Chapter 21: Lower Decks And Gamma Squadron Created
"Derek if it weren't for the fact, I'm this drained, I'd just put you in detention myself right now, because this, if we were on earth, has you in the lock up for three days. Till your body is clean of what you'd been contaminating it with lately here. But the captain said certain rules and he and the commander expect those rules to be obeyed right now. We're 19, directly translated, we're under age for drinking here right now."
"How many times do you have to get in trouble, before you stretch that trust in your parents case, till it snaps exactly right now. I didn't have to hear the words either, your parents left them in charge, when they went on sabbatical. And the very top of the list in terms is that you stay out of trouble, and you get arrested twice in 6 weeks. And it's because of the very same violation that I'm not breaking as my mother is an MD."
"When on duty you're not supposed to be drinking Derek, that's what got Colin and your friends ejected. But our orders were given to us by the captain, the commander and Dr. Crusher regarding if we wanted something to drink. It was the synthethol only or basic non-alcoholic drinks, and in the outside world, not at the academy. And if we'd been back in the 20th century, that is our age is classifying us as minors, we're adults yes."
"But to them, we're not allowed to drink yet till we reach twenty one, and as our parents are both medical doctors we're not about to break habit. As our parents had us on a specific regime since we were Alexandra's age, four years ago, she was five years old. And at that age once started on a habit of eating healthy and taking everything our parents, as medical experts gave us, in vitamins and minerals, growing up at the time."
"That's 14 to 15 years of a habit, a habit that can not be broken by peer pressure, and with it, it meant staying away from the toxic chemicals as well. We're not about to break our regime when away from our parents and as to why, we do and we get in trouble, or in my case, I'm looking like this. You on the other hand, are acting like every other athlete in the sports team back then and are determined to break orders given to you."
"By the 'Coach', the team field medic and the principal, but we reported you so you'd be able to heal properly with your folks off the ship right now at the moment. But you just barely triggered the self defense/murder scenario in the book and as Charlie was protecting the female lead at the time, from you, when you're drunk. And just because we got the attention of the entire crew doesn't mean you should start drinking."
"Let alone speedballing, everyone on the ship knows you're jealous of me and Jake, because we had his attention long before you arrived. And it's the same for the quintet, but just because we do it by our intellect doesn't mean you over do it. But you're lucky Harry and Mason weren't around or that fight could have left them traumatized beyond belief right now, and I know he's going to say the exact same thing right now."
"You break the rules and your color designation gets shoved further back, we earned the right to wear our uniforms. Because we followed orders and we understand the rules regarding internal ship politics, the captain set up our regime. So to continue advanced training, we want to train, we follow the rules. That's all there is to it and you broke orders and the outburst nearly kills him in the process last month and with that in mind."
"To them you're just a rookie, a kid playing with the big boys, for Charlie, Robin and me, we're equals, we're dressed in the same colors they are and we have our ranks. To the senior staff crew, the person that deserves that second in command position of the junior crew, happens to be Charlie. But tell me, could you and your friends pull this off by making it last close to 24 hours and without getting reckless, as I said early as well."
"That attitude disqualified you from your promotion because you deliberately broke orders. And as I said last year at the moment as well, if the captain has told you this repeatedly as Charlie's in every place I was normally in was hurting them emotionally. The crew believes in mind over matter, the show I put on today and last night. Was a demonstration to just what listening in class really does for you here at the time."
"But to get down to business in that lecture, but if you want to go somewhere and you want to be somebody then you better wake up and pay attention. Because the real world is out there, and out there, in the real world, they don't care how good think you are. And who you're connected to, it doesn't matter, if you don't have an education, you don't have anything or a way to make it in life." he said sternly as Picard turned to him.
"I've given him that lecture ten times in five months since Ensign's Dayton and Lefler arrived and he still hasn't scored higher then 70% on every test. It's like whatever his problem is, it's focused on beating your scores, let alone Charlie's and you're his pet peeve. And you know I never tolerated showing off anyway, and young man, I'm making it very clear, you try that again and your hands on training is over with at the moment."
"You want attention once at the academy, it's by working hard for it, but I'm telling you that that rumor is never going to work anymore. But your parents are not going to take it well, if you get arrested for speedballing yet again. So again this is the last and final warning, you get one more chance to clean up your act or that's it. Now get to your quarters and stay there cadet." Picard said sharply and he turned and left quietly.
"You're right that's what Jared told him, the terms was, with them on sabbatical, for him to stay out of trouble. But come on, exactly how many times have we got to do this, Jean Luc, Will and I said certain rules as you're under 25. And we expect those rules to be obeyed when it comes to health here, so it doesn't surprise me. That you know what happened this soon since you came home baby." Beverly said and he nodded to her.
"Well why not, I've been around you guys so long that as the son of the CMO on the ship, I don't have to hear what you three chose where health is concerned. But at least we're not short handed anymore if we get SG-1 and Peter Ferretti up here. As the sextet can take shifts when the captain goes planetside now, but learn from the past to create a better future, and we got some research to do." he said and the group nodded to him.
"Well you got the point to what the alternate reality version to that movie series and what the episode focused on Nova was about correctly. But that's exactly what I wanted to hear from you, learn from the past to create a better future and you certainly showed that." Will said smiling at the lesson and Picard nodded in agreement to his thoughts. "Yes and I think it's time we made it clear, but that Traveler is off limits starting now."
"I think you've been listening to me and Guinan a bit too much if you said it like that at the moment, Wesley. But I knew you were going to be my best student, and what you and the duo pulled off today was a demonstration to that in your skills." he added and Wesley smiled. "Now that we figured it out regarding the traveler, I can get passed that now, but I just got singled out again on the flight team." he said and they nodded firmly.
"Who's this Locarno exactly anyway you have a problem with, Wes?" she asked and he sighed. "It's Nicholas Locarno, he's a second year, borderline first year, but like you gave me a chance, he chose me out of 150 upper classman, his year. Because of a single thing, it's because of where I'm stationed and who I'm the subordinate to." he said and Picard nodded as he said it with a sigh at that as he read it out then.
"You're stationed on the youngest version of the enterprise and I'm the best captain in the entire federation at Starfleet. And he handpicked you because you've been given hands on training all this time, we had this conversation last year. He's listening to rumors about us and you know us better then anyone in the young recruits." he said and Wesley nodded to answer as he said it with an aggravated sigh then.
"Yes and it's because I spent that four years getting to know you at the moment, but like I said last year, yes they heard the rumors, as the legends you are. But do they ever take the time to get to know you: likes, dislikes, family history, medical backgrounds and so on. I mean you seem in good health, but you've had heart problems for 15 years and you had one surgery and the assimilation nearly caused a heart attack last year."
"Deanna's son, until the last three years dad's estrangement from his father, Worf is trying to deal with both sides of himself. And the enounter with the Klingons was a result of that, Geordi's had a case of identity crisis six months ago. Followed by having his mind hijacked and being turned into assassin, Data same thing and twice in three years. And as for my mother, it's the act of ending up in the dimension, and with that in mind."
