And this from this chapter and forward gives a recap of the last book for the trio as they get caught up, but this story is going to be 90 chapters. As it recounts everything she needs to know from the Game to their future on the squadron. Just before the emergency hits and season 5 starts up after these situations in the aftermath of the episode come to an end, as she learns everything now.
Chapter 30: The Reunion And Debrief Part I
"You too Dave, Wesley filled me in what the heck happened and I was bringing back information regarding a medical situation. Not knowing we walked right into a foothold/hotzone here today, Will's father is in sickbay and we have close to 400 people freed right now as a result right now." Pulaski said and they nodded as O'brien said it to Robin gently as he introduced her to Pulaski at that remark.
"Robin this is Kate Pulaski, she was our CMO in year two, Kate this is Robin Lefler, she's a new arrival with Charlie Dayton." he said and she nodded as she looked at her. "Eli showed me Wes's test results honey, care to tell me why you chose last night to pull this?" she asked and she sighed. "We had that conversation once already right now." Wesley said and Data nodded sternly to that remark.
"Yes and I knew you were running out of time, but if you told me sooner, we could have hid this from them until it was safe to tell them. Instead of just as the emergency gets started Wesley." he told him and Wesley nodded as she said it to her as she looked between them. "He was in sickbay running a self exam on himself, not that he told me this at the time, whatever rules there were, he followed them to a T."
"But I got hit right after we separated." she said and they nodded. "I don't believe this, you just figure it out, he's looking like he's coming down with something, said something. That he's in withdrawal and possibly catching a virus, and you choose now to pull this right now?" Shimoda said to her sternly at that remark and she sighed as she answered them gently at that remark then.
"What did you expect us to do, we wait too long and it was going to be too late." she said, looking between them then, before they heard a gentle tone come from him then. As he finished that remark, as he moved onto the platform just above them at that. "I was going to tell you the second I came home guys, but by then. Dad and Deanna were already drones, so I tell you then and it gets back to her."
"So I had to wait till now you guys, but if these are connected and I'm on medical sabbatical indefinitely now." he explained to them and they looked up and around at that. "Trick #25: Danar, after he knocked us unconscious, got up the emergency shaft and got into a Jeffries tube." Jenson explained to them at that. "Son, where are you?" Jenson asked and he answered that with a smile as he said it to him.
"If you figured out the pattern, as you yourself was helping trace it, after my inspiration was here, what happened next after he knocked Pearson unconscious?" he asked and they nodded as Goldberg smiled and answered him. "Alright wise guy get down from there." he said and they all looked up to see him looking down at them from the deck next to the reactor with a smile on his face then.
"Nice come back, as we were the ones tracing him through the system, but using him as a way to get around you took your stealth training a little too far." the man playing Goldberg said as he started laughing at the playful tone in his voice at that. "I'll say but that's what I call using your stealth and survival training to the next level honey, nice work." Bundy said through her's gently and Wheaton smiled as he made a mental note to use this in the episode.
As he looked at them and Robin chuckled as she looked at him standing there. "Nice touch in distraction and division Wes, that was a good one." Robin said smiling and he grinned playfully and she repeated that to him. "Honey come on, get down from there." she said and he climbed down and moved to her and she pulled him into a hug and he tightened his arms around her, watching this, Jake and Dayton smiled.
Seeing them together it was clear to every adult officer in the room what they meant to each other. As they hid smiles as they saw her press her forehead to his as they saw the smitten look in his eyes as he looked at her, they heard a gentle response to that. 'Oh boy, it's finally happened, he's head over heels in love with her. Alright guys pull yourselves together, we have to focus.' Pulaski thought to that response softly.
"Well there it is, that's us." Ashley said to Wheaton and he nodded as she took his hand and he nodded as Eastman and Hallie chuckled at that. "Yeah but you definitely took being our star pupils a little too far, I know we were the ones training you, but I think we trained you a little too well here." Frakes said to that as he, Levar, Marina and Brent all started laughing at this and he nodded as they watched it gently as Bundy smiled gently.
As she hid a smile as she watched them together. "Well if we needed another reason to be relieved your heart was healed after Salia this just gave me the proof positive to that. As we were concerned over that ever since at the time, but this just made it clear that you moved on from her." Levar said smiling at this as he watched them together, just before he let her go and turned to them as he explained why it shifted things.
"I had to wait to get them out of the room, before I redirected the trace, that's not me that moved my signature out of the shaft, Lal did it." he said and they nodded, as Jenson gave him a hug then. Holding him, he felt him bury his head into his shoulder in response as he felt him shaking, in pain and anger and hid a sigh. As he thought it to him gently, as they heard his answering response to that reaction.
'Great that's exactly the setback we don't need right now, she's just caused him to suffer an emotional relapse here at the moment, wait till the quartet find about this, Beverly is going to kill her for this at the moment.' They heard with a firm growl at this and as he tightened his arms around him. 'It's okay, it's okay, you didn't lose me, shh, it's okay.' he thought softly to him as he let him go then.
"Yeah now I'm pissed off here, but one is bad, too over doing it, but all of us at once, there is no coming back from the damage this did." the woman playing Ro Laren said and Crosby nodded sternly in agreement to that. "And all of this started because of me, before the little runt made it worse by throwing his knack on him and if I survived the mind blast, I'd have killed the trio this started with for letting it out." she said and her double nodded sternly.
