Chapter 33: The Game Recap Part XIV: The Mission Truths And Unexpected Ones
"Yeah I got that right now, but this is still too much after Patty nearly busted her ankle when she was trying to save me from falling into the crater. With one of my friends injured I reached my limit, but this is too much right now." Eastman said to this and he nodded. "Now you know how I feel, for us it's one thing but for our adult counterparts, we keep this up and we're going to give our parents a heart attack here." Hallie said and the adult cast nodded in annoyance.
"That's too late for that, but what you're about to hear is either in acting or for real, we all think this and we're a family, but at times your junior crew. We can't take the fact that your training lead to this now." Geordi said and they looked at him. "What are you saying exactly?" Stewart asked and he sighed. "We're saying that the chance he was taking was a risk that could keep him home for 18 months." Picard said with a sigh and they nodded.
"And said was when we started him, we were praying this was never going to happen, but the fact it did because of her, this was too much in our eyes. And as a result we were trying to talk him out of it, but he wasn't budging as a result we all knew what was coming was enough to give us a heart attack. After our conversation the night before." Beverly said and they nodded. "I'm lucky my parents didn't learn this, or I'm in trouble." Ashley said to that gently.
"You think your folks are bad, our's are even worse here, but you're both a new trainee on board the ship this is my crew and team, I knew them longest. But at times though adults our adult team mates don't see us as their equals, times, like this, they still see us as cubs, and cub just risked an injury. And the night before to get us this far, and cub is about to risk a trip to sick bay with the next stunt." Hallie, Gregory and Wheaton said together and she nodded.
"We're matched to our adult version and I'm the only android in the three of us, and they thought they lost me for good, before we created me a new body. But Bill and me, we're like our parents, and Stephen is part of our trio, but where being a team is concerned this was something that the adult crew. Now drilled into us for years that the remark, of being killed vocally for reckless stunts comes into play." Hallie said to that and Wheaton nodded to that.
"Too late young lady and you, young man, you break your ankle for real and you're off training for three months when we got to do this again." Stewart said to that remark and he nodded to order gently. "Yeah now I brought the father out in my surrogate father here." he said to that and Frakes crossed his arms. "And don't start with us, you scared us one too many times here and that's enough of this already." Levar told him sternly at that and Frakes nodded to that.
"He's right Billy, for five years before and after you left, we've had one too many scares regarding you, that this is too much for our hearts to take right now. Practically raising you ourselves since you were 15, this where you brought out the parent in us and we're scared out of our minds here. That we're going to lose you for real here, but you need to take it down a few notches here, son." he said to him and he nodded with a sigh at that remark gently.
Knowing that their bonds were beyond close and the elder version to their cast loved him like a son they were beyond close that doing it again now. That this brought out the parent completely in this after being together for in total, in their eyes, 18 years after having to do it three times now here for them. That the rewrite to this episode was going to be even more heart wrenching in the next round then the last two then in their eyes then as they watched it.
"Wes you scared the heck out of us once too often when doing this on the holodeck, don't try that or you're going to break or dislocate your ankle next trying that." Macdougal said and he said it with a sigh. "The conditioning is hitting them the hardest, like it did you, before he broke her hold on you. With you it's the loss of two things and you weren't ready to let me go last year at the time."
"But for the quintet it's even worse I'm an only child, so 'first born child leaving the nest' here in my mother's case, with you guys. I practically became your adopted son after mom left for that year. And after three years together here's the result at the moment now. The sextet have lost their focus, because everything that we used to to together is making it harder to concentrate."
"Especially the commander, I have to get to the commander most of all now, he's my mentor. Deanna, my godmother and they're both suffering the same thing mom is, as is the captain and with that our bonds and what we are to each other. To break the conditioning it was the decoy tactics first and now this is the second one at the moment though she thinks I'm in deck 7, section 23."
"And before I switched floors right now, but they're heading for level ten right now and taking the long to get there at the moment now. But take a guess of where that area leads to, in the next three floors up right now and 11 sections over here as I'm leading her into a case of misdirection right now. Because you used those tubes to try and get up to the bridge last year."
"When he, Worf and Casey climbed that tube, but think it over we had to do this before." he said and O'brien answered that firmly as he looked at him then as he said it to him then. "Only difference is you were in better shape at the time and we didn't have you draining your reserves repeatedly. Just to catch the perp at the time but this is going way too far right now at the moment."
"You're in no condition for this right now." he said and he sighed as he answered him gently. "If I don't and she's still got the sextet under her control along with 3/4's of the ship. I'm keeping them busy so you can get it into the system to free the others. After the homing beacon took control of the entire ship at the time, but she's hijacked every adult officer on board the ship from 18."
"To fully grown adult, but dad was ordered to take it to the endeavor, Deanna and Geordi to starbase 67 and they're planning on getting it into the academy. If I delay them long enough right now we can prevent that, but section 23. And it leads into..." he said and she nodded firmly as she got it, they thought it over. "That's the extension shaft and..., deck seven, are you out of your mind."
"Doing it from higher than five to six levels up it's going to break something." Shimoda said in shock and he sighed as he answered him then. "It's the only way to break the conditioning on the duo right now, as to why. Well he and Worf are the two I have to break her hold on now. And it's by getting a bit more reckless than they, and you, would have liked right now at the moment."
"But the problem is that computer game, it's acting like the parasite in that Heinlein novel and our past conspiracy like a month after Tasha was killed. But Remmick, Quinn, the virus and now outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever scenario we discussed last year and with those words in mind regarding the virus. That we all got hit by four years ago and is the reason for the reason."
"That the knack hit me so hard and with that we went over this already last year when that homing beacon hijacked us at the time. But with everything we encountered these last four and half years now. If we don't destroy the hold she has on the sextet, it's going to be a repeater of the virus. We had running loose on this ship, I got the details after she tried to catch us the second time."
"But she's sending Deanna and Geordi to Starbase 67 with it and the commander to the Cleon system. To pass it to the Endeavor, and straight to the academy on earth. Now just imagine the events if that virus began jumping from our ship and straight off it. And getting to the other seven towns in range of us and the college." he said and they looked at him in shock at that remark.
"Oh god, that's going to over run the entire federation." MacDougal said in shock and he nodded as he answered her. "Like the god damn parasite that infected me and killed Keel and the attempt Hathor tried, it's the very same thing right now." Quinn told him and he nodded to that. "No kidding right now, that's why I had to take charge, I'm your one chance right now at stopping this." he said and the quartet nodded firmly.
