The Bonds Of Friends And Family
Disclaimers: The characters don't belong to me, the story belongs tome and every else belongs to the movie company and the creator.
Warnings: Sorry everyone, I had to make an alteration from the last chapter to his ending back in the tubes. So it's getting locked into four pieces, before we hit the high point. Between them arresting him once and his escaping before the stages. Between extension shaft and them getting him on the bridge and Data finishes it off. So I have to redo it, but the rest of the story is still there
So it's going to be back on the wall, just as soon as I finish this chapter and I complete thr next two chapters and get them up. But the added numbers are going to result in 15 chapters in the case of completion othe game and twice that for the first duty. As this portion of the story focuses on the Game, and the next one focuses on the aftermath to it and jumping the next Episode.
Chapter 31: The Reunion Part II: Medical Reports And Truths II
"He's your possible new rival for my hand, he's been asking me out repeatedly, since we arrived, but he's not my type, wrong personality at the moment. Charlie chose you, from the second we met, he knows you'd protect me. He and I were part of the same graduating class if you'd been with us. When we were at the academy, though thankfully you didn't at the time."
"But at the moment, it's the act of that Hinton novel now, he's the drunken rich kid, or just the act of that martial arts movie trilogy. That starred this guy, as Derek is acting like the bully of a black belt on the movie. So three movies in one, but they all point to the same fact, but Charlie and Jake. They're trying to protect me as I'm the female lead Charlie and Jake are the duo."
"That's including Macchio's character, if Harry or Mason had been in the hallway at the time and that's what scares me. Our job was to look after the kids, but he's too drunk to follow the rules and had the fight been anymore serious that night." She said and he nodded as he closed his eyes in anger at the news. "That was enough to tick me off now, ever since Aldea I grew more protective of the sextet."
"The boys were now 13, but Aldea was when they were 9, but this would leave them traumatized beyond belief if they were witnesses to a murder." he said, explaining it to the parents of his fellow hostages and they nodded sternly to the news as Bernard said it. "I really don't blame you for that, this crossed a serious line at the time right now, as you were the closet thing the kids had to a big brother, nothing's changed."
"And nothing ever would for us, you're still acting like a son to us six in protecting our children from anything now." he said as Alexandra's mother crossed her arms. "The attack would have traumatized the duo for life had Charlie been killed, yeah I get it honey and with that. We've been through one trauma with Radue, this, it's enough to scar my little brothers for life had that happened for real."
"Guys tell me you." he started to say and the sextet nodded. "And that was enough to completely piss me off right now, we prevented the injuries he had. And from ending up on you, but this time it did happen and with your surrogate twin brother. But this was enough I had to prevent his losing too much blood and we dragged Derek into the detox chamber." Beverly said and he nodded as Barnfield quoted her remark to him gently.
"Don't worry honey, we did, he ended up losing his scholarship for that, but your mother was furious. Because he ended up needing extensive healing in both arms and a blood tranfusion, because he barely killed him in the fight. Charlie's just as good as you are, and though he's not you, he's created his own place in our hearts." Barnfield told him and he nodded gently to the news.
"At the moment, had the four of us and Kate been your squadron that would solve whatever problems you had with Nick right now. But to switch subjects, if Derek is your rival I think whatever your remark was regarding Charlie. It's just got thrown at Derek instead right now Wes, as to why I'm saying that. It's because whatever Ensign Barnfield said about him, right now"
"It just landed itself on the table regarding his college age versions. And that would be it in this situation at the moment, but it was fate that you never met us till now, though if you and he become and became friends now, it's enough that once you go back I've got him to take care of me. But I don't want to be involved with Derek in the way we, you and me, are together.
"You're more my type and like I told you, it's enough to aggravate the adult crew if this leads too trouble later on at the moment. It's the 'shoot first, ask questions later' category here and everyone is getting aggravated at his behavior right now. Especially the adult crew, you're more my type, Wes, and your mother is going to agree when I say this at the moment right now.
"But I'm sure she'd approve now, of the fact that you did this without getting too reckless at the moment, but Charlie's my best friend and the three of us are the same type. He and I've known each other for seven years and though I love him, I don't love him like that. Aside from that, us waiting till after your symptoms got worse, and whatever's causing you to be looking like this,
"But doing research before we started, but your mother is getting sick of patching him up, because he keeps winding up with injuries." she told him and he nodded to her as he sighed as he answered her. "Well with them off the ship we can really come into our own, we're happy now, our quartet is a quartet for life now. But we're Gamma squadron for good now." Dayton said and the quartet chuckled then.
