The Bonds Of Friends And Family

Warnings: From here, it's going to turn into the rest of the story-line for the cast so they know what needs to be changed and where, for the novelization focused on this episode as Data is going from department to department in ambush sites to free them.

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 26: The Game Recap Part VIII: Ten Forward And Attempted Mutiny I

Instead of answering he hit him with the cure as he fell into the wall. "What the, alright wait a minute, where is he?!" he snapped at him and Data answered him firmly at the question. "Why do you want to know exactly Derek, because you weren't supposed to be on duty right now anyway. Trying to play the hero to get extra credit are we, Cadet, because I do believe we've gone over this before."

"And after we started training you, and with that, you do realize if I was the inspiration of his chosen decoy attempts you'd be dead right now. But as I'm not, you're very lucky or this would turn into a hostage situation, and as for your physical condition right now, cadet, how many times do we have to do this with you, that until you're completely recovered from the substances."

"That you've been contaminating your body with lately, you need to be in sickbay for this, you're not thinking straight. Did you really expect to run into your rival tonight, because that overconfidence is a dangerous flaw. As is this desire to get out from the duo's shadow and mixing it with drugs, ethanol and adding a phaser to it is a very dangerous mix." he said, moving closer to him.

"And one that could kill someone as a result, if you're not careful and are sober and secondly. Doing it this soon after the last dose just under a month ago, Porter and I see this as you had a relapse. Or you never expected that the second that the crew is freed from the programming that the focus turns itself back to the right teenage patient, when his is more tolerable at the moment."

then yours is and he knows how to end the jolts he's suffering from. When he's in detox, but you did not and with that, if you expected us to not realize it. That you did it again and this soon after the first at the moment, then you're mistaken here. Because we did, but medical arrest just shifted directions for the first resistance cell right now, you remember what the captain said.

"If Lieutenants Bates, Roberts, or Greyson and their teams, let alone I, caught you in the hallway. Inebriated and carrying a phaser, you were to be arrested and taken to sickbay for immediate detox. And medical supervision, well instead of the security teams that catch you, I do now, cadet. And you're the medical patient at the moment now, trying this again this soon after the last."

"This is way too dangerous at the moment, and to them, this search is getting dangerous enough already without adding inebriation to it right now. The captain gave me and the others direct orders if we caught you. And like this, you're to be apprehended and taken to sickbay." he said and, watching him carefully, as the young man's eyes widened at that and Picard nodded firmly to that.

Seeing the look in his eyes, they all nodded. "He wasn't expecting me, if I was really me, to be serious with that order." he said as he heard it then to that. 'Oh no, the captain gave them direct orders if they caught me I was under arrest. And for breaking orders at the time, and..., oh god no, how did they figure it out that fast. With the effects of the programming, their attention was focused on him for once."

"But Porter knows I did it, no, how did he find out, no please don't say it, not again, I don't want to go through it again.' they heard as he asked a fast question. "How..., how did you know..." he started to say and he answered him. "That you did it again, my daughter is the A.I., that is controlling the ship. She was monitoring your vitals and tracing your communicator through the corridors of the ship."

"But trying it this soon after the last reaction which was just short of month ago is way too dangerous right now, and you should be resting right now. And not be on duty or contaminating your body with another this soon after the adverse reaction. Said reaction less then 3 weeks ago, with the hotspots about to be decontaminated, with the teams in locked into their corresponding spots."

"And I'm the one searching the halls for you, but as Lieutenant Porter told me you you were supposed to be in your quarters resting, well I'm saying you're on stand down." he said and they nodded sternly. "You need to ask this, I was already in the system monitoring this all this time right now Derek, and are you trying to piss me off, I'm busy enough already without adding this to it." Hallie said in stern annoyance at this situation.

"Alright easy baby, don't lose your temper." Levar said to her and she nodded to the orders gently at that remark. "Now, with my being back on line, I'm the only senior officer not affected by this right now. And one of my juniors is in bed resting after pushing his endurance further then he should have. While the other is incapacitated and the possible third is working under cover right now at the moment here."

"And you're the fourth of the quintet, a newly activated recruit and you're on light duty right now and on medical watch, I can ascertain that though they're compromised the added acts. And of knowing that you're still on light duty shot through them after she read their, or our thoughts, regarding you. And before the axe fell tonight at the moment, but of five he's got an easy recovery."

"At the moment, you on the other it's far more dangerous at the moment, but of you. In junior recruits, it's you who wasn't supposed to be on duty, as the only ones who were, were supposed to be Charlie, Robin Lefler and Wesley. So if this was to get some recognition and attention it's not the way to do it. And secondly, you're on light duty, and medical watch and you broke your rehab."

"And from this and at another dangerous level. So you're being removed from duty and are on medical watch until you're clean, cadet. Now come with me, you're going to sickbay, you need to be under medical watch right now." he said and they watched the young man back up. "Get ready, he's ready to bolt right now, because the effects of this are too much for him to take." Bates said with a sigh to that.