"I wouldn't call this sacrifice right now, but this is still enough to scare the hell out of us after the amount of stunts we had to deal with right now. But if that ploy is still in full swing if the little runt was still alive I'd kill him again." Mauldur said to this and Stewart covered his eyes at that. "By that you mean year two, after Salia nearly caused him to end up in the middle?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah that's what I mean alright." she said and he nodded to that.
"Wait a damn minute..." Frakes said as he tried to remember what happened in that act. "Which act was this?" he asked and Wesley said it, knowing this was about to scare the hell out of the doubles of his version then. "We're in act IV, we're coming to a close, but this is where, after you traced me in there, that the sudden clang got your attention." he said and they nodded as Frakes thought it over and then felt his heart lurch at that news.
And as he felt his heart skip several beats. "The extension shaft, extension shaft, I was in one tube, Michael was in the other and that level is level seven, but whatever level higher then one or two, that's going to..." he said and they all felt their hearts skip several beats at that. "No, no forget about it, Billy don't even go there." Levar said quickly at that in shock. "I see what he has in mind here for this." Wheaton said, knowing what this was doing to his version.
"But for us it's one thing, for them it's another, but we've been together so long that the act of knowing your junior cast mates too well is a factor. I risked putting myself back in sickbay for this by working over time when Soong hijacked Brent, prior when I had to use my repulser beam to get us out of there. And now and this is the third time in 4 years I have to do this only this time, you're not in control of your faculties in the case of the senior staff crew."
"Of our cast members." he said softly and the extended cast looked at him in shock. "I see what you're thinking here on that, and forget it, we had the life scared out of us one too many times with you and in both versions. But this is too much right now, after you got stuck in the system for two months, but this now. No forget about it, once was enough in that episode though we had to do it twice, but trying that, forget it!" Frakes snapped in shock at that..
"If this is what his version of us was thinking over the shrapnel this is even worse, forget about it." Lumb snapped in shock at that and he nodded. "I know we're actors, but when we start getting into our character that's when you better be afraid of the parent coming out in your co-stars. But that first one is enough already but this, no, no you're not doing it, forget it you're not doing it!" Bundy snapped in shocked disbelief as she realized what he meant.
"Whatever you're thinking here forget about it, you're not doing it!" Whoopi snapped in shock at that remark then. "No..., no forget it, you land on it the wrong way, you're going to dislocate it!" Marina snapped at that. "The level I have no idea where I jumped here, but if he's suggesting what I think here, there is only one spot you know where it could do it finally in breaking her control." he said and they looked at him in shock at that as Colm said it quickly.
"No, no, no, no, you're in no condition for this right now, damn it Billy, with the rest of us thinking straight we can do this, but you're no where even close. Here, to being ready for this and you've already done enough for us to handle this!" Colm snapped at that and Wheaton covered his eyes and then snapped it out. "Like Daniel, he risked his own health to stop that piece of junk from ending up on earth, we don't need this over running the entire federation."
"And if we don't that's it, we're done!" he snapped and they shook their heads. "I don't care, we always pulled through because we worked as one." Levar snapped at him. "This is not like the last few times, she got to you, because you were missing me so much you lost your concentration here right now. That you never see this coming till it's too late, right now Levar, damn it guys, look I get it right now, but like Daniel risked his own health here."
"Either me or my character right now, same difference, we know what we were trained to be, what you trained us for here, but you knew this was coming. And from the second you started us, you knew this was coming, our training was leading to this moment, as we, single handedly, stop a massive hostile take over. And one without violence, is the federation not worth my risking landing myself back in the hospital?" he asked and they swallowed hard at that.
"That's what you're really saying here, by trying to talk me out of this, but are the lives of every planet in the federation, our colony ring our people. Not worth your own students doing something that lands them in the infirmary right now?" he asked and they swallowed at that. "For years you taught me what is right, but my training was leading to something, that, when not in your faculties had you laid out as we took your place in trying to stop it now."
"What the hell was it you taught me, never let your emotions get in the way of what has to be done, you drilled that into me for years here now. And with it the first duty is a duty to the truth, be it scientifical, ethical or responsible, well now the truth is that if I don't do this now, and we're done here. This is war without violence, and she's Hathor, my team is a junior version to you here, same damn thing, but it was different as you the ones in that position."
"And now, instead of the battle of the genders, we got the age groups in a war to prevent this from getting off the damn ship right now, or did you forget. That's the very problem in that book series focused on Ewan when he was a kid and Liam, same thing only this time, I'm trying to protect the future. And of the federation, before she destroys us, and what if she's in league with the Cardassians, you ever consider that, our war with them is never over."
"No matter how many years go by and to prevent an all out war between us and them, you had to prevent one of our own men from firing on them. But this must be what was on those ships in the Cuellar system, you ever consider this is what Maxwell wanted us to verify?!" he said and Stewart swallowed. "Look I get it, to you I'm still a kid, your student, can't do it alone, not without you, but this time I have no choice with you guys compromised here."
"But what the hell was it you taught me when we did this?" he asked and Frakes said it quickly. "No that was different." he said and Wheaton said it deliberately. "Yeah different because you guys were the ones taking the risk right now, but there it is, that's the hard part of being a team, a command. But this is not you risking your life, just what would you have me do here, as she already forced me into this?" he asked and they exchanged looks at that.
"Robin and I were together, till she got to her, I was on my own, with the fact Rod was left acting like a plant all this time, I got this far, I got to finish it. But it was different as it was you guys as the ones that were taking the risks, before here and you never considered, not once what this was doing to us. And now it's in reverse, if I got to risk my neck to protect everyone on board that ship and for the greater good, I got no choice, I'm over 18 now in this episode."
"But I'm no longer just a trainee anymore, I'm a full member of the team, and crew now, we all knew when we got into this, what you trained me to be. Did Astur not make a point?" he asked and they closed their eyes. "How about Walker, Denise, did this not make a point, Denise risked her own life, just to save you guys, Astur, shoved Michael out of the way in the cave in, Walker committed suicide to stop the infestation at the HQ, Daniel himself now."
"He risked his life, soul and sanity to keep that thing off the planet here, but is that not enough, but you always said there was going to be something. And said something that puts us in the hospital, well this one is mine." he said and the cast felt their hearts lurch. "But it was you in the last few dozen times and you never considered, not once, what was this was doing to us, and now it's in reverse, only this time it's me finally, but the hard part now here."
"Of being a team is not you risking your own life, its the fact you got to watch helpless in seeing your friends taking chances with their's, for the greater good. But did it ever occur to you, in what it did to me when Denise was killed by Armus, what it did to me when I nearly lost you guys more the once?" he asked and they swallowed hard. 'Oh dear god, what did we turn him into here.' Frakes thought in shock to that reprimand at that remark at that.
