hehehe, thanks youguys for reviewing! on to chapter 4...

OH! excuse me (all you hard-core trekkies) if my access codes are all wrong... if you know what they are PLEASE TELL ME! lol, it would be greatly appreciated.

The others had gotten to Deanna Troi's rooms. Geordi had been practicing his flying and was crashing into things. Picard tried to help him, but he kept saying that he had gotten it.

Of course, then he flew into another wall.

Riker had stood by and chuckled. It didn't seem that hard. You flap your wings and go. So Geordi had invited Will to fly. Riker turned down the offer. Finally, they had made it to her quarters. Again, the bell was rung. Geordi already had an impression of his voice down pat for this occasion.

"Computer, override entry – chief engineer, voice authorization La Forge, 3, Omega, 9." The doors opened. "Ta da!" he said in his voice.

"Nice work Geordi," Riker approved mentally. The two birds and a dog walked inside. When the doors shut behind them, the room was incredibly dark. They couldn't see a thing.

"Computer, lights," La Forge commanded. The lights when up and they saw a black panther laid out on Deanna's bed.

Riker's eyes widened and he ran over to her and nuzzled her. When that didn't work, Will looked at his avian comrades and licked the panther. Picard was faintly amused and if Geordi had lips to smile with, it would have been there.

"Uhh…" the panther complained. "My body." Deanna woke to find a Great Dane in her face and two large birds looking greatly amused. "Hey there pup," she crooned. Troi stretched out a hand, wanting to pet the dog. Instead a paw with retractable claws went forth, she startled.

The black panther jumped up and looked around, at herself, at the animals in her room. A bald eagle looking patient, a royal blue macaw looking amused, a Great Dane in her face looking worried, and herself! She was a large cat of some sort.

"Counselor?" Geordi spoke out loud in his imitated voice. The large cat spooked again at the sudden noise. "It's me, Geordi, the bald eagle is Captain Picard, and the dog in your face is Will Riker. Are you alright?" She nodded slowly. Deanna noticed her tail for the first time. She swished it back and forth.

"Huh, I could get used to this I suppose," she mentioned offhand. She cocked her head for a moment. "I... I can still sense you!" Troi clambered off her bed and rubbed up against Will and made her way to the birds. "Captain, do you know what's happened yet?"

"No… but I was hoping to find out when Lieutenant Worf finds Data." Picard thought for a moment. "Is this a localized event counselor?" he asked.

"No sir, everyone on board is one form of animal. Specifically, an Earth animal."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Worf felt confused. When it came to Commander Data, it was not unusual. Still, how could an android be transformed into a living animal? It boggled his mind. At any rate, orders were orders.

He carefully scooped the "android" up onto his back and carried him into the turbolift. The ensign had programmed it to go to the observation lounge when it sensed life forms in it again. Off he went to the observation lounge wiith one unconscious Lieutenant Commander Data.

When the time came for him to disembark, Data had woken up.

Data growled, as was his primary instinct.

i have a feeling that deanna is completely ooc... but thats for you to tell me!