"No, once was enough, Data, I'm okay, I don't want to go. I'm focused, I'll go to my quarters, but no sickbay." he said quickly to his remark and he hid a nod as sighed mentally then. "There's no fighting us after the last reaction he had, he needs to be under my supervision." Anenzi said in response to that. 'Yes that's what I thought, having to go through it twice, he doesn't want to be in sickbay right now.'

'Alright easy, don't fight me cadet, easy, easy.' he thought as he answered him as he edged closer to him then. "The flaw in this programming she created is that once back to normal and free of her programming. Is that the focus switches directions, at the moment their, or rather her, focus, is on Wesley. But now that Porter and Davidson are back to normal it's on you right now, so think it over."

"Just why would they'd be worried right now, if not for the fact that you crossed a medical line you shouldn't have. And after the seizure and adverse reaction you had, regarding these drugs last month. After we had to get you in detox and rehab for the last three weeks here. You really think that Dr. Crusher, Commander Riker and Captain Picard are not going to order this."

"Once I break her control on them later on today." he said and the teenager backed up at that. "You..., you don't mean that once free, the sextet are going to..., no not again, I'm not going to sickbay, back off!" he said quickly to him then. "I don't think he was expecting to hear that, that the fact that once back to normal. That our attention turns itself right back to the right cadet/patient right now, Jean Luc, Will."

"Let alone that once we heard this, that the 3 of us would order he to be taken to sickbay anyway." Beverly said and Picard and Will nodded. 'Derek I know you don't want to have to keep this up, but repeatedly in an endless circle of withdrawal and recovery. It's enough your body can't take this type of abuse repeatedly right now.' They heard as he answered him as he moved into position as he said it to him.

"It's been less then three weeks, since the last reaction after you nearly killed Charlie, but doing it this soon after that. So how do you suppose Anenzi is going to take it when he hears you did it again at the moment, here, hmm. Your parents left us in charge of you until they got back, but repeated exposure. And to these chemicals and your body was just getting over the last dose."

"And it's too soon for this." he said to him, moving in slowly. 'Don't care, I'm not going to sickbay.' they heard in response and Will crossed his arms at that. "At the moment you don't have choice in the matter right now. But your parents left us in charge of you, young man, but the last attack put my other star pupil in sickbay. But you really expect us not to give that order once we heard this." he said with a stern tone at that.

"Indeed, once we found out, you're going whether you want to or not." Worf said sternly to the image of Wesley's rival. "Derek you're in no condition for this right now, you really expected to not to get caught when everyone else is either locked into the room they're hiding in. That's the other clear flaw in the programming right now, Etana's focus is on Wesley, but mine, Porter's and Davidson's are on you."

"Now again either you come with me, or I'm bringing you into Anenzi myself." he said to him, moving in, before, moving like lightning, he grabbed him and yanked him into his arms then. At that the young man started panicking as he struggled to get free of him and his grip then. "No, no let me go!" he said squirming to get free. "Calm down, settle down now cadet." he said and the teenager quickly said it at that to him.

"No I'm not going, let me go, I'm not going." he said struggling as he struggled to get out of his arms. As he sighed as he said it. "I'm not saying it again, now calm down now, cadet." he said and he snapped at him. "Get your hands off me, let me go, I'm not going!" Hanson said and he said it firmly to that. "Alright, that's enough." he said as he injected a hypospray syringe into his neck, waiting ten seconds.

The young man collapsed and he put him in the lab and into restraints. "Lal when Anenzi tells you bring him in." he said and then locked the door then, as he walked to sickbay and then said it. "Computer turn out the lights in sickbay." he said and heard a shout at that. "Whoa what the hell is going on here." he heard as he walked in and hit each of them with a several flashes each and watched them gently.

And as their eyes all cleared as the medical doctor slumped against the exam table. "Data, what happened to us exactly right now?" he asked in exhaustion and he sighed. "Lal secure sickbay and level two forcefield on the ventilation shaft grates." he said sharply and the doors beeped at that request, and the the twelve medical personnel nodded as they relaxed at that as Anenzi smiled in relief to that.

"Data, again, what happened to us, because now that I'm thinking straight right now, I'm seeing what he was trying to tell us. The medical care he needs right now is under my expertise, so what did he discover. Here, if she triggered our medical security protocols tonight?" Anenzi asked again and he sighed as he explained that to him and knowing he and the others were going to be furious.

"Those games, she used the commander to infect the ship with, are mind control devices that acted like first the Polywater virus. And then turned into the conspiracy, during tonights events, Wesley and Robin Lefler. They figured it out and the mastermind turned her sights on them. Robin has been taken, but Wesley escaped custody, he is in my room right now resting for the night."

"And right now, but what you read on his self diagnosis, was the very tip of it, but as you have the medical reports regarding his self diagnosis." he said and Anenzi nodded as he activated the computer to look and felt his heart speed up then. "Oh dear god no, when he left he was recovering from the effects of a cave in and dehydration." he said and the medical technician answered that from behind him.