"So this is across between that Hinton novel and the novel focused on the good wizarding trio, he's just like me, but a bit more reckless in terms of it at times. But I'm playing the lead character, and you're my trio, but our personalities are in reverse, and you chose me. But you love him like brother, while Derek won't take no for an answer right now." he asked and she nodded in answer to him.
As they did the same and he sighed in exasperation at that. "Like I said everything my rival wants I already have it right now, but your attention, the best training instructors. And most of all in the case of first true loves is you, Robin, I am like the character on that movie series. The chosen one on that movie series if he stayed good like Commander Jackson is and was." he said and Daniel nodded smiling as he answered him at that.
"You're him as a teenager, I'm him as an adult, but Derek is him when hanging around Sidious and Johnny O'neill, that's Jack's cousin, is him. And when he turn into Vader and spent 11 years doing god knows what as Vader, son, just give me time to train you." he told him and Picard nodded to him. "Just do whatever it takes son, I'm not losing him to this traveler right now." he said and Daniel nodded to the orders then gently.
As he rested his hand on his shoulder. "The rest of the team were composed of non force sensitives if we were the characters on the second series. Then I'm Luke, Jack is Han, Anna is Leia, Teal'C was Chewie and Peter was Lando, Captain, as such right now. It's keeping it from getting out of hand around here." he said and Picard nodded. "Yeah no joke, a year of training my prize pupil right now and he's done beautifully."
"But we got the next 3 years from today to finish this and withnus in a time dialation field until those 3 years are up, he's stuck at the academy. As we jump over both episodes after Josh was killed in the explosion, while you and Sito change your futures." Geordi said and Sito crossed her arms at the news. "After this episode is done show me what happens from start to finish in that episode." she said and he nodded to her softly.
"We figured if we told you before the time was up and just after I figured it out, as he brought you on board and we told you. If you took Josh's place as his partner, that the added extra was instead of your probation being down there, you could do it up here. And learn what it means to be a true Starfleet officer." Picard said and she nodded. "Just hearing the consequences from him and you and offer you gave me, Sir."
"Yeah this would be worth going against the duo, but two came forward and the other two didn't, we get a chance to be under your command. And we fix our bonds with you making them stronger then ever, your trust and Admiral Brand's, Captain Deladier. That matters even more than the duo, duty to the truth is my only chance. And that is what I'll do, you're my captain, I'm not losing you." she said and he hid a smile to that.
"Terrific, so he's been trying to get you to start dating him, since he saw you, but Charlie and Jake had you surrounded till I came home. Till finally the latest fight nearly kills my partner out of a near fatal injury. Well I can see this is going to be a problem when he finds out that you chose me now. But the mind meld is going to get the venting needed so we can both recover."
"And he's obviously still holding in a lot of resentment and for whoever got him in trouble with the cops. If he did get in trouble with them, though the internal security contingent is just as bad at the moment. In Derek's case it's even worse in this and as to why I'm saying this at the moment. It's he's the 'shoot first ask, questions later' type and prior to my leaving, he got arrested."
"For speedballing, with the ethanol, last year and number two I'll explain later, but here's the scope of it now. But the captain gave him a lecture last year after he got arrested for not watching the Potts brothers. And it's not like life in the outside world here, as the ship is a flying colony and with that. Is my mother is part of the council, and the security is acting as the internal police affairs."
"When up here, he's hoping to make it into the academy by scholarship and being a pilot, but that's not all there is to it at the moment right now. If you want to make it up here or in life you better start paying attention in class and if you get in trouble when at the academy, or in college. And that's going to blow your shot, but two strikes hit before I left and here's the latest one."
"So strike three with the cops and he's lost his scholarship at the academy, and has to work his way through college right now." he said and sighed as he finished that remark to her gently. "But at the rate this is going it's enough that his take charge manner is going to be vented into this situation at the moment. But everything that we keep buried emotionally comes pouring out."
"When you get hit by that syndrome, as to that, expect this to get a bit vocal and near physical as he unleashes every amount of resentment. Or just by anyone who did the mind meld with the Vulcan that had it. And with that in mind right now, so the amount of resentment in him. And whatever slight jealousy he has, it's directed at whoever got him in trouble with the cops."
"At the moment, he's not talking about me. But the exchange between us tomorrow once we deal with this is enough to get your attention, but whoever he is, I have to meet him face to face. Because you graduated from the academy, just before I joined my squadron at the moment back then. Alright guys is he even bothering to get to know you right now."
"And I mean in the bond we have with each other?" Wesley asked and Jenson answered that. "No it's been four months and he hasn't bothered to get into conversation in the way we do, and did. And it's the professional relationship in his case and not the bond of true friends. And surrogate family we have with each other, son." he said, explaining it and he nodded to him as he sighed at that.
