Please introduce drum roll Geordi and Data!

The large dog and bald eagle made it to Worf's room finally. This time, Picard let his first officer do the ringing of the doorbell and he set down onto the Great Dane. A big cat's growl came through the door and the two let themselves in. Worf had hit the pad to open the door for them. There he stood, next to the door with big, gleaming teeth bared.

Picard flew out of reach of the huge cat. A sandy lion with a dark mane stood facing Riker. The captain left them to duke it out. In the meantime, one of his feathers was out of line.

"Worf!" The lion stopped and its lips wavered. "Worf, it's me, Commander Riker." The lion took a step back and released its baring lips. The klingon, looking ashamed, licked his lips. At the moment, Riker's Dane looked more menacing than Worf's lion.

"Are you two settled, Mr. Worf? Will?" Picard asked from his perch. The two ground mammals looked at him.

"Yes sir," Riker answered. "Worf, use your mind to speak. And stop licking your chops." Worf stopped in mid-lick.

"Licking my what, sir?" he asked not knowing Earth terms. Will chuckled.

"Nothing, it means licking your lips. Come on, we have to get to the senior officers." Worf nodded. His thick mane shook with his head. Picard took a quick ride on Worf out the door then flew off.

Next were Geordi's quarters. Riker, Worf, and Picard had been betting on what La Forge would be.

"How about… a bird, like yourself sir?" the first officer said. Picard mumbled a little, not really taking part in this. "Worf?" Riker turned to the head of security for an answer.

"I could see Commander La Forge as a wolf, a noble beast in your culture," he said solemnly. Riker nodded and smirked in his dog like way.

"If he is, we could have a problem for dominance Number One," Picard said with humor. He wanted to know how this was caused first off, but the captain had to assemble his senior staff to figure out the problem.

"Mr. Worf, once we reach Mr. La Forge's quarters, could you report to the bridge and bring back Mr. Data. We'll meet you in the observation lounge. Understood?"

"Yes sir."

Once again, Riker did the honors of beeping the door. Inside, they heard a small thud. Riker cocked his head and looked at Worf and Picard. "Geordi?" Will called out.

The door opened. They all looked at each in puzzlement.

"Hello!" a nasally voice screeched. A flutter of wings was made out. "Who's it?" The three were surprised to hear a real voice even as odd as it was.

"Mr. La Forge?" Picard said calmingly. "Are you in here?"

"Captain?" the voice said again. The sound of wings settled next to Jean Luc. The eagle turned to look at what had landed near him. A beautiful royal blue macaw sat on the lion's back next to the captain. The parrot tilted its head. "Captain?"

The eagle nodded. "It seems you are the only one who can speak here," conveyed Riker. The blue macaw nodded its blue head. The brown eyes darted around.

"Are we sitting on Worf sir?" the macaw asked out loud. The eagle had a smile in his eye as he nodded the affirmative. "Sorry there."

"It is… no problem," Worf answered. The macaw peered at Riker's dog.

"Commander?" he guessed again. The dog also nodded. "What the hell happened to us?"

"I don't know, but nice color Geordi. Blue really suits you," Will said seriously. Geordi tilted his head in a "come-on" sort of way. "No, honestly." The smaller bird rolled its eyes.

"We're going to find Counselor Troi, Dr. Crusher, and Worf is getting Commander Data," Picard told the newcomer. Worf trotted out the door leaving the two birds in minor chaos.

Riker chuckled again. "You two can set down on my back." Out of Geordi's quarters he went. Next stop was Deanna, then into the turbolift for the infirmary.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Worf stepped into the turbolift and realized that he could not activate it. Luckily, he had found one of the other crew members that also had a speaking ability. He thanked her for her help. After deck 9, the talking ensign left the turbolift. He continued on his way to the bridge.

He had thoughtfully sat down in the back of the turbolift, thinking about his predicament. Barely after he had begun thinking, the turbolift arrived at his destination. He trotted out onto the bridge and looked at the captain's seat, where Data had been sitting the night before.

Passed out on the floor was a white cheetah with yellow eyes.
