Chapter 25: The Game Recap Part VII: Freeing The Crew Part II

"Great, that level is strong enough to knock someone out, it's like electronic version to the use of the hypospray syringes at the current moment. And he's right, but with the tables turned at the moment it's clear that it's just turned things. And the clock to that mission four years ago and Commander MacDougal and I were trying to get in there." Will said and then finished with a sigh to that.

"Just to the get the engines back online." Will added and they nodded as he answered him. "Look, we get it, but at the moment, what levels from the adrenaline and sugar you took in are going to wear off soon enough. And I can hear the exhausted tone in your voice, even though this is in code, so it's time for this to end right now." he said gently and in answer to that there was a final one.

As he answered his remark. "Yes and at the moment you need to lower your metabolism so you can recover yourself, for me. There's no use tracking me, because all the bases are covered now, and things start again tomorrow at 0930 hours everyone. And that's when the radio silence ends so don't bother trying to turn off anything or rewire, because I've got the areas focused on that."

"Everything conected to that is on that same electric charge, also the system is on for getting something to eat. But the only orders she's taking from you from now until the timer ends are for food. So don't waste your time in trying to order her to unlock everything, because she's not going to do it. As she's been given specific orders by me, to never listen to you when programmed."

"And she's an android version of the junior crew, so a case of teenage mutiny, both in the organic and the synthetic junior crew now, starting now." he read out and he quickly answered him, as hearing the tone, he realized he was ending it at that. "Wesley, wait a minute, answer me, come on answer me." he said and when he saw no answering reply on the monitor he quickly said it to them.

"I think our conversation just ended Captain, he's not answering my comms here." he said and he heard Picard try it then. "You're wasting your time, because he's not going to answer you guys, Etana." Geordi said in response to that reaction, before he heard a sigh as Picard answered Will gently at that remark. "Well, we just have to wait for that alarm to go off, so ship wide search now, Lieutenant."

"Everyone on standby in the public areas be on your guard, in case he comes in there right now. And lieutenant, aside from him, I want you to keep an eye out for Cadet Hanson for th night. In case he tries to get involved, despite the fact we all said to stay out of this anf get to bed. You catch him and he's inebriated, arrest him and take him to sickbay." he said and he heard several affirmatives.

"The terminals in here and in the control room are blocked out and we can't use the Turbolifts doors or try to leave to room through the reactor door. And getting into the Jeffries tubes either, so we're stuck right now." MacDougal said and he looked at her. "Are we sure that the entrance into the tubes is cut off here in engineering though, Commander?" he asked and Shimoda went to check

And then sighed as he looked at him as he gave the resport. "Yeah that's affirmative Commander, the Maitenance hatches leading into the Jeffries tubes are closed and the shield is covering them as well. So no way out and everyone not on stand by in every public area or searching the halls for him. Are locked in their quarters right now at the current moment, Sir, we have food and water."

"So we just have to wait it out till the search starts again in the morning." he said and Will nodded to him as he looked at his group. "Alright, we know, once the alarm goes off where he is, so we try to trace the alarms by the direction he's taking. And I think he's turning off the A/V in every spot he's in and placing up the whatever protection there is in regarding Counselor Troi as well."

"So we just trace the alarms, and wait for the timer to end." he said and they nodded to him. 'Kiddo come on, you're in no condition for this right now, it's time to quit now. So stop already, come on now.' he said to him softly as he waited till morning for the indication of where he was as they settled in and waited till morning then, as the bridge crew did the same thing and relaxed and the group nodded to that.

"Alright from here, after I finished my conversation with Data, it goes into Data's point of view as you see how things went. And that's including Gillespie and Derek right now, but we had to arrest them both that night including whoever else lost it in sickbay that. And for a second time here regarding a near repeater in riots and breaking his rehab that night." Wesley said and the cast nodded to the news as Beverly looked at Data and Michaels then.

"Play back the entire conversation once you realized it was the trio guys, we made a pact, that pact gets broken and there is no going back." she said and they nodded as they watched as Wesley shut off Data's terminal then as he said it to him. "Alright I'm done Data, so go ahead now." Wesley said to him gently and he heard an immediate response to that from the android gently as he answered him at that.

"Wes, wait till I trigger the alarm from where I am, and then terminate any trace electronic usage from my quarters. That includes the showers in my quarters, after you take that shower, I want you to get changed. And then eat something and replicate a sleeping pill for the night. I'm going to deal with the areas that were set up, but at the moment you need to rest, you did enough."

"So it's time for you to rest and save your strength for tomorrow, so with that in mind. Wait till I got them thinking you're in the medical lab, and I just lead them in a new direction. Before you get some rest and take tonight's dose with whatever was chosen for your dinner, understand." he said and Wesley nodded to the orders softly at that as he answered him then gently at the remark.

"Aye got it, if you're waiting for me to make contact in the morning, with the first of the resistant cells now, it's 1030 hours later this morning. And they're arriving 1130, once they do that, I'm getting the codes for our wargames with the Hathaway. And it's going to completely overwhelm the sensor codes when I do so and the system's down from now til 1645 hours, repeat 1645."

"Alright." he said and he heard a firm response to that news. "Dr. Pulaski is arriving at 1130 hours later this morning, and the sensors, the internal and thermal sensors, are down until 1645 hours tomorrow after noon. Alright, my first stop is your quarters and I'm doing the engineering crew in the morning, once we get the duo out of the room." he said and Wesley nodded gently to the orders.