And as Jenson's double looked into his eyes, and seeing the look of love in his eyes toward him then firmly. "I don't know about you guys, but she crossed a line that our parents are going to kill her for, because to you, we're still kids and frankly, I've been homesick. And ever since I started having those dreams, someone has been screwing with my sleep cycles lately." he said and they nodded as he went further at that
"One year separation, it doesn't matter what they say, nothing's changed for me, I still need you guys like I always did right now. Realizing what she had in mind here, I wasn't considering either choice or the third at the time last night. Our conversation on the bridge last year was part of it but the last six months. Whoever's been screwing with my sleep cycles has me seeing this."
"As if this was a movie, only far more real right now as my dreams are as bad it gets, but dealing with the real thing. It's too much right now after what we've gone though together. Though at the moment she's just made me even more determined at the moment after what happened last year. When he and I were on that planet at the time." he said and sighed as he went further at that remark.
"It's pretty clear she never understood why you guys succumbed that fast at the time and with that in mind right now. It's also obvious she doesn't understand a thing about earth human ways now, if I've humiliated her on that fact, if that's the reason you've been at half strength since I left at the time. She doesn't understand what it means to be parents or mentors on earth."
"Because of the ship was earth-born humans, this was part of our lives, but 3.5 years being raised. And trained by the 20 of you, it was bound to leave its mark on both of us. That's the problem for mom, she had no other children and I'm an only child and for you guys, and the sextet's parents, I was your prize pupil, adopted son, having to let go was getting harder every day for both of us."
"And she's not understanding that, or why you've been acting like this since I left at the time." he said and Jenson nodded. "Yeah that's an understatement right now, this woman clear doesn't understand that when raising a teenager. That sometimes the friends connected to said teenagers parent's feel like parents themselves. When they helped raise the said teenager for several years now at the time."
"At the current moment right now though, this was just enough we all were ready to kill when we saw what this was doing to you that afternoon. And when you just freed us, but you were right the second we got the entire thing and she was going to jail for this." Jenson double said firmly to that as his double echoed that opinion firmly. "I'll say, 3.5 years together, we watched you grow into who you are, son, and with that."
"If she thought she could get away with this, she'd better think again, because nothing's changed in our bonds too and the way we look at you, you're still my favorite student kiddo. And she's just completely ticked me off now, though I have two of you now, it's still enough to realize. That three of you is more than enough in our case now and all Cubs with the exact same personality traits."
"And with that in mind here now you Cubs need to take it down several notches, before you scare us into a heart attack right now kiddo." he said and he smiled. "While I'm on the subject, why the heck is Derek on duty, Dave?" he asked and they sighed in exasperation as Robin answered that, bemused. "You know Derek?" she asked and he nodded in exasperation as he exchanged looks at that.
And with the other veterans. "Yeah I do and he's one of the shoot first, ask questions later category at the moment, which is why he ignored direct orders that night. And when the adult crew all gave the same order here, but that's a hotshot for you." he said as his double finished that remark as Picard crossed his arms sternly. "Yeah I know him alright, he's the source of the rumors you heard, the guy is a total jerk."
"The sextet and the team here reprimanded the quintet that landed me in the E.R. when the doctor here was our CMO. To them, they prefer kids like us in training, our personalities, we're model student officers in their eyes. But the quintet and Derek, they're part of the clique that he created. When someone in sickbay dragged up my bonds with the captain." he said and then said it gently.
"But I was their first now and you two were next, along with Jake, were you guys, you and Charlie, also like me?" he asked her then and she nodded to him smiling as she answered him smiling at the question then gently. "If you mean being raised on ships and in on the job training from a certain age. And earning credits by doing it for real, our instructors like your godfather, than yes."
"Captain Desoto allowed that with Charlie and Captain Renfield the same with me, so that makes three. And I guess that Jake was the same way after you got it then, Charlie's family ended up on my ship when we were ten. And before his father got assigned to the Hood, but that was when we were fifteen at the time. That added truth, I'm disgusted that Nick would stoop so low."
"In trying to keeping you away from us at the time." she said and he nodded. "I take it there's more to that remark than you're telling me, if you're Charlie's best female friend?" he asked and she nodded as she went further as she explained it to him. "Let's just say that the movie version of that other Heinlein novel came to the fore right now, because he never learned his lesson at the time."
"I was in technical, he was command crew. Charlie was command crew, but his specialty was in every science you took, but Charlie's been my best friend since we were Cubs a little older then Alex is. It's the added jealousy of losing the girlfriend to her childhood best friend at the time. He never learned his lesson and made another at the time after he and Jean got together."
"And I told him, with Charlie and me graduating six months ago, it was time to break it off and that it was best for both of us now. Because the two of us were getting deployed, and I was going career and our assignment was being chosen soon. And that wouldn't leave any room for us at the time with him being in training still, and he lost his temper after seeing Charlie move to my side."
"His words were an exact replicate to what the narrator told his ex girlfriend. But that sums it up now Wes, you're my type now, I choose you." she said and he nodded to her as his eyes narrowed in anger at the news as he answered her at the news gently at that. "He's driving me into exhaustion and it's because he never learned his lesson, regarding the most important part of relationships."
