ELF ADVENTURES OF ME AND HIM!
Chapter 5.
Ronica and Michael exchanged looks as they both backed up behind the vid screen. They both knew they had to concentrate on their RPG characters in order to get out of this one. Ronica's was believable. She was a Supply Officer in a seaQuest RPG in yahoo. But Michael was the Captain in the RPG and that was hard to pull off. He was younger than Ronica, how could he be captain? It could happen...
"What do you want from us?" Ronica managed to say as she felt something in her head. The pain was present but it was tolerable. Nonetheless, it was painful. Michael had his hands behind his back as if he was looking for a key to press on the vid screen.
"You two are up to something. I need to find out what that is. Would you tell me?" Clay asked as both Ronica and Michael shook their heads.
"We are from seaQuest and we were asked to go up world and... " Michael began to explain before Clay silenced him with a thought.
"You know about me... how? I want to know how. Will you tell me?" Clay asked as Michael shook his head once again. "Have it your way. Captain." Clay turned to Michael as he grinned. Michael thought the worse. Was Clay going to hurt him? His own worries quickly turned to Ronica as she fell to her knees holding her head. She felt the pain all over her body. She would've screamed her soul out but something prevented her from doing it.
"Stop it. We are not hiding anything!" Michael shouted as he felt the keys and found the one he wanted. He pressed the key before Clay could react. The screen popped up and the wardroom from the seaQuest was shown on the screen. Captain Nathan Bridger was on screen as he wrote on papers at the table that was there. He looked up as the screen came on and was puzzled on who had passed a call to him without notifying him first.
"May I help you?" Captain Bridger questioned as he saw who was on the other end. Clay stopped his mind interrogation as he walked towards the screen. Great. Just great. Michael moved from the screen and checked on Ronica who was leaning forward on the ground. She was starting to breathe normally once again.
"Are you ok?" Michael asked as he helped her up.
"I think my brain is mush right now. How did you get him to ... oh.." Ronica was about to ask how he got Clay to stop his mind torture when Michael turned her to see the screen. Captain Bridger was on the screen. Michael had patched through to the wardroom. Michael started to walk Ronica out of that room.
"I am Clay Marshall. We were preforming some tests on a Mr. Tony Piccolo. He had a bad experience here in our testing area and I feel in order to get his physic abilities out and developed we are going to need to test him in a place where he is comfortable and safe. He is too tense here and that action alone is destroying his abilities." Clay explained to the Captain. Bridger crossed his arms.
" What does Dr. Smith think about this?" Bridger asked as Michael opened the door to leave the room. Wendy and Laura were standing there in the doorway, preventing them from leaving.
"Did you manage to contact the seaQuest?" Wendy asked Michael as he nodded his head.
"Clay is in there talking to the Captain right now." Michael replied as Wendy saw Bridger on the screen. She took a look at Ronica who was a bit pale. "Are you alright?" Ronica nodded.
"Spectacular" she replied as she stood upright on her own. She turned to Michael as Wendy walked towards the screen to speak to the Captain. "This really bites. My head is going to explode... I really mean it."
"Well we might be in luck. We cannot change now what is going to happen.. but we can get there first." Michael replied as he showed Ronica a PAL device.
"Where did you get that?" Ronica asked as they exited the room.
"Took it from Dr. Smith as she passed by us. Let's go. We can get a shuttle to take us to the seaQuest."
"And how on earth do you think they will allow us access to the seaQuest without any uniforms?"
"Listen, in this episode, there is an ensign stationed at Launch Bay. Let me do the talking, he will be convinced we are someone on board and important." Michael grinned, the Captain side of him from the RPG was starting to show.
"Yay.. capy saved the day once again." Ronica smiled as she composed herself and followed Michael's lead. Michael turned on the PAL and connected himself to Launch Bay.
"Launch Bay here." The ensign on board the seaQuest replied.
"This is a medical officer Cap...Lt. Michael Richardson. We need a small med team fast. Dagwood was injured during the testing here at Chatton and this place is not set up to deal with a Dagger's injury."
"This is Ensign Donver, I am not familiar with the medical staff. Please state the injury so I can send a proper team?"