"Alright, get started and I'll see you tomorrow." he said and he heard a gentle tone. "You too, Wes, I'll see you in the morning." he said and they ended it at that as he looked at the cat in relief. "Well that's it for the night, Lal terminate the power on the doors, deactivate the A/V mode in here. And put up a sound proof shield all over the apartment, so they don't detect anyone in here."

"Or hear Spot if she starts meowing." he said and he saw the terminal as the lights on the door controls went out then. And the door glowing gold on his side of the door with a gentle pulse while also glowing a greenish gold. And as it combined with the empath blocking shield he put on it. "Well that's it for the night, time to take a break." he said as he pulled a clean set of pajamas out of his bag as he waited.

Till, finally, the alarm went off then at that as thry hea Picard's response to that. "Security, check the medical lab, if he's in there, there's obviously a reason for it right now. With Sickbay blocked off to him, if he changed locations after getting out of his apartment, before his apartment ended up in our hands. And again, if Cadet Hanson is wandering around the corridors, arrest him."

"And take him to sickbay." Picard said firmly and he waited for the answer, before it came five minutes later at the order. "That's a negative, repeat, that's a false alarm in med lab, he's playing with us. We're going to keep searching, but with the system down, all doors not locked out of the search right now. And that includes the android's quarters, it's going to take until the system lock out is over,

"So we're looking at 15 to 24 hours, Captain, to them all, but once thing's start again after the countdown ends we have a better shot at it but until then, it's by tracing the alarms carefully. Depending on where he heads next, but if he just left the med lab, I think he's trying to stay out of sigh. Or possibly going by Hanson's opinion of things, it's to get to go into area so he can rest and eat."

"And do it without getting caught by us right now." Robertson said and Wesley hid a smile as he sent one last message to Dayton then at that. And as he thought it to him softly at that remark then gently at that. "Charlie, after the power terminal that got blown, artificially, in the T-95 tube tunnel, it terminated the power. In connecting it to Data's apartment, Lal killed the power on her apartment."

"So tell him all rooms that contain not on duty officers are left out of the search at the moment. But that still leaves 2,500+ rooms that are not involved in the search, which, to them, with the sensors and thermal sensors down, is still enough to annoy them. And Lal is feeding the cat, so if they see a slight flunctuation coming off the showers and replicators, or just the sink."

"Well it's because there's several bugs in the system after the explosion infected the shower and replicators in here." he said and he heard an immediate response to bridge, engineering and security crew at that remark as he went over it then. "Sirs, I did some swift scans after the simulated explosions in T-95, a bit ago, seems that it terminated the power in certain situations areas of the ship."

"And one of said area that it did was is in the android's quarters, causing the equipment to go berserk in there. And our A.I., she also terminated the power in his quarters and is dealing with taking care of the cat. And with him disabled right now at the current moment, so she's dealing with his cat right now." he said to that remark then as they exchanged looks at this conversation then gently.

"Lal, turn off camera control: audio/visual back to engineering." Picard said and the light went off a second time as he said it to Wesley. "Alright we're good to go son, you get some rest, I'll see you tomorrow night." he said and knew Wesley nodded. "Night mom, night dad, guys, see you in tomorrow, sleep good." he read out, and they smiled. "You too baby, sleep good." Beverly and Deanna said together.

"Issues in being a parent, your own cubs get territorial with you right now, and this is him, when he's acting like this, after one of us suffered a trauma." Beverly said and the cast nodded to that remark. "Not just a trauma for him, but one for us as well and a result, it's like being a host, till we get the damn thing out of us, and they're doing that tomorrow night." Frakes said in response to that as they listened to his conversation.

"But as a result of the explosion, the bugs in the system are erratic at the current moment, and to the point it's screwing with the replicator. And his shower, so if we have a sudden equipment use in there, it's because of several bugs in the system, thanks to the simulated explosion. Though at the moment, if what he told us was true regarding several leftover shards in that shaft."

"And despite a very fresh surgery, it's clear why he headed for the med lab with sickbay now in our hands and us blocking off his apartment." he said and he watched Picard nod as he answered him. "What's the said reason exactly?" he asked him and he explained that to him. "So he could take a shower and get into some clean clothes as he recovers from the adrenaline come down and sugar crash."

"So I think after he left the lab he decided to bunk somewhere for the night, as this trip to the lab was for a secondary dose in the general stimulate cocktail. Before he replicated another candy bar or something, before he gets into where he's sleeping for the night." he said and Wesley hid a smile at his idea as he heard Will answer him gently at his analysis of the situation then as he said it to him.

"Alright, so what do you suggest right now, Ensign?" he asked and Dayton explained that as Wesley hid a smile as he went further then as he said it to him gently at that remark then. "With all personnel not involved in the search, those rooms are left out of it. So of 5,000+ places to hide, half of those, including the android's quarters, are left out of the equation, as the doors are all locked."

"But half that number would take 10 to 15 hours to search until the clock on that timer ends by that point. So we just leave the rooms set for in case he decides to go in there, or decides to head back to his quarters now. But keep a few medic's in al public areas with with guards and everyone else in there." he said and Wesley knew they nodded to that as he said it for all of them at that.

"Alright everyone stay put in the areas they're in, and be on the alert, all rooms not involved in the search. Dr. Anenzi, I want you to dispatch three medic's, each, to all public areas, but stay on your guard in case he comes in there. But all public areas be on the look out for both him and Cadet Hanson right now. Or Hanson's friends if they decide to get involved, I want them out of the search."