"Mom would say that to prevent the relationship from fracturing to put things on hold and rebuild till you were back together and the blasted idiot never did that?" he said and she nodded to him. "Not your fault honey, he did this to himself, but if I'm who you chose there's no use fighting over it now. Aside from that, the jokes about to be on him at the moment, if you're the reason."
he's kept me segregated from everyone else, well looks he's getting the shock of his life now, as to why I'm saying this at the moment. Did Brand ever say where she was sending you after you deployed, if he was in earshot and you guys were waiting for me to join you?" he asked and she shook her head. "No she didn't, this was a surprise she set up for you, she saw what was going on."
"And decided to help both of us by getting you away from the squadron for a while. But I take it Derek wasn't like us, he was a jock officer, like whoever these guys were that the chief and the quintet here laid into?" she asked and the sextet all nodded to her gently at that. "No Derek and his parents were added to the crew three years ago at the same the doctor and the quintet were."
"But he over heard the conversation three of mom's team made regarding the virus, and here's where it really gets crude now. But he, Marks and their friends made up a rumor the captain and mom were having an affair. And I got in on a case of quid pro quo, in the sexual sense. That's the rumor he spread to his college age versions of himself." he said, shaking his head as he went further.
"At the moment I don't have to hear the words, though I spoke to Anthony and Jared up in sickbay. And Eric in my apartment, and with him was Jack Davidson and they filled me in on what he did this time. But here's the scope of it now at the moment, after I busted him for the rumors he created about my bonds with the captain he got arrested for speed-balling, like 4 months later."
"He got arrested a second time for not watching the Potts brothers, and a practical joke. That nearly resulted in a deadly conclusion, but whatever he did this time. It's he blown his tuition after getting arrested again and has to work his way through school. And his parents are on sabbatical at the moment, so with that in mind here, and truthfully now he's a very fresh recruit."
"If we were the characters on that martial arts trilogy movie series, I'm playing the protagonist, he's the antognist and you're the love interest. But here's the catch now, Charlie and Jake are both sides of me as Jake is still up here and in training. Our parents all shared the same factor and it's they allowed us to be involved here in on the ship politics." he explained to her gently at that remark.
Going further he told her the truth. "Derek is a recently activated training ensign, with next to no experience and the first rule to situations like this, right now. Was when it came to situations like what we're dealing with right now, our orders were to protect the Cubs and leave the dangerous pieces to the adult crew. Derek's grouping are all the 'shoot first, ask questions later' type."
"But that's what the crew trained me to do, but 'look before you leap', Derek and his friends, the quintet they ejected, never do that. He's also a hotshot in this, and to repeat Jenny's remark, while he's busy piloting the damn ship. I've got the dangerous job of protecting our surrogate baby brothers and sisters from a homicidal soldier who, once he has a phaser pointed at him."
"Starts going berserk and he's running amok in the halls, but he's a novice in training. And with absolutely no field experience, not in our way, he was attempting to arrest me last night and got arrested by Data, for reckless endangerment." he said and she nodded in disgusted shock at that. "Wait Jake, as in Jake Kurland?" she asked and he nodded as he smiled and told her the truth.
"Yeah, Robin, he's my other best friend, but we're a younger version to dad's squadron now, but you finished our team now." he asked and she smiled as Gregory crossed his arms smiling and nodded. "Yep, Senior gamma squadron, we're junior gamma squadron and just like our adult counterparts, we're inseparable now at the moment." Jake said and the adult quartet exchanged bemused smiles as Will said it for the entire quartet.
"Maybe, but you better cool it with the close calls, before you scare us into a heart attack next kids and I'm serious right now, once was enough. And again Wes, stay out of the Jeffries tubes after this got worse during the start to finish now." he said and they nodded to him then as she answered his question then gently. "Well that's the four of us, Jake is still under control, but he followed orders last night."
"I was here in the engine room, when the commander ordered Derek back to his quarters, before he and Charlie got into a fight over the radio and Porter ended it. But the only members of the junior crew who were supposed to be on duty, before that thing hit the ship were you, me and Charlie and he broke orders last night as a result, to that the captain, and the quintet."
"Once they hear this are going to be ticked off that he broke orders, because once started, we'd never break our carefully planned strategy." she said and he nodded in agreement to that. "No Data freed my friends, and they're all from the SGC legacy, aside from Jake, and Jake was with them. I spoke to him this morning, but time to tell them the truth." he said and she nodded to him gently.
"The reason for that reaction, is because we met at the academy, my ex is fixated on the fact that Charlie is my boyfriend. But I belong to Wes, he's my new boyfriend, we've been together for three months. Just before Brand sent Charlie and me here." she said and they nodded. "Just hearing this was a real relief to us at the moment now, after Salia at the time." Jenson said, smiling and he nodded.
"Should have seen that coming right now, after Salia, but I take it this was..." Pulaski started to say and they nodded as he answered her smiling then. "Added reminders I don't need over the allasamorphs Doctor, but frankly. I'm glad you came back, I still need you like I need them." he told her and her eyes gentled at that as she hugged him and he tightened his arms around her as she answered him.