"Well now you know what it's like now for us as your kids here now, risking an injury here for the greater good, Daniel nearly killed himself at least 3 times. Just to stop that thing or stop that attack and as a result this time it laid him out before we ended this here as to that right now, it's not just us our crew. But our entire races, in the federation, but right now it's not just our ship, but the federation." Wheaton said and Wesley nodded as Picard closed his eyes.
"And for the greater good, I have to do the same thing, there is only one chance we have right now to stop her, and if I don't, that's it, we're done. In Cam's words, the hard part of being a team is not risking your own life, it's watching your friends taking chances with their's right now, in my case. Sure I'm only 19 in this episode, but this is my ship, my crew, my home, my family, I've got a job to do right and with that in mind here now guys."
"Just what choice do we have right now, you're compromised as is dad, we got no choice and we're coming to a close you want someone to blame, blame her. But I have to finish what I started here, and then once done yank me off duty, but I have to finish this, before this hag kills both you and us, look. I get it, but for the greater good this is our only chance, just to prevent it from getting it into the federation, or the fleet." he said and they sighed gently.
'God what have I turned him into after 5 years together, he's as committed to doing the right thing as I was in order to destroy the ones at HQ. But that was different, I'm an adult, he's still in many ways just a child, still a child on the edge of manhood, my son, my student, I love this kid. He's my son, I can't take the fact that for the greater good he's willing to risk a trip back to the infirmary to do it.' Stewart thought trying to control his emotions
'Jesus, now we really do sound like them, but this is too much, this kid is like our son, and he's done enough already, but I can't take this.' Bundy thought with a sigh to that. "Are we all thinking this, that this bitch just caused something that's going to get her killed after we learn his system is close to crashing here?" Levar asked and they all nodded. "Youngest of our cast, youngest of our team, he's our son too." Marina said for all of them and he nodded.
'Yeah we trained him a little too well, but this time, there are times I wished we never started him, and this happens to be one of them right now.' Frakes thought with a sigh to this then. "Etana, now you really pissed us off, but you touch my students and my son and I'll kill you myself, but come near him ever again and I'm going to kill you before I put you behind bars!" Gates, Stewart and Frakes snapped together as they ended the conversation on that.
"Let's just finish this and get it over with, because the first piece of the cliffhanger was enough, but this is too much right now." Levar said, trying to control his heartbeat at this and they nodded as they tried to control their emotions over the chance their youngest of their version of the crew was taking then. "If the first landing sprained his ankle and tore something, it's the second one that blew it out." Marina said and they nodded as Frakes gripped his shoulder.
"That's what's scaring me here, the landing in his case is bad, but doing it twice and it's wonder he didn't break the other one right now." Gates said to her in response. "No kidding, but once this is done is, he's off training for four months and he's home for 10 till he's fully recovered here right now. But Robert really pissed me off right now, but his body is spent, and now this, that's enough of this crap already." Stewart said sternly and she nodded to that remark.
"Look I get it right now, but what was it you taught me here, in order to get a job done right now?" Wesley said to them and they swallowed. "No that was different." she said and he said it firmly. "Yeah different because you were the ones taking the risk, but that's the basis, for you, you never considered. In what this did to your peers in taking chances with your lives and your friends, your peers had to stand by here."
"Stand by and watch helpless, but you leave this room to try it, and you're going to get infected, you've been on autopilot since I left. You think I don't know what caused you to get hit so easily, you're all suffering the same thing here and it's depression, over me here. But I'm like you, I did alnighters before, but this time, it's not just us, but the welfare of the entire federation that's at stake here you guys."
"Listen to me a minute, Sarah we went over this last year, the captain gave me specific orders in case this happened. And the programmer was using us to get a foothold into the federation, and it's by mind control. Well said scenario landed on the table, I'm following his orders, with the captain and first officer out of the equation. And incapacitated, as well as my mother and Geordi, it's up to us now finally."
"So who does that leave to take charge right now, but the colonel and general are compromised. As is the doctor and second in command, not to mention the base psychiatrist. The only option left is for the next in command and the non commissioned officers to take charge?" he asked and MacDougal nodded, sighing. "Ranks of 365 years ago, your mother was the head of the medical department."
"The captain is the general, the commander the colonel and Deanna, but that leaves us. That's me, Kate, and Data, medical quarantine over-ride, and taking back control of this ship." O'Brien said and he nodded. "Yeah and I've got maybe 15 minutes before they get to where they think I am. But that force field I put up with you guys impaired is to prevent her from screwing around here."
"And with the environmental controls and every vital system needed and four years older and four years wiser in training strategies now as well. But I'm just saying this in the words of the level four disease control of the 20th century. And it's the exact same thing here, but hemorrhagic fever mutated into a bug that spreads like the flu here, this is the very same thing right now."
"Doctor you studied every disease in the books on earth, but this one is thanks to acting like the most deadly viruses known to mankind. And them spreading like the damn flu, we've had two bugs gone aerosol form during that year. But the effects of the game, before the mind control kicked in. And are just like that first virus you read up on when you arrived, it's that one."
"That acted like alcohol on the mind, before it changed to recreational drugs, and the Tsiolkovsky's crew were killed, because A: they were playing with the environmental controls. As if that's not enough it's like a level IV plague, and once one person had it, then ten others had it and with the infected And B: because they blew out the escape hatch on the ship, and I heard the blast."
"And not only does that cause a hull breach it vents the heat into space as a result here. And every security measure needed to prevent that, again is in here in that systems control room, so why else would I put up that force-field that day. And C: to prevent it from infecting anyone else, I'm talking a serious outbreak like the Ebola strand 390 years ago, the movie now."
"But this is a doctor's worst living nightmare right now and when you're just getting started as a new crew. And though you're teen computer whiz was keeping everyone infected out of the control room. Think about it, you come into contact with patient zero, after getting back on board your lead technician. And said gets infected, and then with him your original security chief."
"As the rest of the crew starts getting infected here as a result and from there it starts going from person to person. And until your entire crew is infected with a virus like this. And your 2IC has to do your jobs for you while your android team mate is also sick as well as a result. And to top it off is, it's not just because of a collapsing star right now, you're in the path of an oncoming meteor."
"And your son decides to be the one to take the initiative regarding this, just to prevent the hot-zone from spreading. I'm just saying this in the words of that Doctor that dealt with the Ebola virus, during that scenario. But you have 80 people dead and several others infected and it's spreading like a brush-fire. And though the entirety of the ship at the moment throughout the ship."