"And that's including the areas we have set up, but all areas that are locked are left out of the search for the night. And the android's quarters and all personnel, take them out the equation, lieutenant. So until the timer ends, it's doing a manual systematic search of every room, so it's going to be a very long 15 hours now." Picard said and he knew they nodded then as they ended it at that.

As that ended the radio messages and he relaxed completely as he headed for Data's bathroom stripped the blood stained trousers and shirt and started showering. Before he towered himself dry, and put his p.j.'s on. "Lal, I need a fresh set of that same set of clothes for tomorrow when we get started a second time." he said and a minute later a copy of that same set of clothes appeared on the desk and he smiled.

"One sleeping pill, of 15mg's please." he said and it appeared on the table then next to the bed, as he grabbed the bag, opened it and took out one of the ones marked for dinner. Opening he saw a meatloaf, mashed potatoes that had a three cheese blend, and several of his favorite vegetables with Italian seasoning. And in the fourth spot had five of his favorite cookies, and he smiled as he pulled a bottle of water out then.

"Nice choice at the moment, I have several favorite foods and this happens to be one of them, and I know I said several mixtures of my favorite types food combinations. And this is a nice choice for the first, how long do these have they're until unusable though?" he asked and she said it softly. "You ended up creating close to three months worth of food here but each bag held 5 days worth."

"And of food, snacks, water and medical supplies with you camping on the holodeck for a week right now. Before switching to our bonding test and that lasted another three weeks, and in each of our cases here." Will said in relief as he waited for the answer, before she answered him. "Shelf life for these is for a 6 weeks, but this first portion is just a preparation, if we get boarded for whatever reason now."

"So at the moment and until we finish the added trouble regarding your squadron at the academy. If we get boarded a second time, it's not just you five, but whoever gets involved as well later on. So this is preparation for that right now." she said and he nodded as he dug into, before he smiled as he said it to her. "Well this is just as good as my mother's cooking Lal, really good in fact."

"Whatever's for breakfast in the morning I can find out then, but right now I need to rest and take care of my hunger right now." he said as he did several bites of a different combinations while eating. Once the main course was done, he ate the cookies, and saw a bottle of milk and nodded as he dug into the cookies. And drank the milk, he took the sleeping pill and vitamins and got into bed as he said it to her at that.

As he activated the computer and turned it onto something then. "Lal could you show me what he was watching then, because we never reviewed this episode. Just before we did this so far at the moment." Will said and a minute later it activated on the second screen and they saw him viewing the episode and watched him reach the first decoy. And they nodded as he shook his head at that and they chuckled as he said it it to her.

"Lal, from the time we caught her in the act regarding the game and her us in the act of faking in the act to now, how many hours has it been right now?" he asked and she explained that. "It's been 8 hours since your mission began, but from time duration, I estimate they had the time limit on only 5 hours. and not however long it will be." she said and he nodded as he ended it at that news.

"Lights out now, Lal, I'll see you in the morning." he said and she answered with a gentle smile in her tone. "Good night Wes, pleasant dreams." She said and he laid back as the cat looked at him softly. "Yeah you can, come on." he said and she gave a mew as she curled up next to him as he stroked her fur and her gentle purring lulled him to sleep, as Lal watched him gently from the computer as they waited till morning then

"Alright here we go this should be intersting right now, because we didn't know he got you back on line by then." Whoopi said as they saw the words The Crusher's Apartment, Sickbay And Ten Forward-Data's POV, appear on the view screen. And they nodded as they watched him as he was leaving the lab. As he heard the automatic alarm come over the radio, as he heard Picard call it out then, as he waited patiently.

As he left the room and hid in the room across from the lab as the programmed tone to his commander sounded out, before thry heard a firm tone to this. 'Etana you're never going near my student, if I say anything about it. We trained that child so well, you're never going to win this, and you're just assuming I'm still deactivated. That you're going to get that game off the ship is your biggest flaw right now."

"Just because you're reading the route through the people you took control of. Doesn't mean you're going to win this match between us and your race, your over confidence is your weakness.' They heard him thinking firmly as he heard her say it through Picard. "Security, check the medical lab, if he's in there, there's obviously a reason for it right now, with Sickbay blocked off to him."

"If he changed locations after getting out of his apartment, before his apartment ended up in our hands. And again, if Cadet Hanson is wandering around the corridors, arrest him and take him to sickbay." Picard said firmly and he waited for the answer, before it came five minutes later then. "That's a negative, repeat, that's a false alarm in med lab, he's playing with us."

"We're going to keep searching, but with the system down, all doors not locked out of the search right now. And that includes the android's quarters, it's going to take until the system lock out is over, so we're looking at 15 to 24 hours, Captain, to them all. But once thing's start again after the countdown ends we have a better shot at it but until then, it's by tracing the alarms carefully."

"Depending on where he heads next, but if he just left the med lab, I think he's trying to stay out of sight, or possibly going by Hanson's opinion of things. It's to get to go into area so he can rest and eat. And do it without getting caught by us right now." Robertson said, before he heard Dayton answer him as he listened carefully to his next remark then as he said it to all of them at that.

"Sirs, I did some swift scans after the simulated explosions in T-95, a bit ago. It seems that it terminated the power in certain situations areas of the ship, and one of said areas. That it did was is in the android's quarters, causing the equipment to go berserk in there." he said and Data thought it over to why he said that and then hid a smile as he got it, as he realized why Dayton was doing that.

