decided we had to reset the clock in this."

"Just so he could rest and eat as he created his supplies and recharged himself then, just before Charlie and I decided he should spend the night in my quarters so he could rest." Data told him and he nodded to that. "Well I'm relieved you took charge for us, with us incapacitated." Picard said for him. 'Yes you can, you did a few times before, you can't give up now, just hang in there a little longer, son listen to me.'

'Like before when we had to deal with the knack, it forced you to keep going, but Pulaski is on her way here and Data is just about done with the cure. Just hang in there another ninety minutes and then it'll all be over. Better yet restart the clock and you can get your recharge and the supplies needed. She may not understand what it is you're doing but once we freed, we'll get the message.'

'And act accordingly regarding this, but you have to get to your quarters with sickbay in her hands. Come on son, it's okay, I know you're exhausted, but remember your training in this, if the opponent never gave you enough time to prepare, go to backs up. Sickbay is in her hands and your mother is an M.D., so what else right now, cub you have to get back to your quarters to recover.'

'Wes, if the need arises you're going to have to reset that clock on this test, you're in another version of your survival and stealth training. So with that, if they're cutting off a route to your supplies, through the main corridor as the Turbolifts are in her hands, what direction do you go now. Because you've been jumping deck floors the last five hours now?" he asked and Wesley nodded softly.

"Create a diversion and use the Jeffries tubes to get into my apartment, and create my survival kits. But if the opponent is blocking one way take a different route, but stay out of sight." he said and he heard him answer him gently. 'Yes exactly, just treat this like the game, to get past them go a different route, but don't give up, you have time to do this, hang in there son, don't quit on me."

"Just hang in there.' he heard his voice say to him softly and he nodded as he stood up then as he answered him. 'I will Sir, I will get you back, no matter what.' he said in answer to that. 'Sir I still need you, I wasn't ready to just leave home, I still need you like I always have." he said softly and he heard him answer him gently at that remark. 'Don't worry son, you're not going to lose me, just finish this."

"And then once we hear why you look like this you're staying home. I'm not leaving you, I promise cub, I promise.' his voice said softly and he nodded as he left that spot and kept moving forward as he climbed back into the shaft as he said it. "Ten forward and the lounge are out, I can't go that way and they're watching for intruders in Sickbay, I know if I go in there, I'm going to get caught."

"How am I'm going to get something to eat, I'm running on fumes here. Damn it, if I had enough time to think this out I'd have packed an emergency kit, but I don't, not right now. I need rest and food, I need a chance to rest." he said, slumping against the wall as he said it. "My survival training, the commander had me on the holodeck for a week and I was on a camping and survival mission."

In case I got stuck on a planet, but I created nearly a month's worth of supplies, medical equipment of the 20th century in first aid kits and fresh water, and stashed them in five different spots all around the holodeck. Damn it, why didn't I get enough time to do this, I could have created a supply kit. And several added batches of food, damn it, alright we have to reset the clock now."

"And it's been five hours on the go and if this is what the narrator was thinking in that story, I can relate. I need back up if I have any chance of finishing this right now, but this is getting ridiculous here right now at the moment." he thought tiredly then gently as they watched him switch channels as he got ready to speak to Data as he changed channels in his tricorder so he could call him then.

"Data how's it going in there?" he asked and he heard a relieved tone then as he answered him. "I'm done Wes, how are you right now?" he asked and Wesley sighed as he said it to him. "I'm exhausted but, I'm trying to keep them busy a little longer, if Pulaski is arriving now get ready, because they're taking back control in one hour. How long has it been, because I'm beginning to run on fumes

"Here right now, and I don't know if it's that the exhaustion just combined with the caffeine withdrawal. And the early symptoms of hypoglycemia at the moment, that I'm too exhausted to keep going right now. But I can't get caught, not now, Data during my training now at the moment, the commander. He had me on a survival training mission if I got stranded on a planet."

"And I created a kit with a week's worth of food and water, but I created six more to work that out in the holodeck, which gave me enough for three weeks during training at the time. With her just throwing this at me, I never had enough time to create my kits, food, water, medical supplies. And camping equipment, but I never had the chance to make it, tonight."

"and I'm running on fumes right now, what now, I can't go out into the open or they're going to catch me, I try to sneak into my apartment or sickbay. And it's the exact same thing, because she ordered them to arrest me the second I go in there. Whatever amount of energy I had left before I came home she's draining it all, we keep this up any longer I'm in bed for a week after this."

"If this is what the soldiers behind enemy lines had to deal with, I can sympathize right now. I'm starving and I'm exhausted, I can't keep this up, not alone, I need back up." he said and, knowing he heard the strained tone in his voice at the exertion, he heard a concerned tone at that. "The hypoglycemia is making it harder to focus, as is the fatigue, I can't do this without a recharge."