"We should have had everyone isolate themselves in their quarters till mom got the information needed. But too late and I get infected, but I'm still thinking rationally to prevent someone from killing themselves or us. But to prevent us coming into contact with any other ships or star-bases. And until the cure was created, it's by a medical induced over ride and taking your first steps."
"As a member of the junior crew, but if one of them has it, then ten of them have it..." he said and Pulaski covered her eyes as she finished his sentence as she looked at him at that. "And if someone gets off the ship, before we deactivate it and we're screwed here, we have to keep it quarantined. That's why you're working over time, honey, you look like the knack is effecting you still."
"But to prevent that thing from getting off the ship, before we can deactivate the programming?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah that's it exactly, medical conspiracy and a full scale incursion into the federation. And Mom got infected, again, and she, or rather Etana, called out medical security alert, condition 3. Just to arrest me, but this is an alibi to get that piece of junk on me now."
"But trust me it's not happening twice or going to work now hopefully, and that's not if she doesn't try anything else after we end this now. As I said when infected I cold still come up with 3 or 4 good ideas in an hour. Fully focused and you better get out of my way, because I'm going to throw the entire arsenal. At you, but I was thinking clearly enough to send several reminders to you."
"And about that last night as a result, but I know you better then you know yourselves, and Brand decided to set this up as her secret weapon to have us together." he said and Robin looked at him in shock as she answered him at that as she looked at the reminder on their faces. "That's what happened, the damn virus you told me about went aerosol form and started spreading like the flu."
"But if that's the case, how could you survive this when everyone was infected with it?" she asked and he turned and looked at the force-field. "I'm acting on the only option necessary to prevent a repeat of those same conditions. And with everyone else not on board the ship as a result, but until we're clean, the ship. But Data just hit you, sickbay and Guinan with the cure Sarah."
"Our only option necessary till we catch her in the act, and this her plan at a biological weapon, it's by setting myself up for capture. And by Data catching her in the act, but it's as close to the movie that focused on that virus as possible. The Puppet Masters, Outbreak, that's this scenario right now completely and with my being the only one who figured it out first."
"I've got to prevent her version of Anthrax from getting off this ship. And by the only option necessary. By acting like our previous computer viruses and pest problems. But this one is taking a leaf out of the book of what I did that year a few weeks in." he said and the team nodded as they got it then and as MacDougal nodded as she remembered his explanation to her the year before.
"The virus acted on the brain like alcohol, causing the entire ship's crew to start acting like they were drugged or intoxicated at the time. To prevent anyone from accidentally killing themselves he decided on a medical/command induced over ride. And said got me out of the room, and he took control of the control room terminals and set up that forcefield, till Jim talked him into allowing him."
"Into letting him into the room now with him as i think he explained this to him in the intention here. As Jim yanked the computer chips to prevent us from getting anywhere near anyone that could accidentally become infected. And with that virus with that now, is we, the commander and me. But not realizing what he was trying to do here at the time, he took the initiative that day."
"But he never told us until it was over, and we were trying to get in there to get the control chips back in place that day now. And get us out of the way of the meteor, and before it hit us at the time, yes I remember that conversation. You did it again last night while we were looking for you all this time now. And you've been hiding to make this last longer then necessary now.
"But..., by orders of Captain Picard, Commander Riker and Dr. Crusher, you're inducing a medical induced over ride of the computer. And just to prevent it from getting off the ship now at the moment. Shutting down the Turbolifts, all shuttlebays, aside from the one Kate used to get in here and the transporters." She said and he nodded to him and she nodded as she got it then in that one remark.
"Data do it again, we have to make sure that until we end this and the entire senior staff crew is cleared of that virus now." she said and Wesley nodded as he looked at him then as he said it to him gently at that remark. She's right, you have us and the rest of the emergency shelters are under your command now. So we have to finish this now, as they don't know you're back online."
"But Etana read their internal anger at the fact Soong put a child at risk by using you to do it, and with Billy was me. And decided to exact revenge on you, and Soong by deactivating you at the time." he said and Robin looked at him in shock at the news."That's what happened, they were furious that Dr. Soong put a child at risk, and pushed you into over doing it, that they decided."
"Or she decided, if Soong wasn't here, then he was the one getting deactivated so she could take control of the ship and it would have worked. Had it not been for the fact that her opponents are a trio of teenage scientists and we had this planned out in advance?" she said and he nodded to her gently as he answered her. "Yeah, that's it exactly, but with being turned into drones right now."
"And they're going to be feeling guilty like Data was last year about this, but I've had to work over time three times. And in 18 months. and third times the charm now, but if it's not this one that lays me out. That to you, it's going to be her third try to get it off the ship." he said and O'brien sighed. "You're right, I'm beyond furious at the fact she forced you into over doing it again now."
"And did it by using us to do it right now, but hopefully this is the last and final time, but that last jolt once drained and I'm saying this for all of them. But after this is over and you're on light duty indefinitely right now with you this drained. I know what too much caffeine does to you, but repeatedly draining the doses and the epinephrine with it, your body can't take this type of abuse here."
"And repeatedly." he said and she looked at him. "You just said my exact thoughts right now Miles, like Derek his body can't take this type of abuse repeatedly. And till we have to make the decision for him and by getting him to rest right now." Anenzi said in response as Will crossed his arms at that in agreement as Wesley answered him. "But the commander didn't realize this till I explained it to you last year."
"But in his case the reason he changed is because of me and my leaving now to him, the act of letting me go is, if we'd seen that other space epic. I'm his prize pupil for several years and I'm on the edge of graduation. And he's having a hard time letting me go now, which is why he's been running on autopilot. And ever since I left at the time last year and it's the same for the quintet."
"The only option is by getting their parental instincts to go on a rampage and that maneuver is it. It's this and with that it's the act of their paternal/mentor sides breaking down the front door. When they realized what I just did and tried in there, a nd at the moment, it's once this activates, but it's getting stronger every minute this continues." he said and she sighed as Pulaski said it for her.
"That's my one option now, get him to break through it now, by pushing up your parental instincts to the max. I just simulated that injury to cause your parental instincts, but I was due for my booster anyway. And if I hadn't stopped and grabbed it, I would have landed directly on top of it. But after the knack, you know what happens if the Selelvians are sick and they can't control it, Doctor."
"As a result the sextet are pissed at this still and they learn the truth that the effects are connected to this. It's in reverse, I'm their catalyst we have to shove it up even more to break the link and give who's left. Enough time to fight back completely right now, but this is your arena Doctor. But you're the mind control expert here, so what else." he said and Pulaski nodded as she said it to him then.
"But deprogramming 101: What's the best way to break the conditioning if the added indications of everything we did together doesn't work. It's going to pulling something the duo had never would allowed when I was in training when I was still home. And by three times the height I normally did the jumps." he said and she sighed as she said it to him, her tone going stern as she did it.