"What's it say exactly, if you're getting worried." she asked and he said it firmly then as he looked at his team. "His indications and self exam are giving the exact symptoms of a patient suffering a severe case of sleep deprivation, stimulate use, possibly sugar and caffeine. If this was that movie focused on that mental maniac that was targeting the kids of the people that killed him."

"He's pushed himself into a stay at the hospital to heal from the amount of damage the duration did to his body at the time here at the moment, though from this. It's a case of very high levels of caffeine and sugar, that's the one indication now, but if he's been having repeated nightmares. Possibly focused on us and to block it out he did this, and a severe case of malnutrition."

"But whatever's going on at the academy has completely dismantled his medical and nutritional regime. And the one that Beverly and the quartet created for him when she left to return to earth at the time three years ago. But the readings say his heart rate: 130/90, blood pressure: pre-hypertension from stress. Whatever said stress is I'm finding out when everyone is clear."

"But, body temperature: 102' degrees, weight: 110lbs, blood sugar level: 305/caffeine level: 475, serotonin/melatonin level: 475/585. All these symptoms are a patient on the edge of a relapse." Anenzi said and finished with a gentle sigh. "God baby, why didn't you tell me?" his double said to this as he went further at that. "Relapse, relapse of what exactly?" the guard said in shock and his tone went furious as he answered him.

"He's suffering a trio of things, but these are the symptoms of sleep deprivation, malnutrition and caffeine withdrawal. To answer the send question though, Kate and I saw these exact symptoms in him when he was recovering. And after Devin was murdered, Devin threw his knack on him causing him to work. until he collapsed, because he was suffering from the side effects of the knack."

"And ever since then, these kids, the ones like Derek Hanson, they are the reason. That he's working at saving everyone all at once right now the current moment. But three years to the day and suddenly it's happening all over again and it's because someone has just thrown a wrench. And into his recovery, but everyone of these were the same symptoms that he showed then."

"All indicators he's driven himself into the ground, but he had maybe three days of a reprieve, but that's not enough time and as to why. There is still a slight indication of foreign chemicals in his blood stream still, those spasms he had in here when they called out that medical alert are from some sort of withdrawal. Diagnosis: extreme exhaustion, stress, weight loss from malnutrition."

"And a mild fever from possible virus or worse right now, but acute substance abuse recovery. Although if his blood sugar and caffeine levels are telling me anything he's in caffeine withdrawal right now. And that's causing those spasms and why he looks like he's coming down with something. Alright computer, uh, wait a second, Lal, I need the second portion, if he's lost 10 to 12 pounds."

"And is suffering muscle spasms what's the cause and what are his nutrient levels at?" he asked it and he heard a sigh. "Key nutrients missing are calcium, iron, vitamins A, B, C, D, K, potassium, Chronium and magnesium. All nutrient levels are dangerously low. Vitamins C, D, and K, potassium, iron. Magnesium and Chronium, levels are in the dangerously low and need to be replenished."

"And immediately, your patient is endanger of severe spasms and severe case of anemia, and Calcium and vitamin D are needed immediately as well." She told him and he nodded to that firmly then. "And it's good to hear you calling me by name again Doctor. I was hoping you remembered Father put me in the system last year." she added and the members still there hid a smile then gently at that.

"Wait a minute, your voice..., Lal is that you?" the guard said to her and he heard a gentle tone answer him. "Yes Lieutenant, it's me, so I assume if you're calling me by name, you're one of the original crew of the first 3 years after father created me?" she asked and he gave a nod. "I am, I've been here since our launch 4 years ago, but I'm relieved to hear your voice, what are you doing in there."

"Because everyone not involved in the conversation blacked it out when he and Wes downloaded you into the computer last year?" he said and he heard a gentle chuckle. "Father downloaded me into the computer just after Wes added the programming, insurance policy in case this ever happened. But that explains why the stun setting on the cascade field is up to five, it's a warning jolt."

"Such as it is, Wes told me to act like his sister since he reactivated me and my programming, and seeing him this worn out. I'm doing whatever it takes to protect him until everyone is free of the programming now." she said and they nodded. "Great, whoever makes him worse is ending up getting trapped in a turbolift later for it here." the orderly said and Anenzi nodded as he answered that.

"Alright with that fact in mind and that you reported directly to me, I'm going to have to deal with this, when his mother finds out. Though she and I are dealing with his medical recovery and whoever shows up in the next few hours, if you're back on line, is helping me out. But get the others, because we're doing the engineering room in the morning after he takes them further now."

"Into a case of misdirection here, but whatever else he has planned is working so far, but it's working past computer sensors to get whoever we got coming in the morning to protect them." he said and Data nodded to him. "I got him to take a sleeping pill so he could get a few hours of rest to recover, but if I have to guess, it's this is a cross between the captain and Tyken's rift Doctor."

"In regarding his sleep cycles." he said and the doctor nodded as he answered him."I dropped in on Porter and Davidson, they're in Wes's apartment, but they were my first stop, but them, you, ten forward and the lounges. But I count 30 of you and them, so that's 32 so far right now, but I'm doing engineering tomorrow at the moment. Wes told me that the repeated hotflashes were a case."

