Chapter 32: Final Discussions, Planning And Redirects

"It's not quite the thought-maker, more like I'm the entity seeing everything that's happening to my mother and the rest of the crew, the sextet. Bates, Greyson, Porter and their teams, as well as you guys and through the eyes of a host. Whatever's causing this has completely dismantled my sleep patterns, and though I get one recharge, I'm seriously in need of the other."

"But thanks to the squadron, that is Nick Locarno, Sito Jaxa, and Jean Hajar. Josh Alberts is a career Starfleet born officer his father serves aboard the Hood, but the trio are just it making it worse. It's always about the damn squadron, and to be honest, I'm not even sure I want to be part of the team anymore, not when my added skills save even more lives." he said sighing as he went onthen.

As you got a demonstration in our first few weeks together, but here's the part that I never told them whatsoever now, but it's they can't understand what I feel regarding these dreams. Not in the way you can, being career officers and everything we've gone through together. It's like the kids in the third film, they can't tell anyone, but a fellow victim and they get the chance."

"And when the sole survivor of the original attack arrives, that how I feel, of over 900 cadets and personnel there, no one could ever understand this, my dreams. The stress of not being to tell anyone this truth, because they haven't gone through. What I have these last four years, in fact I was waiting for my leave to happen now actually." he said looking at the team and Pulaski gently.

"Because I knew if anyone could understand this, it's you guys." he said, looking between her to the engineering team and she crossed her arms. "Only true friends, a true team can understand this in how you feel, as we were with you for years, them. They were only for four months, so tell me who is going to with the test of loyalty later on exactly?" Will asked and Sito nodded as she gave a smile as she thought ahead to it.

Just as she was answering three people came in, and Picard went to attention. "At ease Jean Luc, and nice work Mr. Crusher that was really good in delaying them this long until you had the chance to bring Dr. Pulaski and Kyle up to date." Admiral Vance Haden and he nodded. "Aye Sir, but trust me right now, it just gets worse from here, this is why I recommended doing my remaining time from here." he said and Haden nodded to him.

"The committee sent us ahead to learn the level of this conspiracy and how close it was in Crusher's case, Jean Luc. But from the academy directors, to Starfleet itself and into the medical department, Morrison sent Dr. Pulaski. But all three departments needed a clear understanding here, as, like Daniel, Crusher is turning into the biggest asset. That we have in the next generation teams, and with him, Lefler, Kurland and Dayton."

"And Data's daughter right now, but it's clear that without more officers like them, we would never have gotten through this situation. But clearly they're just like SG-1, we trust them and you with our lives to pull this off right now." Haden told him and he nodded smiling at the news. "Well the entire thing with stage two is over, we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop as stage three kicks in at the moment right now here."

"Did the three of you and John just get here Vance, if you knew where to find us?" Picard asked and he nodded to him gently. "Yes, and double checking Maxwell's reasoning, I sent Desoto after Macet and he verified what you told us. Those cargo ships that Maxwell wanted you to board, had a ton of these headsets that Lol got on you. Test results came back as everything Crusher told us." he told him and Picard nodded in relief to that.

"Maxwell flipped out, but the piece that was driving him is and was the death of his family at the hands of whoever in the cardassian soldiers killed them. Though if Hammond did this conversation with Maxwell's grandfather it turned into the debate. That the captain had with our Maxwell, but this is geting ridiculous, but just like his counterparts, they specialize in chronic paranoia." Wesley said and they nodded firmly.

"One thing's for sure is you been listening to us way too much, but you're right at the moment son, we stay at DEFCON IV until we have to be ready for the struggle. Things these days you never know when the trouble starts, but that's why we keep the phasers on stun. So have the weapon and not need it, or need the weapon and be without, although having a game of hide and seek breaking out in the hall that day."

"I would call that going just a little too far in war games right now and this wasn't a wargame, it was a training exercise gone real at the time." Will told him and he nodded as Dayton closed his eyes as he tried to keep from laughing. "Yeah and the leader of the alpha unit in that tv show was a glorified genius in science studies. But taking this into the ship engineering and maitenance tunnels is going way too far here."

"But this went passed crazy and is bordering on insane at the moment that our opponent is having me using one good idea after another to stop these masterminds." he said and Jack started laughing as he answered him. "Yeah and if the second in command of the team would just let his mental muscles do the talking. Then the leader would never have given him that telling off at the time here, but that's me and John all the way."

"Every time John gets himself into a situation he can't get out of I have to be the one to save him at the time. After the latest scenario I laid into him, but ' how many times did I say it, don't take down the character alone, and that decision snowballed. As a result not only do you nearly get yourself killed, but it nearly gets me killed. And with me my unit killed, you are too much like a five year old here.'." he said and the quartet nodded.