Just to make it sound as if Lal was the one doing everything electronically in his quarters and he hid a chuckle as he said it to himself softly at that at the remark. As he continued he thought it to him then gently at that remark. 'The terminal remark is just a decoy, Lal is watching over him and he's using my showers. And the replicator right now as a result, before he goes to bed right now, but first showers."

"As he washes all the dried blood from his stage acting when he left his apartment off of him. And then the replicator, is so he can replicate the sleeping pill and in the morning, it's so he can feed Spot, before he changes rooms after I clear each room tonight. And tomorrow, but first is so he can get the distraction set up, yes alright, alright keep going Charlie, it's not Wes doing that."

"it's Lal, she's the computer A.I., now, she's terminated the power and is causing my equipment to get erratic right now at the moment. Keep going, we have to make sure that until every room is clear, before I free the guards that we have them continuing to think its Lal right now." he said to him mentally as he went further then gently as he continues in explaining it to her then.

"And our new A.I., she also terminated the power in his quarters and is dealing with taking care of the cat. And with him disabled right now at the current moment, so she's dealing with his cat right now. But as a result of the explosion, the bugs in the system are erratic at the current moment, and to the point it's screwing with the replicator, and in his shower now."

"So if we have a sudden equipment use in there, it's because of several bugs in the system, thanks to the simulated explosion. Though at the moment, if what he told us was true regarding several leftover shards in that shaft. And despite a very fresh surgery, it's clear why he headed for the med lab with sickbay now in our hands and us blocking off his apartment." he said and they heard it then.

"What's the said reason exactly?" Picard asked him and he explained that to him gemtly at the question. "So he could take a shower and get into some clean clothes as he recovers from the adrenaline come down and sugar crash. So I think after he left the lab he decided to bunk somewhere for the night, as this trip to the lab. And it was for a secondary dose in the general stimulate cocktail.

Before he replicated another candy bar or something, before he gets into where he's sleeping for the night." he said and Data knew they nodded as Will answered him as he said it to him gently as Data hid a smile of pride at his students skills then. "Alright, so what do you suggest right now, Ensign?" he asked and Dayton explained that as Wesley hid a smile as he went further then as he said it to him.

And gently at that remark then as he gave the next idea to her, through Picard. "With all personnel not involved in the search, those rooms are left out of it. So of 5,000+ places to hide, half of those, including the android's quarters, are left out of the equation, as the doors are all locked. But half that number would take 10 to 15 hours to search until the clock on that timer ends by that point."

"So we just leave the rooms set for in case he decides to go in there, or decides to head back to his quarters now. But keep a few medic's in all public areas with with guards and everyone else in there." he said and Data knew they nodded to that as Picard said it for all of them at that. "Alright everyone stay put in the areas they're in, and be on the alert, all rooms not involved in the search."

"Dr. Anenzi, I want you to dispatch 3 medic's, each, to all public areas, but stay on your guard in case he comes in there. But all public areas be on the look out for both him and Cadet Hanson right now. Or Hanson's friends if they decide to get involved, I want them out of the search. And that's including the areas we have set up, but all areas that are locked are left out of the search."

"And for the night and the android's quarters and all not on duty personnel, take them out the equation, lieutenant. So until the timer ends, it's doing a manual systematic search of every room, so it's going to be a very long 15 hours now." Picard said and he knew they nodded as they ended it at that. "And that's another mistake, we call you by name, not by race." Pulaski said and Data nodded.

After getting to just outside of the Crushers apartment Data pulled the beacon from his pocket then. "Lal turn out the lights in the room." he said and a minute later he heard a shout at that. "Open it." he said and he quickly charged in and hit them both with several beams each. Before watching them as they shook their heads as they both sat down in exhaustion as Porter looked at him as he refocused as he said it to him.

"We had this conversation three times with the members closest to him, starting with Porter at the moment, but once back to normal. Data had to go to debrief as they were the ro-test in determining our theory, that once back to normal. Your normal selves kicked in, as well as medical knowledge and determining what he was telling you. And with the clues through what he left out to you." Mauldur said to that and they all nodded to her.

"Data, what the hell did she do to us?" he asked and he sighed. "Lal activate the code security clearance to the resistance cell, the Crusher apartment is now cleared of the contagion. Enact security codes of 555-2375-249875, requesting emergency shelter area protocols effective immediately for the night. So your orders come from Lieutenant Porter now, too." he said and in response to that.

The room flashed blue at that and Davidson nodded as Porter said it for both them at that. "The empath blocking energy pulse, Wes thought of everything in our cases to protect us right now, didn't he." he said, bemused and Data nodded as he answered his first question then. "Indeed yes, but this was so he could help you recover after I freed you Ensign, and to answer you now, Lieutenant."

"This situation is try #3, to get an incursion going in the federation, but try one was the reason Maxwell went renegade. Try one, was regarding the Cardassians and as a result Maxwell went renegade and killed 650 people. Try two was to kill the Klingon Ambassador, and they turned Geordi into an assassin. So try two didn't work, so this one was try three, by getting a game into the Starfleet."

"And it was by her infecting our ship. And programming everyone that used it to get into the next drop off points, the junior crew figured out and Wes told me. While Charlie was acting as a plant, Ensign Lefler was the bait and he was keeping you busy while I created a way to counteract the addictive properties. And of that game, but I just managed to get him to take a break."