"Yeah I figured, he can't understand everything I do regarding your feelings at the time, as I know you better than you know yourselves, even programmed. And it's because of four years worth of bonds in friendship and you're practically my adoptive parents in the same way the sextet are." he said and he nodded as he gave him a hug and Wesley closed his eyes at that gently.
As he tightened his arms around his shoulders, before letting go then as she said it then. "That's the bond between you and the sextet and seven here, close friends and surrogate family?" Robin asked and they all nodded. "Yeah that's right, we were all here from the day of deployment. Dr. Pulaski met me a year later. But our friendship is enough I could turn to her regarding my training."
"And it looks like I have to do that now, regarding this, because the last time she saw me like this was three years ago. But the commander made it pretty clear, he and the others had zero tolerance. For whatever stunts and attitude Derek is pulling at the moment. In truth they prefer my and your attitudes here at the moment because I've been like this since we deployed."
"Though thankfully nothing is getting in the way of that now, as to why, it's because I'm a Starfleet officer here. And I'm doing my duty, but he's just a kid in their eyes. I'm an equal, but you guys. And I, just gave the show and experience needed to keep our color designations. Though you graduated ten months ago you just passed initiation into your color designation."
"You're now an equal like I am, Robin, to make it to that position it's by taking the initiative, working as a team and outsmarting the opponent. And if they possessed your own people and we just did that together now as to that right now. But I'm in command crew officers training, red, as is he, you're a technician, and you're in gold." he said and she smiled as he went further at that.
"And we earned the right to wear our uniforms now and we keep our colors, so two red and a gold. And we worked as one all night and this afternoon, and to them, and our parents. It's enough that they're going to be more than proud at the way we pulled this off once my mother. And the quintet, are back to be themselves again, because we just did what no recently graduated cadet."
"Or just activated cadet could do and it's thanks to working as a team and because we all had one thing in common. And it's we all share the same factors to us in this at the time. In truth if I'd gotten in at the same you did, this would have ended in the expansion, but my flunking the first try. Just saved the entire federation now at the moment, but we all share that same bond."
"And it's because we all got the field experience and we worked as a team now to pull this. But experience, teamwork, and patience did it now, but Derek blew his training lesson. He just started his training and he's a very fresh recruit to the ship. As to that in their eyes we're equals and he's a rookie playing with the big boys now." he said to her gently and she nodded as she got it then smiling.
As they nodded in agreement to that. "He's right, the fact you guys pulled it off in one shot made clear you were ready to go into advanced training. And you earned the right to your promotions and to wear your uniforms now, but this was mid terms. In crew evaluations and in your case you earned the right to your promotions now." Deanna said smiling and she smiled in anticipation at the news as Will smiled at Wesley at that.
"Yeah well we're not done yet at the moment we still have a long way to go here, Wes. And with that in mind whatever code you put into that programming, if it's aggravating the command staff, had to be important now." she said, and in answer to that the computer answered her as Lal created a avatar of herself. And so she could stand next to her team mates at that as the quartet exchanged smiles then.
"Truthfully I wasn't expecting this Lal." she told her and they chuckled. "Wes created a sentient program so I could control the entire system and he could call on me during this situation last night. Which as it turned out was a much needed situation with the fact that Etana Lol brought out your alter egos Ensign Lefler. He's advised me to follow orders given to me by you, the engineering crew."
"And Dr. Pulaski once you and the engine crew are back to normal now." Lal said and she nodded to that. "I got to get used to having you talk to me like this now, if this was part of it and with that in mind. How long has it been since he downloaded that program into your memory banks?" she asked and Lal explained that to her gently as they exchanged smiles at the memory then of it.
"It's been approximately 14 months, since our previous encounter with Lore. But to answer the unasked question here, is he's Father's brother. That last encounter was after Dr. Noonian Soong hijacked the ship. It was after implanting a homing beacon into Commander Data's memory banks. Last year, and he created and finished my new software as a result."
"So to prevent that or having any more hijackings by your alter egos, or duplicates, let alone anything else that could hijack me or my memory banks. And prevent the auto destruct from being activated while doing it. He created my sentient programming and the code he gave after he set up the final decoy was the access code to turn my programming on, last night at the time."
"And I've been active ever since, but it was emergencies purposes only, like this situation at the moment and with that in mind. Though the fact that if this isn't over yet. Commander, Doctor Pulaski I recommend you suggest to the trio to leave me on for another month like this. I can help find the secondary host if he's still on board the ship." She said and she nodded to that as she answered that.