"I know you were furious at what he did this time son, but you want to let him have it, do it in front of us and before it turns into a shouting match, Jack." Haden told him and he nodded in annoyance. "Aye Sir, but dad said this repeatedly he continues doing this and it could get him killed if he gets arrested by the Cardassians or the Romulans here. I feel like my grandfather in dealing with his brother." he told him and Haden nodded gently.

"Good point and that's a very good reason to prevent another sustained conflict from breaking out in our galaxy. And not immediately after Jean Luc got arrested and assimiliated by the borg last year. But we don't need repeaters this soon after the last close call we had at the moment. I take this was getting a foothold into the federation by non violent means right now?" Haden asked and he nodded, sighing at the question.

"Just coming home and already we get another emergency, but that truth is that the last two weeks, since he came home it's like things reverted back to the months. And just before he graduated from high school here on the ship right now. Just after we got into sickbay, Wesley told us the truth on Locarno and Derek Hanson's cousin right now." Picard said and the academy admiral crossed her arms as she explained that to him.

"My cousin is a total idiot Captain, he's, if we were in the 20th century, a marksmen, John is the side of grandpa, if my grandfather was split in half and they did do that. But that side of him let his hormones over rule his head, the cake, Hathor. This side of him lets his hormones do the talking and never thinks with his mental muscles. And uses the real ones, speaking to my father and uncle, they said it time and time again."

"That there is more to the job than physical education, you need every subject in high school to make it in Starfleet. But I'm the scientist side of grandpa that knew this for a fact, as he tried to rectify the squadron leader's mistakes. And it resulted in killing James as a result, as Dan and I did the job together, Hanson tried to rectify John's mistakes. And did it for the third time in 120 years." Jack said and he nodded as she finished that.

"So that's your version of Reynolds first name?" Wesley asked and they nodded. "James, like Derek Cromwell and several others, we all had a severe hatred. And for black ops in the program son, truthfully, reading the records, I saw my great uncle. He set up Dan's grandfather, but repeated set ups and the last one resulted in. After a Samurai named Senichi, to cause Dan's grandfather to being under Picard's command as a result."

"But trust me these guys are beyond cold blooded, and Dad and I never let John forget this, that his grandfather is a drug addict with a very violent temper on him. Honestly the riot 14 years ago when we were your age, was total rectification. To the riot that Peter started after Robin broke up with Nicky, same thing, scene for scene. And the cops got called in, but that is the second time in 14 years here." he told him and Wesley nodded.

"He wasn't kidding when he told you that, Jean Luc, the riot was a result of Peter being drunk and 2) the argument between the narrator, his rival and his girlfriend in the movie. Same argument, word for word and as if that's not enough, Elliot, Grogan, Hailey and Satterfield's baby brothers and sisters were caught in the middle of it. Wesley explained to me what the hell happened, but Hanson tried to rectify Johnny O'neill's mistakes."

"And still it resulted in the same circumstances right now at the time, as Charlie took Daniel's idea and pushed it two steps further here." she said and he nodded to her gently. "We have this happen again and I'm taking the commander's idea and shoving it seven steps further here right now, but the idea is to get these guys. And not the other way around and 1 to 2 steps ahead is not a plan, 4 to 5, beating an opponents move."

"And before it's even made, that's a plan now." Wesley said and Picard chuckled. "One more reason why we encourge you to learn to play chess here son. As you think out your strategy, before you put it to work, but then there was a reason. That you were my star pupil, since we arranged to have you train from up here. Until there was an opening at the academy at the moment." he said and she hid a smile as she answered him.

"Little issue in putting the Hanson cousins together and frankly we're better off getting you three off the team. And before they, Locarno and Hajar try to destroy your careers, you two. As you never lied to me or John before and why start now exactly right now, but what Wesley and Jean Luc told you was true. Come forward and tell us and you get to stay, just a small punishment." Admiral Andrea Brand said and she smiled at the remark.

"You sticking around to see the end of this and what we altered the second episode on this season focused on me to, Sirs?" Wesley asked and they and Admiral J.P. Hanson nodded. "Yes and honestly you are the only cadet next to the duo that would get involved in this and manage to get this far and without getting arrested by the opposition." Brand told him and he smiled at the remark and Greyson sighed as he answered her.

"That's getting this far without getting arrested and by doing without the reckless stunts right now, but this is about to shift from careful planning. And to getting insanely reckless at the moment, Admiral, as from here we had several high frequency scares. Enough to give us adult officers a heart attack as a result right now." he said and the trio nodded. As the cat rubbed against Wesley protectively and Haden hid a chuckle at that.