"Do these guys ever take the time to learn more about what goes on inside this ship instead of the blasted rumors, because if they did. They'd understand why I'm not taking chances in you losing your temper to the point your blood pressure starts spiking right now. In many ways you, like the commander, are the closest thing to a father I have now, if they want to cross me, regarding you guys, then they're in big trouble."
"That's why Geordi read it out and why you knew what I was thinking earlier, because you know how I see you. And it's enough that I'm not having these hotshot's tick you off to the point your blood pressure starts spiking right now at the moment." he said and Picard chuckled gently as Beverly hid a smile at the protective tone in his voice for them. "Well they ticked off the wrong person if you're saying that, but take it easy Wes."
"I don't blame you for getting protective, but you don't need to over do it." Deanna said as she started laughing at that remark. "And to answer your question son, evidently not right now, and you're right, right now, but if they heard that tirade. And they'd get the point, and you know me better then they do as a result of that right now. With the fact that just one year makes the difference here between us and I watched you grow up."
"And if we were our 21st century counterparts, you're Jackson and I happen to be Hammond and you get overly protective as a result. So don't press the issue and before you get yourself in trouble if you're still a training ensign. Or it's getting you in trouble with the JCL on board the ship right now and with that in mind. I think if they crossed that line, it's you're making it clear here to them." he said and Wesley nodded to him.
"Yes Sir that's right, but if I know anything it's this, if Nick's motive is anything, it's Charlie now. And it's also that Nick doesn't know she or Charlie are here at the moment, I found my trio and I have my quartet back. But as Robin said, he never learned from one mistake and makes another, and to her, she's not having my career destroyed so he can stay in the limelight." he said and they nodded as Will answered him firmly.
"Well if they got a problem with you just telling us the truth, they better get over it, we had that conversation already. To keep our trust and bonds like they are, you had to tell us what happened." he said and Allysa sighed as she answered him. "What the heck is his problem exactly anyway, because you're right, I'm a career officer. But I took that portion seriously at the time here?" she asked and he sighed as he explained that to her.
"If he's anyone, he's O'neill's grandfather, but to switch the argument around now, and I'm quoting Colonel Cromwell. 'Someone dropped a dime on the incursion, you got hit, you went down. And I made a judgement call to save the rest of the team.'. To which O'neill responds. 'And I saw you take off, and then I saw four months of my life disappear in some Iraqi prison.'. To him it's loyalty of a team here at the time now."
"But to Cromwell, there's no going back, to save the team he made a judgement call, to save the others, they had to pull back. He goes back to get him, that could get them all captured, that's the point of this now. But to reword the loyalty part now, it's 'what happened to no one gets left behind?'. To which I'm counteracting with, 'Oh what about me, and Josh?'. If Josh is the one that gets killed exactly here, but that's the point."
"Derek can't understand this, because he's a newly activated recruit, and he's not in leadership training. But as team leader, you have to make choices you can't always stomach to save the team. But if I was Nick and I would come forward and tell the truth on the very first day, but that's just me." he said and the duo nodded proudly to that remark as Picard answered him smiling at the remark as he said it gently.
"Yes and that's exactly the point, he's never served on the front lines, he can't understand that as team leader there are times he's got to make choices. And ones that he can't always stomach right now, but to do the right thing. That's more important then him and it's more important than you, and to save the team. It's by coming forward and telling the truth and on the first day, but that's just me." he said and she nodded to him.
"I've been on the job since I was 15, I know you better then they do and you both always made it clear in your opinions. In regarding training at the time and I gained your trust, but then our bonds turn into this and I know how you see breaking the rules. Let alone omissions of the truth and lying, and we never lie, it's the first duty. And it's to the truth, but training by example and I became your prize pupil as a result now."
"But I know you and I understand this and you better then he does, but Colonel Jackson made the right choice. And it's because if he hadn't waited till the last minute now, then someone else could get captured." he said and Allysa nodded to him. "It's not just them Captain, we have two or three new officers on board. That are going to see this as unfair, that no matter how much time goes by, you're not letting it go at the moment."
"I was around for his recovery from his injuries and helping you and Dr. Pulaski in his case at the time, along with Erica. But then I've been here the longest of the members that were under crew evaluation for promotion to the next rank up. If she, whoever it starts complaining to me that you're still holding it against them I'm reporting that to you, Doctor." she said and they nodded in agreement to that as he answered him.
"I don't believe this, did they really expect to get away with it at the moment, I mean the enterprise is your ship, we're your crew. Because it's simple when working as a crew this long, but four years together and our bonds are unbreakable. But being a crew means being a team, being a team means being a family, and though we already have family, once up here where it gets more dangerous we become each other's family now."
"That's the way it works in the outside world, we raised you since you were fifteen you'd never let us down, so if they want to lay that blow to you when you tell them to come forth. Tell them that, to save the team, which is more important then them, more important then you, and to save it, you'd come forward and tell them that on the first day, but that's just you." Geordi said for the five of them and he nodded as he said it.
"That's his problem, he's jealous that you prefer me, Charlie, Jake and Robin over him, Colin and the other hotshots like him. But then you always told us why need weapons when the best weapon of all is your mind and I just proved the point here. To what you keep telling him, and all because I chose option four and used my stealth training, as well as my medical training and added skills for this." he said and Picard smiled gently.
"Yes and now the latest test comes to the fore here and it's dealing with first duty now, but we have to work a way around. But it's like I said, to keep our trust you have to tell us the truth now." he said and Wesley nodded to him. "Yes Sir and I know that, but my one chance is by refining my program once I get Derek off the ship. But it's a cross and double here for that at the moment, but he doesn't know what I did to the program."
"My double was coerced into keeping silent and then when Nick's said that they get off on a reprimand and by trying to turn it into my word against your's such situation. It's screw that, I'm not turning on you, and I won't do it, you helped mom raise me. And with it you were saved my life, rescued me, are my mentor and he expects me to forget all that. No it's not going to happen, you mean more to me then all of them combined, Sir."
"If this was real instead of tv show, I'd just come to you and tell you everything right off the bat, so what if it breaks the duty to your friends crap. But what about duty to your mentors, your parents your adoptive family, but surrogate father, best friend, mentor. Everything Boothby said about him, I already have it with you and dad. So why should I damage my relationship with you just to save the team, why exactly, won't do it."
"So I know it, but he doesn't as his problem is he thinks it's all about the team here, but before that security guard attacked me I was checking out the rest of the episodes. That were left in my storyline now, there's 3 left and one of them brings Sito into it. Wait, wait wait, Sir, we can do that exchange program, but to do it we're getting Derek, Tony. And Richie off the ship and we meet up with the academy shuttle on 67 later, so with that."
"Lal, priority 1 message, level A, Crusher 2652785435, emergency transmission code Delta, Gamma Bravo, academy clearance code red, right to Admiral Brand's office." he said and they waited for several minutes before a woman who was Picard's age appeared on the screen. "What's wrong Mr. Crusher, if you had to speak directly to me and I have John Deladier in the room with me." she said and he nodded to her gently.