"Yeah I remember this conversation, but like your father, he started sounding more human as the years went by, but the one thing he never did. It was by use of contractions in the conversation, that's how I knew I'd been hijacked. And by the Romulans last year during my birthday party, before I left for that mission at the time." Will told her smiling and she chuckled as Robin looked at him as she answered him.
"Let me take a guess, but Guinan, Lal and Ben were hosting it in ten forward and everyone you were friends with, that's including mom, Wes and the sextet. Were at the birthday party at the time, right." she asked and he nodded to her as they heard the next remark and refocused at that. "Why the heck are you sounding nearly human right now?" Shimoda asked and he heard a chuckle at that as she answered him then.
"If you recall that 20th century movie focused on a talking plant, my new software enables me to speak to you like you do now. But at the moment it's being like I always have been with you at the moment, Jim." she said and he nodded in bemusement as the team exchanged looks at the news at that. "Oh boy, well that means that getting insubordinate could cause a problem, but come on."
"We don't have time for wise cracks as the situation is half over and it's going from careful strategy and is about to start bordering on insanely reckless right now. You guys keep this up and you're going to scare us into a heart attack next. So take it down a few notches right now, would you please." Bernard said in answer to that remark as Pulaski nodded in agreement as she remembered the next remark.
"Well I can see that the captain is going to be driven nuts when you're talking to us while we're trying to get our jobs done and with that. Try not to get to insubordinate once we do this portion of the situation, would you please." Pulaski said with a bemused smile on her face at this. "Yes well you read my thoughts correctly when you said that Kate, it was after she told us that the software, now."
"Had turned her nearly human in personality traits that we made it clear, start getting insubordinate with us. And she's getting turned off and that's her time out, so while the quintet get sent to their rooms, she's getting turned off for that." Picard told her and she nodded and Wesley closed his eyes as he tried to keep from laughing at this memory. "Alright son pull yourself together right now, and lets get on with this, shall we."
"With it being two weeks it, and we got a while before the situation gets worse, depending on how long it takes right now." Will said smiling and he nodded as he relaxed at that remark as Barnfield shook her head smiling at this as she quoted that. "Oh my god, this is getting ridiculous right now, it's one thing in the middle of a normal situation. But this situation, it's gone passed crazy at the moment."
"And is now bordering on psychotic here, alright, alright, before you start getting ideas of trying to drive us further up the wall. Just wait till this is finished and reveal to them your added new touch this, would you." Barnfield said as she tried to keep from laughing at that and they nodded. "And that was something we'd forgotten thankfully, our memories of his planting that programming."
"Into the ship's computer at the time it was, before he left, before the academy last year was something we forgot by the time he left for the academy Robin. So with that in mind it's just another piece she didn't know and the list just keeps getting longer from there right now. And with that reactivate the clock, countdown on three hours exactly here in the engine room."
"Because the test isn't over yet, we have to get her to incriminate herself." Jenson said to her, then as he looked at the computer. "Wait what?" she repeated and O'Brien answered that remark. "It's time for a sting operation, with us back to normal now, he needs to finish this, but at the moment it's just getting her to incriminate herself now regarding him." he said and she nodded to the orders.
As she remembered the code he gave her as she gave the order. "Alright activate programme 324564725655835 gamma, execute." she said and in response the they heard a loud static burst come over the radio. "Engineering the computer monitor up here is getting a bit erratic, is anything strange going on down there." they heard from Picard and O'Brien quickly answered him at that.
"Negative Captain we're still trying to clear the podium of whatever he used to take control of the ship here." he said and he heard Geordi answer him. "Alright keep me apprised, Chief O'Brien." he said and he nodded as he answered him. "Will do." he said and they sighed in relief as Jenson exchanged looks with him at that remark. "It worked, well if she doesn't realize we're back to normal."
"Or that whatever code you just gave has activated in the system, she doesn't realize she's just lost control of the situation twice in 24 hours right now." Jenson said and he nodded in agreement. "Like I said, team work is the only way to beat an opponent like this, you jump too fast it's going to backfire right now at the moment and with that in mind, it's why this Chase has lasted this long."
"I've been taking my time and gave Data the time needed to hit the spots needed to break her control. But ten forward, the lounges and sickbay are clear now. And you're the latest, but lockdown both ways into the room, there's no going anywhere. And not until Data deactivates the programming on the sextet and the entire ship now, but here's the thing."
"What you just did Chief, they were acting like that too, to get past scrutiny and protect themselves now, act like you're still compromised. But Doctor, you better wear that headset, it's a mock up of the real one. So you can get passed the security teams here once you get back up there. And get to work with Dr. Anenzi, but to put this bluntly to make sure the quintet don't realize you."