"So from Salia, to Susan to Robin, but this time you found your exact match at the moment here." Pulaski asked and he nodded smiling as he answered her as the eight officers exchanged relieved smiles. "Yeah it's happened, she's my soulmate, the one I belong to." he said and they nodded in relieved happiness. "But yes that's what happened last night alright Wes, Derek went looking for you,
"And bumped into me, and I reprimanded him, before I arrested him. And sedated him, before getting to Dr. Anenzi and the medical staff, before getting to ten forward, and I filled them in regarding why you're leaving clues regarding these things. And hearing from my daughter that his communicator was wandering loose in the hallway, it meant he was attempting to arrest you."
"And I arrested him in response, but we had two more, in secondaries in the added back up programming on that thing. Two flip outs, regarding secondary reactions, but no one else had a reaction yet, though I think that's because we're too used to this right now." Data told him and they nodded. "Just hearing he was walking around armed was enough to irritate us, but hearing he was drugged."
"Well that did in our eyes after arresting Marks once too often at the time now in this case, but this why we took charge right now that night. Just to arrest him now, as Davidson, Porter and I arrested him, though the duo were staying put. When in the Crusher's apartment that night, Captain." Data said and they nodded firmly. "And I can't believe he even tried this either." Will said in annoyance as she said it for him.
"You arrested Derek, was he armed when you did that, Beverly said no weapons?!" Barnfield said and he nodded and they nodded with a furious look at that. "I'd consider that downright psychotic and completely fool hardy right now at the moment, he's a rookie, a cadet, not a full officer." Bates said with a stern growl to that. "Damn fool, if it wasn't you and Data he'd ran into, but your inspiration."
"That could get him killed or turned into a hostage, looks like he's trying to get their attention back on him. Just to back on their good side right now." Robin said and he smirked dangerously at that remark as Jake quoted the remark with him then. "Yeah well don't count on it, our parents and the adult crew specifically told us when it came to the dangerous situations leave it to them."
"The three of us may have had three to five years field experience in on the job training, but when it comes to the completely dangerous situations, like what we're dealing with right now. Just leave it to them, unfortunately none of us had a choice in the matter this time: you, me, Lal and Charlie. The adult crew was compromised, so us junior officers, under Commander Data."
"And now Dr. Pulaski are now the ones running the show till the major hot spots are clean." he said and she nodded to him then. "Alright so why was the system in here going crazy last night, because it looked like an invisible hand punched the panel out of the way, before the isolinear chips started getting yanked out of the panel last night." she said and he smiled as he answered her.
"The first piece was the Polywater virus, that was the panel and the forcefield, second was the Iconian computer program, and that explains the Turbolifts and the last was the Nanites, which explains the sequence the systems started getting yanked. Senior staff crew orders, but the only ones around for the forcefield and the control room are Lieutenant Shimoda, the Commander."
"And Commander MacDougal Robin." he said and she nodded to him. "One swift warning to her by turning it into the stun setting on phasers. That was the added catch, get too close and you're going to knocked across the room. She doesn't understand what everything I've been doing means. And the reason being it was because they buried it deep enough to protect me right now."
"And the latest one happens to be the manhunt and that's why the duo left the room, they were the ones who arrested him that first time. But to put this bluntly now at the moment, that force-field I created was to keep the infected out of the control room until they got the cure. So we had no one screwing around with life support or the transporter room systems, the environmental.
"And the shuttle-bay controls, because we had hull breach of the escape hatch was blown that could kill us. So I created it, and then used it to save the entire crew by turning it into a tractor beam at the time. But that's what they blocked out, in fact everything I did is apart of those 3.5 years. But the one focused on being in here and the areas that those decoy phasers, the staffs."
"And faked explosion were in, they were part of my inspiration in this, I can tell you later, but to the duo now that the guards haven't had any luck. And in trying to catch me, it's they're now doing it themselves and frankly she's getting irritated." he added and she nodded to him. "So who was this guy if he was the inspiration for Wes's playout?" Dayton asked and a image of him appeared on the screen.
"Thanks for the help man, we owe you big right now for teaching Wes that many ways to keep from getting caught until the last minute, thanks Roga." Bates said, looking at the man that came into their lives 18 months prior and the seven nodded in relief and gratitude then. "That's why they left the room, your inspiration in the manhunt, was connected to those floors?" she asked and he nodded to her gently at that.
"Yes and we all forgot he downloaded that program into our terminal, but the tractor beam, that was downloaded into the computer in the control room over there. And the forcefield was meant to keep out the infected till they were given the cure, but everything we talked about last year just hit the table. I knew that computer program was going to come in handy, but I wasn't expecting that."
"A total of thirty aces up your sleeve Wes was a bit too much pal, because this is ridiculous right now." Jenson said with a bemused smile on his face and he nodded. "So just who the heck knocked the panel out of the way to eject the chips last night anyway?" Robin asked and Data answered that to her gently. "I downloaded my daughter into the computer mainframe last year."
"To get the ship grounded she dug into past memories and that panel with the control chips was the one connected to helm console on the bridge. So she pretended she was standing here physically and removed the panel, before taking out thirty of the chips." he said and she nodded as Wesley switched subjects. "Everybody okay?" he asked and they nodded as they looked at him gently.