"Admiral, are Admirals Haden, Morrison, Quinn and Hanson in the room with you, because we just dealt with a foothold here. And Maxwell's breakdown is connected to this, because we got a conspiracy going on here, but K'Taris, Aldea. And the rebels in the Cardassian delegation, but it started like three months, after I started school there. It's not Macet that's connected to this, but that explains why Maxwell went renegade here."
"The reason for this call is connected to why Maxwell had an emotional and mental breakdown. But someone how and I'm not sure how, I've been seeing everything that happened to my mother and crew these last seven months since I started school there. But having the duo here when I arrived, your pre-emptive strike just paid off now?" he asked and she nodded as the quartet in question appeared right behind her at that.
"Yes son we're here, what happened exactly?" Haden asked and Wesley explained that. "Your concerns of there possibly being another attempt into the federation, they were right on target. The K'Taris rebel Etana Lol tried to capture our ship, and the adult crew got turned into drones. But your sending the duo here paid off, because Robin, Charlie, and I pulled it off, and in one shot, we did it." he said and they smiled in relief.
"That's good news son, what was the final score in this test exactly right now?" Haden asked and Picard hid a chuckle as he answered him. "Combined together, their score was 1,750,500, but separated it was 583,500, each, they, working together. Just topped the highest score there was in the no winner test, when it went from training to real." he said and they nodded in shocked amazement at the news as he answered him.
"Well nobody is going to be able to top that score when it goes from theoretical and to real. I take it you made contact with your father and Dr. Pulaski, William?" Brand asked and he nodded. "Aye Sir, we did, the kids told us the situation isn't over, but this explains Maxwell, as Maxwell destroyed the station. And the ships that were creating the reason our ship was hijacked, but they were creating these headsets."
"They're a mind control device disguised as a video game, but inducing the same side effects that the original enterprise crew mentioned when it came to the Polywater virus. Just before the mind control kicked in here." he said as he held up the duplicate headset then and they nodded. "I take it that was a duplicate the trio used to pretend they were playing it, right Will?" they heard a familiar voice say and he quickly said it.
"Nick!" he asked and he saw his team appear next to them and he smiled in relief as he answered him. "Yeah they created mock up versions to these, but Wes outsmarted her and the results were he set her up for implication. But afterwards we realized Wes was in absolutely no condition for this, because in addition to a near dislocated ankle. He's suffering the side effects, still, of Devin's knack and he's dealing with a few things."
"But all health related, it seems someone at the academy prescribed him caffeine pills, but somehow and we're not sure how, he's been seeing what's going on up here to us. But we need some added help here guys, Admiral could you send my squadron to Starbase 67 to meet up with us. Because we just caught on to that traveler's plan, and we're preventing it at all costs right now." he said and they nodded to the request then.
"But the kids created a junior version to our squadron and the quartet connected to you guys are here as well and filled us in, regarding your grandfather, Nick. Wes is considering a way to prevent Nova from destroying his career, but we need to get the only Nova. And in the group that knows she should come forth here as we make plans to do this, but Gamma, first, second and third generations are preventing a repeater here."
"Wes explained to us, regarding Peter Hanson and why you kicked him off of Nova squadron, Admiral. He gave us his side of the story, regarding the starburst and the fact that Locarno's drive regarding his motive. Over Charlie as well, and it's enough that Deanna did a mental check and saw the brother bonds between him and Wes. But that's enough to work out here, regarding to kids, and thanks for helping us out with that."
"But all in all, Wes, Robin and Charlie are planning a little cross and double cross for the Hanson cousins, Locarno and Hajar right now at the moment here. If he decides to pull the starburst for the third and final time now that J.J. tried it. But Nova, they're NID as a cadets, that is if Sito is deciding to switch sides, Gamma they're SGC. And we pull a cross and double cross in this situation now." he said and she crossed her arms at that.
"Well this is why I'm not allowing that maneuver to be used right now, Wiliam, we lost 7 cadets thanks to that." she said and Wesley nodded. "Admiral, if Nick tries it, you don't have to ask, Josh, Sito and I are your Gamma plants in Nova. So undercover work in this, but I'm setting him up to incriminate himself by his own words. I know the rules and my duty is duty to the truth, as is Josh's as well, but to save the team."
"And if I can get to Sito as well that makes 3/5's of Nova squadron that went Gamma now and even if Derek told him I was going to turn him in if he chose the starburst. He'd never believe that and say we'd never turn on him, but his faith in the three of us. This is about to become his undoing, because we're Gamma plants on Nova squadron now. So 3 plants now and Derek and two of his friends are on Nova for a couple years as well."
"But I'm working for you, the academy inquiry and the captain, if you have my crew running the investigation, I know my duty and I will do it. I have a duty to the truth, to my lost team mate, you, my crew and the federation, it doesn't matter now. In that, that they call me a traitor, Sirs, I'm doing my duty and it's a duty to the truth. You can count on me, I won't let you down." he said and they smiled gently at the declaration then.
"Thank you for that dedication honey, but what do you need from us, regarding this if we're preventing the Hanson cousins. And possibly the rest of Nova squadron from destroying your career in this?" she asked and he smiled as he answered her. "An exchange program for 18 months, you got the Hanson cousins together with Nick and Hajar, along with Anthony Farley and Richard Patterson there."
"That rumor, if he tells Nick and Jean it, is about to become their undoing as to why right now, once Sito sees the way the captain and I are around each other. She's going to get it immediately that what he told them was a complete lie. So let him and Peter spread that around if they want, because the ones in the know here, regarding that truth. But it's a basis of rumors on hearsay and then rumors that are hard cold evidence right now."
"So he tries to set me up for political sabotage and I've just outsmarted him by getting him off the ship here as I do some added work on my computer program. But my downloading Lal into the system just came back to haunt them, and as to why now. Well it's because I'm working over time in that now as I do some preparations here. And added adjustments to my program, but Gamma's 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations."
"But all three generations of Gamma in our century are working over time to catch ourselves some NID agents as that's all the Nova are at the moment. If they choose to do duty to their friends right now and I'm taking up Commander Riker's legacy if this. But Commander, I look forward to meeting you face to face now." he said and Daniel Nicholas Jackson VI smiled at him gently as he went further then at the remark there.
"But the remarks every evil doer uses here, but Derek's over confidence is his weakness, and Nick's faith in me, Josh and Sito will be his now. If he thinks we're not telling you the truth, but my crew, my mother and I are getting ready to review this episode. And it's focused on the possible 3rd and final attempt to get the starburst right. But Sito needs to see what could happen if she doesn't come forward now in this, but with it now."
"But I'm suggesting that we exchange Derek, Tony Farley and Richie Patterson for an exchange program here, but with it. It's having Josh, Sito and Katie Higgens here on the enterprise, as Sito sees what her future could be now. If she got one glimpse of it now, as this keeps our friendship strong and she's taking my side immediately now. But save our careers by you sending her home with me, so though they think, now in that."