"And they're blocking my only way back to my apartment, I'm starving, I'm exhausted, whatever way I choose to do this, and he said they're blocking any conceivable route to my apartment by the main corridors. And I can't walk out there without getting caught and arrested now with the fact they've got every spot blocked, Data after this is done, you have to tell mom

I need to stay home, if I was at 3/4's strength, she's draining every ounce of energy I have. In fact, by the end of this, I'm going to have nothing left. And between this and whatever happens next if this situation isn't over by a long shot at the moment, than I'm going to be home for anywhere from six months to a year after this. But here's the low down now at the moment."

"If I have to class this it's like the narrator of the story based off that first person shooter and he got thrown into enemy lines as he going after his friend. And it's dodging the alien security patrols, and he had to improvise in this, and I'm doing the same thing too at the moment, but I'm running on fumes at the moment, but if I don't get something to eat and a chance to rest."

"I'm not going to last." he added and that did it finally then as Beverly said it for all of them. "Alright that does it, you're still in training and your body can't take this type of abuse right now. She's draining you so far down your system could impact and crash and it does. And I am going to kill her for it." Beverly snapped at that remark as she looked at Data and saw his eyes narrow in anger at the revelation then.

As he heard a furious mutter break out over the radio, he knew he was ready to kill her for putting him in the condition he was then as he answered him, as he kept his voice gentle at that. "I understand Wesley and believe me she's getting neutralized for this when we get through with her at the moment. But to answer your first question, it's been 45 minutes exactly from the time we set the computer."

"And it's been two hours since the chase began right now, Wesley stay awake. I know you're exhausted, but you have to stay awake right now we're almost there. Just hang in there, don't stop, just keep moving right now, listen to me, the side effects of that cocktail I created for you just gave out now. But to make it you need to eat and rest and give yourself the second dose,

" But you have to stay undercover." he said and Wesley sighed at that as he answered him. "Found this out the hard way, when we were training you, but back then it was training, and this time it's the real thing. And you don't have me acting like your father making sure you rest and eat right now. But you have to reset that clock you need to rest right now, kiddo, only way you can stay clear headed, if your fully charged."

"And like I said to Shelby, I want my crew fully rested so they're not battling the opponent at the same time they're battling their own fatigue right now. And you're a cadet in training of the real thing, at the moment, your body, Your body is also suffering the pangs of caffeine withdrawal and we need to drain that jolt and fix that. So one option, taking a reprieve, getting an energy bar into you."

"And a fast jolt of adrenaline, we're not robots, our bodies need rest and food to function properly." Will said firmly to remark as they heard him answer Data. "Data we have to reset the clock, I need time, because if we have any chance of pulling this off, it's when I'm clear headed and I can focus. I'm on the edge of falling asleep here, I'm also starving, without a time extension, we're not going to make it right now."

"But to put this bluntly it's in reverse of the game, that 1st person shooter now, in that storyline the narrator was only on the go for 6 to 7 hours. And his team mate was three times that and she was so exhausted that they were swapping off in shifts in that. Robin is currently incapacitated at the moment, I've been on the go even longer than she has and the added side effects, now."

"Andof whatever's in those pills just hit me again. If I don't get some real food in my body and a chance to rest for a couple hours, I'm not going to last. I've been been in recovery for just under a week since I came home, that's not enough time and she pushes me into this when I'm just beginning to recover from it. But this just went too far, I was taking it slow this entire time."

"And before this started, this is one interruption, if there's a second it's I'm home for six months to a year. But I'm not going to last much longer right now, if I don't have a chance to stop and rest." he said weakly, and hearing the exhausted tone in his voice, he quickly answered him, as he injected a gentle tone into his voice. "That is what did it for me, hearing that I had to, with my being in the medical lab."

"Right now, I needed to get him to take a break right then, so it was resetting the clock just so he could rest and get some food into his system. As well as rehydrate himself, but it was getting anything that could hinder his recovery that night out of the way." Data told the medical trio and they all nodded. "Yeah taking an 2 hour break and eating something is best now." Beverly said to him and he nodded to her.

"Wesley, Wes, stay awake, just hang in there, you're in control of the computer you have to tell it to reset the clock. Wesley focus, stay with me, listen to me, don't use the syringe, it just gave you the nutrients to last you and enough energy to pull it this far. But you have to take a break, reset the clock on the lockout, and take a break. Just head somewhere where they're not going to find you

"Bet something to eat and some gear so you can rest in the tunnels, just take the next couple hours to refresh yourself now. Go to your quarters, kill the power and cameras in there and settle so you can get something to eat and and rest for a bit for now." he said and Wesley nodded as he said it to him tiredly at that. "Yeah that's the best advice, take a two hour break." Hammond said to that remark gently.

"The tunnels are shielded, so you can be anywhere and she's never find you now. But to keep from suffering hypoglycemia, eat some something that has a lot of sugar and then use the syringe. That's going to keep you going till eat a real meal and then rest for three hours and then start a second time." Data told him and he nodded to the orders as he answered him as he said it to him.

"I have a stash of two types my favorite candy bars in my closet, and they're all king sized as well, so I can eat one of those and then use it, or just ransack mom's medical stores in our apartment and use hers. Before I load up and then..., that's it, I can go to my survival training on the holodeck, take with you only what you can carry and then return for the others later."