"Yeah we got the message you were telling MacGregor, but I wasn't expecting you to resort to that just to protect yourself from him, what's wrong exactly. Because actually going to that maneuver told me that you're more afraid of him then us if you locked the door into the entrance tubes. And set up a second on the door of your quarters, let alone Data's." Goldberg asked him gently at that.
And as he rested his hand on his shoulder. "I suppose you seen the sextet crowded around the guys when he's around?" Wesley asked and they nodded and he sighed as he explained it to them. To them, and me, it's like our personal boogieman is now on the ship and we're scared he's here to kidnap us." he said and they nodded as they exchanged worried looks at that remark as he said it.
"Radue, you panicked because of him, the second you heard his voice?" Jenson said sharply and he nodded. "With him now involved in the search, it's not Radue, but just as bad right now. I don't know if he's in league with her or not, but both together." he said and Jenson nodded to him. "And that was enough to piss us off as his meddling nearly causes an injury." O'brien said and Jenson nodded firmly to that.
As he pulled him into a hug and he buried his head into his shoulder as he felt him lean his head against his shoulder and he rubbed his back. "Well don't worry now that we're back to normal, he's not getting near you kids anymore." he said as O'Brien finished it. "I think she crossed the line here because she's just caused him to revert to his second year of training at the moment regarding this situation."
"If he's reacting like this with us Dave." Barnfield said and he nodded in agreement as he held him. "Not exactly, it's the fact that after 4 years, he gets a memory of his hostage situation and of the kids, my son is the one suffering stockholm syndrome. While he's resisting passive aggression with passive resistance now. And is waiting for us to break the forcefield and getting them back up here or us down there at the time."
"And he doesn't have time for a flashback." Bernard said with annoyed growl at the memory as Pulaski nodded to that. "It's not the 2nd year of training, but the first when I was here at the time, the trio are still infected. I'm the only one left who was around for that panic attack. She's just caused him to return to his 15 to 16 year old self emotionally regarding this, but between both together."
"And I'm really ticked off now." Pulaski said to her with a growl. "So who was the little brat Data sedated last night exactly?" she added and he answered that with a firm growl in his ton. "The source of the rumors you and Erica were speculating about when his system crashed that year. It was after Wes explained to us why he lost total control over this situation that he revealed to us."
"That Colin Marks was the catalyst and Derek Hanson was the source of said rumors regarding his and the captain's connection. The derogatory nickname they've been calling him is the same as the ones they called our counterparts in the 20th to early 21st centuries. And the damn idiots are suffering a psychosis regarding it and not wanting it to be anything but what they think it is."
"And he dropped the bomb after Hanson's irresponsbility nearly killed Billy Potts last year. After a practical joke nearly took a deadly turn." Jenson said and she nodded in disgust at that. Said over reaction, is I'm his coach, but the six of us together were the ones he spent the most time with, before. And after you arrived, which is why he waited till after Data freed us, before he dropped in."
"So we could talk regarding this at the moment." he added as he let him go and looked at his hand and then into his eyes. "I take it you had to make it look real last night if there's a scar across your palm here, son. Because the shrapnel was all rusted after the explosion, and you needed a tetanus shot for this?" he asked and Wesley nodded as he looked between the sextet and Pulaski as he answered him.
"Yeah, the shard that was left on the table was the alibi to why I headed for quarters in the first place here at the moment right now. That I had to go to stage acting to get your parental instincts to start going crazy, though in truth, it's the exhaustion, hunger and fatigue was enough here, last night. But not realizing I walked right into T-95, before I grabbed the two."
"That he found sitting on the table, but my exhaustion was so bad that I barely missed landing on a piece of it for real, in both spots and I remember what your remark was regarding that. But considering this was likely going to mean a severe recharge and decided, before I did anything else, I had to get a better look at them, to know whether or not they were."
"And I headed for my apartment and quickly yanked the medical equipment needed and started on this. But to prevent a real infection I had to use the vaccine in my mom's cabinet here. Because those two shards sitting on the table were rusted and I was due for my booster anyway. So I took it myself and then did the added improv to cover a reason to why I came in there
"In the first place, in addition to my supplies , but this and the one my leg were for the act and everything else was improv. So I had her think I was really wounded in the middle of this and made it look like for you to have your parental instincts acting up right now, that I really did land on a few pieces. Though at the moment, this keeps up and it's not this laying me out.
"But sprained joints." he said and she repeated that in shocked disbelief as Robin looked at his uniform. "You keep this up and none of us are making it to our next birthday at this rate buster. Because so far it's gone from careful planing and straight to getting reckless in the next few scenes, but come on. You got this far, there's no need to push us further than our hearts can take it here." Kyle said in response to that bemused.
"Both, Porter said your trousers from the thigh down were soaked in blood, you mean to tell me. You barely missed landing on the shrapnel, before you got to your apartment. Alright so vein/artery healer, laceration healer, skin knitter, in that order, and you replicated the units in your blood type. To make it look like you had collapsed in the tunnel and landed on several pieces of shrapnel."