"Of caffeine withdrawal and iron deficiency." he added and the man nodded as he looked at the diagnosis and sighed reading it as he said it. "Whatever's causing this and I think it could be too much of whatever caffeinated product he was taking in prior to this and the duration. But if this is the reason his BAC levels are this high, than we got to get him back on his regime and keep him home."

"But if Charlie knows him than he can fill us in, regarding what the hell was going on at the academy and what was causing it." Anenzi told him and he nodded as he answered him. "Someone involved in this conspiracy has completely dismantled his sleep cycles, Doctor. He told me he's been having frequent nightmare about us ever since Geordi got turned into an assassin."

"Almost like the situation with the entity regarding the captain, Doctor Crusher and Lieutenant Worf. The thought-maker was part of this as well, in his words, it's like the images are for real and he's seeing everything that's happening up here. To us, and ever since this started this has gotten out of control and he started taking the pills, but stopped like three months ago."

"When he realized they weren't working at the time, but making it worse, all in all at the moment. That it's gotten so serious, that he's lost four months of rest, every symptom from sleep deprivation is present. Though if she decides to go 2 out of 3, and the muscle weakness is going to lay him out. Before he can get out of the shaft a second time and she tries this and he's not leaving at all."

"Because as yourselves, you know him better than he knows himself, and with that in mind right now. So if he's the target to make sure that does get to earth and further into the federation. It's making that said parasite doesnt leave this ship here." he said and he nodded firmly to the news at that. "We got company coming in the morning, who is it?" Anenzi asked and he explained that to him quickly.

"It's Dr. Pulaski, and someone with her, but the command is sending back up at the moment. But with you clear now, just act like you're still compromised when the Doctor comms you in the morning. Wesley created himself a kit with everything that was needed, and has taken refuge in my quarters. To eat and rest for the night, and Dr. Crusher's fatal mistake is that she had everything."

"That he needed to create his first aid kit, and he replicated the rest of it, but he replicated every vitamin on that list you read out and created MRE's to fill in the nutritional gaps in his diet and a months worth of vitamins. But he's going to create caches in several spots, before the system is back on line later this afternoon." he said and Anenzi nodded, impressed and he gripped Wesley's shoulders.

"Repeated false alarms is enough to drive her crazy, but using our medical equipment to do this that definitely will. But playing around with the alarms, decoy tactics, prank phone calls and two dozen other things. If that's not enough to drive the opponent nuts nothing ever is." he said as his double finished that. "Well that explains why he went to his mother's medicine cabinet, because us doctors keep our own supplies."

"For our families and he knew this and ransacked his mother's office in their quarters to the moment just to get supplies. How many of those stimulant injection syringes did he create?" he asked and Data explained that to him. "12 each of the one I created for him, and 12 of the general stimulant ones. With just epinephrine and minerals in it, and if he took another."

"He took one quick one and used it before getting into my quarters. As he created the MRE's with everything he was missing from his diet vitamin wise at the moment. But everything that a teenager that had a parent who was a medical expert would be living off on in dietary requirements was involved in it. That's including a very fast recharge, before taking the next dose." he said and the doctor nodded as he smiled at the way his friend's son was doing that.

"Smart move son, if I was myself, I'd have said do this immediately as would your mother? Data would this be considered being behind enemy lines and his training scenarios have now turned real, just to do this. If he chose now to start playing radio pranks on the sextet with him undercover?" he asked and Data nodded and he sighed in bemusement at that as the orderlies exchanged smiles.

"Very funny cub, but the pranks with the false alarms are getting annoying right now, take a break for now will you." The orderly said with a chuckle as Anenzi said it. "If the captain and commander were themselves right now they'd be finding that funny but they'd also say to take a break. And deal with the adrenaline crashes, but what's the added side effect here." he asked in answer to that gently.

Before they heard a crash ring out from the wall in answer to that, an immediate alarm went off at that, "Security, check the Jeffries tubes." he heard from Will and nodded as he smiled at that as he finished. "Nice case of misdirection in that one, while they're checking the tube tunnels, Wes is in your quarters. And two decks below them and getting some rest after the adrenaline surge caved on him."

"And after eating something, taking a shower and taking a sleeping pill he needs to sleep this off now. In order to keep going tomorrow, but whatever was in his MRE's is clear and by eating a real meal gives the recharge. Before the next step. By taking the general stimulate syringes, but before you do that eat something first or you're going to make yourself sick."

"I'm lucky my patient is the son of a fellow medical doctor, he knows these things at the moment. Alright again, Data, you head for ten forward and the lounges, we're leaving the sickbay secured for the night. So she doesn't realize that sickbay is clean, but everywhere else needed, including the lounge. It's we create the added pockets of resistance on the ship, at the moment."

"Before we hit the engineering room in the morning. What's his plan: get them, the commander and Worf, out of the room by being in deck 7, section 23. Than meet you and Kate down there after he uses the Jeffries tubes to get in there. Because using Danar's tactics in reverse are going to work, if she hasn't realized it till he hits that move." he said and Data nodded to him gently to that remark.

