Captain's log. Stardate 2333.6. After a few minor technical issues The Enterprise is on course to dock at StarBase 6 where She will undergo necessary maintenance before starting Her next 3 year mission.

"Captain. The science computer seems to have a mind of it's own. I know that is a highly illogical suggestion but I cannot seem to find another way of explaining it. Or come up with a more suited, more logical conclusion," Spock said in his nonchalant tone with just a hint of curiosity tinting his voice. Kirk looked over to his first officer in confusion. He started to make his way over to the station, though he didn't know what good that would do as he knew very little about the science station.

"What?"

"Captain, I'm getting so much disturbance that I can't make out any communications between us and the StarBase and In-Ship communications as well," Uhura said as she tried a few 'communications tricks' to break through the white noise that was interfering. Kirk looked round to Uhura then across the bridge.

"What is going on? Scotty? Mr Scott? Mr Scott come in..."

"Captain In-Ship communications are down,"

"Urgh, we'll just have to go down Mr Spock. Sulu you have the comm," Sulu nodded, "For what good it will do you..." Kirk muttered under his breath as he and Spock made their way to the TurboLift. The lift coughed and spluttered for a few moments before bursting into life. Kirk gave Spock a curious look whilst directing the lift to Engineering.

Engineering seemed so peaceful, no-one was rushing back and forth, there was no panicked voices or hysterical atmosphere. Instead it was calm, the perfect working environment. Kirk spotted Scotty on the other side of the WarpCore, perfectly content with how his department was running. He was happily humming to himself, tapping in technical equations.

"Hello Capt'in, how lovely of you to join us down here. What did we do to deserve this wee pleasure?" Scotty asked, holding his hands behind his back, a huge grin plastered on his face. When looking at the Captain, however, he was fairly certain that it wasn't a social call, especially with Mr Spock's grave facial expression appearing behind Kirk. "Ahh... I see... is there something wrong? Are you not happy with how I run things? I am being dismissed as soon as we get to StarBase 6? Capt'in, please... I'm sure we can work it out, that mishap with Kahn's torpedos..." Scotty rambled, his accent getting thicker as he spoke.

"Scotty!" Kirk interrupted, "you're not getting fired! Why would you think, that you're the best engineer in the Fleet!" Scotty's cheeks flooded red, partly from the embarrassment at his outburst, and partly from his bashfulness of the compliment given to him.

"Aww, Capt'in..."

"This is not a social visit Mr Scott," Spock said, trying to regain some severity about the situation.

"Right...yes...of course. Scotty what us happening to the ships computers?" Kirk asked but only got a confused look in return. Scotty looked round him, glancing over the computer screens, he took a PADD from a near by officer, searched a few databases, but found nothing.

"Capt'in, I'm sorry, I can find nothing wrong with the computers. All of engineering seems to be working perfec'ly,"

"Then how do you explain..." Kirk started but was pushed aside by Spock, trying to get to the computers. Kirk opened his mouth to protest, but realised it would be useless. He did, however notice a flash of blonde hair disappear round a corner as soon as he looked in that direction. He slowly made his way over, leaving in Spock and Scotty arguing over the computers, wondering why any member of his crew would hide from him. He found no-one. Kirk turned back on himself, to see the person, or rather child, standing in front of him. Spock and Scotty had also appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Captain, I suggest..." Spock stated.

"Catain? So you're the legendary Captain Kirk, I read about you in a computer file some where..." the girl interrupted, "Yes, here it is. Kirk, James T. Captain of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701. Well then, why don't we play A game captain? If you can figure out what I am, since your equally as legendary First Officer Spock is having so much trouble, then... I will... turn your air filtration system back on. You've got 30 minutes. Good luck" She gave a cheeky wave before disappearing into thin air again. Kirk grew in anger as he lunged across to wear she was stood but she was one before he got there.

"Where is she!" Kirk shouted.

"Captain, might I suggest that we use the oxygen we have to find her, otherwise it will be a terrible misuse of resources," Spock spoke calmly. Kirk glared at him and headed towards the turbolift. Spock followed knowing how his captain's temper gets the best of him sometimes. Scotty just stood there, bewildered and confused.

"Mr Scott, try to get the system running again!" Kirk shouted as the TurboLift closed it's doors. Scotty snapped out of his trance and started mumbling as he tried getting the air system running again.
