I realised I never disclaimed ownership, so here I am; NOT MINE!

Anyway, on the subject of pink bunny virus', my pink bunnies are different from Cha Oseye Tempest Thrain's pink rabbits. For one they can't talk. Two they are cute, actual bunnies, they look real, except that they are pink, they don't mean to cause any harm, they're innocent bunnies. Three, there isn't a three, here's the next chapter:


Trip was working on some long over due reports at his desk. How on earth he ever let things get this far behind he didn't know. He'd already finished an entire flask of coffee and was on the verge of going down to the mess and get some more when he heard the confused cursing of his 2IC, and then promptly a few seconds later, "Aw, look they're soo cute."

He rolled his eyes, and heaved himself out of his chair, making his way over to the station she was working at. When he reached it he had trouble surpressing his amusement, which resulted in a most unflattering snort emerging from his mouth. Jen's updates had sure made all the difference.

Pink and Red hearts were fluttering down the screen like rain, gathering in piles at the bottom. Half a dozen pink fluffy bunny rabbits were playing joyfully in them. On the right hand side a particularly boisterous rabbit, male (you could tell as it was a lighter shade of pink, the females were a shade lighter than Barbie pink) was chasing after a shy looking girl rabbit. Trip watched as she hid underneath the growing mountain of red and pink hearts, and he dived in after her. After a minute or two he resurfaced looking thoroughly pleased with himself, she followed, as did ten baby bunnies.

Again he let out a snort of laughter.

"Ahem." Trip started, he'd almost forgotten Hess was standing next to him. "Sir, What the hell is going on?"

"I wouldn't know." He replied, and began to walk back to his mountain of paperwork.

"Well, what should I do, sir?"

"Just ignore them."

"Ignore them?"

"Yeah Hess, ignore em. We haven't been given any orders, or instructions that concern fluffy pink bunny rabbits, so tha's exactly what we're gonna do until we're given such instructions. Clear?"

"Yes sir." she said with a half smile, which he returned.

Back to work then Tucker he thought. Turning to face his screen, he realised that without more coffee he was going to screw it all up anyway. So glad for the excuse he picked up his empty flask and headed for the mess. "I'll be back soon Hess." He called to her, and headed out.


He hummed tunelessly on his way to the mess hall. He stopped when he heard the crackling of the comm. The interference was distorting the words. He walked over to a comm. panel, and strained his ears to listen.

"Ar---r t- --mman—r Tu—er." Ah. He'd been waiting for this. He pressed the button to respond.

"Sir? I'm sorry but I can't quite hear you, there must be something wrong with the comm." he said, as innocently as he could, he hoped the captain couldn't hear the note of amusement in his voice through the interference.

"—m- to t—bri--- im---ate—y."

"Sir I really can't hear you." He replied.

"BRI-GE -OW!"

"Er, yes sir, on my way." He said hastily, there was no confusing what he had just said, even through the static. Looks like that coffee'll have to wait.
"We have a situation Commander." T'Pol told him.

"Oh do tell."

"There was an encrypted message sent a few hours ago," Archer paused, just incase Trip wanted to confess anything, he didn't so the captain continued "Hoshi discovered it. She was onto the second line of encryption when it-" he stopped, trying to think of the right words to describe it.

"Blew up in your face?"

"Not literally, but yes."

"Why are you telling me?"

"Wha- Why are we telling you? Well you're the chief engineer for one."

"Yeh chief engineer, not anti-virus specialist."

"Commander surely you know something about computer virus'." This was Hoshi. She had until now been standing quietly out of the way, she couldn't shake the feeling that this was her fault. True she hadn't been the one who sent the message, but she'd set the virus off.

"Yeh well, not enough to contend with something like this." he lied. Truth be told he'd co-written the virus, but he certainly wasn't going to give them the chance to figure that out.

"You could at least give Hoshi a hand." Archer said, glancing across at the young Ensign.

"To be honest, I think I'd be betta fixin' what it screws up, sir."

"Fine, you might as well get going then." The captain knew when he was defeated.

"Yes sir." And with that Trip left, to run disaster control from engineering.
So I know it wasn't that long, or interesting, but still review, and ideas, I need ideas, I have a few but not enough, so press the button, go on, go on, go on, go on! thankyou