"I take it she got a bit to attached that night if she's acting like this with you, son?" he asked and Wesley nodded. "Yes Sir, after getting to Data's quarters she took one look at me and knew that these bad cats, in her eyes, caused an injury that needed to be fixed. Being a medical cadet with a high degree in stage acting, did enough to over ride it enough to get mom's doctoring instincts to go haywire." he said and they nodded gently.

"At the current moment right now it was an issue of exact timing, because right after I left that first message I checked the monitor. And saw that my them was getting strong enough to over ride at the moment, but I had to explain this to Dr. Pulaski. And the engineering crew, Derek got arrested, again, for breaking his rehab. And bringing a live weapon into the exercise." he told them and they nodded sternly to the news.

"Though a training exercise you still followed the rules of a live situation like this right now, and getting this far without getting arrested is remarkable, son. So if I'm reading this right the situation started at 8 the night before and lasted till dinner the following night, correct?" Captain John Deladier asked and he nodded to him. "Aye Sir, but first the no winner and the next test in leadership training is the honesty test."

"Which won't be a problem either, reason being is being raised a starfleet born cadet comes in handy here as I told her the truth that just telling you immediately. That allows her to stay, but slight black mark on the record, we got to earn our credits and flight status back. But that's way better then losing your trust, you or the duo, it's you and it always will be, Sirs." he said and and she gave his shoulder a squeeze at that remark.

"Well you got that right, you tell us or Jean Luc, before we figure it out and you get to stay, but black mark on the records, and you got to make up both. But that's it, that's duty to truth, honesty is your only chance at staying at the academy Lieutenant." she said and he nodded to her. "I just explained that to her, and as did dad, so she knows now." he told her and she nodded as Picard smiled at the new title he gave him.

"Had this on again/off again catch between us ever since we got back together at the moment. Then again it's the same for Will and Deanna, but that's the catch, mess with our son's career and we'll destroy the career of the person who tries to sabotage him." Picard said and Haden nodded to him. "Well sombody better get the message, before they get caught by the very parents they don't want to be at the moment."

"So what they told me was right, that's including the captain, just tell you the truth and it's these three things in addition to a reprimand on the record." Sito said and they nodded to her. "Yes, but doing it before Jean Luc and his engineering crew chief realize it works better then attempting to wait till the last minute, in our trust, Cadet." Haden told her gently at that remark and she nodded as she looked between them.

"Added side effects is when the survivor's own ship happens to be the one doing the investigating, regarding one cadet's death and a very close call with the other. Just say it and get it out of you, because hold it in and it could do more damage than it has already. Like we said though, we're his adoptive family in addition to be his mother's closest friends." Jenson said, crossing his arms and she nodded as she answered him then.

"No choice needed them, if something happens to Josh, if I took Josh's position as his partner would that work Admiral. In doing this, in getting me a shot to work up here to serve our probationary period?" she asked and Haden and Brand nodded. "Yes and whoever was the one trying to sabotage you guys is under scrutiny. And until they show they're not going to do it twice." Brand said sternly and she nodded as she smiled.

"Duty to the truth and duty to your friends, why lie when knowing if we do, you could never trust me again. Never mind what they think, if it's a choice between you or them, I chose you, like Wes does right now, Sirs. Currently we're all getting sick of the wolf pack thing and for him, hearing that the duo are using him to get back. And at Charlie and Robin turned on the alpha wolf demeanor here." she said and the duo nodded sternly.

"Cub, again try to control that temper, you already hurt your paw, you don't need to make it worse by hurting the other paw next, okay." Will said to him gently at that and he nodded to the orders gently at his remark. "Added side effect these added traumas just keep getting worse every day right now. I just started advanced training and you getting hurt or worse is cause enough for us to kill whoever caused it, Wes."

"The eight of us are in one piece, it's just..., Hey captain, what about the advanced grouping that you ran into during the time his other distraction came into it?" Sito asked and Josh smiled as he got the idea. "We clone me and the clone is the one that is killed in the explosion, Captain." he said and Brand smiled at her idea. "So we do cross and double cross, cadets?" she asked them and they nodded to her and Deladier smiling.

"Yes Sir, as we wait for him to say the words that effectively destroy his career right now and then once in the second half of the hearing. Now, as we reveal that the Josh that was killed was a clone, and we set him, Hajar and the Hansons. Marks and possibly O'neill up if he's also involved in this and with him, is Makepeace as well. But duty to the truth, duty to your friends, we all choose duty to your friends, your trust is all that matters."

"You all do and for me, though in time dialation, I got the same bonds with you that he, the guys, and the duo do with you. But come on, it's the time difference, we can't lie to you anymore than we can lie to ourselves, our first duty always came first right now." she said and Picard smiled proudly. "And you just passed the first test by saying that cadet, a starfleet officer's first duty is a duty to the truth, be it scientifical, ethical."