"That you punished us in the same way you did is the quartet now, in truth, though we lost our license to pilot shuttles and starfighters. We didn't to piloting the Galaxy class ships, but credits lost and can't advance with our class. The captain and commander told me the consequences of this last year, but if I can explain this to Sito. And that prevents her career from being destroyed as we let the duo dig themselves into a hole."
"But Robin and I've been together for a week since you sent her here Admiral, and if our relationship continues in the direction it's heading in. It's possible she's going to be carrying my child by the time that accident happens, but I got it worked out. But it's just getting Derek off the ship that and getting Sito, Kate and Josh up here." he said and she nodded as Beverly finished that remark gently as she said it to her.
"Admiral, I'm relieving Ensign's Roger Douglas, Jeremy Mendall and Thomas Janson of duty on board the enterprise effective immediately." she said and Admiral, Doctor, Joseph Morrison crossed his arms. "May I ask why Doctor Crusher?" he asked and she nodded. "Despite the fact Lieutenant Tasha Yar and we suggesting making a pact that what happened under the influence of the polywater virus was never to be spoken of."
"Ever again, they dragged it up when Peter Hanson's cousin was in earshot of the conversation when they were talking about it. And he, that is Derek Hanson, and Colin Marks over heard and started making up some very crude rumors. Said rumors implying that I'm having an affair with Captain Picard and my son got in on a case of quid pro quo, in the sexual sense." she told him and they nodded in disgusted shock to that news.
"Would this be why he came down with the flu after being over worked when you transferred to our department. And Kate took your place until the following year, Kate knocks about the knack. Brainwashing, cloning and deprogramming, I take it the second she realized this. You had to find the culprits responsible for the damn link, but the traveler is it?" he asked and she nodded to him gently.
"Aye Sir that's why exactly, we caught Hanson in the act of his lies and Colin exposed himself to us. I was in ten forward when Commander Data freed us from her control at the time, and Lieutenant Michaels said this to Lieutenant Walters. Now that we arrested another one, but this took it to new level after the entrance exam. But the knack combined with the exam and then his resentment at these guys treating him like this."
"But we were waiting for this, whoever started this and we caught them last night, after arresting secondary victim #2." Jake told him and he nodded. "Alright thank you son, and thank you for telling me that, but they are losing their commissions. There on the Enterprise as of now, Jean Luc, once docked at 67, your orders. They're to stay put until the stage 3 plan she has is neutralized, to keep it from leaving."
"So that answers her remarks and concern when she talks about Wesley, yes alright, thank you for telling me. What else is going on as a result if you had to tell me this Doctor, Jean Luc?" he asked and she explained that. "We decided to pull a pre-emptive strike regarding his career just to prevent Nova. In destroying his career right now Admiral, half of our young crew is part of the Atlantis legacy, as such."
"Admiral Brand, I'm removing Wesley from the academy for 18 months so he can recover from the amount of damage this and the effects of whatever is going on did. We're reactivating his on the job training, but I request that his sabbatical go for 18 months. And up to 22 months, this way he's got enough time to take care of things and the trio are with you. And as his team mates: Sito and Josh are with us along with Katie Higgins."
"But the rest of this season is going to have him involved in, but we just checked it out, but they did create a tv show focused on our doubles. But we're doing some alterations to the episodes here now that are left of my son's storyline. Starting with the starburst, and Sito's involvement in it, along with her joining the crew. My son works better when doing it for real and this way 2 years together now just prevents a serious problem."
"But two more years of on the job training and Sito and Josh are with us, but Wesley considered the possibility that he's the primary target meant to get it into the federation. So for the federation's sake as well as ours, I think it's best if he stays home until we neutralize Lol's plan completely right now. And with it he's got close to 30 months with us, just to prevent the added damage that Nova causes to his career now at the time."
"But 2 years to up to 2 1/2 years of separation from the bad influence makes a severe difference here. As he's keeping his side and turning into a younger version of our top academy squadron when they were still cadets themselves. But all three generations of Gamma preventing Nova's attempt to sabotage his career. And our trust is getting circumvented in our current situation" she said and they nodded gently to her.
"She's right Admiral 2 years to 2 1/2 are the best chance we have of Sito and me either not getting our careers destroyed or my dropping out of the academy. Thanks to the accident as we're true Starfleet officers and we have a duty to the truth now. As Nick and Jean see that the separation from them have done enough to change the us he knows. And to the us you know and she and Josh get to know the crew as they see them now."
"As prime candidates for staying aboard the enterprise, for me, if Robin has my child during this trip home. I'm with my family and I'm acting like a true Starfleet officer doing my duty and it's a duty to the truth. But I also recommend that we have Derek, Tony and Richie off the ship, and that Gamma squadron. Gamma squadron first generation of our century is here for the entire three years as well." he said and she nodded to him gently.
"Alright we shall do so, you got these next three years with your crew, Wesley, so back to on the job training now for you. But when would you like the trio and the rest of your squadron to arrive in the ship exactly, William?" Brand asked and he explained that. "We're heading for Starbase 67 and staying put until the the situation regarding the headset and the aftermath is done, so could you guys meet us there."
"But we're taking it slow, regarding the engines now, but it's a 2 week trip so we can have it arranged by you contacting their parents. We're contacting the Hansons, Farley's and Pattersons as they're off the ship right now, but give it 18 days. And it's because until stage 2 ends, it's going to be close right now here right now. It's going to close, and that's not if stage 3 kicks in now at the moment." he said and she nodded to him gently.
"I also need your help Nick in training him to get used to his abilities right now, because the facts of his becoming a traveler nearly caused him to collapse last year. Just after Beverly got trapped in that parallel reality here, but with you guys here. We got added help, but you guys and Tom Martell, but the four of you specifically right now. This way we can switch off the next 3 years in teams." he said and they nodded to the request.
"And it's too bad that Tasha isn't still around, otherwise we had three of each of us and we can swap off in turns right now. But if that's the catch had Q decided to alter the past, before we get further problem. But Captain, I recommend that once we meet you there at 67, we lock down and stay put. As we finish repairs and in case the third stage hits." Carter said and they both nodded in agreement.
"Too late I'm filling in her position, I'm not Tasha, but it's close enough now that he can trust me and we can switch off, Commander." Ro said, walking in as she finished saying that and Wesley smiled as Picard shook his head smiling. "Then I'm promoting you to junior grade as of now, Ro, she was one rank above you. But same personality and it's close enough in comparision now we got it worked out finally here at the moment."
"But the show got switched out, but I get promoted to admiral, I'm not leaving the ship as Will becomes captain now. But we're back to nine again with you filling in her place now, Ro." he said and she nodded to him. "Is that your real name?" Wesley asked and she smiled gently. "My first name is Laren, but Bajoran customs..." she said and he nodded as he finished that smiling as Brand exchanged smiles with Picard at that.