"And he's sleeping off the effects of the adrenaline crash right now." Data said and he looked at the evidence all over the table as his eyes narrowed in anger. "This was my reaction when I realized what the hell happened here and why he looked like this. Every clue laid a possibility that was enough to piss me off now. As I read it out to Eric as I said it to Data." Porter said as as he saw his hand land on the table then as he said it.

"I see what he's telling us, something dismantled his sleep cycles, these symptoms are the symptoms of sleep deprivation, Caffeine withdrawal and malnutrition. He's two emergencies away from having his system impact and crash here?" he snapped and Data nodded to him gently at that. "Yes that's it exactly, he was going to tell us when he got back, but with the Commander."

"And Counselor Troi now compromised." he said and they nodded to him. "He tells them and he's telling her what's wrong with him, she's been trying to catch him in the act all week until tonight. She realized that he busted her and the jig was up, and she knew she had to get every single person over the age of 17. And I think it only works on young adults to fully grown adults in humans."

"And humanoids, but it didn't work on you, because you're an android." Davidson said and he nodded to him and he sighed. "Then this was a case of stage acting right now." he said as Porter, thinking it over as he went to bathroom and went to a dustbin and then dug out the clean bag. And looked from it to the one that was smeared with blood and nodded as he read it out as he smiled in relief as he read it to them.

"Uh huh, his mother was good at theatrics when the ship personnel put on plays. So he decided on an act of stage acting this just to get our parental instincts to go berserk, as to why. It's she's trying to keep control of us by focusing on his physical condition, so if the memory recall. And of everything we did together didn't work right now, then he's going to start over riding it."

"And by having our parental instincts go berserk at the moment, as to why he chose this method, it's because if he hadn't stopped in that tunnel when he did. And he'd have collapsed, and landed right on top of this one, tetanus shot, tetanus shot. Lal, I need to check to see when he was due to get his booster?" he said to her and a minute later it came up on the computer then and he nodded.

"You still use most of our vaccines here guys?" Janet asked and they nodded. "Yeah we do, but at the moment, we had drug neutralizer in case this ever happens, but drugs like this. And mixing it with the alcohol, that's what I'm worried about here, but Derek crossed the two, had a serious reaction. And nearly killed Charlie, seeing us coming he tried to take off and we had to box him in by the security shields." Greyson said to her and she nodded sternly.

"With the fact I saw this, I knew what he decided to do, but I didn't know where he hit or what he hit, until now. But knowing his training better then Davidson, Data and I decided to clarify the reasoning for Eric and we went from there." he said and Picard's grandfather nodded to him. "His last dose was before that traveler came back when Bev got stuck in that void, and he was due for it this month, so he took care of it himself."

"And simulated the reason for it. Got himself a quick snack, a dose of epinephrine, mixed with vitamins, and then left the vitamin bottles all over the room. And created his supplies and then got our attention, but that's why he left this photo out for me right now, that was bonding test between us. And like I said at the time, this was just weeks before the traveler returned to the ship."

"And and for us the time he left, it was fast approaching now and we decided on father/son bonding test during this. Before he left for the academy at the time last year, but he knows what's wrong with us. The members he's closest to right now, because he spent close to four years knowing everything about us. So to us, two reasons but 1) it's the fact that as our student, but 1) like our son,

"And 2) it's because we have Charlie here who is so much like him that it hurt. Seeing Charlie in every spot we normally saw him in, and finally it's the aggravation. Of dealing with Derek and his repeatedly breaking his medical recovery." he said and they nodded firmly and Davidson nodded, but before he could answer him then, they heard Lal answer him, her tone stern as she said it.

"Yes well I was tracking Cadet Hanson's communicator now. And despite orders given to him, by you Lieutenant, Charlie, Wes, and the Captain. He's decided to go looking for him to arrest him, himself. Father he's armed and his bio-signature, it indicates he's just ingested a very high amount of ethanol. And with it, it's also giving every indication of stimulates with it, my readings."

"They suggest a stimulate that is more damaging than caffeine right now." she said and Porter said it firmly at that as he answered her, as Anenzi quoted that with him to the news. "The said stimulate is a drug us humans call amphetamines, back in the 20th century they called it by the nickname of speed. But it's stimulate and he mixed it with ethanol, which is a sedative if too much is taken in."

"But mixing stimulates and tranquilizers does damage to a point that if you don't get your system cleared of the toxins, and that's beyond dangerous, as to why exactly. It's because this messes with your neurological functions to the point it can put you into the hospital when you're a human. And this was why he was on light duty in the first place, we've had to arrest him once too often."

"And to repeat my remark right now, we had all we can take in this regarding repeatedly crossing the lines. In regarding him repeatedly breaking his detox and rehab right now. And this is the last and final straw right now for us as the security crew, the last time prior to this. He barely broke his wrist in that exact same hallway and Wes had a concussion, and this time he did it for real."

"And it nearly kills Charlie in the outburst and he suffers a seizure, and with that in mind. The last reaction nearly killed Charlie and that was less then a month ago right now and trying it this soon after the last one. That's not only dangerous, he could have another seizure or worse, if he starts resisting arrest, alright we have to follow orders right now." They said together at that remark then gently at that.