"Or responsible and it is the founding principle on which Starfleet is based." he said and she nodded to the lesson gently at that. "And as fate haves it, Kyle and I get sent out to join you at the exact same time this is going on. Brand and Quinn chose the perfect timing to bring me back into your life and with me, Kyle. That's no damn coincidence now, Brand knows about this and decided to help you."

"By bringing me back into your life and the committee chose now to prevent this conspiracy from infecting the entire federation. And you're looking like the kids in that movie when they arrive at the hospital. Oh I'm not letting this go now, whoever is framing Eli for your medical records. And if they're connected to this security officer and the conspiracy." Pulaski said and sighed as she said it.

"They're ending up in prison when we get through with them. Does anyone else know about this, because if you were waiting till you came home. To tell them, she obviously delayed that on purpose by infecting the duo. And the day you come home, Wes." she said gently and he shook his head. "I'm relieved you were trying to get the entire truth now, with me indisposed at the moment, Kate."

"With you understanding this mind control ploy better than I do that helps, but frankly I need your help if she tries it with him next." Beverly said and she nodded as she remembered their conversation. "Nobody at the academy knows about this and I've been waiting till break so I could tell you now. But I'm glad you came back, because until mom, let alone the quintet are clean, I can't at the moment."

"Robin we've just met, only they can understand this, because ever since I joined the crew as a junior crew member, I could tell them everything. But this is just like the Captain and his issue with the thoughtmaker and the Battle Of Maxia. Although I'm guessing that diamond or ruby just dragged up his guilt regarding dad, Chief?" he asked and the sextet and Data all nodded to him.

In answer to answer his question at that and he sighed. "Sir I get it, but what happened is not your fault. He was never considered this at all." Wesley said to him gently and he nodded. "Damn it, he's still holding in guilt, regarding dad and what happened to him, alright I've got to talk to him about this. But the reason for this in his case is I've taken dad's place, he had me for one year, mom and me the year."

"Before I left and then I leave and he's lost total concentration, the quintet and you are the same way. The youngest member of the crew, considering the amount of time we spent together here too. And our bond was strong and she's taken advantage of that, the captain wasn't ready to just me leave. At the time that and frankly neither were the quintet or you, all of you."

"And for a single reason here and it's because, with my being added to the crew, as a junior member. It's the act of your star pupil/oldest child leaving for college now and here's the result." he said to them and they nodded to him in agreement. "And now she or whoever's causing those dreams about us are doing the exact same thing to you now?!" Jenson said sharply and he nodded to him.

"Yeah exactly, I haven't gotten a true night sleep in six months because it's a combined situation, my squadron and these nightmares. I was going to tell you this when I came home, before she derailed that, Doctor, Sarah." he said and they nodded as O'Brien pulled him into a hug at that as he closed his eyes as he felt his arms around him as they exchanged looks at that firmly at the news the .

As he exchanged looks with Jenson who said it for both of them at the news they just heard then. "That was the other reason, he just got forced into a choice, and one he shouldn't have been forced to make right now. But that's why Data broke us out of her control, and second the effcts of the knack are stil lingering right now." Picard told the duo and they noded as Deladier listened to their conversation at that remark.

"Don't worry son it's going to be okay, because once we deal with this, we're making sure you get the year to eighteen months sabbatical you need to recover from this." Jenson said with a firm tone as he said it. "If this leads to another problem and nearly another injury and Beverly is going to kill whoever caused it, because though a teenager and young adult at the moment."

"It's pretty damn clear to us that you're homesick right now and at the moment if this leads into what you told us. And it's taking me, the quartet and the sextet to find you, before whoever causes that programming to go off a second time. And if you get it next to walk you right out the front door, because that's not an option when the ship's in warp." O'Brien said and he nodded in agreement firmly.

As Robin switched subjects then firmly. "Alright again you can tell us later, but you better fill us in now, but I have a question here, Wes. How is that you know what was bugging them, it's like the commander is acting out of personality, when I look into his eyes. I see the pained look in them, it's like they lost half of themselves now?" Robin asked and he sighed then as he answered that.

"To a child that was the oldest of the family to the parent, or anyone connected to them here now. They know what is really bugging them from the second they get the reasoning and why they would get hit this fast, but though not lost child here now. And to them the depression is still really bad. I had to do this on my own as I am the only one. Here in training that understands this so easily, as we had been together for years."

"In total for close to four years." he said as his double finished that as he exchanged looed with the seven crew members he was closest to. "It's because to them they watched me grow up at the time and that one piece of it. But to the quartet, it's even worse right now, because that one year changed things so much. That it's hitting him, Counselor Troi, the Captain and Commander La Forge so hard."

"That's why the programming hit them like this, and they're not the only ones right now, I saw the look of emotional pain in Porter's eyes. And it's because I was watching him and Davidson through the grate leading into my apartment, I was in my mother's room. With the senior staff crew quarters, if they have a family, there's two rooms, but my personality was the one they preferred."