"Right, the family name came first, before the given name, but with the fact we're changing what the show laid out right now. You never left in year seven, Sito doesn't have this on her head, I'm not resigning from the academy. The lieutenant never transfers to Deep Space 9 along with the O'Briens and the ship is never destroyed. Because combined together the commander and I have enough power now."
"To save the ship at the moment now, but every situation in the episode focused on me now, it's just gotten replaced now. I'm looking at this pretty closely right now, but the season were three more seasons from here and we end up finding Kirk in the process. But everything from my storyline to when they get married is getting replaced by the changes we make because our grandparents are really our past lives so with that."
"It's learn from the past to create a better future now and with that in mind right now, we start from here. So with that, Admiral, you mind about having the descendants of SG-1 and their friend on board the ship for the following 10 years?" he asked and the group smiled. "That's too little, too late Will, you never knew this as there were two of us, but my cousin is the one that caused so many problems for your squadron."
"Added truth here is there were two O'neill's in starfleet, one in red and the other yellow at the time, I'm the one that stuck by the duo. And until our grandparents had the team back in one piece here." They heard and a man looking just like his former rival, at the academy, came into view and he nodded. "One in red and let me guess here, but he switched his name from John to Jack to frame you."
"So you're the Jack O'neill, who's grandfather arrested his twin for what they did to Jackson in 1998, right?" Picard asked and he nodded. "Aye Sir, John is in security detail, I'm command and flight training, but our entire unit from back then is in one piece. Dan had two best friends, I'm the other, but John got kicked out of our circle ever since, Sir, Admiral, I highly recommend we send Frasier too."
"But our entire team with Hammond and Carter busy with dealing with the Cards at the moment, but John is as paranoid as Maxwell is." he said and the sextet nodded with bemused smiles at the derogatory name he gave to the Cardassians as Haden answered that. "No that's fine if you need extra help here, Jean Luc, but I'm just saying this, that if there's a third plan and it involves you now, son."
"Then you're staying with your mother and we can add this to the time extension, but for your friends, Wlliam. Your squadron is going it at 13 years leading into when you're ready to take command of the ship yourself. And when you and counselor Troi possibly get back together right now." Haden said and they nodded as Will looked at Deanna and then smiled as she took his hand.
"Admiral, I was doing a swift scan in looking up that episode, the one just after I return to the academy, and his determination of this: the motive, and the catalyst. And we were right, he pulled the starburst at the time, as Josh is killed in the explosion. Nick and the girls decide to cover up in the accident, and with them the Hanson cousins now. And I'm trying to figure out how to get it out of this, expose it for what it really is, to you."
"And before you realize what caused the accident in the first place, as veteran members in Starfleet there is only one maneuever that could cause this type of accident. And once you hear the words 'igniting the plasma.'. As to that I'm just doing your undercover work for you, as a Gamma plant on Nova, but I'm pulling a double agent motif. But we play back the entire episode once you get our parents to the academy, if Josh is killed."
"Sito and me, we can be your double agents as she's pretending to side with him, until we revealed we double crossed him as he's stripped bare to the entire academy. As their beliefs on him get contradicted in the outburst as we reveal to them, Derek and Peter. That we've been working for you as the enquiry and the investigation team all that time, but either way, I'm never turning on you and I'm doing this right thing here."
"So it's not going to work this time, the second you arrive at the academy, it's we have to call security emergency, alpha two code clearance. That's the only way to get me out of the academy and away from them just so I can tell you the truth and you and Brand ask me to go undercover for you. But it's means another stage acting case in this, with my recovering from a broken arm and concussion, it's enough you'd look into it."
"But it doesn't matter what they say, I never lied to you before and I'm not going to start now, especially not for them. But I'm just repeating his argument now, but they don't want to tell you the truth, and they don't have a problem with this, but if I do. Than resign my appointment to the academy and walk away, but don't make them pay. For my guilty conscious, it's not going to happen, I'm coming to you and I'm turning them in."
"So it either works or it doesn't, it works and I'm turning him into you for breaking the restrictions despite the fact your generation prohibited this one from use. It doesn't and someone is killed same reason and the added touch to it is I'm working as your undercover agent. What with the fact that you're running the investigation into the crash, and I'm serving as your plant on the team, Sir." he said and Picard nodded firmly to him.
"Alright we agree with you son, so all three generations of Gamma squadron are doing this together, once your squadron arrives. And you exchange Jaxa, Higgins and Alberts for Hanson, Farley and Patterson. But again until you're fully recovered and we know the virus the triad created. Is now completely neutralized, you're staying up there with your mother and your crew, son."
"But you got these next three years with your crew and it's back to all the job training, as you're a skilled Starfleet cadet/officer. And you all know what you're doing, so we're leaving this in your hands now." Morrison said and they nodded. "Sirs, I'm making one last suggestion, but best to delay Nick's moving forward, he's a 3rd year barring second year so delay for a while in his graduation now."
"He stays as leader of the team, but at times the academy does five years instead of four, so I suggest you do that now for him, as his graduation starts coming closer. Graduation anxiety hits and he wants is the best the station and captain, and if anything he's going to want my ship as his placement. As he blows the good first impression on the captain by the accident and insults him while doing it, as that blows his shot."
"As once we pull this off he blows his shot and washes out of the academy, Hajar deals in being the pariah with the Hanson cousins and as for Sito and me. We're on the ship and finishing out our education, so even though we lost our license to pilot the starfighters. It's we didn't for the galaxy class ships and we spend the next few years in battle drill training exercises, leading into our final episodes." he said and they nodded to him.
"Alright again, review those episodes and this is part of your training as an officer Wesley, if someone, with the person, people, who are arrested for it. Or the people connected to them on the ship finds it unfair that we'd not let it go. Though it's been however many years, it doesn't matter, until we can be sure they won't try it twice, Jean Luc, that's your job as well, you're the station."
"So once they, the culprit on the team and the accomplices that were involved, are finished in training they're being sent to you. So you can determine this, but Wesley's ship squadron is the one getting all the attention. So we can view their attitudes until you evaluate this in however long it's been. Once done viewing the episode focused on the accident, if Jaxa was never told the truth."
"On the consequences, if these side effects of the foothold leave any side effects, I want those alterations on that episode done after he's recovered. And he's on light duty 6 months and back on the job for the following 2 1/2 for training. Report in tomorrow at 1045 hours, regarding the added side effects Beverly, Jean Luc." Brand said and they nodded as they ended it at that gently.
"Mew?" Spot asked and he chuckled. "I'm staying till you're 6 girl, but this situation, it's checking things in the follow up episode. After the accident, before my double quit at the kennel and dropped out. As I'm seeing what type of abuse, emotionally, my playmate was dealing with as it was evaluations for a better kennel, in the kennel and promotion. And my fellow kittens are getting antsy about it." he said and she gave of mew to him.
"Good word for it, for us, the promotion comes with getting a bigger quarters, if we're single, but the junior officers your age and under full lieutenant. They're bunked together right now, though if we got someone getting to antsy about this. And the results in crew evaluations could result in a fatal mistake here." Jensen said and he nodded. "I know, but if Robin gets pregnant, she and I are staying with mom here in our quarters."
