Hello everyone. Another chapter and this time it features Bloodcarver the super tribble. Thank for your support and I hope you enjoy.
I don't own Star Trek.
Tribble Care
Bloodcarver was on the loose.
The tribble usually lived in Hikaru's quarters but he had somehow escaped when the pilot left to start his shift so now he was roaming the ship leaving Hikaru to try and find him again. Everyone still wondered how the tribble could get everywhere because no-one had ever seen him actually move anywhere, never the less he still could go a long way if you weren't looking.
Hikaru searched most of the ship very thoroughly looking for Bloodcarver, he scoured Engineering from top to bottom, did a careful search in the botany lab, checked every inch of the science labs, looked in every one of the recreation rooms, searched the Mess Hall, the shuttle bay, the bridge, the swimming pool, he even crawled through the Jefferies Tubes to see if he was there but could see no sign of Bloodcarver anywhere.
He wasn't sure where to look next so he headed back towards his quarters in the hope that the tribble had gone back there. On the way he passed Pavel's quarters, the boy was ill with the cold (again) and Hikaru decided to see how he was getting on. He knocked lightly on the door and waited a moment before entering, the lights had been dimmed down but Hikaru's eyesight was fairly good so it wasn't difficult for him to see that his 'little brother' was asleep. Pavel was snuggled up under his bedcovers holding his stuffed wolf Artisky and while this wasn't surprising the fact that Bloodcarver was also snuggled up right next to the boy's side was.
The tribble was quietly purring and making soothing chirping noises as Pavel slept peacefully, Hikaru couldn't work out how the tribble had got into Pavel's room but he decided to see if he could take him back to his quarters. The pilot quietly made his way over to Pavel and made to pick Bloodcarver up. He was really surprised when the tribble actually growled at him and he quickly backed off. Bloodcarver returned to purring instead of growling so Hikaru tried to pick him up again and Bloodcarver instantly began growling again. Again Hikaru backed off and the tribble's purring resumed, he made to pick him up once more and was growled at again. This time Hikaru thought it best to leave Bloodcarver where he was and softly crept out the room to the sound of a tribble purring contentedly.
Afterwards if any of the Command Crew were ill then Bloodcarver would appear and snuggle up to them until they were better and would growl at anyone who tried to move him.
Though they still didn't know how Bloodcarver could move anywhere.
PS-There we are and I hope you liked that. Please review and I'm still looking for any ideas but I may start another story with an actual plot soon.