"At the moment, you better have a look at what they gathered right now, regarding research on this device." he said and and he nodded as he moved to interface and activated it. "Jesus, alright I see why he reported it, was that a mistake or on purpose?" the orderly asked and he explained that. "It was a trap, get her to lose face in front of him." The guard said as he smiled as he got it, smiling.

As Data answered that gently."Yes Doctor, but my modifications on the palm beacon and getting it on to every adult on the ship, it must be done by the engineering crew. After I free them, but if we get the most crucial spots, than all that's left are the pawns. As he's gathered all the key pieces and disabled them now in this chess game." he said and Anenzi nodded to him firmly at that.

"Alright get to ten forward next and then hit the lounges." he said and Data nodded to him. "What orders did Lieutenant Porter give Derek exactly anyway, because I heard a furious tone in Charlie's voice during the fight over the radio?" he asked and Anenzi sighed. "To stay off the channel and to get back to his quarters, the only junior crew members that were supposed to be on duty."

"Tonight were the trio, before she targeted Wes, why exactly?" He asked and he explained that to him, knowing he was going to be furious as he answered him. "Wes said that if any junior ensign who was newly activated was running loose. In the hallways, that he got caught he was in serious trouble. Because that's reckless endangerment and we already discussed this situation with Derek."

"When we activated his training and with those words in mind right now, I think he decided to. Rather than follow orders, to try and deal with this on his own, as to why I'm saying that right now. I ran into Cadet Hanson in the hallway a bit ago, looks like he ignored orders given to him by Porter. To report to his quarters, because I sedated him and put him in restraints at the moment."

"And he's asleep in the medical lab right now, I also hit him with the cure a bit ago as well. But I let him have it for breaking orders, Doctor." he said and they nodded as they crossed their arms. "There's our reaction for disobeying direct orders." Bates said sternly to that. "I take it he was trying to arrest Wesley himself?" The nurse asked as she was standing next to the orderly and he nodded to her.

"Lovely, he was trying to arrest Wes and ends up getting arrested by you for reckless endangerment. He's lucky though that it was you and not Roga Danar, because that's as reckless as it gets. Well he just blew his training lesson now and wait till the captain hears this later, because he's still under scrutiny. And for three altercations and five drunken outbursts the last year."

"Since Wes left for the academy at the time and then nearly kills Charlie last month for a drunken outburst. Whatever books that the kids are dragging into it are going to come in handy. But if Charlie already made his choice in suitors for Robin, he chose Wes and the trio are becoming more bonded by the minute. And while I'm on the subject here right now, he's still in hot water with the captain."

"And for not watching her sons when we were at Ogus II last year, but that's going too far right now. I mean the captain made it very clear as did the entire senior staff crew when he started training at the time." The orderly said to him as the the nurse answered him at that. "But we had zero tolerance for showing off, hotdogging, going by his gut instincts or his trying to act like a hero."

"And definitely not when in the middle of crisis, if had been Roga Danar or anyone else even more dangerous than you and Wes. That he encountered the hallway, that could have gotten him killed or turned into a hostage tonight. But that's as reckless as it gets, we've told the kids repeatedly that when it came to dangerous situations, to leave it to us." Marie Potts added to him in shocked disgust.

And he nodded in agreement as he dropped the news to them. "It gets better actually Lieutenant Potts, because I did a rough scan on Derek Hanson, and his BAC's are back up. And whatever drugs he was on that you're trying to get him off of is back at a dangerous level, but he's intoxicated. And he was carry a phaser set at maximum stun, so we got to him, before he ran into anyone else."

"But he's in the medical lab." Lal said and they nodded to that. "I'm lucky you were monitoring the halls at the moment, but how close was Wes. To passing out, before he got to his quarters, because if that subterfuge is any indication. Then he's running on fumes and the amount drained it was enough. Just to exhaust him after its lasted this long right now?" Anenzi asked and she explained it to him.

"If he hadn't stopped and sat down when in T-95 earlier, he would landed directly on top of the two. That Lieutenant Porter found sitting on the table, but my scan of the level he drained was 20% of the amount. In his system right now, but the repeated climbing up and down the ship is enough to exhaust him. Now at the current moment, but he's sleeping off the epinephrine dose."

"He just took in. And father got him to take a sleeping pill, so he's asleep at the current moment." she said and he nodded. "Alright if you got a link to your quarters, I need to see him, this way I can monitor him from here. Because this much physical exertion, in recovery, it's going to have him falling asleep on his feet after an intense workout like this." he said to her gently and in response.

And a minute later they saw him lying in the bed with the cat asleep next to him before she shifted position and left her head on his shoulder. As they heard a gentle purring coming from the orange tabby and he hid a smile at that, as he saw him in a deep sleep as the nurses exchanged smiles. "I take it Spot decided on guard duty tonight, if she's curled up next to him?" the nurse asked with a slight smile at that response.

"By the sound of her purring, I think he's the first to get past her shields at the moment, in the kids, though she starts acting like this around the trio. I think she prefers kids to us adults, and secondly she's knows he's a friend of Data's and he sees him as a son, after we helped raise him and she saw the photos. Sitting on the desk or bookshelf, so to her, she knows he's a surrogate son."