"I maybe 19, but nothing's changed here, home is here on the enterprise, but I'm staying in my apartment here now. Beside with her parents on another ship, she's got you guys right now, and with you being an MD, that just helps even more. But our apartment is big enough for us and up to four people, with the stress ending right now. I can do this easily at the moment, but Hajar, she's not worth it right now."
"I didn't join up because of some silly little girl who wants to look handsome in her uniform, I joined up, truthfully, so I could keep us together. Sooner or later the committee's going to separate us, so until then, I'm making sure. That I remain under your commands and what's left of the original grouping stays in one piece here. So with that, best to see where my double screwed up and so I can alter it now in this."
"So with my probation done with by that point whoever gets assigned to the ship and sees the way we are together and then sees I'm running the show as your added right hand. As I'm just a younger version of the Commander and dressed in command red by that point. And you both got added back up in this as my team responds directly to you, it's enough they're going to get jealous that with them you're beyond stern with them."
"When with me, you treat me like you do the commander, and our bond is that of a son to his father, student to his mentor. And they see the insignia of either a lieutenant commander or full commander on my uniform. And then realize that I just got promoted to either rank and they're going to flip out once I leave your ready room." he said to them and Picard crossed his arms as he answered him at that gently as he said it then.
"I don't give damn for their trying to deal with the fact it's been however many years since the accident, I know you better then they do and we already discussed this. To keep our trust, you had to come forward, but the effects of that situation now, is likely to bear fruit. And you're getting off by being put on probation here for it, to their thoughts, but to ours, it's just to tighten up our bonds and did they expect to get away with it."
"Depending on how many years it is since the accident, I'm not letting it go in their case, but you, after 18 months as this was just acting. God knows you were acting as a plant, faking the entire involvement in that cover up in regarding whoever was killed at the time. But I know you better then they do, I watched you grow up, you've been under my command, since you were fifteen and they can't say the same right now in this."
"Why, well it's because they're the ones who lied to her and your parents if this does result in killing another cadet. And the trio, whoever said that they, the bulk, don't want to come forward has just signed their death warrant at the academy now. And it's because they'd rather lie and cheat to stay there instead acting on honesty. And this was another test we as your superiors set for you and with that in mind now here."
"After however many years involved in this situation the results have come back and you're a first year cadet and you passed evaluation. My evaluation is you earned that promotion and a chance to move forward without having to be repeatedly reminded about it. If they say that's not fair, it doesn't matter, why, well: it's they participated in a cover up that impeded my investigation, lied to a superior officer, emotional blackmail."
"But for incompetence of command, for failure to abide by safety regulations during a live flight exercise and test, for negligence that contributed to the death of a team mate. And the near murder of a second, for lying to a superior and falsying a report, for use of peer pressure of said surviving team mate. To get through this, they had to come forward together, but they did not and is it any wonder how I would view this."
"In regarding the character of whoever was assigned to the enterprise, and when we had close to 2 1/2 years in our bonds because of these next 3 years to that point. And I know you'd never lie to me, not about something like this, this serious. And we had that conversation before you left last year and if you were in trouble. Then you had to tell us immediately, so we can deal with it together like we always have, you being my student."
"And did they expect to get away with this, emotional blackmail and say if you can't do what they ask then leave and wash out of the academy. I don't think so, we've spent 3 1/2 years getting you ready for this and that crosses a line they can't take back. And when I'm the prosecutor for that hearing at the time, Andrea is going to ask us to do forensics anyway, so there's no getting around this and with that in mind."
"What did his double say to you if it took my busting you to get you to come forward exactly, because when we do this investigation. And you already know what I'm going to ask you to do for us in this, double agent, Lieutenant." he said and Wesley nodded. "Aye Sir and yes I do, I'm not letting them get between us, or throw away my career. So they can save their necks, it's simple right now, but to save the team, that's more important."
"Then you and it's more important then me and if I was in your place, I'd tell them truth on the very first day, but that's just me." he said and Picard nodded looking at him with a gentle smile. "Yes and with that attitude you'd earn that promotion quickly, so though stuck on earth it doesn't matter, I'm still your superior officer. Our bonds are strong and I'm not having your career destroyed just so they can save themselves from expulsion."
"But this situation is not worth destroying your career and definitely when you're taken already, with what Robin told us, regarding him and Jean Hajar. They cross that line in this and there's no going back then." he said sternly, and Wesley nodded. "Yes and for obvious reasons, you know every maneuver in the books. But it just takes one remark mentioned to get you to realize it, and said words being 'ignite the plasma.', as well."
"And they're screwed, but with the fact, you're making your own judgements, regarding me the next 3 years that's going to be their undoing now. Because 3 years separated from the squadron in my case, and 2 1/2 in Josh, Sito and Kate's and that seals their fate. Because 1) is the fact that after 3 years I've changed here and turned into a young adult version of the commander at the time here as I grew into my potential."
"2) is that we're starfleet born cadets and we've been together so long that 2 of the final 3 years at the academy is under both of you. And 3), 3 years changes a person, as does 2 years away from them and by the time the accident happens I'm more Starfleet officer then they are. But weighing them on a scale against my loyalty to you, my family, both generations and Starfleet itself, come on there's no contest, it'll always be you guys."
"But it doesn't matter how much time goes by now, you're not letting it go whatsoever, and it's for several reasons here regarding that. But what's the first thing you taught me when I became a Starfleet cadet now exactly. And you've been telling me this for three years, and though our first meeting didn't give a very good first impression. That it didn't matter I know you better then they do, I always did, but year two made the difference."
"But the things that Boothby says about him, I already have it with you and I made a promise. That if I was in trouble when it came to training I'd tell you immediately and come forward so with that in mind?" he asked and Picard nodded as he read out that lesson. "A Starfleet officer's first duty is to the truth, be it scientifical, ethical or responsible and it's the founding principle in which Starfleet is based now."
"And I understand why, but it's not you that lecture is being aimed at right now, you're my prize pupil and I never doubted you'd make a very fine officer now either. The fact you're willing to take initiative here, regarding this only just shows that. And even more right now, but trying to keep quiet, just so you can get the mission done. That takes a lot of courage right now and I've never been more proud of you now Wesley."
"You demonstrated the acts of dedication and courage not many could have in this situation or taking the initiative now when it comes to going against the whole." he said and Wesley nodded to him. "Yes and with that in mind, it's not just you they're insulting or even Brand, but the entire crew. As to why we're always doing investigations, but come on, all it takes is you hearing the words 'ignite the plasma' and it's game over."
"Because you're looking up the only maneuver that uses it and then realizes they screwed up the measures, again. But the big one is insubordination, recklessness and dishonesty and only one thing destroys your life and you're branded for life after that. Case in point is the movie focused on the toys coming to life and a kid branded as a troublemaker well that's what this is in the girls case, it doesn't matter now."
