"So, do you know how long we'll be on your ship Data?"

"I do not Odo, that will be up to our respective Captain's"

"Right, well hopefully the medical emergency is handled well enough soon so that we can find out how things will work out"

Five minutes later and Sisko and Picard are in the office and gives them an update on the medical emergency first

"Now then, the two of you will be trading posts every three months, which means twice a year you'll either be on the ship or the station, Constable for the ship I need to figure out what to do about quarters for you and Data, Sisko needs to know what your specific needs are for quarters here"

"Besides making sure that Spot is well cared for basic quarters that allow me to do my work there is all I will need"

"I'm fine living with Data on the ship all I will need is my bucket, as for whoever or whatever Spot is I'll deal with any issues that arise then"

"Spot is Data's cat and that will be an interesting arrangement, but if you specifically want to stay with Data then I can arrange for that to happen whenever you are on the Enterprise, though you are entitled to your own quarters Constable"

"We'll figure things out once I'm on board Captain Picard but for now like I said I'm perfectly fine with sharing Data's quarters"

"By the way, your reports never did mention how the two of you managed your regeneration cycle Odo"

"Um well you see, we, that is..."

"That sir is because of...Odo?"

"It's complicated Captain, and part of it is because my regeneration cycle had been affected by our accident"

"How badly Odo?"

"Instead of every sixteen hours I was regenerating every 24 hours or about that long anyways"

"The actual time was every 24 hours 15 minutes he would return to his gelatinous state, as for why he stayed that ways once uncloaked it was a combination of how the cloaking was undone and how we were cloaked in the first place"

"Plus with my regeneration cycle a mess once the cycle could be returned to normal I think I went into a kind of shock that Doctor Bashir didn't recognize"

"In either case your records need to be transferred to Doctor Crusher Constable, plus we want the two of you involved in the decision on where you're starting in regards to the transfer?"

"How so?"

"That's easy Data, you two will be involved in the decision on whether your three months start on DS9 or on the Enterprise, this is especially important considering that Constable Odo will be under our security officer which is not a position he'll be used to"

"Which I don't mind since they'll know the ship while I don't"

The next hour was spent discussing where the rotation would start with valid arguments for both DS9 and Enterprise being given, but finally the Enterprise won out and so when it left DS9 it would be leaving with Odo on board and his choice of successor being in charge of security on the station while he was gone, fortunately she was already warned about what was going on and as such it wasn't very short notice on how soon she would be taking up security duties

"Don't worry sir, the station will still be standing when you get back"

"And Quark?"

"I'll keep two eyes on him at all times, even if as you've reported he's improved a lot regarding his activities that doesn't mean he's completely clean, he's a Ferengi"

"You're learning, if need be I would suggest talking to Worf about supplementing your security"

"I will, I know his record and as such I know that he used to be the security chief on the Enterprise before it was lost once"

"Okay then I'd best get ready to leave"

The next day and Odo was on board the Enterprise and in sickbay because Doctor Crusher insisted on doing a medical check, and entering his medical records that Bashir had created during his time on board DS9 so far

"I understand that it's harder for you to be injured, actually according to notes it's practically impossible for you to wind up in sickbay for medical attention, but I want to see you on a regular basis to check in at the very least, and if anything seems off you come to me immediately, especially if it seems like your body is acting like during what you yourself according to Bashir have called your solid days"

"I understand Doctor Crusher"

"I hope so, I'm not afraid of chasing you down if it's needed just as a warning"

"Understood"

"Now then, I'm done for now but I might have questions later all things considered so don't be too surprised if I call you later, have you been assigned quarters yet?"

"Yes, I'm staying with Lt. Commander Data"

"Okay then, oh...do you play poker?"

"Poker?"

"You'll see"

It turned out that his first night on the ship Odo got introduced to Poker, he ultimately decided that he may play occasionally but he also knew that he was uncomfortable with the socializing, fortunately the senior staff understood where he was coming from and would never push it. The next day before their shift began Beverly went to Data's quarters to explain things a little better to Odo regarding the Poker game he had attended the night before