"During training and Derek broke a cardinal rule when doing a manhunt , and that's leave the channel clear. When the officers leading the search are trying to hear the reports given to them by the security officers." he said and she nodded as Jenson gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze in response at that. "Geordi had it right, right now though, I was listening to your conversations over my tricorder."

"Because I turned it into a miniature radio, of the type they use in the military back in the 20th century. But Charlie and Geordi were right, Derek was making their job harder than it could be because he wasn't keeping the channel clear. And then tried to catch me, my mother, and the quintet, in their eyes, would see this in only one way and it's beyond dangerous, reckless."

"And irresponsible, right now for what he just pulled, I mean what if it wasn't me or Data he encountered in the hallway. But Roga or some other hostile that boarded us." he added to her and they nodded in agreement to his thoughts as the entire group got it as Barnfield said for all of them at that remark. And as she exchanged looks with the rest of their crew as she went on at that remark sternly.

"You're right that's beyond reckless and irresponsible alrigh,t and why would you try to attack us head on, you're not that reckless." Barnfield said and he nodded in agreement to that remark. "Honestly did she really think you would attempt that, you would get arrested if you do and we're screwed as a result. But we spent four years training you in both ways, you know better then to do this at the moment."

"Was this why you sent him to me, if he was also drunk, so I can control him and so I can see if his grades can get higher then 70%?" Deladier said in disgust at that remark and Picard nodded in agreement to that remark. "Yes that's the reason exactly, but lets see if he can convince Locarno, that Wes would turn him into us this fast or not. But his over confidence is his weakness and Locarno's faith in his friends is his now."

"But I know Wesley so well that I know he would never pull a stunt like this, he's not reckless whatsoever now. Said the same thing after he told me what he was attempting to do here, and once I did, it was enough to annoy me here. Years of training and he caught things we normally don't see, but this thing over the knack. Well there still some effects remaining right now at the current moment, but I'm relieved you sent her."

"Because we need her to check his diagnostics later, and honestly what we told you over the trio was true. Despite the fact we made a pact never to talk about this again right now, they still broke direct orders. Hanson over heard it, and like the damn sarcophagus, it's resulted in every kid like him and Marks. To be thinking, his mother and I are having an affair and he got in on a case of quid pro quo." he said and Brand nodded in disgust.

"Well that's going to be their undoing as I know you're adopting him, as the lies turn true and once they do. It's that he's turning them into you, his stepfather, but try to wreck his carer, and we'll destroy their's by the truth, if you catch him red handed. Spock decided to come with, as did McCoy, so you tell them, regarding this thing. Now, over us holding that over the Hanson cousins, and Hajar if that does happen right now."

"Though that does, and it doesn't matter what they say, this choice brands them for life, no matter where they go, it's never ending if they try it and you catch them. But no matter where they go, they hear that remark and know they can never live this down at the moment. And with it at the moment. The stupid fools in that are going to get arrested by full officers and with us the academy leader." Deladier said and she nodded to him.

"I realized he used our training the last three years leading into when you took over John. As a result right now, his extensive knowledge of us and the ship was what saved the ship, us and the federation. So much so, that he and the duo were doing this together and with Lal, so her being created was for the best." he said and Haden shook his head smiling at the news and he nodded to the news gently at that.

"Technically this was my area after Maxwell had a nervous breakdown nine months ago, but is this was connected to his breakdown, he knew we had an alliance of several planets that could have destroyed us. If not for the fact he remembered Walker and the Horatio at the moment, but same thing, just four years apart in time frames and it took only calming down to put it together now." he said and the three admirals nodded.

"Well I combined the last conspiracy that killed Walker with Maxwell and realized that someone is trying to invade the federation and do it without violence here. But as a result I was on the ship for two of three times that we had situations like this. But the alter egos, Walker and now Maxwell, well that helps as we add Graves to the list next." Wesley said and Admiral Quinn gave a nod of agreement as they exchanged looks.

"Did she honestly think you'd try and attack us head on, either by attacking Jack, Derek and Eric with the phaser. Or just try and take control and come in here when we're compromised, I mean seriously. That's beyond idiotic and reckless, and it's because we'd arrest you before you could do anything right now as it is here." Goldburg said in disgust and he nodded in agreement to that.

As he answered him with a bemused smile. "Yeah I know that's what I said when I realized it, I'm not killing in cold blood here. And trying to take the ship back by force by barging in here or onto the bridge. Or just transport over to her ship is going to get me shot and arrested before I can do anything. So I decided on a psyche out by simulating the overload on the phaser down the hall."