"To Data, and to her that means he's an adopted kitten now that she has to protect. Until the rest of the ship is free from the programming right now. She possibly also knows that Derek had an adverse reaction to, in her eyes. The catnip he's screwing around with lately right now, if she gave him a warning growl tonight." the guard said to her and Data gently as they watched them gently.

As they watched her press her forehead to his and they chuckled. "Yeah she's acting acting like a mother cat regarding her kittens right now. If whoever tries to catch him off guard once the entire ship is clean, is just asking to get the heck scratched out of them. Because she's going mother cat regarding her kittens with him right now." Allysa Ogawa said with a slight smile to that response then.

As Data gave a nod to her as he answered her as he said it. "Yes, but the adrenaline caved a bit ago, and he's taken a sedative, so he's out for the entire night." he said and she nodded as the security guard said it for the 4 of them. "That's it son, just rest, you've done enough for one night, we can take it from here now. Save your strength, you need to rest cub." the guard said to him gently at that response.

And Anenzi nodded as he said it then as he read it out then to the trio then. "If this was 20th century at the moment, he's following the medical orders. That I'd have given out at the moment, but he's lost weight, slightly high blood pressure. He's been in detox ever since he stopped taking whatever it was. That had him looking like this, but he took the medical orders I'd have given out."

"And once he's out of the danger zone and we're getting the weight he lost back on him at the moment." he said and she sighed then. "He's not the only patient you have to deal with right now doctor, whatever you had him in rehab for, by that I mean Derek Hanson. It's he just suffered another attack in the added effects here." Lal said and he nodded as he crossed his arms as he answered.

"Just what was his BAC levels exactly if you told your father and he put him under. And tjust before he freed us from her control, because he's been in recovery for the better part now. Of three months and in the time we had him in training here at the moment, I know you can't read minds right now. But is the reason he decided to try this was so he could get some recognition."

"And by the duo and the fact that. Despite the fact that Charlie, Lieutenant Porter and the captain ordered him to stand down right now. Because he wasn't supposed to be on duty at all right now, in fact he's on light duty at the moment. Because he has a reaction to one of the drugs he's been screwing around with and just barely killed Charlie last month in the outburst."

"Just before we arrested him to get him in detox." he said firmly and he heard a sigh as Lal answered him gently. "Well Derek Hanson needs a serious medical guard on him just to put an end to this right now. Lieutenant Porter said that's the second time in three months, since he was activated. I'm not sure what it is with his determination in this, but from the way Charlie spoke to him."

"I'm thinking that it's serious, but he's crossing health lines not meant to be crossed right now." she said and he nodded in agreement gently as he said it. "You're right it is, but he's been in rehab for the last three of the five months. That we activated him at the time here, but he's one of the kids on the team Lieutenant Walters reported to me and Walters said until his players were clean."

"No one is playing at all, of the quintet Jacob Kurland reported to us at the moment." he said and Data answered him. "Yes well at the moment, the second I said I was bringing him to you. He tried to backtrack and said he'd go back to his quarters for the night, but with him like this, there's no compromise. He wasn't supposed to be on duty and Porter decided on giving out orders."

"Your medical orders, you, and to us it was either he was coming to sickbay or we sedated him. And then you told her to get him in here once you, and your team, were back to normal. But once the effects give out right now on that sedative, he sees you and it's going to be a repeater, if the effects of that comedown result in another fight." he said and Anenzi nodded to him gently at that.

"Yes and if he said he could focus and return to his quarters, I'm not buying it right now. He's scared that once I saw him, it's he's back under medical arrest and detox, but this is the second time in less then a month. If I'm reading this correctly with the programming, he's relieved our focus is off him. And on Wes for once, but Wes, he's a medical, science and engineering prodigy as well."

"So to him, the only way to counteract the jolts is by taking in something that has the right amount of both stimulates in it. We can wean him off the amount in his system by the right foods, and the occasional piece of junk food that has the right amount of both in it. His is easy at the best of times, but it's when switching from that to something that takes months to recover from."

That's when you got a right to be worried, because your teenage patient, they crossed a few medical lines they shouldn't have. and they're in rehab till they're completely clean. Which was something these guys screwing around with drugs and ethanol don't understand right now. But, in total, that makes four cases of speedballing with the ethanol in 18 months, Derek, come on kid."

"That's enough, your body can't take this type of abuse in the withdrawal and recovery repeatedly, now cool it already. Damn it not again, son how many times do we have to do this, Lal site to site transport, get him in here. Because if he's already sedated, we have to monitor the come down right now. That kid is pushing his body past the breaking point just to get noticed by the duo."

"And that's crossing the line after Walters ordered 5 of the 25 players on hold, because they're off the team till they're clean." Anenzi said to that in shock. "Retrospect is the fact now that once we found out, nothing changes our minds, my son is easy." Beverly said to him. "Once I told him that the second the programming breaks on you, and I don't mean just you, but the entire grouping now."