As she looked at that remark firmly. "You're about to cause their parental instincts to go on a rampage here and with that in mind right now, as Eli and Eric told you, you don't get the landing right and you're either going to sprain. Or dislocate it in the landing, and walking on in it only makes it worse right now. But the last time I saw you looking like this at the time here now."
"It was during the effects of the knack and Brand told me it's still effecting you right now and with that. Once you do that, you better take that multi-medical cocktail or you're in big trouble young man and I mean that. Because once the shock from the landing gives out, if you rolled your ankle. And the ending results of the shock giving out is that the pain is enough."
"Now here to incapacitate you during this and that's something none of us need, how much did you drain last night, before you went to your quarters." she asked and he sighed as he told her that. "A third of it right now, but I've been taking it slow all morning, but the shift is about to start. And it's not the caffeine dose I'm worried about, but the epinephrine, it's only going to last so long."
"And before I need the next dose." he said and she nodded as she said it to him at that remark with a stern look on her face at this as she answered him at that. "Well after you do this particular daredevil stunt, I want you to take another dose. And at the moment, with being your doctor that year and I was around for your training, it's at the moment in your case over doing it right now."
"And as to why, it's because one too many close calls and this is taking the act just a little too far right now. And after that if this results in a relapse and you're on stand down when I give your mother that information. But this situation of taking and dealing with it alone is going way too far right now, Wes." Pulaski said to him sharply then and he hid a sigh as he answered her.
"At the moment I'm going to pull one last attempted escape, recharge and that's it, but I have to make her think she's got a win now. Before Data catches her in the act, but she's getting implicated for child abuse. As we're still kids in your eyes, and putting our younger charges at risk, remember the sextet. The kids are as scared of Macgregor as I am, and for all we know."
"That he's here to kidnap me and the sextet and with it: Conspiracy and sedition, child abuse, near attempted murder. And finally attempted foothold here and you arrive in time to bring back new information. You guys just get the cure into the computer, I'll distract them long enough. And for you to get it into the system right now, but the longer that this goes on right now."
"And the faster she's going to land me back in your care Doctor." he said and she nodded as she got it with a sigh as Robin looked at him. "Sorry baby, but he's right, like Danny's grandfather, he risked landing himself in the infirmary. Just to protect their grandparents and their friends from getting captured. And subjected to what Pyrus and his interrogator were doing to his grandfather." Hammond said to that remark gently.
"Well there we are, that's your version of us." Sam said and he nodded to her. "Yeah but your minds as you are now, are about to end up in them right now." Geordi told her and she nodded in shock at that news. "You got to be kidding right now, you mean that we had ourselves cloned here, that's not your version, but us as we are!" Landry said in shock and he nodded to him. "Yeah that's what we're saying, you better hear this." he said and they nodded.
As he walked into the room at that in time to hear that. "Maybe, but I don't have to like it right now, Admiral." she said and Will nodded in agreement. "Only a true officer in Starfleet or the Stargate program could do this baby, in time you'll understand. But us adult officers we had to do things that left us traumatized ever since. And he's a very young version to Daniel himself right now, by that I mean my Daniel now."
"Added side effects baby, and kids, I'm not who you think, this was why the medical council called me in, you're just like me to the point. Why I came back to see the crew and your grandfathers with me, we're not who you think guys." Hammond said and the ten all turned at that as Wesley also turned and with him was Jake at that. Before Sarah, Jason, Dana and Brad moved to him and Jack answered him at his remark then gently.
"Our grandparents, you are not our version, who are you?" he asked and Hammond took a deep breath. "I never saw this coming, that we could clone ourselves a couple of times because.., because they never knew you and what you guys are really like, so though adult officers. You practically raised us yourselves in training." Daniel said as he tried to control his voice as the tears ran down his face at that as he looked at his version in the future.
"Cubs, the guys and I, including your grandfather Mel, Danny, we are not who you think, you knew that the Asgard could clone our bodies. Before your minds ended up in your own grandchildren, we waited till now to tell you this, the timeline was reset as we said. But your minds carry the original timeline at the moment here and this one, but as a result, you may have wished to meet us in our heyday."
but there was no need for it, that reason is your grandfathers, the boys, never wanted to lose us." Hammond said and the group turned to him as the meaning became clear at that. "You got to be kidding me, I though you died of a heart attack, General!" Jack said in shock as he got it with that one sentence and he shook his head to him. "That's not your me, but me as I am." Hammond said softly and he nodded as he answered him.
"Darrel had Garshaw and the Asgard clone my body, and transferred my consciousness into a new body. And put me into stasis, their grandparents all knew this, as did your's Jack." he said as Daniel turned to him. "Was this before they found Destiny?" he asked and he nodded to him. "Yes son it was, I know what this is doing to all of you, you wanted a chance to understand why your grandparents loved me this much."
"Well next to Hank, Jacob and Jean, I was their primary commander, to them, they never could disappoint me. But my trust and our familial bonds were all that mattered to them." he said and the sextet wiped the tears off their faces in relief at the news. "You always made a big difference in our lives, but more then anyone else, you are my father, my family, I lost my real parents and I lose Aunt Maggie, but after 21 years I lose you."
"But I didn't, you asked the Tok'ra and Asgard to clone you, I got to remember this but I can't take losing you again, after this." Daniel said as he tried to control his voice at that and Hammond pulled him into a hug as he closed his eyes tightly. "We're lucky you left this in there, so we know what the heck is going on here in our future right now, we spent all our lives together, but the one parent in commanders we had were you, dad and General Landry."
"Dad barely survived the cancer and I barely lose him, but nearly him, and then you, this is too much, I can't take this right now, I can't lose you and I won't." Sam said as she wiped the tears off her face as Jacob pulled her into a hug at that."We always wanted a chance to know you in the same way our grandparents do. But this..., this way now, we never expected the lord to do it by having you cloned back then now."
"So one chance to have us know you in the way they do, you had yourself cloned?" Tom said, trying to control his voice at the news. "Your grandparents did their job, the last two pieces left of their legacy, our legacy, are myself and your grandfather baby." he said and she nodded in shock to that. "My grandfather, you mean Jacob is still alive?" she said and he nodded, just as she was answering they heard a gentle remark.
"You never lost me that fast baby, but your grandmother wanted to give you one chance to see us as we were in our prime. During the war with the renegades now, before we stopped all of them, the Asurans, replicators and the Ori." she heard and turned to see her grandfather, Jacob Carter, walking in and she smiled in delight as she ran to him. "Grandpa, am I glad to see you." she said and he hugged her tightly at that.