"Or whoever came with you are aboard, I'm keeping it up in playing decoy while you get that cure into the computer and deal with damage control. Because if I know the duo, they dropped the act of letting the security teams look for me and are doing it themselves now. But get that programming into every computer screen, terminal and workstation on the ship, in fact now, Lal."
"Once the cure is programmed into your memory and is in the computers. Hit everyone working at a computer terminal, at every station that has it, block Dr. Pulaski from the sensors so she can get by undetected and with her whoever just arrived and Commander Data." Wesley said and she nodded to the suggestion then as she answered him at that as she looked at him gently at that.
"Nice move and to answer your question, Kyle was sent to tell the captain and Will regarding the added conspiracies and we wind up with another. While I was coming to report the added medical conspiracy to Beverly. But if all three are connected it's making sure we kill this first part of it. Before we deal with the rest, though if your health is now connected to it, if you look like this."
"And they're going to be furious at that and we've gone over this repeatedly as well, if the sextet are now compromised. Who knows regarding your health right now." she said and he nodded to her. "Data does, but she deactivated him up until Robin, Charlie and I figured out what the heck was going on around here. Jake never got his chance, because he got infected like the others."
"After the rendenzvous with her, I realized that I was now the required target she was trying to get a hold of. Because that thing spread like a wild fire around here, after a sudden pre emptive strike that was enough to throw her off. And I've been going on stealth for the last 18 to 20 hours since now. But four hours in the run around, seven resting for the night and five more."
"In creating several caches, before I planted the one that caused them to find me in the extension shaft. But that was on purpose to get them out of the room, so Data and you could hit engineering next. And I could tell you what the heck going on." he told her and she sighed and nodded to him. "So she prevented your chance at telling the quartet, including your mother and Jean Luc."
"In that remark, by getting to the duo and with them now compromised. They're about to hear this as you waited till now to tell them, when in actual fact 'she' just prevented your telling them that. And the fact that Kyle and I were coming to bring back added information regarding this conspiracy right now." she said and he nodded to her gently as he answered her at that remark then.
"Kyle, who's Kyle exactly?" Robin asked and he explained that. "My adopted grandfather, and a informer in the Federation, which is the reason he came back. He and Dr. Pulaski had known each other for years, so as a result it was a matter. Now, of getting the adopted family back together, before that virus gets into the federation." he said as his double finished that remark as Kyle crossed his arms as he explained that.
"Specialist Kyle Riker, he's dad's father, my adoptive grandfather, the last time I saw him was close to three years ago. And she was our CMO at the time, but it was after getting hit by the knack, which was a mind control technique the Selelvians have. But dad stayed, because of me and Deanna, she and he were together prior to meeting here at the time." he told her and she nodded to him.
"As for the doctor, she and Riker had a relationship before the transfer and dad turned it down for us at the time, but that sums it up right now. With her being part of the crew she saw me in the first, full, real year of my training. And at the moment the boneheaded catalyst that started that now too. But Derek let his envy and jealousy take hold and is about to get his comeuppance."
"Though we ejected the other five from the ship, because if Charlie is getting this reckless in his training. It means Hanson is at it again and I don't have to hear the words to know he's Charlie's catalyst at the moment." he said and she nodded in agreement. "You said the commander was your godfather?" she repeated and he nodded as he explained that further to her as the quartet smiled gently.
"Yeah mom named him and Deanna, Counselor Troi, my godparents, the captain knew my mother for 25 years and as for Geordi. Commander La Forge, he's a good friend, but she named the quartet my guardians when she left. But at the moment Dr. Pulaski doesn't need to hear that the nickname started up again." he said as Pulaski sighed in concerned aggravation as she answered that.
"You're right, I don't need to hear the words at the moment to know that the trouble just started up a second time, because if that did start up again. And heads are going to roll right now for it, because once was enough in this case regarding that in your case at the time, if Charlie Dayton is now dealing with it. Looks like you found another version of yourself now finally."
"And who can actually keep up with you at the moment, if Hanson is now aggravating him to know end right now at the moment. But we can discuss this later, but until then time to focus on the immediate problem. Thanks for the heads up Wes, so I take it you used Will's training in how to get in and out of a conspiracy undetected right now?" she asked and he nodded as he answered her.
"Yeah, but we decided on a bait and switch so I could find out who their programmer was. I'm just saying Charlie's remark right now, but at the moment it doesn't pay to let your guard down right now and if he hadn't it's not a trio, but a quartet that would doing this. And instead it results in her needing to play the bait while I'm busy playing decoy, and draining my reserves."