And Data nodded in agreement to his thoughts as he grabbed the equipment, as he looked through Beverly medical drug cabinet and grabbed the sedatives. "Damn it Derek, just how many times do we got to do this, your body can't take this level of abuse. And repeatedly, and we know you don't want to keep this up, but you left us no choice now." Frakes said with a gentle, but firm tone for all of them and Data nodded to that remark.

"I don't know how many times we got to do this, but the rehab from was that just barely a month prior. If he would just stay clean then we wouldn't have to resort to this right now, come on son, just how many times do we got to do this. Because your body can't take this type of abuse repeatedly here, now that's enough of this already right now." Greyson's double said, running his hand through his hair then at the memory and they nodded.

"And Roga comes to mind here, he was acting like he was on PCP." Perkins's double said in response and Colm nodded sternly in agreement to that. "PCP, it stands for Phencyclidine, it's hallucinogen, that after using it, doesn't have you feeling pain, but turns you into a wild animal in the take down. Taking seven to ten men to subdue the victim that uses it, before we got to go to sedation." Hammond said and the crew nodded in shock to that news.

"Our way of life, we had the rules set to protect our cubs, but some still pull crap like this, before we got to go to sedation, before they tear something." Whoopi said and they nodded to the news. "Hanson junior here, well he crossed his recreational drugs one too many times, and here's the result, if cub won't come quietly, and we're sedating him, before he hurts himself or alerts the guards, through you, Brent's awake." Jack said to and he nodded to them

Before grabbing a neutralizer to counteract the drugs in his system as he worked carefully in equalizing the dose. "I'm lucky I kept medical supplies in our quarters so you can do this if we had an emergency like this. And that you're skilled in medical training Data, otherwise this wouldn't have worked right now." Beverly said and he nodded to her. "Said the same thing right now at the moment Beverly, but with it now here, in truth."

"I don't give a damn what he says right now, Data, but this is too soon for this right now after the last time. But Wes's remark when he paged us over the computer, that must be the catalyst right now. He thinks Wes is is goading him over the fact that he hasn't gotten reckless in his actions and it's lasted so long. In our eyes that Wes had the skill he doesn't have and with doing this in the way we wanted him too, in her eyes

"She think that comming us and in the middle of a manhunt is a failure in his training, but as ourselves, we consider this tantamount to taking her off guard. Dodge a security team and head for ten forward, I don't think so, Wes is doing great right now at the moment, but it's because he's doing it like a scientist right now. But again, he's suffering from that psychosis Wes told us about when he showed us his computer program."

"And you downloaded Lal into the system as well, that Wes passed every test we gave him, in this, won every award he wanted. And to him, it's we're comparing him to Wes and in our eyes he just can't seem to measure up. And he's decided if he can catch the golden boy, in our eyes, that at least gets him credit. But he's not considering all the ramifications, I mean what if it's not you or him that he runs into out there.

"But Danar, a teenager going up against a skilled soldier, or officer, it's suicide and it's, in our eyes, reckless endangerment. Well he blew his training test tonight, and Charlie is getting second in command on the team with Wes back for the duration." Porter said to his double at this and he nodded as he answered him, feeling his annoyance then as his voice repeated that remark his tone going stern then as he looked at Data as he said to him.

"I don't give a damn what he says right now, Data, but this is too soon for this right now after the last time. But Wes's remark when he paged us over the computer, that must be the catalyst right now. He thinks Wes is is goading him over the fact that he hasn't gotten reckless in his actions and it's lasted so long. In our eyes that Wes had the skill he doesn't have and with doing this.

When in the way we wanted him too, in her eyes, she thinks that comming us and in the middle of a manhunt is a failure in his training, but as ourselves, we consider this tantamount to taking her off guard. Dodge a security team and head for ten forward, I don't think so, Wes is doing great right now. At the moment, but it's because he's doing it like a scientist right now."

"But again, he's suffering from that psychosis Wes told us about when he showed us his computer program. And you downloaded Lal into the system as well, that Wes passed every test we gave him, in this, won every award he wanted. And to him, it's we're comparing him to Wes and in our eyes he just can't seem to measure up, and he's decided if he can catch the golden boy."

"In our eyes, that at least gets him credit, but he's not considering all the ramifications, I mean what if it's not you or him that he runs into out there. But Danar, a teenager going up against a skilled soldier, or officer, it's suicide and it's, in our eyes, reckless endangerment. Well he blew his training test tonight now, and Charlie is now getting second in command on the team."

"With Wes back for the duration, I'm not sure what Derek is thinking right now, but trying it this soon after the last reaction is way too dangerous right now. That level he took in plus the amphetamines, he's just landed himself in the emergency room for the second time in two months. Dr. Anenzi could consider this tantamount to a relapse at the moment or he's suffering a case."

"Of withdrawal and rebound, but either way, I'm doing his decision for him. But Derek's getting that rest break whether he wants it or not right now. But it's either he goes with me to sickbay, or its sedation and once the entire room is cleared. Dr. Anenzi tells her to teleport him into the room, though if this tells me anything, then the second the sedative wears off and he sees he's in there."

The reaction is going to be the added side effects of the secondary programming." he said and finished with a sigh then. "Though if Wes is trying to stay awake and takes whatever it was that he was on before the situation hits stage three of their plan. That is Etana and whoever she's in league with, but if it reaches stage three of whatever their back up plan is after we end this."