"How much time goes by, they're under probation until you, as the senior officers, decide to lift it. For me, I was a double agent and I did my job, but my loyalty is to you and the admiral, with the fact that the original enterprise hears this. And McCoy's at the hearing along with the ambassador. They hear this and they're going to see it the same way you do, the trio, to them it's lying, cheating and breaking the rules, and it kills a team mate."
"As they get the reason why I was sick of being treated like this by the hotshots, I'm a Starfleet officer, I know the rules, this is my job. But what's the first thing you always taught me here at the time, well now it's on the opposite foot here, if they try this. As they see what it's like to have something like this as the elephant in the room. And nobody ever letting them forget it or move on." he said and Picard nodded in agreement.
"Yes and once we do these next 3 years, they choose that choice there's no going back here at the moment if they choose that. Next question is whether or not Locarno believes him, regarding this or not, because if his faith in you is that strong. That's going to be his undoing, and you're correct, his faith in his friends is his weakness. Why, well it's because 18 months to 3 years separation changes a person, but bonds are stronger."
"Faith and trust is also twice as strong as it was before, so they chose this and it's over." he said, and Will nodded in agreement. "Well we can check out the episode focused on the accident tomorrow, but I want to see how things are going to go. And when we decide we're not letting this go no matter how much time goes by right now. As this is a case of Wes just turning them in and her knowing she should have told the truth."
"As you just make it clear and say everything I'm thinking with Nick and the trio on board the ship, but sorry young lady, no matter how much time goes by. Until you show us you're never going to try it twice, and with our ship, we're not letting you anywhere near that helm." he said and Picard nodded to that in agreement, but before he could answer they heard a different voice answer him, with a puzzled tone to that.
"Isn't it slightly illogical to be holding that against an junior officer. Because of something done at the academy at the time back then, Captain. Depending on the time it has been since the incident?" he asked and Picard turned and crossed his arms as Wesley said it for him, before Picard rested his hand on his shoulder. "You a Starfleet born, Ensign, because if you were, you would know the answer to that question, as to why."
"The fact of this type of transgression is enough to be held under scrutiny no matter how many years go by. I know you, Lavelle and the trio are trying to get our attention, and by showing off to us, but if I said once, I said this a 100 times to all of you. You want a good recommendation, you have to get to know us and get into normal conversation with us. Which is something the boys and Lefler do all the time, they are my prize pupils."
"But if you took the rumor Hanson told you about Dr. Crusher, Wesley and myself, and without asking that shows you don't have what it takes. To make it, either on my ship or any placement in Star fleet, as such, I am giving you only one chance. Like the duo and Samuel, that attitude cuts no dice with me, Ensign Taurik, he is my prize pupil. And soon enough those rumors turn real and when they do, your theories are your undoing."
"As such, you mess with my son's carer, I will destroy yours, is that clear?" he said to him sternly and Jake swallowed hard at his tone and Wesley finished that. "And to answer your question on it being illogical to hold this against someone for crude rumors. No, if it's because of lying about a cover up, then no it's not illogical, but let me ask you something, would you want to have that hanging over your head right now."
"No matter how long it's been when your former class mates's rumor is based on crude rumors due to breaking a pact that everyone involved swore to keep silent. And yours is based on hard cold evidence, no matter where you go, you say your name. And the next thing you hear are these words 'oh I heard about you, I heard that you got arrested. And for a scandal, regarding Dr. Crusher's son and you setting him up for the accident.'."
"That you were caught, before you plan was finished to try and discredit Crusher, and in the same way that your hero's are did to Jackson. But the Gammas turned the tables on you and Crusher lead you right into his trap at the time here.'. So tell me, do you want that on your head, no matter how much time goes by no one ever lets it go now. In Starfleet, because your self destruct switch here in that is envy of the lime light."
"And you're sick of hearing your rival's name every where you go, that you self destruct and decide to sabotage your rival, but your plan backfires. And what's even worse is that squadron member that was killed knows that the surviving member's girlfriend was pregnant. And you're now responsible for one death, but nearly three more, one out of the accident and two more out of heartbreak, would you want that on your head."
"You destroyed a family and everyone connected to them is never letting it go right now?" he asked and the young Vulcan sighed. " No I guess not, but that's still illogical." he said and Picard crossed his arms at that. "To a full Vulcan that's illogical, but to your ambassador, that's Spock, Admiral Spock, he'd agree with this wholeheartedly. And I just passed the test he's been running since since he too was a cadet, and to him."
"He'd see this as no matter how much time goes by, that it doesn't matter until the said person proves that they're never going to try it twice, and that they changed. None of the adult are letting it go and it's still a very large black mark on the record, ensign. And I'm a full lieutenant now Ensign, and believe me, start dragging this up. When in crew evaluations, and it's enough that's it's going to have you expelled from this ship here."
"If you don't like the way the captain runs things you can leave, but I can guarantee, that you're not going to find a more lenient commander on any ship in the fleet." Wesley said sternly and Geordi stood up as he completed that sentence sternly. "I hope that Spock hasn't left on his mission yet right now, because we're taking this directly to him, Ensign." he said sharply and the young Vulcan straightened up at that remark.
"That is not necessary Commander." he said quickly and Wesley nodded. "Why is it because you respect him too much and don't want to lose his respect. As 'dad' said, rumors can turn real and when they do, they just dig you into a deeper grave. And by political suicide now, five words Taurik, he is adopting me later and sooner or later. Those rumors can officially destroy your life as they become, to others, true now, as such now."
"Is that why you don't want us calling Spock, for his opinion, or is because you know what he's going to say, regarding broken restrictions, attempted political sabotage. And attempted murder on two counts right now, hmm?" he asked and the Vulcan sighed. "And that's enough ensign, report to your quarters, all officers are on stand down till 1000 hours tomorrow." Geordi said and he turned at that as Wesley sighed as he said it.
"Hold it pal, why don't we just do it now at the moment." he said as he dialed a new transmission at that and five minutes later an aged Vulcan appeared in the image. "Commander Spock I read you Enterprise, what is the reason for this transmission?" he asked and Wesley went to his question. "Ambassador you see this as illogical that the academy and other officers are still holding scrutiny over a cadet."
"When not only was the said involved in a flight accident at the academy, the starburst, but they lie to cover it up and the surviving member's soulmate is pregnant with their first child?" he asked and they watched his eyes go stern. "Who of my fellow Vulcans said that, because no, it is not illogical at all. Until we see they will never do it again, we will not let it go Lieutenant." he said and Taurik swallowed at that.
"The captain's adopting me Ambassador, the rumors your subordinate took without clarifying are about to turn real." he said and Spock nodded gently. "Yes I heard the rumors, but it is illogical to believe such lies when they are based on crude rumors. And rumors that are yet to be proven as of yet now, but based on hard cold evidence, I assume you're going to set your squadron leader up."
"For failure as he says the words that destroy his career, while whoever was with him gets assigned to your ship and is under scrutiny?" he asked and Wesley nodded, seeing the ensign pale at the remark he leaned into the camera at that. "Young man if you are full Vulcan then you know I am half human. But this is not illogical at all, because they did something this dangerous and foolhardy."