"But she didn't know where I was, because I didn't tell her the entire time we separated last night. And said I was dealing with it myself while getting Data back online and 'she' doesn't realized she'd been set up, the games have shifted from her control of this to ours." he said and they nodded to him gently at the news. "Out smart the opponent, you guys are working in this together."
"Her reaction wasn't genuine, it was staged?" Barnfield repeated to that and he nodded to her. "Yeah, part of a conspiracy, to keep from getting caught, play along, make eye contact and just relax. But she was acting the entire time that the commander, and you guys, busted her." he said and they nodded as she wrapped her arm around his waist and Jenson repeated that with a bemused skile.
"Wait a minute, she was playing the bait, so while she played decoy, you were getting the information needed. To find out who the conspirator was so you could do this, Wes?" Jenson repeated and they nodded as he answered him as he looked between them at that. "Yeah we evaded capture twice, and she decided to set up herself up for capture. But two counts bodily harm in our cases."
"As well as child abuse and the charges keep getting worse from there for 'her' now at the moment. But we were in this together from the very beginning tonight, Dave, as to that, Derek just flunked this particular test now, if something seems strange about the situation, ask questions. Charlie traced the pattern, told me and I decided on a test to catch her, in the act now."
"And we went to avoiding detection twice, but she broke ten rules in a conspiracy. And I nailed her in ten minutes, but Derek, just flunked his training test today and last night. And Jake if he'd been smart, he'd have joined us in the lab so we could work as one, get Data back on line. And the games have begun after that, so if Jake had joined us in the lab, that would do it."
"He'd meet me on deck 6 and it's I've got a partner helping out, but no. But he wasn't paying attention to things and the pattern, and he's just become the victim, like you have, Charlie watched my back." he said and the team all nodded to him. "Wait a minute, Charlie recommended breaking up the security teams into pairs last night, were you listening to the conversation in your quarters."
"When Eric and Daniel were in there?" Jenson asked and he nodded and he thought it over and chuckled. "I knew this was too easy, when you kept dodging us all night, but that just made it clear." he said as his double finished that, with a smile on his face then. "We've been had, Charlie's the plant, so one cub playing decoy, another playing the bait and the third playing the plant and it all comes together."
"And once all five hotspots are cleaned now, our little Cubs were working as a team last night and this morning to keep this up. And that last strategy, before the false alarms was when we were doing wargames with the Hathaway at the time. Nice touch kids you really out maneuvered her last night, but you better take it down a notch slightly here." he said gently to that as he went further.
"But at least you're not trying to show off to us and not in a crisis, you know better than that." he said and the duo nodded, smiling as the sextet exchsnged proud smiles at this. "No kidding, at the moment the kid is trying to show off to us and that's something you never did, and as the commander said, we have zero tolerance for that anyway and not when in the middle of a crisis too."
"Though at the current moment with the fact you've been jumping floors for the last 13 hours, this game, in her opinion. Is getting annoying right now at the moment." O'Brien said with a smile and he nodded with a chuckle then."I turned it into a game of chess, hide and seek and freeze tag with the scavenger hunt. To go with it, looks like she's not understanding the culture references.
"if she thinks I'm looking to attack her head on, because I'm not that reckless, in fact it's stealth and survival skills that have made it last this long. And it's staying that way till Data takes over." he said and the older man chuckled and nodded in agreement to that. "Choices one through three result in the expansion, choice four is a win, it's that obvious now and we know that."
"Though she doesn't, but Derek is going to see your choices in this as a waste of time though." he said and Wesley nodded to him. "Oh really, than why has the search lasted this long exactly, it's because every second counts. Before doing anything you have to carefuly strategize or you're going to get caught. And you do and it's game over right now, young man." Jack said sharply and he nodded to that in agreement gently.
"Derek, uh huh, yeah that's what a spec ops officer thinks, regarding us half soldier/half scientist. In these situations, but you jump feet first into it, and it's going to backfire on you. Every second counts in these situations, and pulling repeated reckless stunts wastes time and energy. And you need to keep yourself strong and focused, so if no access to sickbay is available."
"Go to an alternative if your parent is an M.D., create a survival kit and then create several more after you had a chance to rest and eat now. That's a true scientist/soldier's motive of dealing with these scenarios at the moment. But dodging the security teams and trying to get to ten forward, by the main hall, is a waste of time and energy and it's beyond reckless.
"I'm sticking to the tunnels and using my survival skills just to do this." he said and the man smiled proudly as they looked at him smiling at his advanced knowledge. "I knew we trained you well Wes, but that's exactly what the commander and Greyson are going to say when they hear this later. You certainly pulled it off, but with him being a newly appointed member of the crew.