And then a secondary psyche out by writing out a message to her to make her think I would. But everything she didn't understand was another weapon against her, I mean I leave ten indicators to the guys and then five more this morning. But think about it, in what book, created by Verne, did the main character do this by leading his friends right to him.

And his ploy got adopted by another character, in a certain video game novel, and it was leading false trails to his enemies now." he said and the man started laughing at that remark. "Journey to the Center of the Earth, nice choice son, that was perfect right now, but Journey to the center of the earth. Roga, and then everything as a indicator of our entire 3.5 years together, nobody."

"Outside of the crew could match that, but you get a really good show out of watching you three working as one this morning and last night. And everything I've seen so far certainly demonstrates just how good you kids really are. Everything you did so far is paying off right now and it's working at the moment kiddo, though in your case you just proved something here you two."

"And it's if you want to keep your oppenent from finding you, its best to keep quiet here. And without the beacon in the communicator, you can't be found right now anyway. Though the alarms give that away slightly at the moment." O'Brien said to him smiling and he nodded to him gently. "Although the repeated alarms going off at 1030 hours this morning was enough of a wake up call."

"But four to five times in the last five hours that's going a little too far right now, son." Jenson said as he started laughing at that. "Yeah I know that, but best to drive her crazy by screwing around with the systems. I knew you were going to figure it out the second you were back to normal what I was really doing. And how and it's because you're the ones who watched me during training."

"Four years as a team and you know me better than she does." he said and they nodded smiling at him as Barnfield said for all of them as she explained that to her then. "Yes we do, and it's hardest on us." Picard said gently to that. "He's right Robin, it's been hardest on us and the sextet ever since he left, but seeing a kid like Derek pulling stunts like this is enough to annoy us right now at the moment."

"But you and Charlie, that's what we preferred right now, your personalities are what we prefer and though Charlie can't take his place, he created his own." Barnfield said and she nodded gently. "At the current moment we got five all with the same personality traits, so that helps." O'brien said with a smile to that. "Issues of insecurities around here, just having a situation like this brings back the fact."

"That it takes thinking it through, before jumping the net at the moment, and you're more suited for games in theory than wargames at the current moment. And this games in theory of an alien incursion running loose on the ship right now is getting out of hand right now as a result son. You keep this up and it's going to get more reckless than we would have liked young man."

"At the moment here." Shimoda added and Wesley nodded in agreement to that remark. "That's too late for that right now, and this keeps up it's going to give us all a heart attack at this rate." Geordi said with a bemused tone as Wesley repeatedly that remark. "Too late, it just went past irresponsible and right to reckless endangerment, because my opponent is forcing this right now."

"Into winding up in the Jeffries tubes and extension shaft right now." he said and O'Brien looked at him at that. "You mean you moved out of range of that tube the second they thought they tracked you there?" Barnfield asked and he nodded. "Only problem is that to get her to land herself behind bars it's by actually winding up in that section now, but that's your remark right there."

"It's about to get as reckless as you can get right now, although considering she's having me run on fumes right now this is as reckless as it gets right now. Last night I drained a good amount of the caffeine from my system and the ending results are, after I took that sleeping pill. I was out like a light in five minutes, but this keeps up and the next adrenaline dose is going to drain out."

"By the time she finally does catch me, but before I take it at the moment as well here. I need to eat three more times so I have enough energy to do this, but by the end of it, I'm going to be on light duty for a month to two here after this. That is if she and whoever's working for her, doesn't make it worse, but three months on light duty and 9 to 15 more in recovery in your eyes, doctor."

"Because whoever's screwing with my sleep cycles and regime has just landed me in need of a serious case of rehab here. From too much caffeine and sugar and you're hearing the extent of that medical diagnostic from my tricorder later. Though with the fact that you did already with Dr. Anenzi, mom's going to kill the person that caused it and with her is Dr. Anenzi, at the moment."

"And you're all laying into the nurse for not seeing my physical symptoms and yet you did, guys, doctor." he said and she covered her eyes as she answered him at that in exasperation. "And the bonehead guard, if this keeps up could cause a broken ankle next at the moment here." O'brien said and Pulaski nodded to that remark. "You're right, that is as reckless as it gets right now and you keep this up."

"I'm not going to make it to my next birthday at this rate, so take it down a notch would you please, you two." Pulaski said, quoting her remark to him gently in exasperation and the young couple both nodded to the orders. "We just hit phase three and I'm taking them in the run around for a bit. And while you get the cure into the computer and free the rest of the adult crew and their spouses."

"But you're going to be hearing a lot of noise coming out of the ship bowels in a few minutes, but the seek is about to get a bit too loud next." he said and they nodded as the veteran duo nodded in bemusement as they exchanged as looks at that remark. "I'm starting to wish you hadn't told us that, because when hijacked is one thing, but telling us, beforehand, is enough to give us all a heart attack at the moment."