"I see where this conversation is heading after everything you showed us so far, we're about to tell them the truth to what Johnny really was here. With the fact we got my cast of The Puppet Masters, Outbreak and Armageddon on the base here." Sutherland said to Picard and he nodded to him gently at that. "You look so much like my baby girl, your grandmother, you never had to worry about making me proud baby.
"You been doing it for years, you certainly made us proud all this time now, but in truth now. In truth in our present, you and Danny, your grandparents, were our best officers, I was godfather, George his uncle. But from the time they were 5, they could best a young man preparing to go into one of the higher grades now, but that's the real problem for years now your uncle." he said and then finished with a sigh.
"Not Charlie, but your dad's brother, Jack, he heard nothing, but your names now, but your grandfather, my daughter and Danny. For years your familial teams, but our praise, our pride, our playing favorites in our future officers, that when we hit Hathor. J.J. Johnny in our wording now in students and officers, was so jealous, that they came up with this lie now that he helped Hathor, but the evidence in this case."
"The evidence of his getting called for treason and Makepeace with him, it was all over the cameras. But it never worked, and instead of Daniel getting named as mentally incompetent, the arrogant little fool that he was, is jealous of my Danny. Because he's all we talk about, it's the argument you heard from Shelby before, that's it entirely, son." he said and Will nodded sternly to that as he answered him gently at that.
"It gets better, but your memories of our century, our you, are about to reactivate, in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..., now." Landry said and they jerked at that they closed their eyes and as Daniel refocused first and looked at him as he turned to Dr. Melburn Jackson and smiled in delight. "Dad!" he said and Mel pulled him into a hug as Bra'tac, Jacob and the other generals did the same with their children as they exchanged grins at this in delight.
"So they were screwing around with time and instead of ending up in them back in 2364, we end up in your version of us in 2368." Sam said and he nodded to her gently that. "Yeah, but no matter our present or us in your present, you're the same person no matter what version you are now, and this is your entire team too." Picard told her and she nodded as they watched themselves gently at that as they saw their reactions with new eyes.
And as the team went into a hug. "Well we're back guys, SG-1 is back!" Jack said smiling and he nodded smiling happily at this. "There's my cubs, you guys remember everything now?" Jacob asked looking from Gamma squadron to Jack, Teal'C, Cam, Jonas and Valarie and they nodded. "Yeah we do now Uncle Jake, Brandon, Jenny, Chris, Jase' is that really you?!" Daniel asked and they nodded smiling at him as Sarah hugged him.
"Alright who's left of us who never got our memories back yet?" Jack asked and Picard shook his head. "That would every soldier you arrested kids, but again get that under control at the moment." he said and they nodded. "If you read my letter to you guys, I was telling you the truth at the time, Johnny is an adult version to Hanson. So the psychosis is the very same from me to you, Wes." Daniel told him and he nodded to him.
"That's why he did it, he's like Hanson when it comes to Wes." he said with a low growl and the duo nodded sternly. "Yes and that's why he got yanked out of his reality and ended up in our's we told his version of us at the time. He was jealous enough to try and set your grandfather up, son, but no chance of this at the time. With us having our memories of the original timeline, that worked as our families stayed tied together."
"Your bodies are holding two entities in one body, on the one hand is your version and on the other is our kids, but Omac chose now to unlock your memories. So when you did, you have our kids inside you and you can use that to train Wes and his squadron now." Landry said and they nodded as he hugged his daughter who tightened her arms around him then as Jacob finished his sentence then to his own daughter as he explained it.
"You guys had this deep bond, but five generations and this explains in why all of you act like this towards J.J., Eric Makepeace and the others. You got our hatred of the NID, turned Nova squadron, at the moment." Jacob told them and they nodded. "Well me not anymore, as in the next reset right now, I'm about to be part of the team and I got 15 years working here." Makepeace said to that and the group nodded gently at that.
"Wait, did you guys reveal yourselves to Nick in that rewrite, after I spent 3 years on board the ship?" Wheaton asked and they nodded and he smiled in relief at the news. "Boy is someone going to get it, he never saw this coming, we cloned you." Eastman said to that. "So this is you two as our grandparents know you both?" Anna asked and he nodded. "Yes this is us, I loved your grandparents like they were my own children, baby, honestly."
"You remind me so much of your grandmother, them of their grandparents." he said and she gave him a hug and he tightened his arms at that. "Q knew it was me from the second he saw me actually, a second chance." Hammond said and the sextet nodded to him. "If it wasn't for the fact we knew the outcome, I would have killed whoever the plant is and for nearly getting him so worked up it puts him in sickbay out of exhaustion."
"Though he gets hurts and and we're going to roast the plant when we find him." Will said and Hammond nodded. "How you did that with Ben Maxwell, I had the same conversation with his grandfather, as did Jason Redford. After he went rogue, he was in charge of the mission to test out a naquada enhanced warhead. And destroyed the home planet of the people we gathered recruits from." he said and Picard nodded sternly.
"The one that nearly destroyed the base?" Will asked and he nodded to him. "Yes that's exactly what I do mean right now at the moment, you're replicating our situations. And down to the limit right now, but be thankful you never had us, our consciousnesses in your heads, or you're suffering our memories and reactions. To some of the stuff we had to deal in or put up with since Apophis came on the scene in '97 that year."
"When Q talks like that, he's really remembering the NID." he said and they nodded in understanding. "So who do you see me exactly if you said that General?" Guinan asked and he chuckled. "You're like Morgan actually, she had alot of information but couldn't openly interfere, but her seeing Oma, she's furious at the time. I get you and Q had these issues between you, but you don't need to land your crew in the middle lf it."
"It took three added years, but to us, the Borg are the replicators and the Romulans and the Cardassians are the renegade system lords. That test when Q transferred their powers into you Will, it's like the armbands and what they meant in training. Jean Luc was acting like me when dealing with Jack after getting addicted to the damn thing." he told him and they nodded as the security team exchamged bemused looks at that.
"The armbands, General?" Will asked and he nodded and the duo exchanged looks at that. "So why send you two right now, Sirs?" Greyson asked quickly and Haden answered that one. "I see where that question is heading after we realized where this was in this catch, the anti-serum was in my head and I had to program the terminal so you got a way to counteract what the crap in his system and you need me to save him now."
