Chapter 46: The Mission Begins And The Truth Comes Out IX

"What's up Wes?" he asked and Wesley explained that. "Whatever caused that fight between me and Geordi last night just hit you and it's turned into a live wire around here. But so far we've had this same problem in either physical violence or people getting testy with each other from ten different people over the last two days." he said and they nodded as they relaxed at that ad O'Brien answered him.

"So where did it start exactly?" he asked and Wesley sighed. "It started with me and Ensign D'Amato, followed by you and Geordi the night before." Dorn said for Worf as he heard Wesley repeat that remark as he explained that then. "It started with Ensign D'Amato and he got into a vocal altercation with Worf. And Worf put him on report, for insubordination, as a result of the first 10 hours after Sarek arrived."

"Later that night I got the news from Jake that the quintet were going to be at the concert. And immediately following that was Geordi and me and the commander walked in just as the fight turned into yours and nearly resulted in a fist fight. This morning mom and I got into it and it did shift to physical violence, don't ask." He said and she sighed as she answered that remark.

"Yeah and it's because I thought you deliberately skipped out, I didn't realize it was because you were attempting to keep it from happening again. And this time right in front of us at the time." Beverly said and he nodded as he answered her. "Well that answers that question, Gates, Marina, Patrick and I were wondering why you skipped out, it was because you weren't about to have another break out."

"And this time directly in front of us." Frakes said to that and they all nodded in agreement to that as they and their doubles exchanged looks at the news as he answered him at that. "Yeah, not having one start up in front of the parents and godparents and it's because with they're being inebriated and on drugs, the psychosis was getting worse by the minute around here at the time, but it's the added act of jealousy right now."

"And the syndrome unlocked the door here at the time." he said as his recorded self finished that remark. "But an hour later we had two more adults lose it and another fight turned altercation today as a result. Another an hour later and it did turn into a fight, three teenagers in a flat out fist fight in the classroom. And Hanson and his friends got into it with Jake and a friend of his."

"And I heard that Peterson and Wilcox just ended up in a fight with Davis and Renfro, just before we got in here and yours got started. But that makes 20 and if I've got to guess, than Deanna heard this already. And from ten different people all over the ship of fights breaking out, and it's either physical violence or tempers getting testy with each other at the current moment here."

"I mean normally we do fine when we don't have outside influences getting involved and suddenly we got a string of violent vocal outbursts breaking out. Or someone starting a real physical fight and it's all in the space of four days. But does that seem strange right now, I mean things are fine around here until Sarek arrived last night?" he said and they nodded as they exchanged looks at this.

"Yeah and all the evidence points to the fact it all started when Sarek and his party beamed on board the ship." Bundy said to that and they nodded. "And this keeps up and we're asking for a fight to break out, but this is getting ridiculous, but whoever started it. And I don't care who started it this time, I'm ending it, now break it up, before you get arrested here." Lumb said to this and she nodded in agreement to that remark at that.

As MacDougal answered him at that remark with a bemused look on her face. "With that, I think it's safe to say that Sarek and his party are the reason for it right now, because the outbursts of violence. And physical or no, started at virtually the same time as when Sarek and his party beamed on board the ship." she said and O'Brien sighed. "You alright now Chief?" Wesley asked and he nodded to him.

"Yeah and I haven't a clue to what caused that in me just now, but this is getting out of hand. But at the moment, and you're right, but this is getting serious right now, I mean 10 fights in the spaces of 2 days, normally we're on good terms with each other. But this time it's the act of outside sources causing tempers to get more frayed then normal around here lately and with that."

"This happens again and someone is going to start something here." he said and Wesley nodded. "Yeah and that's not if the said someone is not just suffering from whatever this..., damn it, alright, alright. Sarek, if he was human, or just a humanoid would be a Betazoid. As they get older they start losing control of their telepathy and empathy, and it starts jumping on to humans at random."

"I don't know the name of that disease, because I never looked it up in biology, but it's the Vulcan version of Addison's disease before we cured that. But if I know anything it's this, that the ones either losing their tempers or are getting violent have too much pressure on their shoulders. Or they are suffering from substance abuse and I think that explains Hanson if he got into it with Jake."