"Especially Dave and me, we're the ones that know you best." O'brien told him at that remark gently. "Nice wording, you're not acting like our previous computer problems by playing around. With the environmental controls or the life support systems at the moment. But having these acts of toying around with the holodecks and causing the alarms to keep going off, that's more than enough."

"But getting into the bowels of the ship, that's taking the hide a little too far here, Wes. And that's not if it results in further trouble, but if she gets anymore desperate. Than it's going to land you in the E.R. next if it causes you to break or tear something next." MacDougal said and he sighed at that remark. "Yeah that's an understatement right now and it nearly did." Will said in firm annoyance at that

"It's a bit too late for that at the moment, I was playing the bait when we pulled this operation. To give him enough lead time to figure out what the heck was going on around here. But we dodged her twice and the basic rule of thumb for that." Robin said and Pulaski finished that remark. "Yeah you dodged them twice and then it went to turning into 24 hour chase down that night at the time."

"But like the rules and guidelines given to you, and our grandparents taught this to you through us as a result. As grandma and Uncle Brandon rounded the corner at the wrong time and supposedly walked right into several compromised guards." Hailey said with a bemused smile and and Brandon nodded as he closed his eyes. "Alright young man, laugh it up this is neither the time nor place for that conversation right now."

"And Sarah don't start or you're going to cause him to break a rib from holding it in." Tom said to the duo in response as he exchanged bemused smiles at the training lesson. And with his team at the reference of that. "That really necesary right now Tom?" Jack asked and he nodded. "I could say the same about you and Johnny going at it at the bar young man and don't try that twice, Jack." Haden told him in response and he nodded.

"Once is lucky, twice is pushing your luck and three get ready to run. Because it's about to turn into a chase down next here. You kids are out of your minds right now, you just figure this out, he's possibly coming down with something and you choose now to pull this stunt right now. That's not only reckless, but completely irresponsible right now, you two." Pulaski said to the young couple.

"Wesley we've gone over the repeatedly after you came down with the flu, if you weren't up to something like this you had to tell us that." she added to him and he looked at her as he answered her with a firm look. "What did you expect us to do, wait till the expansion was under way, if we waited too long it was going to be too late, it's not just a matter of the ship being infected right now.

The safety and security of the entire federation is at stake right now, aside from that I was going to tell them when I got back, but by then it was too late. And it's because they were infected or about to become infected and with that in mind now. I was going to tell them this and everything else that's in that medical report." he said and she sighed as the sextet looked at him gently at that.

"Yeah and the senior staff crew are not going to take this any better than we will at the moment. Waiting until the last minute to tell us. You're mom's going to say this in the same way, but why didn't you tell us when you got back exactly?" Jenson asked and he sighed as he answered him, as he looked at him.

"Because the commander and Deanna were already compromised and the rest of the senior staff was going to be next. What with the fact my mother got infected and Data was deactivated by that point. We had no choice, but to push forward and I'm the key to getting it on earth now. But that's possibly what these pills are for right now, to weaken me and turn me into a weapon."

"Though if that's the next idea she has here, MacGregor is working here and this starts a second time, and you're looking at our discussion last year guys. Because she's, if I get that thing on me, going to be having me thinking it activated, again." he said, looking between the four of them and O'Brien stopped him at that remark as he quickly said it then to his remark as Geordi quoted that with him.

"She tries that and we're killing her for it, because once is enough in this case and if you have a relapse, that's it here. What the hell's going on here if she pulled this card just to get her hands on you?" O'Brien asked and he sighed as he explained that to him as Dayton explained that with him gently. "Whoever she's got working at the academy is doing illegal medical order prescriptions.

"Which was what Dr. Pulaski told you a bit ago, but my name and Dr. Anenzi are the latest ones on the list. Though like I said if this was part of her plan, you're going to have to hear those medical reports. As to why at the moment here, it's because my medical report just revealed a few things you're not going to like when you hear them later at the moment, Dr. Pulaski

"with you being the mind control expert here, whatever in those caffeine pills is acting like the added side effects of going into withdrawal from drugs. But if this was part of her plan later on, if she doesn't win this round and it's going to get worse. And it's if this game and conspiracy is not over with right now Chief, but I've had several jolts from whatever's in this stuff.

And it's hitting me in the same way detoxing from the ethanol does, but I was going to tell you this when I got back so mom could pull the medical card and with it the parental one. Like you theorized last night, I had to take a few hours break in Data's quarters to rest, before I started a second time. But before I could tell you any of this and everything else that was causing this

"To have me to look like this even before when I came home, as you all are the ones who lived these issues with me, including Jaan. But 'she' derailed that plan with having this incursion break out on our ship, but you better take this." he said, passing the tricorder to him and he nodded as Wesley went further as Robin looked at him at that remark as she answered him as she looked at the medical tricorder.