"And in there?" MacDougal said in shock then and Beverly covered her eyes. "Well I'm relieved you guys are taking charge with me indisposed right now. But the crash landing was enough to get our attention in there and my heart skipped several beats. When I realized what he did this time to break the control her CMO had on me." she said to that and the girls nodded bemused as he answered her question gently at that.
"Yeah, but if this gets any worse, it's not these injuries that lay me out, but the possibility of sprained joints and muscle spasms that are going to do it." he said and she sighed as she answered him. "You keep this up and none of us are going to make at this rate, because we had enough scares regarding you over the last four years. And this took it to a level that's going to cause heart failure if it gets any worse."
"Especially in my case after you barely missed being killed by the cave in and I took it for you, before you left for school at the time." Stewart said in answer to that for him and she nodded. "At the rate this is going the rest of us are not going to make it if you keep this up, we've had one too many scares regarding you, now take it down several notches will you please." Macdougal said in answer to that firmly as they sighed.
"At the moment, it's several cases child abuse, reckless endangerment, and two to three other things in addition to this. But if this next sprains my ankle or worse and mom's going to kill her. Because she barely caused two near fatal injuries had I not done things and stopped in that tunnel. But near case of tetanus, and the next is possible sprained joints, but I had to wait for him.
"Before I could tell you." he said and they nodded. "Did you have another one, before you got down there to meet us, because you were soaked in sweat?" Goldberg asked and he shok his head. "No it's just the amount of exercise I got from from running up and down the ship, it was draining the latest level. But it hit me right after I did end up in the shaft, but I was on the floor when it did." he said and they nodded to him.
"And now that we are back to normal, I'm just saying this now, but nicely done guys, you're doing beautilfully at the moment in this. Data, how many, in total, got released on the ship last night, before you hit us, because we've got 130 people in here right now. And I need a swift headcount so I can pass that to Beverly and the captain after they're freed." O'Brien asked and he explained that.
"In total from every room there were 230, I got to Porter and Davidson as well, so that's close to 265 now." he said to him and Picard nodded. "Yeah get to the team needed for that now and while he's continuing to play decoy. The guards all get released as it's down to the senior staff crew and in the end the junior crew. And under the leader of my third in command wins." he said with a smirk on his face and they nodded.
"So of 1,445 people on board, 360 are released from the brainwashing at the current moment. If you did us next, it's because you needed our help to get that cure into the computer so we can hit everyone all at once." O'Brien said and he nodded to him as the trio sighed at the remark then gently."Well this should be good right now at the current moment." Colm said to that and he nodded sternly in agreement to that remark.
"Wait a minute unless..., right of course, after leaving my transporter terminal, I was in the control room, when Brent came in there at the time." Colm said and he nodded and he smiled in relief at that. "Yeah we do need that, with being the primary members that are mechanics and computer programmers. That's what I need most now, as the code phrase given out is enough you take charge here at the moment".
Giving me enough lead time, to keep it going and to hit everyone else, before she realized she's been had. But that was the plan, I keep her busy, and now Robin is taking charge of the system while you guys are getting into the computer. But the girls, Charlie and I got this as you got the software download right now. The mission started with Robin and me and Charlie had my back." he said and the crew nodded.
"Great, with the fact we're next it's we've got the hard part in slowing them down once this gets started a second time at the moment." he said and Wesley sighed. "No I got the hard part in this by keeping them and the guards out of the room while you're doing this." he said and they nodded. "Yeah keeping us from checking and trying to get another on them right now." Frakes said with a sigh at that as he answered that.
"Well that's one piece, but Eric gave us the description of what was in your first aid kit baby, caffeine withdrawal?" Barnfield said and he nodded to her. "It's not what you're thinking Jenny, ever since Geordi's getting turned into an assassin, I have been having repeated nightmares about you guys, to block it out." he said and she nodded as he explained it further to them gently at that remark.
"All this week I've been trying to keep it hidden, with everyone infected or about to be. And evidently she was trying to catch me in the act, because that's what set off the emergency alarm last night." he said and she nodded as Jenson said it firmly. "If she really expects to get away with this, than she is out of her blasted mind, we have severe laws against this after the renegades did it to several kids."
"We've seen them use kids when it came to our grandparents, but now they're trying to get it on a quartet of teenagers just to get it off the ship, don't think so." Jack said with a stern growl and Jenson nodded as he quoted his remark to that statement. "She knows, if those pills or whatever are part of her plan your mother is going to kill her when she's back to normal." he said with a furious growl at that news then
As the engineering crew exchanged furious looks then as Robin switched subjects, as she thought over what he just told her about Hanson. "As for those rumors, I'd never buy that crap anyway, for us half and half. We wouldn't buy that crap anyway and trace it back to the source and go right to the victim. Of said rumors, I take it these idiots are the all jock type at the moment, let me guess."
"They were his kind and after he got caught, he got arrested twice, before he blew his tuition and scholarship and now is training in on the job training?" she asked and they nodded to her gently. "Yes that's it exactly Robin, Derek was a recently activated on the job trainee, of just five months just before you and Charlie arrived, but we took an active interest in Wes's training."