"And he's just begun the simulations at the academy, we're going to have to explain this to him, but your quoting our own lessons to you now. It's enough he's going to lose his temper, but he's your exact opposite in training. While Charlie is so much like you, we feel like we're seeing you in your element when you were still here." he said and sighed as he finished that remark gently.
"To the point that watching him in everything you used to do with the duo is what opened up that scar, and I think you better talk to the duo once we finish this, you guys need to clear the air between you now. The captain and the commander miss you more than they know. But Derek, Hanson I mean, is more reckless, hot tempered and a bit impatient, you're more like the commander."
"And he's just like Ro Laren, so watch out for that." he said and Wes covered his eyes. "That's just great, he's a very fresh recruit assigned to on the job training, I'm an apprentice of three years worth of skill in on the job training and in his eyes. I'm the one who's arrogant, simply because I'm not getting that reckless at the moment, I once I free all of them, he's hearing your words."
"And in my voice regarding your opinions, because like I said back then, I don't have to hear your thoughts. And it's because I can practically read your mind on the fact that his attitude is something you, as the adult crew, has had enough of it now. And with that, you all have zero tolerance for showing off, hotdogging, going by his gut instincts or his trying to act like a hero at the moment."
"In the lab or the bridge. And definitely not when in the middle of a crisis, said crisis an incursion, or worse. Like the one she, Charlie and I are dealing with right now, though not quite single handedly here, but close enough in comparison right now." he said and he nodded in agreement to his thoughts as he smiled as he said it, gently ad he went over the clues at that remark.
"I mean: transporter room 4, turbolift 5, overloading phaser, you see the pattern as it goes down the line. Which of the ship's manhunts resulted in all of these as the pattern goes down the list. And from there: anesthezine, cargo bay 6. And I start playing around with two terminals in JP-C in the Jeffries tubes and I just did his tactic in reverse after the duo left the room."
"And I threw my communicator to add on to it while doing it, when this chase down started last night. Because without Data you can't find him, or in this chase down you can't find me?" he asked and O'Brien answered that question as he smiled as he said it. "Roga Danar, you decided on using every memory that we forgot against her and that's the reason the chase down has lasted this long."
"Nice touch son, though it's working, if they haven't realized it yet, they will now once you lead them on a case of misdirection. With the fact you're in here while you're getting them into the turbolift shaft was that part of the plan, reverse the ambush?" he said and Wesley nodded to him smiling. "Truthfully using a memorable manhunt like this was helping out." Will said smiling as O'brien nodded.
"Yeah that's it, turn it into a scavenger hunt and lead her on a wild goose chase, though that explains why the alarms keep going of this morning. But it's enough of the fun and games and time to get serious, because it's turned into a sting operation now at the moment. Because of the two of us, I'm doing this when I'm not fully up to speed and it's taking every ounce of skill."
"That I have to do this without getting arrested right now, as it is, just to finish this, the situation in your eyes went from irresponsible and right to reckless. But it's half done now, phase three begins now and it's enough to drain what's left of my strength in phase four, so get ready for that, chief. As we had this discussion already, last year." he said and and sighed as he finished that news.
"And I told you what the side effects of it were going to be if it lasted longer than necessary, but that's the problem, it's not you, but the new guy, the guard. That I'm afraid of right now, whoever he is, it's enough I'm staying out of sight, you guys, I know you better than she does, and I trust you with my life. Him, not a chance, whatever his motive for transferring here is."
"I bet it's part of her plan once we beat her in this round, but round two, that's what you've got to be worried about right now. And with those words in mind right now at the moment." he said as he looked at the man."I know you're annoyed at the fact I had to do this in the condition I am, but it's the only option now. But after this is over, I'm taking a sabbatical from the academy."
"Though with our conversation last year and our bond, and if this gets worse. I'm stuck at home anyway, because of the medical diagnostics." he said and the technician nodded as he answered him gently at that. "Thanks for the heads up son, we need you here at the moment. Though with you looking like this, it's better safe than sorry to prevent you from ending up in the hospital."
"Because you collapsed at the controls of your star fighter. Though with what we already discussed, I'm not risking it right now anyway, you're like my son, I'm not losing you right now." He said to him and Pulaski nodded in agreement to that. "Wait a minute Wes, why are you..." Robin started to ask and the older man quickly explained that to her as he got the underlying message Wesley gave him.