"What is that for exactly?" Robin asked and he explained that to her, as he loked at his crew mates gently. "I downloaded my medical diagnostics into it after I reported to the captain. That was a test and she gave herself away by having him immediately put it on after I left. That's one fatal mistake right now, the second one. That's she's having you guys go by your titles with each other."

"When as yourselves." he said and O'Brien nodded as he answered him at that as he loked at him gently. "We call each other by name, yeah we've been doing that ever since Aldea and the bonds have only deepened since then. But that's two fatal mistakes, number three underestimating you and number four is she never dug deep enough to realize everything blocked out was another piece."

"She doesn't understand here at the moment and you're better than she thinks you are, because she only got the last seven months. And seven said months are your training, she didn't see deep enough to realize. Now that by the time you left you're better than she thought in this. Amnd that's just become a nail in her coffin here and you certainly proved you're more than capable, here."

"Andof pulling the types of repairs we've seen you do. She's certainly underestimated you now, but how much farther is this going to go, which phase in this plan of yours is this right now?" he asked and she answered that as they looked at each other. "I knew I shouldn't have asked this question right now, because two phases were safe, this was going too far" O'brien said, sighing to that question gently.

"We're on phase three Chief, getting it turned into a brief run around and while we get the cure into the computer." Robin said and he finished her remark. "While I'm continuing to play decoy, but first we have to finish this now, phase 3, is the one we're still on right now as he just released you Eric, Sickbay and Guinan. As well as whoever else is there, but the last and final step is for her

"To incriminate herself as to that now, Sarah, once done in here you're going to have to fake it and head up the bridge, you too guys, because this scenario just turned into a sting operation. But this, the diagnostics, explains why Data ransacked the lab medical cupboard, so he could create the first of two of these cocktails and I created twenty more. I just have to take the next dose."

"And before something goes wrong in this, but at the moment I just ate breakfast. A bit ago, before the heat sensors on the map found me, but these cocktails don't last longer for more than 20 to 30 minutes in between doses and I have to eat before taking them. Otherwise the side effects are a case of nausea, and I was on the edge of hypoglycemia earlier."

"When the alarm went off in my apartment last night, but the basic rules for these things..." he said and Pulaski finished that remark as she got it then as she looked between the young couple. "Before taking pills if they need to taken with food, or you're suffering from hypoglycemia. Than eat something loaded with sugar, and get some water into you if you're dehydrated and then take it."

And before taking the ones that need to be taken and on a full stomach. Did you get some rest after you took that dose, because you're exhausted right now?" she asked him softly and he quickly answered her at that as he said it, to her gently at that. "Yeah I did Doctor, I was taking the night off, after I finished with the first portion of it, in Data's quarters, six hours of rest and a real meal."

"But that latest dose is about to be taken after I get a quick recharge in for now, but I'm insuring she gets herself thrown in jail by leading her into a trap now. But you'll know when phase four starts and as to how and why exactly here, let's just say the training shifted directions. And its because you're going to hear it echoing out of the Jeffries tubes connected to the main tunnel line."

"And directly to engineering down here." he said and she sighed as she got what he meant as Barnfield said it. "What's he talking about?" Robin asked and MacDougal answered that as she said it sternly to his remark at that remark. 'Oh no, you're not serious right now, Wes don't even think about it right now, they had you doing these jumps from two stories up, but that high, that's going to far."

'You land on it the wrong way you're going to sprain or break your ankle in the landing.' she thought as she answered her as she looked at him. "The Jeffries tubes amplify the amount of noise that goes on in the shafts in there, but with a metal floor, it's the landing is going to result in a loud clang in there. Of the type that can be heard echoing through the catwalks in the bowels of the ship."

"And the moment a and up to the bridge and the amount of noise from the clang and landing is enough to to be heard down here or all the way on the bridge, if he tries what I'm thinking right now and with that. Wes, don't even think about it, you wound up with repeated injuries in training and that's going way too far. And just to weaken the programming on the sextet, let alone us."

"And the quartet right now." she said and Barnfield quickly said it to him as she got it. "You got to be kidding me, son, that's what nearly broke your ankle?!" Deladier said in shock to that and they nodded. "That's what I meant by the next two stages going from careful planning and right to completely reckless. And by that I mean dangerously reckless right now." Greyson said and the quartet nodded in concerned exasperation.

"Jeez man, look I get what you're trying to do here, but going about it like this, is going too far here." Eastman said to him and he sighed. "What you would have me do Rod, leave the programming in charge, I had to get it over-loaded till we broke it completely." Wheaton told him for him and he nodded. "And that's too late for that, but if it's not us it's Stephan, but Hallie here, she's not human." Ashley said to this with a sigh of resignation to this."