"But in the side of two days we had ten to twenty outbursts of violence or vocal fights. So far we had two last night, three this morning and three more, before it landed in here, this keeps up its turning to a full blown fight or worse. But at this rate, if the effects of whatever's causing this combine with alcohol or worse someone's on drugs and they've had one too many, at the moment."

"And case in point the quintet if they're drunk." he said and they all nodded to that as he finished that. " Jake told me Hanson was taking drugs, and possibly speedballing at the current moment right now Dave, as are Eric Jacobs and Tony Farley." he said and Jenson nodded. "What are they taking if he told you that exactly honey?" Barnfield asked gently and he sighed as he answered her at that.

"Same as our 20th century counterparts and I doubt Lieutenant Walters knows this, right now as well. But if this is what could be considered a total burnout right now, because if they're trying to get noticed by the captain or the commander. They're going about the wrong way to do it, it's not based on muscles or fast thinking, its careful strategy and knowing your opponent."

"You've been telling me that for two years and I'm on the edge of earning my uniform. And it's a result of simply not showing off, careful strategy and thinking your way out of the box. You always told me to look before you leap and so far my ideas have resulted in pulling us out of the fire, one being what started this at the time."he said and Shimoda and MacDougal nodded to that.

"Yes and in your case we've seen that so long, but then we're just like you and with that in mind. It's these kids are pushing so hard they're going to put themselves on medical suspension if this keeps up right now at the moment. Whatever this is, is about to result in, if this continues and we don't figure this out, a riot next, if they lose their tempers." Geordi said to him and he nodded.

"Yeah well at the moment we have six college athletes trying to push the limit no matter how far they can just to get noticed by the captain and Commander. But I'd say this is the say as the psychosis regarding they're not seeing my bonds with you as anything but what they think it is right now. And to them the psychosis is I'm showing off to you to get special treatment at the moment."

"But then I'm not the one taking drugs trying to cross lines in the eyes of a veteran and to him and you. You all know what that truth regarding my parents and the captain is. But remember what you told me before, regarding training, even though you needed back up when we had Roga on board. But you have zero tolerance for showing off, hotdogging, going by our gut instincts."

"Or trying to act like a hero, I took your lessons seriously since the captain activated me, and you know I'd never get involved in a situation like Roga. But these guys are trying to push the limits, trying to get passed a bunch of asteroids. Playing chicken with the Cardassians or some other fool hardy maneuver, you try that and your luck is going to run out sooner or later."

"But how many times have you guys said it exactly, how many times, there's more to the job then using your muscles. You have to use the other five subjects in high school to make it in this job, case in point the Polywater virus. But history and biology class, piloting and engineering: chemistry and calculus, everything I studied in history class on all the past ships named enterprise."

"But the situation regarding the Polywater virus took three things here at the time and with it. It took my real experience at doing this under pressure, but there's more to this then just being in Phys Ed." he said and they nodded to him. "You're right about that and you've been passing these tests with the highest scores in practical that these kids get in simulation at the moment."

"And in this case, there's more to the job then just using your muscles, but the captain and commander believe in brains over brawns, always have and always will. But you took to the job so easily that you know what they wanted and whatever project you have been cooking up is another example. But I'd consider this obsession a case of a health violation and physical burn out now."

"Though this keeps up and I'm looking at the kids that got ticked at the team captain and his gang for reporting them for a health violation and with it. If this heads in the direction of a physical burn out it maybe necessary to relive the kids of duty and in Hanson and Parker's cases. To put them on medical suspension till they're clean." Shimoda said and he nodded in agreement to that.

"That's what I'm worried about right now with you cub, you been getting some serious circumstances since you activated at the time, but this. You're not an adult but still just a child right now, and it's our job to take care of you." Frakes said to that with a sigh as he looked at him and his version then. "Well your paternal instinct finally took total control, stand by." he said and they both nodded as they watched it carefully at that remark.

