Disclaimer: *Sigh* Once again, I own nothing. Not even the form of the
story. The characters, setting, etc belong to paramount and viacom. The
format belongs to a credit card.

Summary: Ever watch their commercials?




Arranging another secret senior staff meeting to brief the
participants:

3 extra Gamma shifts

Persuading a stubborn slightly egotistical doctor to give up the right chemicals:
A lecture on the potence of truth serum

Convincing Neelix that putting the serum into the food wasn't a serious crime punishable by death (or
the death glare as the case may be):
A stomache ache from eating two plates of Leola root pie

Talking the victims--er, friends-- into dining in the mess hall instead of their quarters:
An impromtu (an rather touching) speech

Getting all the junior staff to not have dinner in the mess hall that evening:

A slight stretch of the truth and 50 replicator credits

Explaining to Seven the significance of the result:

Some serious teasing material for Harry-Tom-taught-me-to-well Kim

Having to wait and see if it would all come together in the end:

A hand of chewed fingernails

Watching two of your best closest friends admit they're in love and share a kiss:
Priceless


Somethings ingenuity can't buy.
For everything else, there's Tom Paris