"And he's the target for it in whatever our research reveals on this, but I really hope. That it's not connected to what he told me earlier, but in this case, if it is and there's more. Then caffeine in those pills he told me about, and we have to analyze those pills to know what this is, because whoever gave him the pills. Set him up for rehab, and it means we've got to pull a medical intervention."

"In his case, if his system crashes and we find that in his system, but if this is part of their plan, because all this time. He thought it was caffeine, but if there's more to it, we don't have a choice here, regarding this right now. But it's medical intervention and the six of us are now doing the decision we should have when he was under Devin's knack 2 years ago." he said to him gently at that.

And as he finished up as the duo nodded at that. "You mean that's not the first time you saw him looking like this?" Davidson's grandfather asked him and he nodded. "No it's not, the last time I saw him looking like this was after Devin threw his knack on him. After it ended he was asleep for three days, tried to report in and we found him collapsed in his quarters. Because his system impacted and crashed and he came down with the flu."

"It was after this that the seven of us weren't taking chances of that happening again and decided if this did we were doing what should have done then. It was just after we met a smuggler named Okona." Pulaski said, sighing at the memory as Data repeated that on the image to him. "No it's not, the last time was after we encountered a smuggler called Okona, it was a summit between the Klingons and another group."

"But a Selelvian by the name of Jaan Devin threw his knack on him, and he was worked into a collapse. But his system impacted, crashed and he came down with the flu 3 days after Devin was killed, but we made that single mistake. And of not getting him to get some rest and the six of us and Dr. Pulaski decided it wasn't happening again." he said and the duo nodded both nodded to him gently.

As Porter answered him at that as he said it to him."If whatever it was that he was going tell us, I bet it's in his stuff, because he never took stimulates before and whatever caused it now. It needs to get addressed, but we have to confiscate it, though if our secondary host switches the pain killers he was on. for whatever it was that he going into detox from and that's enough of reason right now."

"Because the reaction alone could kill him if he's suffering anything else at the time. Though for us, he's closest to us, the quartet, Miles, the commander and the duo, but with it now. But it's clear that he's following the prescription and medical instructions Eli and Joe Dayton would have suggested here. If he's draining the caffeine out of his system like this, but increased exertion."

"Then suffers a jolt, he came in here and grabbed something that had both in it, a quick bite to hold him till he got to your quarters. Ate a real meal and took the missing vitamins from his diet, took the sleeping pill and he's down for the count after that. But Wes needs 8 hours of rest and he doesn't need it being interrupted right now, so with that, I think it's best if you put Derek under."

"And for the night, because he's trying to pull night duty when we ordered him to bed. Just tell Eli, that Davidson, you and I made his decision, regarding Derek, for him and Beverly. And we decided he's getting the rest he needs, and whether he wants it or not. Right now, because these kids are pushing our nerves regarding this, way too far, so enforced medical intervention in that."

"And I mean, right now, as I'm the first of however many we have in each of the designated shelters right now. And I'm saying this on Greyson and Jack's orders, but medical arrest and intervention." he said to him, before he looked at the terminal then. "What's Lal's position now, he said that if she was human, she'd be no older then him or the quartet?" Davidson asked and he explained that.

"If we were human, I'd be 35 years old, she's 18 to 19, for the kids, she's like a member of their squadron. Though she's in the system it doesn't matter, she's got his back with Charlie busy acting as a plant and the duo incapacitated until tomorrow night." he said as he refocused on her at that. "Lal, I need a lock on the bed across from my computer." he said and in answer to that request then gently.

The trio saw the young man in a deep sleep and with the cat curled up next to him then before she curled into his side and in response to her actions. He wrapped his arm around her and in his sleep started stroking her fur gently. As they heard a gentle purring start up at that as she looked at him softly as she pressed her forehead to his. As they laid there on the bed sleeping as the purring kept up then and the group hid a smile.

Watching this the trio exchanged looks at that, as, exchanging smiles to that, Porter said it with a smile. "Looks like she thinks he's her kitten from the very beginning, because I've never seen her this relaxed with any adult. Let alone curling up into their arms when they're asleep or worked over time." he said and Data nodded as Davidson hid a chuckle at his remark as he answered that.

"I think your cat considered him her kitten if she decided to sleep on the bed with him, though she's acting like a mother cat now. But here's something we never saw before in her, but I think she likes kids more than adults, if she's like this around him." Davidson said and he nodded as he hid a gentle smile. "Seven months since you got her, she's never acted like this with anyone."

"And in the adult crew, and the second he returns and acting in the way she does with you, and acting like she belongs to him now as well at the moment here." Porter said as he tried to hold in a chuckle and Data nodded smiling as he answered him. "If he had his own and it's a girl then yes that would the case right now, but I think she just decided she was his cat as well."

"If she's like this around him now, aside from that his mother is a cat person, but I think Spot likes children more than adults. To her meeting him now was enough to get her attention, she in human years is 27 years old and he's just hit his 19th birthday. But in Lal's eyes my closest friends were the rest of the senior staff, Guinan, Chief O'Brien and several members each."

"Of the engineering and security crews, we're the ones who helped his mother raise him at the time, so he's our cub too." he said and he nodded with a slight smile as Porter said it."That's it kiddo, just rest, you done enough for one night, we can take care of ourselves, you just save your strength, you need to rest." Porter said softly to him and he nodded as the man went further at that remark.