"If this was a week before she tried to get him off the base." Daniel said and they nodded to confirm that remark then. "You needed an expert to handle things, with him there, regarding your situation over Daniel's grandfather. If this is heading in the same direction Jackson's was now, well then the spasms and lethargy are draining him enough right now, that to stop the pain,
"It's getting that damn thing to earth, to break it, it's triggering the last episode once broke, the connection is going to crack. If they grabbed that recipe out of the damn computer it's the very same thing they. That is you five, and the quartet, or rather George and your grandparents, did for Daniel. But the bastard that did that to his grandfather was keeping it up the pain and bleeding to bring him back 636, in his now."
"The spasms are going to continue until he brings it back to earth and replicates it, before giving it to everyone in the academy. It's the very same thing, whatever these caffeine pills are tanked with is the same as breaking the connection." Quinn said and Pulaski, Beverly and Anenzi nodded. "So we break the link by creating the antidote and then drain the toxins from his body?" Geordi asked and the trio nodded to him.
And in confirmation to that. "That is if there is not shrapnel still down there, though there is that just helps it along. As that drained 1/3 of the contaminated blood, and we do a surgery and medical cocktail to bring his fever down. While we're dealing with his other injuries, we just to got mix it with something, with him too sick and thinking it's that damn headset." Will said and they nodded in agreement to his thoughts gently.
"So you catch the guy after he deliberately broke orders from you, and send him to your father Will, okay." Anenzi said and he nodded. "Like we said, we saw this before at the moment, but instead of the surgery being done on the base. We pretended that Danny escaped when we sprung him from the base. As he once at the airport in Colorado Springs that did it as the pain ended then." Jacob said and Hammond finished that.
"I saw this before in my Danny, but what I can say is that those spasms you saw, are possibly the effects of the control drug are fading in him. But once the last one is that wearing off, she's trying to walk him out the front door. Daniel ordered me to do whatever was necessary to keep him from being walked out the front door. Before we staged things, regarding your uncle, Jack." he said and Jack nodded to the news, smiling.
"I take it you practically raised our grandparents yourselves, once they started serving under your commands General?" Daniel asked and he nodded. "Yes and you're all the spitting image of your grandparents, son. But you're what your grandfather was like in the job, you and Jack, you are just like your grandfathers. That I had to break up their playful bickering matches at times." he said and the duo started laughing.
"Yeah no kidding, us or our grandchildren, nothing ever changes, but we tend to drive our mentors crazy with the bickering." Jack said and he chuckled and nodded. "Yes, well you guys I can handle it, but hearing in any generation in your families, I'm not putting up with it after dealing in your generation. After 25 years of that." Hammond said and he nodded as they heard his grandson said it to him with a chuckle at that remark gently at that.
"Talk about a repeater for you huh, if we're that much like our grandparents you feel like this is what things were like after the orbital attack and nearly three months. Prior to 636, right?" Tom asked and they nodded to him. "Yes that's it exactly, but you start going at it and you're all going to get it." Jacob said and Anna started laughing at that. "Alright young lady, pull yourself together." Picard said with a bemused smile to that.
"No Wes forget about it, at the rate this is going you're going to break your ankle next if you keep this up." Robin said quickly and he sighed. "If this was your grahdfather, he's acting the same way right now, but your grandfather. He thought about others." Jacob said and they nodded. "Robin you don't know the crew or my mother in the way I do, and if it means making sure that thing never gets off the ship."
"I'm finishing this mission, thought I doubt it's the only try they're going to go for, because we hit the halfway point." he said and she sighed as Jenson said it to him at that remark in shock as he answered him. "You have got to be kidding, to implicate her you're allowing her to drain you this much, well just pull it over already. You keep this up, you're going to drain yourself completely right now."
"At whatever level you're at, this is going to cause your system to crash a second time if this keeps up right now Wes. The last time we saw you like this was after Soong hijacked the ship last year." Jenson said in shock at that as he sighed. "No kidding right now, after the attacks that's enough to make it clear." Will said crossing his arms and Beverly nodded in agreement to his thought at that.
"To end this and get her arrested, you're draining yourself into exhaustion, that's going way too far son." Morrison said as he walked in, in time to hear that. "Your version of Bill?" Daniel asked and they nodded to him. "That was our thought when we realized this as Data freed us at the time, Admiral." Beverly told him and he nodded to that. "That's the idea, she's getting implicated now for attempted conspiracy and secondly."
"For nearly landing me in the E.R., because she's the reason I'm trying to stay out of range and keep from getting caught at the moment. And draining my energy levels while doing it right now, Doctor, that information and the pills I just gave you. But you, mom and Dr. Anenzi are going to have to call medical intervention here, I'm intending to make sure I don't leave too soon."
"Because whatever's in those pills is the reason for the medical alert she called out, I'm fully focused at the moment and with it. I'm a medical born who's mother is an M.D. and my best friend's father is skilled in rehab. I'm taking Dayton's prescription to handlr this and sevondly Derek doesn't know a thing. Where health and wellness comes into it right now, I folllowed the regime."
"And kept to it for years, but it's clear to me right now that Derek's been arrested once too often right now. But to you, the fact you had a student, a cadet that matches me in everything, my complete equal right now. I know you're seeing me everywhere he is, from in here, to being in the pilot's chair. To helping mom in the lab with Data at my side, I know this, as for Derek."
"And to repeat Eric's remark, they've had all they can take from this at the moment and to the captain. Well it's his body can't take this abuse in the withdrawal and rebound repeatedly. But I'm a medical prodigy and I know what needs to done to end that jolt easily right now. And if this was the Novas plan now, it's I'm making sure that we circumvent it right now at the moment."
"Because if I leave after this visit and I'm putting the entire federation at risk now, it's not going to happen. And just making sure that this, if I have to guess was her plan doesn't screw up my recovery. Now that all three of you are here, it's there's the possibility after we humiliated them. Said them, the Novas, but the Novas as adults, are NID, us Gammas are SGC, but an SGC officer."
"And Hammond said this already, the SGC does the job, and going an extra five miles to do a job, Daniel did it in order to find Carter and O'neill's grandparents. But at this rate, it's a matter now of dealing in trying to prevent this thing from jumping ship onto another or worse getting to earth in the way they did. And if it means I'm home for 18 months I've got a job to do right now."
"And this is what Brad's grandfather did when he was our age." he said and she sighed as the group sighed. And knowing nothing was going to change his mind as he went further then as he looked between them. "But our job shifted from an alien incursion and right now to conspiracy and sedition and it's not one planet or another, but three at once, and it's preventing it from getting off the ship."
"As to why it's because whoever our culprit at the academy clinic is, he's just crossed the line, said line now. Is he's framing others here, that's the reason she's here, but someone is framing every second in command of every flagship we have. And for unauthorized medical prescriptions we're the latest ones on the list, at the moment now, but that where it gets worse for sickbay."