"Um.. his... " Michael tried to explain with Ronica took the pal away from him.
"This is Lt. Ronica Hermosillo. Dagwood seems to have fractured his shoulder blade, the scapula. There was a direct trauma while a test was conducted. It was a rare fracture but it happened nonetheless. He also fractured his humorous bone and I am pretty certain there are some internal injuries as well. Dr. Smith is with him and Chatton is not suited to treat Dagwood. We need to run CT scans on him as soon as we can. The ice he has on his arm has not helping the swelling. We need a small team to bring up a proper splint to hold his arm in place as we transfer him back to seaQuest." Ronica replied as Micheal looked at her strangely.
"We will have a small team bring you the items you need and have them notified that Dagwood will be coming back with them." The ensign reported as he ended the call. Ronica handed back the PAL back to Michael as he kept staring at her.
"What?" Ronica asked as she got frustrated with the silence.
"Where did you learn to speak like that?"
"The medical stuff? Dr. G. Medical Examiner on the Discovery Channel.. and.. I am CMO in Starfleet game." Ronica replied as they made their way to Chatton's launch bay area. It was located under the facility as said the signs that pointed them to the right way.
"Oh that explains it. Trekkie."
"Shut up Ferrari Massa Lover!" Ronica defended herself as they made it to the location. Michael actually stopped walking as Ronica went a bit ahead and saw that Michael had stopped. "What is it now?"
"Take it back." Michael crossed his arms and stared Ronica down.
"No. Now don't be a baby and come on, its not like I said something against Nintendo now." Ronica walked a bit more but Michael still stood there.
"Oh come on Capy, Please don't be this way."
"Then take it back or I will be sure that after we get back home, I will no longer be your friend." Micheal replied as he stood his ground.
"Capy, we have known each other for so long... You know I was just kidding. Come on, please... " Ronica opened the doors to the bay as Michael sighed and followed.
"Take it back Lt."
"FINE! I take it back. You're a Mclaren Nintendo boy forever!" Ronica threw her arms in the air as she made her friend happy with that statement. She expected for Michael to smile at naming to things he loved but was greeted by another serious face and another antic of not walking.
"Boy?" Michael replied, this time his tone a bit playful.
"YES BOY! Now shut up before I throw you into this water..." Ronica threatened as Michael shook his head and waited for the shuttle. The minutes passed and the shuttle was docking. A small team emerged from the shuttle with a medical supply kit and some extra bandages. Ronica leaned over to Michael. "Follow my lead. Act your status boy." She smiled as the team walked towards them.
"We are from the seaQuest and..." One of the officers addressed the two when Ronica started to talk.
"Like yea. We are students here trying out PSI powers here in a confined area. They told us to greet ya and tell ya that the patient is waiting in room 8. Just up those stairs and to the left. Ya can't totally miss it. Now if ya don't mind, we are returning to our studies. Alright Michael, read my thoughts. I am thinking of something... Something I just saw, the number of this shuttle... what is it?" Ronica replied as she was now talking to Michael. Michael closed his eyes and pretended to read Ronica's mind.
"MR-7!" Michael repeated as Ronica clapped.
"YES! HIGH FIVE!" Ronica shouted as they did a high five. The team looked a bit spooked. They really had PSI powers. They walked out of the bay and up the stairs towards room 8. Ronica and Michael waited until they were out of sight when they ran towards the shuttle and locked themselves in.
"Michael, I was thinking, why didn't we take the other shuttles that were around here?" Ronica asked as she was puzzled by the idea as they waited for the seaQuest shuttle to arrive.
"Because, I don't know how to drive those. All I know is seaQuest..."
"Oh right like you ever drove one before."
"I read all about it. It should be easy. Just keep the picture of the shuttle between the two colors... " Michael replied as he sat himself down in the cockpit.
"What do you need me to do?" Ronica replied as she sat down in the co-pilot seat.
"Just hang on..." Micheal grinned as he turned on the shuttle and undock. He plotted the location onto the navigational computer and set the course. "seaQuest here we come." Michaal said as he followed the direction on the computer to where the seaQuest was.