"And in this case it's creating caches in several spots on the ship, I just got to create the medical supplies first and then do the same order. In where I'm hiding each of them with her tied into the system. But it went from training and straight to real right now, so best to improvise at the moment." he said as he leaned forward and finished his sentence as he stood up but kept his hand on the wall.

"How long has this gone on exactly, I lost track of time, because I've gone through 6 spots to 10 spots in this and dodging the security teams. It's like dodging the monster patrols and zombies on that game. And I've been on the go for 6 hours, since the scenario started and I need a chance to rest now. But I can't stay put for long at the moment, or they're going to catch me."

"Because they yanked out the medical alert for this in order to do it, but these guys are trying several different ways. Just to find me, medical alert of an escaped patient in the eyes of a medical department. But so she can get to me next, and she's blocking off any route to the shuttles or ten forward and blocking off my only route to get something to eat."

"I can't go into the public areas or right out into open, or they're going to catch me. How am I supposed to get what I need to take a break, at the moment I'm too exhausted to think straight, and if they realized it. That I'm in the Jeffries tubes right now they're now checking them out. I'm not going to last long if they're scavenging them out I need a back door to get out of here."

"And right now." he said to him and he heard Data answer him as he said it to him. "It's been two hours since they tried to ambush you in the engine room earlier. And two more since you figured it out Wes, but with the fact you missed dinner and getting something to eat. It's time to back track now, she never gave you enough time to prepare for this, and instead you got throw feet first into this."

"But to put this in another anology of that century's games and stories, it's that you just encountered the enemy troops of the mastermind. And it's a matter of survival now and you're trying to get to exit and get off the moon, just like that story you told me about. This is the same thing, prevent the foothold from landing itself on earth, if this was the video game of that first person shooter."

"It's you're going to have to improvise and create your own supply kit, like he did, just instead of the added weapons, create a survival kit. Wesley listen to me carefully, get back to your quarters and get to the replicator, just get something to eat. And there's just enough time for you to revitalize yourself, before this switches courses, with everyone too busy in the engine room."

"Trying to break passed the interlocks, searching for you, or just trying to take back control of the computer right now, you have time. With the Jeffries tube tunnel system, you could be anywhere and they'd never find you. Remember your survival skills, think of this as your survival training if you got stranded on a planet, and go from there, so you can work this out, but stay in the tunnels."

"As the ship is the size of a small town and the holodeck was big enough for you to train in there when it came to camping and survival training, just do what you did then. Create an emergency kit and enough food and water for two days. Did your mother keep a familial medical supply of equipment while you were growing up when she was taking care of you, just before we met now."

"Because that helps?" he asked and Wesley nodded. "Yeah she did, parent a doctor, everything is in her office in our apartment at the moment in fact. What are you suggesting, that I ransack my mother's medicine cabinet. And office to create that survival kit, food and medical supplies. And act like the narrator did until 'she' arrives at the moment?" he asked and he heard him answer that gently.

"Yes that's it exactly Wes, use the supplies in your apartment however long it takes Dr. Pulaski to arrive, and we have till then to do. What with the fact it's been five hours and they're still looking for you right now, but every public area is blocked, and going out in public areas is going to get you arrested. So there's just one option left and it's by taking the scenic route to your quarters."

"And that's through the Jeffries tubes, J14-Baker breaks onto deck 8 and 9 and your apartments are all stationed there. But at the moment they're searching the main halls and every public spot for you, knowing that with your strength and energy levels draining. And by your going to have to risk making an appearance just to get supplies so they, or she, can catch you now."

"So just use that against her and head for your apartment and start creating yourself a survival kit to last you. It's midnight right now, so just create a kit and hide in the tunnels and wait it out till she shows up. I'm going to get her to join me in here in the lab, before we take the members in sickbay by surprise and then I do the same for the engine crew immediately after that."

"But before I do, I need you to get the duo out of the room and then contact us afterwards. Just head or deck 7, section 23, that's phase three and phase four is by pulling a bait and switch on her. Get the chase going a second time, and stage act once you escape custody, head for one of your caches. And get something to eat, but we have to make her think she's really got you in that."

"But for now phase two, take a break, eat and get some rest now after you do this, it's gone on four hours and that's long enough so you just take a break. And rest for now, the tunnels are shielded they're not going to find you till the they circumvent the security or till it ends by itself now. You're in JP C-3, take J14-Baker and head for your apartment, but stay away from the engine core."

"Just use the Jeffries tubes and get back to your quarters to get something to drink, just don't stop moving or they're going to catch you. Once you revitalize yourself get started a second time and let them know that things shifted. But in order for her to implicate herself, you're going to have to risk getting reckless now. Because we're insuring she winds up in jail for putting you in the E.R.."

"After this." he said and Wesley nodded to the orders as he answered him. "Yeah no kidding we do it this way and she's screwed right now, as she is driving you into the ground to catch you. And you're so exhausted you need a recharge and fast right now, before you pass out from exhaustion. And the level cleared from your system at the current moment now." Gates said to that sternly and Frakes and Stewart nodded in agreement at that.