"From the time he was fifteen and Derek was getting jealous about that, Wesley was our first in on the job training job training. And we quickly saw how good he really is, after Derek and his parents as well. As his college age friends arrived, Wes was in the job the training, and earning credits by doing it for real. But we preferred his personality, and yours, Charlie's and Jake's."
"All of you were the half soldier/half scientist, but you don't use weapons, instead the only weapon you use is your mind. In truth that's the most dangerous weapon there is, that you can think your way out of the box, and you're doing wonderfully right now working as a team too." Jenson said to her and she smiled as as Wesley smiled as he looked at Her to explain that.
"Just one of me is fine, but no more than two at the moment or that diminishes me, and Charlie. And in more ways than you can possibly imagine at the moment, though Derek is like his college age versions of himself and the commander. By that I mean Dave here, was just promoted to lieutenant commander at the time Derek and the quintet arrived."
"Dave made Lieutenant Commander at the same time Commander La Forge had. But I became his favorite student, because after the catalyst that this started with at the time. He and the rest of the team started training me in working here in the engine room. But the reason he's been acting like this, is because his friends were ejected from the ship, and it's because of a violation."
"That Dave laid into the leader of the group about it after he tried to start a fight with me in ten forward last year." he said and she and Pulaski looked at him in shock. "Just what happened to cause that exactly?" she asked and Jenson crossed his arms as he explained that to her. "Close to 3 years later, I'm not surprised you need that information right now, Kate, because this was a serious offense now."
"But even back in the late 20th to early 21st centuries, any adult officer that attacks a child or a cadet, doesn't deserve to wear that uniform. And this crossed a serious line too." Jack said, crossing his arms then as Jenson answered her question "Aside from outside influences, we had Sarek here and he was suffering from Bendii syndrome, which evidently interacts with any type of substance abuse."
"Remember your remark about how the jealousy would eventually shift from jibes and insults to shifting into full violence mode sooner or later, Kate?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah I do and I take it did now, huh?" she asked and he nodded to her. "We're lucky we were not on board the ship at the same time Sarek was, or we would get hit by this syndrome as well and Dan would go at with my brother, if this was us and not them."
"And in addition to his trying to control his own grouping, you get Wes and you're trying to arrest these guys, before someone gets put in Sickbay next. And for a fatal or near fatal injury." Jack added and they nodded to that."Yeah, but the captain and Beverly specifically forbid drinking when on duty, especially with Sarek and his party on the ship, no one was supposed to be drinking more than two."
"And with these guys being no older than 25, they crossed the line between healthy and going into a drinking binge that night. After the six of us, Geordi and Wes got into conversation over what the heck was going on around here lately at the time. The leader of the group was Marks." he said and she looked at him in shock as she answered him gently at the remark then as they nodded.
"Marks walked into sickbay when Will was standing over him and was in shock at the way he was acting. I saw the fear in his eyes at the way Will was treating him like his son, so eighteen months later the jealousy gets worse, simply because Will decided to act the father?" she said and he nodded. "Yeah and he started a fight with him, and he wasn't just drunk, he was speedballing."
"And after telling him three times to calm down, we went to see what was going on, as with Data, let alone the duo, not in the room that left it to us now. After asking the question, Marks went off on me, and I warned him to cool down as Wes told us what was going on, before Miles ran his tricorder over him. And we got the results back as he was three times the legal limit."
"And needed to be in the tank, after warning him five times to calm down, his friend Henderson hit Wes hard enough to knock him into the table. And he hit the corner of it, head first and that did it for me. As we arrested them, but their entire clique was drunk and it took calling in back up. Just to get things under control, because that was the match that lit the fuse, and it was close."
"Before it reached the gun powder and exploded just as the commander and Worf walked into the room." he told her and they nodded in shock as Robin quickly answered him as she looked at Wesley. as she saw a small scar across his forehead and they nodded to her. "So why the heck is Derek trying to start something with Charlie, was it authentic or a duplicate?" she asked and he sighed gently to that.
"We arrested him once already, but then he clearly wasn't paying attention to my warning that he started anything with my students and one or them gets hurt. Then he loses his scholarship and has to work his way through school right now. Well he finally reached that point to get it honey, this was why I let him him have two months ago. But this is also why we all said we had all we can take of these repeated arrests."
"And over the substance abuse, Wes, hearing the reason why, took charge and ordered that they caught him in the hallway, to arrest him." Will said, echoing it gently and she nodded. "That was a duplicate of what happened 3 hours after the riot, and we arrested Derek for being drunk that night. But concussions and that syndrome don't mix, because the only thing Wes was on was the effects of that syndrome."
"But he provoked him into the fight, before Wes went to alerting us, that he needed back up. But what Charlie did that night, the night Derek nearly killed him, was a repeat." O'Brien said to her gently and she nodded. "Well that answers why Wes was furious when he heard the added information. So you prevented Wes from getting Charlie's injuries?" she asked and the sextet nodded to her gently at that.
"Said repeat was duplicated and I was the victim last time, but what happened to Charlie last month was a duplication of last year. Just with me: but same hallway, same wall, same panel, though I had a head injury, they prevented whatever happened to Charlie from happening to me as well. And by the commander calming me down, though I just barely collapsed as a result."