"Damn it, he wasn't ready for this and he was definitely in no condition for it. At our age, it's acting like a father to him and he's got more the one surrogate or adoptive parent on the ship. But once the senior staff figures out the clues he left out for us tonight and Beverly is going to kill her. For pushing him into this when he wasn't in any condition for it tonight, though I think he knew."

the only way for me to focus was by reminding of our bonding training game. And it was by leaving that clue on the wall of the shaft, he did that before. By leaving a package of his favorite cookies and his initials on one of the trees on the holodeck last year for me, that was another clue to me, but the red ink. That was Perillon dye, Jake Potts..., yes of course, after Soong hijacked the ship."

"He finished the download and that was it at the time. He wanted me to remember when he finished and completed the programming. And I'm the first to figure it out, but the survival fitness test. Blue was a false trail, red was the real one, she doesn't understand what he was telling me, but Jules Verne, a clue for me." Porter said as he finished that looking at the image with a gentle look.

"But yeah that's what I figured, that much physical exertion, once the adrenaline quits, and as does the sugar rush and he's decided on a real meal, before taking a shower. And after laying down, the comedown hit him and he's down for the count. But every symptom of iron deficiency is apparent, as is potassium, as he's over heating way too fast, but every mineral."

"That he normally had high doses of is depleted dangerously right now. Like any cop or paramedic, we know first aid pretty well, and with that, leaving these bottles lying around. But a sudden surgery like this, lose one unit, gain one unit, take the iron tablets, and a sudden burst on the epinephrine cocktail. A massive sugar burst to refuel his blood sugar levels and before he gets some real food."

"Into his body, but every clue was made clear to what he's trying to tell us with us being the first now. That are back to normal in the resistance pocket cells at the current moment here, and he's saying to us what's really wrong with him now that we're back to normal. And he's saying he's suffering malnutrition, caffeine withdrawal and sleep deprivation, but his is tolerable."

"And at the best of times, Derek on the other hand, he is danger to himself and he's the one who needs medical attention." Porter said and he nodded as he answered him. "Issues with being a cat person, cat's can sense whether or not you are and she knows he is." Gates said to that and he nodded to her gently."Yes well in this case, it's either he goes to sickbay, or its sedation and we have Lal get him in sickbay after I free the medical team in there. Were there several medical personnel in every public area, though because I know that you guys were in every public place.

"Aside from Bates, Roberts and Greyson right now, but are there medical personnel and security crew in every public place?" he asked and Porter nodded. "Yeah there were, though once we're free of the program, everyone's focus shifts directions. And with my being the first my thoughts shifted from Wes and right back to the right teenage patient, as Wes said that if we heard this."

"Then we'd order him to be arrested and taken to sickbay for an immediate recovery, but doing it this soon. If he thinks we're not going to order him under medical watch this soon, he'd better think again right now. And hearing our latest training ensign did it again this soon after the adverse reaction he had just short of a month ago the security personnel's thoughts are going."

"And in the same direction mine are and they're saying he should be in sickbay. But the captain ordered if you, or the others, caught him in the hall, armed and intoxicated. Then he's being called out on a real medical arrest right now, Data and with that in mind. We better follow orders, he may not be himself right now, but with us back to normal and soon enough the other hotzones."

"We're following direct orders, both for Derek and for any flip out, so medical arrest until it's safe to open the door. In case it causes a relapse, but if he resists arrest, it's sedation, and we get him in sickbay by use of the site to site transporter system." he said to him and Data nodded as he left the room at that. "So what's coming next where cub is concerned at the moment?" Frakes asked and he explained that remark.

"Prepare yourself for this next reaction, because it was clear to me now, but as I said that after I released from her control, he back pedaled when I said I was taking him to sickbay. He said he was focused, and he did that at the time, but honestly, he was drenched in sweat and his pupils were dilated. He's taken in two much that he was close to a relapse now that I had to get him to you."

"Doctor." Data said and the trio nodded as he reactivated it from there as they saw him wandering down the hall carefully. "Damn it son, this is not only reckless, but completely dangerous, but what if it wasn't Wesley walking the hall, but someone like Linda. After she'd been trapped at that hospital too long, or what about Roga?' Janet asked and he nodded sternly in agreement to this remark as they, Beverly, Hammond and Landry exchanged annoyed looks.

Carefully searching the hall, he removed the hypo syringe from his pocket holster as they heard his remark to this. 'Young man I don't know what you're thinking right now, but trying it this way. Just to get a better reputation with the security and us members of the senior staff crew is reckless. And is not the way to handle a situation like this right now, you've been under adult supervision ever since the last reaction

'And trying it this soon is too dangerous whatever you're thinking young man, you're not thinking straight right now Cadet, and don't fight me, because you're going into forced recovery for the third time in 18 months. But that's enough of this right now, cadet, don't fight me young man, because you're getting that rest period at the moment cadet, with you still in recovery here from that.'

'And whether you want it or not right now." he thought to the young man firmly and heard a shout and looked up to see the teenager in question then. "Well you just read my thoughts out Data, but his trying it this soon after the last one. But he's exasparating his condition right now and he could have a relapse, he needs to rest. He's getting that rest, and whether he wants it or not right now." Will and Anenzi said together at that remark.

"Whoa, but I thought, alright hold it right there Data." they heard and saw it was their student's rival. "Mr. Hanson as you are not part of security or a member of the crew, I'm not entitled to do you any harm." he said to him sternly and he answered him as he yanked a phaser. "Where is he exactly right now, Data?" he asked and Data stood there as he answered him, knowing exactly what was happening.