"In general, but that the second it breaks that you're back to normal, and you heard this news and learned he did it again this soon after the last seizure. And adverse reaction and he just nearly had a panic attack when he heard that news." Data told him then and he nodded as the medical crew exchanged looks. "I see why, because now that our normal personalities have reasserted themselves."

"That our concentration shifted back to the right teenage patient as well. With Wes, it's going to be easy now as he can drain it by exercise, though that's if he doesn't make his situation worse by daredevil stunts tomorrow. Though he does and whatever it was he tried tomorrow afternoon, if he doesn't do it right. That could blow out whatever joint he landed on, if he doesn't stay off of it."

"And especially if it was his ankle he landed on." The orderly said and Anenzi nodded to him in agreement as he answered him gently at that. "But of the duo, Wes's is the most tolerable at the best of times and as a medical and science prodigy. It's he knows how to counteract the spasms given by the caffeine when in detox, but Derek on the other hand now, his was a case of true drugs."

"Drugs and ethanol and it's not just detox, it's draining the poisons from his body completely. And to him he knows that we heard and learned he did it again for the second time in just short of a month. It means that for him he's facing a enforced medical intervention and detox just to get it out of his system. And right now, to us, we already discussed another forced detox, but to him now."

"That it's enough, that the pain of that is something no teenager wants to have to go through this soon after the last one. Wes, in his case it's not as serious, if he took care of the spasms because only the right kind of junk food can take the edge off of it in that area. But Derek, weaning him off that level is not an option, and I'm a rehab doctor, it's either cold turkey or he's sedated here."

"And until the worst of that detox is over." he said with a sigh and Data nodded as he answered him. "Trying it this soon after the last reaction, it's a withdrawal and rebound in speedballing with the ethanol right now. And she said he was on the edge of a collapse before I got a good look at him and the duo said the same. We finally decided enough was enough and made your decision, for you."

"Tonight, Dr. Anenzi, but he's getting that rest period whether he wants it or not at the moment." Data said and he nodded in agreement as he answered him the . "We may have to do the same for Wes, if that withdrawal causes him to black out or whatever she downloaded into his headset. But every symptom in this is suggesting he's on the edge of a relapse, so he's on light duty."

"Till further notice after we're all clear of the effects of these, fortunately caffeine is less potent that drugs, but if those pills. Or whatever they are have more then caffeine in them that explains his complexion right now, judging by what this says. But he needs three months of rest and three more just to get it out of his system, and I'm just saying it now, but he's on medical sabbatical."

"And for 18 months here." he said and Data nodded as he answered him gently at that remark then. "Yes well I hope it doesn't come down to what I'm thinking right now at the moment here. But if this read out says anything it suggests he's on the median and one more issue like this situation. And he's going to have a relapse, if he was the latest patient arrival at that psychiatric ward."

"And he's one attack away from having a relapse. At the moment here if it drains his strength completely later on, but this is going too far. These kids are either working over time or just trying to push the limit further then we'd let them right now. But that type of delirium in this case if his blackout connects to this, it's enough we've got to pull an intervention later, if he gets hit next."

"But this says Wes was trying to block out his connection to whoever the host was he was connected to. In the last few months, and went to over use of the stimulates just to do it." Potts said and they nodded firmly "Well I think this was the added stress at the moment between whoever his peers are. But I'd say this was the result of both, but in truth, it's I doubt he would have done this."

"If he wasn't trying to block us out at the time, but if he had to do this because the rest of us were compromised and I don't think he was alone. But at the moment I don't think Wes had a choice here at the moment, regarding this and with him was Robin at the moment. Though despite the fact Eric told him to stand down, he still breaks orders, wait till the sextet hear this."

"And it's enough that they're going to be furious at this." The guard said to her and she nodded in agreement. "Yeah that's an understatement Doug, because repeated close calls is cutting it to close." Will said to that as Data answered him. "The duo, and possibly trio, didn't have a choice in the matter tonight, but yes. That's what I said when I arrested him, but there's got to be a drawback at the moment,

"Lieutenants Ford, Potts, but at the moment the trio didn't have a choice in the matter tonight, and before you say it. I already have given him a reprimand for that and waiting till now to tell us he wasn't up to this. But his excuse for doing like he, is possibly going to be repeated by the duo later. And once everyone is clear of that programming, but to get back to the problem at hand, now."

"If he tried to arrest him there's likely more to her back up plan than we know. And as to why I'm saying that, if she had a secondary plan or more than one attempt to get it into the federation and off the enterprise, it's by having added programming into it. But if this one didn't work it's by getting a secondary program downloaded and try to get this game back on the duo."

"Though I heard the conversation between Wes and Charlie. It sounded like Charlie was actually telling him where the security team pairs were. And from the sound of Charlie's voice, he was trying to keep from laughing a bit ago." he said they nodded as the orderly thought it over and then the guard started laughing. "Well it's pretty darn clear why that was to us now. " Bates said with a bemused smile.