"Someone starts something in here and we have to get security in here before said altercation turns into a bar brawl, or worse at this rate. But whoever causes it, influenced by whatever this is or no. And it's getting them a week on light duty under watch if they're beyond loaded. At the rate this is going and you already took the unspoken agreement to be my and Jake's coach, Dave."

"If the commander walks in the door just as the fight starts and we drag them before the captain, we're your players and with my date in here as well. I don't think you got a choice, but varsity captain going at the JV captain for one reason or another. And they're drunk, so everyone watching the conversation get ready for the fight here." Wesley said and the seven nodded in agreement.

As Geordi said it for all them as he answered him to that remark. "Alright again be on watch and ready for whatever's coming next at the moment though this keeps up we may have to arrest them and..." Geordi started to say as the O'Brien looked at the quintet. "Oh boy, how many did they have exactly, because they're looking like they're all drunk." Jenson asked sharply and the bartender answered that.

"With those kids, I was sticking it to the synthethol, though I think if they did replicate alcohol someone just crossed the line. And the regime strictly forbid drinking when on duty, especially when we have government officials on board at the moment right now. But the captain ordered that no one under the age of 26 was to be drinking when on duty and they're all 24 years old."

"If they were drinking it's getting it from the bartender just before me. Because Guinan's off duty right now at the moment and I need backup. With Lal now gone she was the only strong enough to break things up before someone got hurt if a fight broke out. If she was still alive, I don't doubt she'd take them apart if they attacked you out of jealousy, since you're like a brother to her."

"But if this is heading for a real fight every adult better keep and eye out for the time being. But this gets started and we better get Derek, Eric or Jack in here and fast." he said and they all nodded. "Son if whatever this is causes them to flip out be ready, because we're coming to you. Though this turns into a fight, we may have to arrest these kids, because you're my student and I'm your tutor."

"And we're on watch in case of trouble, because they start going at you, I think it's safe to that whatever this is, it's causing us to speak whatever we wouldn't normally say in front of the captain or the commander. Though if this is what I think, I think it just shifted back to what you told us." O'Brien said for all of them and Wesley nodded as they shifted position to the table directly across from the counter.

"Fieldman, Janson, get ready, we could have trouble in a second." he added and the duo both nodded. "Yeesh, what the heck is going on here?" Peter Janson asked and he shrugged. "I wish I knew right now, but what I do know, is that we could have a case of speed-balling in the college age athletic department and my players are the target, so stand by." Jenson said in answer to that and he nodded.

"College age?" he repeated and Jenson nodded to him."Yeah the quintet are just short of graduate school age, my boys are just under 18. And they've been here longer, but after the knack, I think it shifted from insults and jibes. And is about to shift into violence with them possibly drunk and speed-balling right now. And to answer the unasked question at the moment, Wes and Jake, but the kids."

"I've been their unspoken coach since Beverly left the ship and with that, in mind." he said and the duo nodded."Yeah I get the point and we'll keep an eye out." Fieldman said as Wesley sat there talking to Shayla then. "Yeah and I can't say I blame you for that remark right now David, and as to why right now. It's because I did order that no one was supposed to be drinking when on duty anyway at the time."

"I take it this was ten minutes before the fight broke out honey?"Beverly asked and he nodded to her softly. "Yeah but get ready for this, because I knew you weren't going to like the results. My thoughts and opinions were heading in the direction yours were after the fight, but I couldn't remember the name of that disease at the time. But I knew it was related to this at the moment, but ten fights in two days at the moment."

"And it started at virtually the same time as when Sarek and his party beamed into the ship at the time now here. But this was getting out of hand and this syndrome was connecting to substance abuse with it was that Deanna was feeling thirty different sets of emotions. And not being able to tell who the fight started with, though you got definite hit after my fight with Derek that night."

"After you called him into your office." he said and the quartet nodded. "Yeah no kidding trying to tell where it started from in my double's ability is next to impossible, till you actually shout it out to me mentally and quickly alert us you needed back up." Marina said to that and he nodded. "That's what happened next as I shouted it out to you, after I radioed mom to send the guys and security, now." he said and they both nodded to that news.