"Refusal to listen to a cadet who grew up in the field, knows the measurements and knows that he has it off by even a centimeter it can kill you. That to lie about it, till they get caught and are left being treated like pariahs. It's not illogical in my eyes, the Koyobashi Maru test was created. And for this reason exactly, of Captain told you this he is very correct right now in this situation."
"The Koyobashi Maru test was just played out and Crusher passed it clearly, now is the honesty test. And we value honesty more then anything, but clearly, if you do not have acceptance, for us adult officers opinions serving far longer. Then you yourself have been alive, then I suggest you resign from Starfleet now, I expect to see you at 67, Spock out." he said and ended it at that remark.
"Alright now you ticked him off, he's beyond irritated as his best friend is still MIA right now Ensign, but he's correct. This is not illogical at all to us Starfleet officers that are 30 years old and older at the curent moment. But again this is something that no career officer can tolerate at the moment, no matter how much time goes by." Geordi said and he nodded silently and left the room at that and Wesley sighed in annoyance to that.
"Great, to him, and Lavelle, it's no matter how much time goes by that they're seeing this as unfair and illogical, that though you let it go for me. But you won't for them, in the culprits, and to them it's like you're playing favorites, Sir." he said and they nodded. "Then they'd better get over it, because nothing's changing in our rules on this ship. Because as you said, we said certain rules and we expect those rules to be obeyed here."
"And until they show that they changed and will never do it again, we're not letting it go right now. Alright Lal bring it to the next episode that has Jaxa in it, Worf just recommended her for the conn position and I'm interviewing her, before we start on this. As Locarno has been and marginalized at the academy and it anf Wesley is now part of my senior staff as the junior senior crew leader." Picard said and it flashed up then.
"I think Sito decided to use her surname as her first name at the moment, but if that's the case, than she has me to talk shop with being the ones here. But once we do this, and I don't give a damn what Hanson says, nothing is saving that brat from expulsion. When my cub was just barely killed for the the third time in 3 years. And I have the same connection to him that my predecessor had." Ro said and Will nodded in agreement.
"2 or 3 years later give or take, I'm married to Robin and she's possibly had my first or second born by this point. And I'm working as the junior crew leader chief in charge of psyche and health evaluations. But by that point every sector on the ship is giving me their evaluations, and I'm turning them into you the day whatever the aftermath brings up now here." Wesley said and Picard nodded as he answered him gently at that.
"Well whatever they try is not going to work now, because you know me better then they do and with that in mind right now. In which case, I promoted you after you graduated from the academy to Lieutenant Commander. And while the girls are getting treated like Pariahs, everyone knows you and Joshua are undercover agents by this point now. And you were working as plants for us senior officers and you got off easy now."
"But you spent that entire 6 years training under us and we intensified the added training for you and the trio as I watched you grow up. To the point that the four of you are now skilled veterans yourself by this point and with, it to me. It's you're on the edge of making full commander yourself now by this point and as was your entire squadron. Though I don't play favorites, it's enough that your squadron itself now."
"You preferred to stay on mine and Will's good side ever since your squadron was created and you were the ones the children looked up to. And when they wanted to get into the academy, they had you five now, but we, as the senior staff, security. And engineering crew all said the same thing and it's you want to get that scholarship and a recommendation it's by playing by the rules and not showing off in class here."
"But for them, Derek Hanson, Anthony Farley and Eric Patterson they're still trying to get noticed by their fast reflexes at the moment. But it doesn't matter how much time goes by since then in their cases. And their complaining that..., Lal, show me the aftermath leading into when his double decided to drop out of the academy. Which of the girls ended up on the enterprise and what did I say to them." he said as he watched it gently.
"Well they chose my look alike perfectly at the moment, that's how I would be acting when I'm talking to a ensign that pulled this stunt." he said to him and Wesley nodded, sighing. "And like you said I know you better then they do and it's because of two reasons, 1) we spent a year together and our bonds doubled in strength. And 2) nothing matters more to me than your trust and respect, you're my mentor, my teacher."
"Like the commander, you trained me yourself and to me, there's no choosing between you or them, it's the crew and it will always be the crew and the team. Them, I couldn't care less, because I was doing my job, never let your personal feelings get in the way of what needs to be done. But then my anger was the catalyst for this now, I just lost another friend and he's a piece of my squadron, Gamma squadron and I'm making sure."
"That they all get the consequence for this, but I'm not Nova and I never was, I'm Gamma and we'd never, ever break your restrictions on a daredevil stunt. Let alone lie about it at the moment either. You saw us in our first position as Gamma, we worked as one and we showed the first true steps of becoming as a team. But I'm just repeating his remark, but nobody could ask for a better team or friends now at the moment."
"Because my best friend is still up here and I found my other at the academy, we acted on our first step as being gamma squadron by doing this together." he said, looking at her firmly. "If there's one thing I know right now, it's no matter how much time goes by here, I'm the most well known junior crew leader on the ship. Because I nearly, single handedly, saved the federation and just 18 months later at the time here."
"Exposed a scandal that exposed the Novas as the cheaters and liars they really were and to everyone at the academy. They were no better then Lieutenant O'neill after Reynolds was killed. Great it's Sito, if this was the tv show and we hadn't just figured this at at the moment now, I'm still at the academy right now. And I've lost my enthusiasm and confidence after she and the duo just destroyed my life, I lost everything now."
"My grades are falling and I'm on the edge of dropping out, before they sent you to deal with a border dispute. And I think I took sides just to prevent Worf and his security team from getting caught in the middle of a riot and shot once the phasers came out. If they did an alternate reality to Commander Jackson's grandfather and his life. It's that to prevent a riot and keep the miners getting shot, it was by pulling a boycott here."
"As his adopted people were the ones to supply the coalition of the mining company that was asking for that mineral for food and supplies. And he figured out a way to prevent the miners from getting shot by turning it into miners strike. And I did the same, just to keep Worf and his team from ending up in the crossfire between the federation planet we'd gone to and whoever was trying to move in on them at the time here."
"I know we said never to get involved in other people's wars and that's against the prime directive, but having us get caught in the middle of it. And whoever in the committee sent us there I was beyond disgusted and that did it, I lost everything I had. Everything that mattered to me now, my grades were failing and now this, there was no other way to go but up now, and if the traveler was impersonating one of the locals of that planet."
"He wanted me to feel like that till I decided that this portion of my journey was done and I chose to go with him. But not even realizing it now when my abilities, whatever he was trying to bring out in me, break down the front door. And just as Worf and his team got caught in the middle, a phaser went off and I prevented it. By whatever abilities the traveler's had and I froze time in its tracks and the traveler revealed himself to me."
"But not this time, to pull this off its either the committee send us somewhere else or when this happens. I'm doing another case of stage acting. and we go from there as the episode ending gets switched around. And when this happens it's making sure the team doesn't get caught in the middle by taking sides. And I had to, just to save a friend and his team from getting gunned down at the time, Sir." he said and Picard nodded to him.