"That's when it hit me that this turned into a case of teenage mutiny and you double crossed us by all the suggestions you gave us, Charlie. But you're just as good as the commander, but you and Commander Jackson, let alone Commander Carter. One of you could beat us blind folded, two is a more then a fair mstch, but all three of you. And against an unknown opponent when the oldest of the 3 knows us best at the moment."

"You better stand back or we're getting the entire psychological arsenal thrown at us right now which we did here at the moment. Though she doesn't understand that yet, you're preparing to take her down the next morning. Lal freeze it, and show us what happened just before you father broke her link on the sextet." he said and a minute later it activated at that as Picard's eyes narrowed in anger as they heard it then.

As they got him to the bridge and into the captain's chair as Picard looked at him gently. "It's okay Wesley." Beverly said and Will passed her the syringe. "We had it right, this was the back up dose, and it's still full, so he hadn't used it yet." he said and she nodded to him as Picard looked at him gently, though he could see the self satisfied smirk of his programmer in his eyes and seeing the exact thoughts in that smirk.

'At last after fifteen hours, I finally have him, resistance is futile now child, and my plans for you far succeed what I have for them now.' he saw in his own eyes as he felt his heart pounding at that. 'Plans for me, what the hell does she want with me exactly, mom, guys don't do this, let me go, fight her!' They heard frantically in a panic at that as they heard the next remark and they nodded as they heard a new one.

'Data hurry up, she's got me, hurry!' They heard as he looked at him and knowing he was staring at her. 'I don't care what you try, you're never getting that thing off this ship. I just freed two more of your drones. And the others are freeing the entire ship. Are you sure I never reactivated Data, that's your biggest mistake, your arrogance lady.' he thought staring at him then and they all nodded to that.

"Oh she's really going to get it, whatever these plans they are not getting off this ship!" Geordi snapped in anger at that as Beverly pulled Wesley closer to her at that. "Yes, whatever these plans are they are not getting off this ship right now. Although they come close to getting you killed and she's spending the rest of her days in prison. When I get through with her as I'm your stepfather." Picard said with a low growl to that remark.

"We just got double crossed by our young Cubs at the moment, the reason he sounded like that was because he pulled a bait and switch. So by making sure all the teams were accounted for and while the ten of us are scattered to every public area on the ship. Wes knows where all of us are and he's avoiding these areas and decided to take refuge in your quarters tonight."

"Charlie was the plant in this, though he can't act on his own without getting caught, he can give him advice and inside information. And Derek just did it himself by accident at the moment, but Wes and Charlie are acting as partners. And if Robin's acting wasn't genuine, but faked, she was acting as the bait earlier so the trio are in this together, Charlie did what the duo did."

"Just before this manhunt started, and by giving us this suggestion. It's he was really telling Wes where the teams were hiding when we're split up in pairs, nice touch cub. You really out maneuvered her tonight, but time to take it down several notches. And before you completely annoy the opposition at the moment kiddo, because this many bait and switches, getting into a fight over the radio."

"And having constant conversations over the radio is tying up the line. And you keep that up. You're going to get yourself into trouble Charlie, so take it down a notch right now. But Eric was right, Wes has more sense than to go completely reckless when he's too exhausted to think straight, so he resting now. But again, this is getting ridiculous guys, so take it down a notch tonight, will you."

"Boys, it's time to rest and then get started again in the morning, you're still just Cubs, and it's our job to take care of you and not the other way around. Wes, I hope you don't over do it tomorrow and get in touch with us. But that's enough screwing around with the radio and the prank phone calls tonight. So cool it already with the games you guys, it's time to rest, both of you boys."

"So get some sleep." He said smiling, and the doctor nodded with a chuckle as he answered that smiling. "Thats around the time we decided to test that theory right now, but knowing our latest star pupil just joined forces with our original. That the results were now double trouble when they're completely matched up in everything, Sir." he said and Picard nodded to him smiling gently at that as they listened to his remark.

"Lal do a play back of his conversations with Derek, Picard and Riker, we have to make sure right now, start with the first idea he had and move it further." He said and in answer to that. "Sirs, I recommend we put the Turbolifts back on line, he sees them working he may try to use them. As soon as he does, we have him." they heard from Dayton and smiled as he heard from Will at that remark.

"Yes he's right, Lieutenant Evans, put the Turbolifts back online, he sees them working. He may try to use them, soon as he does, we have him, Captain." he heard from Will and smiled at the remark as the guard next to him answered that remark. "It's a trap, running this into our chess game with Danar, but Wes simulated several explosions, in making it seem like he was Danar."

"Just to get them to remember what went off at the time." The guard said smiling at that. "Indeed, Lieutenant Evans reactivate the Turbolifts and put them back on line." he said and nodded smiling at that remark. "Yes do that guys, do it, like Wes knows you better then you know yourselves, it's simple here. But you've just fallen into the exact trap you made back then, and with that."

"Etana, you're never going to win this game. When Cub is even better then you are in knowing us." he added as they waited for the results then gently "Guys seriously right now these decisions in these ideas, if you keep them up you're going to scare us into a heart attack." The nurse said as they heard Hanson's question turned suggestion then and they group nodded to that remark.