"I'm one of fifteen members of the crew, next to the sextet, he trusts, I was also involved in a survival training. And stealth exercise last year before he left for the academy. That test went on for two weeks and he created the amount of bags he did for this. But it's enough that I know him so well I could find him without a problem." he said and sighed as he finished his remark to her then.
"The added test was a slight scavenger hunt mixed with a bonding exercise. So he and the commander could test the strength of their relationship, just in case this went on longer than necessary right now at his week. I'd be able to find him and get him to relax if he was so exhausted he was on auto pilot. Though thank god he got rid of his phaser, or the paranoia is enough."
"He'd stun anyone who got near him. And especially if he's running a fever and hurt, and that's enough to worry the 13 of us as well. I'm just relieved that it didn't last longer than necessary or what you told us last year would be the result right now. As to that, let's just finish this and you can fill us in later son, okay, I'm guessing Data got me out of the transporter room."
"So you could do Maitenance on the engines before the games began, huh?" he asked and Wesley nodded to him. "Who's the new guy, the security guard, exactly?" he asked him and he sighed. "Lieutenant Laredo MacGregor, what's wrong exactly?" he asked him and he sighed as he swallowed hard as he answered him. "I get the problem, he looks like Radue." Worf said sharply and he nodded to hom
"Chief, those nightmares I had during my recovery from the flu were focused on 'him'. I tried five times to get us out and you in and I got arrested every single time. If this was the third film focused on that mental lunatic, he's the idiotic female counselor who's decisions resulted in what was left of the block. To be murdered, he's my version of her, while this guard, now."
"I think you already know the answer to that question, but guys, add the twenty years to his face, different set of clothes. And me back on Aldea, and take the four years off me now and the same goes for the sextet and there's your answer. He looks just like him, but as a younger version of him, every time he comes near us in the corridors, the sextet crowd around me."
"And Alex practically jumps on my shoulders every time, all in all it's enough that whoever he is, he's scaring the daylights out of the seven of us right now." he said and his eyes narrowed at that as MacDougal answered him at that as she got it. "That was the connection I needed right now, but 1) it's the fact he's still having flashbacks back to Aldea and secondly right now at the moment here."
"Is 2) the longer this goes on, and it could end up getting him hurt if he keeps interfering right now when we're that close to heading it off from ending up in the tubes right now." she said and Beverly nodded as she and Picard crossed their arms. "Radue, you been trying to stay hidden so he never finds you and this man is scaring you out of your mind. Why?" She asked him softly as he leaned against the desk podium.
"Hurt or possibly fatally injured if he loses his grip on the ladder and if that happened from seven floors up and he's on deck 2 to 4, that could break or blow something out. Though that happens for real, and nothing is saving him from my dragging his head in front of the committee later on, because he could have killed my son." Picard said with a low paternal growl at that remark and Beverly nodded in agreement to that.
"The nightmares came back and got worse, it's like he's my personal version of that mental lunatic. Or that counselor, just hearing the word sedative causes those kids to panic, that's what I feel every time I think about that planet now. They did enough damage to us, it's going to take years to get over it right now. Add that to what's going on now and and finally to top it all off is this, now."
"And here's why I signed myself up, so I could go on leave right now, because this was something I never told anyone. But combined with that, with those nightmares, are I've been having repeated dreams about you guys. About the amount of close calls you've had since I left and it's like I'm right there. On the bridge watching the entire thing." he said sighing as he explained it to them.
"It's as clear as I see you now, and those dreams just keep getting worse right now, but that sums it up in this. It's also the reason why I look like this right now, so two guesses, but you're only going to need one with that, Dr. Pulaski." he said and she nodded as her eyes narrowed in concern at the news. "If I was myself that's enough of a reason to call medical emergency here right now."
"Once you told me that as we ran a sleep test as we saw what was going on, as the next emergency say the next episode right after that. As you're watching this through whoever it was that it connected them to you." Beverly said sharply and Pulaski nodded in agreement as she listened to her past self as she said it. "Sleep deprivation and caffeine overuse and you're looking like you've been in detox."
"The last two months if you just gave me those pills, alright I'm telling Eli, and we're readjusting your regime, once your mother hears this. Though your mother is going to kill the nurse and your R.A. for not seeing this. And when we can if you look like this right now." she said and he nodded as he answered her at that. "Yeah that was my opinion when he told me this this at the time now."
"It could be the Devil's heart, that thought-maker or just having that character that killed the technician acting like a symbiote and he's the host, but whatever it is. It's ending right now as we disconnect whatever it is that linking you to whoever it's connecting you too." Pulaski told her and she nodded. "I don't suppose you read about the captain's encounter with the thought-maker?" he asked and she nodded to him gently.