"As I said he's my godfather, so only he could do it, but head injuries are another way for the syndrome to affect you and as a result, the only thing I'm on. Are the effects of Sarek's loss of control while Derek was drunk and speedballing that night. Alright what the hell did he do to him exactly if they're beyond furious at this at the moment." he said as he took a deep breath then
"Let alone you, if Charlie ended up in my mother's care exactly?!" Wesley asked with a firm growl and she sighed as she explained that to him. "Lovely, it's a case of he wants the lime light, your attention and now me, but too late. As everything he wants Wes has it already and as a result, to you, the oldest cub gets back. And things revert back to the way it was months before he left." she said and they nodded to her at that.
"Blast it, how many times, just how many times have we said this we don't tolerate showing off, hot-dogging going by their gut instincts. Or they're trying to act like a hero, and definitely in the middle of a crisis, you want to make it on board our ship or anywhere else. Then rein in rookie and get that attitude under control or so help me god, you're being sent back for another 4 years, now that's enough!" Whoopi snapped and Stewart nodded sternly to that.
"Yeah you definitely took being your alter ego a little too far here." Daniel said to her and she nodded gently at that. "If you mean me as a nun, or me as Guinan I guess so, but I had enough of the showing off and Wesley is my favorite student, him and Stephan, as to that. I encouraged them in the way Patrick did, but this was a matter of I was sick of them trying to show off to get our attention." she said and the cast nodded sternly to her remark then.
"Yeah that's it exactly right now, just a week after he comes home and the emergency is done with and things return to normal, and we're all back to being ourselves again. Like he said oldest cub, we all saw him as a son in addition to our own children. In us officers that have a family of our own, and for the ones that were single. We wanted our oldest cub back as a result." Geordi said and she nodded as he hid a smile to that.
"And close to three weeks in since and already it's reverting to the last seven months of school in the high school program here on the ship. But come on everyone, I know you guys are all wired from having me home again, but pull yourselves together. And pay attention in class, before you..." Wesley started to say as they heard another explosion from the floor below them and the adult crew nodded with a bemused smile at that.
"What the..., alright who did it this time?" Stewart asked and the cast started laughing at that. "And before you break anything else in that lab, but guys pay attention to what you're doing in there, come on that's enough of that already." Levar said as he and the vast started laughing at this and they nodded, as they heard it echoed by his character and with a bemused tone, as he, Marina and Frakes started laughing as Geordi repeated that with his double
"Before you break anything else in the chemistry lab, well looks like they did it again at the moment here right now." Geordi said, finishing his sentence at the cut off as he, Will and Deanna started laughing at that. "Alright is anybody hurt in there?" Beverly said smacking her communicator and they heard Lieutenant Benjiman Fieldman answer her. "That's a negative Beverly, it wasn't the burners this time, guys, Sir."
"The chemical sequence my kid used this time wasn't supposed to be mixed at all here, not paying attention in class. The kids at the table next to them told me his partner checked the chemicals, and just as he was saying it. The mixture exploded the second the first drop of the compound ended up in the beaker." he said and they nodded with a bemused smile at the remark then.
"Ben you better call it quits in the lab, before the next explosion causes something to break the floor or the ceiling at the moment if it gets launched in either direction next." Bernard said in answer to that and knew he nodded as they ended the radio call. "Like you said, the last seven months of high school here on the ship. And it's turning into a free for all around here lately." Will said with a chuckle and Wesley nodded smiling.
"Yeah I agree with that, but it's clear the kids all younger then high school love you and they're having a field day with their surrogate big brother back." Whoopi Gldberg said with a chuckle and Stewart nodded smiling gently at that. "And like I said, pranks and practical jokes, we got the cats using the turbo-lift here, we got everyone not paying attention in class, this ship is turning into a 3 ring circus here." Will said and their doubles started laughing at this.
"We had Pola and Matthew in the conference room before we brought it to the Holodeck." Data said and they nodded. "Matthew and Pola, the kids I caught in there before we were dealing with our first encounter with the Ferengi?" Frakes asked and he nodded to him. "And that look on your face Patrick was hilarious during when we had all three parties on board, her counterpart empath." Hammond said and he started laughing and nodded to him.
"I was getting beyond irritated with these guys till John finally said it for me to the leader of the trio." he said and he nodded as Will and Picard started laughing at that remark and he nodded. "Yeah that's what I consider going too far in arguments, but they want to risk their lives then be my guest, as they learn the hard way on this." Levar said to that and Brent nodded as he crossed his arms in annoyance to the memory of that episode then.
"Well there's the issue of being a parent when you're surrounded by kids day and day out right now." Gates said to this and Frakes started laughing at that and nodded. "Parents or adopted parents and I was beyond annoyed with the Potts that day, and who the heck was supposed to be watching those two?" Stewart asked and Wesley pointed at Hanson and his trio and they nodded sternly. "Me, my grandson!" the cadet said and he nodded to him sternly.
"That's right Hanson, but this was why I was pissed, I was babysitting my brothers sisters, the sextet with me: Aldea, you had the Potts and Billy Wilcox." he said and he paled at that news and Stewart nodded sternly. "Well in our time the act of bad babysitting is enough to call criminal charges and have you sued for not watching their children here." Frakes said sternly and they all paled at that remark and he swallowed hard at that news.