"But it's Anenzi that got hit next, and I'm the patient, he's being framed for right now." he said and the group nodded in shock to that news. "To make sure they all get arrested, you're pushing it to the limit?" O'brien repeated and he nodded to him as he looked at him gently at that as he said it. "Yes and it's because we have K'tarian at the academy infirmary, we had to chase down Maxwell."
"And finally comes the fact that we have a possible Aldean on board the ship. But if this was an alliance then we have to prevent their plans from leaving the Enterprise now, Chief your grandfather knew Tommy's. I ran into Tommy when I was at the academy and he said the same thing. But Doug, Amy, Tony and Janie, they all said the same thing, our families were all on board Atlantis."
"So as a result, it's like them we got to keep the wraith from getting to earth. But either way, if it's not a virus like the polywater virus, let alone some other level IV virus we got to treat something like this in the same way now. If this was a foothold we have to prevent it from getting off the ship. They had a pretend foothold going on inside the base, well this went past training."
"And right to real in the same way this did, and Tommy said that Brad's grandfather risked a lethal dose of radiation. Just to save Sarah's grandmother, I'm not doing that, but I'm making sure that her plans never get off the ship." he said and O'Brien crossed his arms. "You got the name of the guy who prescribed you those pills, because if we find a duplicate of those same pills."
"On board the ship and on whoever the secondary host is, they're both winding up behind bars when we get through with for nearly killing you if this starts a second time, or a third after we arrested the secondaries, and if you have your system crash in the middle of this, but honestly now. Your body can't take this type of abuse and the last time I saw you looking like this at the time."
"It was after Soong hijacked the ship last year, if these spasms trigger a seizure of the type the captain dealt with and this bastard is the one doing it?" he asked and Wesley nodded to that in agreement then as he said it to him. "Yeah I do, his name is Ensign Davi Loffler, that's our mole in the academy clinic. But if these are part of her plan, I'm safer, once this is finished around you guys now.
"As to why I'm saying that, it's because I doubt this situation is over right now at the moment." he said and sighed as he finished. "Before you say it, Data gave me the riot act already regarding this and the fact I didn't tell you till the last minute. I know I'm in trouble right now with you guys, but you can let me have it later, okay." he said and they nodded in exasperation at that as he went further.
'God kid, you keep this up and I'm not going to make it to my next birthday, though if you're home for the next year, that helps.' The ten all thought together as he went further at that. "We've had several old memories breaking down the front door regarding this situation and I'm using that against her by taking back control. It's my computer program that caused the lights to go out."
"But you remember the sentient programming I created, the captain's orders regarding if you guys all got infected and I was the last one standing at the time?" he asked and they nodded as they smiled at that as they got it at that remark. "Yes, we do, the captain said if we got compromised and it's a matter of mind control, you had permission to pull this a second time and..., whoa."
"Alright that's what you did last night, the sentient programming puts the ship back in our hands. And you had to wait til Data hit all of us next, to pass the control back to us members of the engineering team now, your team." Shimoda said and he nodded to him and he smiled at that as he answered him. "Yeah that's it exactly, as the the engineering crew, it's up to us to end this together now."
"But I was following on my orders given to me by the captain himself. One year and four months to the day, our conversation on the bridge when we discussed this." Wesley said and MacDougal and Shimoda nodded as she answered him as she remembered that conversation, as she sighed as she answered him then as they exchanged looks, looking between the duo that were with him during the virus incident.
"Yes, you mean you decided to pull it just to get this to work now." she said and he nodded as he answered her question. "Lovely last year's conversation regarding the computer mainframe just hit the table, and the captain gave you permission to do it. Well with that in mind, it's using everything we did regarding screwing around with the systems, Lal, when we tell you, activate the system."
"Because you're tapping into the tractor beam and catching her ship, but listen to me, I'm going to try and get her to think Data got everyone freed. So she can double check right now. While they're trying to chase me down. So no more guards, aside from Macgregor, if he's not working for her at the moment. But we have everyone, but a select few that are not next to the monitors."
"And the computers are cleared now." he said and she nodded to his idea as she said it to him. "This was a good idea, but trying to do it solo was going a little too far right and definitely when you're in no condition for this right now." Haden said to him gentl at that remark. "Once we do that, we lock onto her ship with the tractor beam and that's it, we won this round and we turn it to the adults after that."
"Because there's got to be a select few that still have the secondary programming. And it's fifty clean officers to every one compromised officer after that." Robin said to her gently and she nodded to her and the light beeped once and she hid a smile as she went further before Macdougal said it to her. "Last time the virus we had running amok caused you to take control of the ship here in engineering."
"And that was thanks to your being intoxicated at the time, but it took close to 15 hours to get in here. Just before we realized we were in the path of an oncoming meteor at the time. But that's what he was referring to right now, Robin, but to explain this gently it was the first few weeks. Before we had a traveler arrive at the time Wes programmed his tractor beam into the system."
"But not realizing he was preventing the infected from getting into the control room then. He was doing our job for us at the time, alright so to clear this up now honey. But you immediately got to work on this and while we, the commander and I. But we broke down the shield and you came up with two more ideas in that situation, though exhausted you still did it."
"But that time, it was thanks to being intoxicated and we were all more than irrational at the time, thanks to the fact we were all intoxicated. And this time it's being completely in control and in your case you're now fully focused at the moment. But back then it was a matter of life and death in the case of the ship, this time it's a matter of survival regarding the federation."
"And just like when you were 15?" MacDougal asked him quickly in shock to that. "Yeah that's it exactly, I pulled the same stunt just to get the ship out of her hands. And back in yours, now that Data just broke the conditioning on you guys. Though I'm acting like our little parasites that hijacked it at the time over the previous four years, the Nanites, the Iconian computer programming."
"But the virus and of course the beacon, but I added all the clues together and took over." he said and she smiled at his idea gently then as they exchanged smiles. "Nice touch kid, she doesn't realize any of this, but then you've been gone, and in that time you sometimes forget these things and as to why exactly right now. Because we buried the memories of the first four years to protect you."
"And everything you're using against her is something she doesn't understand right now. Though that just made it clear right now, she's screwed up in her plans now." Jenson said with a chuckle to that remark. "Yeah, but listen to me, to prevent her from getting to you again guys, it's time. Now to reactivate an old memory now one one that only you can do now, Sarah, you too Jim."
"Because this was another trap, I'm reversing the ambush and I need your help with that, because it's getting her to think you're still under her control, or not." he said and the quintet exchanged looks as the Chinese officer answered as he said it to him. "I get the idea, as they were getting the chips back into place, all, but ten were put back to keep us there till the scenario ended." Frakes said, smiling at his idea then gently.