Watching they saw that things were quiet in the room for fifteen minutes, before they saw a red shove him in the back. And then saw his date as she steadied him and he said it sharply as he gripped her gently as he said it firmly."Hey what's your malfunction, pal, what was that for." he asked and turned around and saw Ensign David Marks standing there as he said it sharply then to him as he looked at him then at that.

"Marks what's your problem man, was that really necessary, I mean you could have asked me to move. Being polite works better then getting physical right now at the moment." he said to him as they saw a furious look on his face. "I really don't see why the duo even bother with listening to some little brat like you right now." he snapped and they watched as he stood up as he focused on him firmly at that remark.

"Well I can read that look on your face as 'Oh great, just as one ends, another starts this one gets started, he's drunk and possibly stoned. And more than likely on the effects of whatever caused that fight a bit ago. Alright I'm in total control, but if this doesn't work in calming him down he needs to be arrested, before he starts something.' Frakes said sternly and he nodded to confirm that thought gently and they nodded to that.

"That's what I'm worried about right now with you cub, you been getting some serious circumstances since you activated at the time, but this. You're not an adult but still just a child right now, and it's our job to take care of you." Frakes said to that with a sigh as he looked at him and his version then.

Alright I'm in total control, but if this doesn't work in calming him down he needs to be arrested, before he starts something.' Frakes said sternly and he nodded to confirm that thought gently and they nodded to that.

"Whatever this is about, wasn't my doing, so, if you don't want to get written up right now and since we're not the only people under 25. At the moment in here, did you forget we have a regime to follow at the current moment. And this breaks that regime, Ensign, you're drunk, calm down now here, Colin." he said to him sternly as they got a better look they saw he was beyond loaded.

"Aw god, I've seen that look on one too many patients since before you were born at the time. But this was out of jealousy and they want the attention, of Jean Luc and Will, but this is crossing the line in health and wellness." Carson said as Pulaski crossed her arms as they watched, and they knew he had more than just the synthethol. "Followed by 'Oh boy how many did he have exactly, he's looking like he's ready to collapse here?'

'Damn it, alright act like the JV captain I am, this varsity player has had one too many and is possibly speedballing right now.'." Shepard said to that as he locked gazes with the sextet and Geordi. "Well that look on my face is 'Wes see if you can get him to calm down, but if he keeps this up we're arresting him, because we don't need another fist fight this soon. You're my team captain, so just try, if not we're coming to you, son.'

'But just be ready in case this latest one causes a free for all right now.' Jenson's double said to that and he quickly answered him. "And mine 'Dave, I'd say he's had more than the maximum safest dose in ethanol and possibly he's on drugs with it. So be ready in case this does get physical.' Wheaton said in response as they saw, through his eyes, his skin looking reddish pale and he was drenched in sweat.

"Lal add the inner commentary so she knows what I was thinking and with it the silent conversation between me and Commander Jenson." he said and knew she got the message. "I take it this was your thoughts regarding how I was going to take it when I heard that they were not only drunk, but speedballing?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah being a doctor, I knew you weren't going to like this." he said and she nodded to him.

"Ente, add the inner commentary so she knows what I was thinking and with it the silent conversation between me and Commander Jenson." he said and knew she got the message. "I take it this was your thoughts regarding how I was going to take it when I heard that they were not only drunk, but speedballing?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah being a doctor, I knew you weren't going to like this." he said and she nodded to him.

Alright I'm in total control, but if this doesn't work in calming him down he needs to be arrested, before he starts something.' They heard as he answered him gently, but firmly then as he watched his video taped self then as he answered him.

"Whatever this is about, wasn't my doing, so, if you don't want to get written up right now and since we're not the only people under 25. At the moment in here, did you forget we have a regime to follow at the current moment. And this breaks that regime, Ensign, you're drunk, calm down now here Colin." he said to him sternly as they got a better look they saw he was beyond loaded.

'Damn it, alright act like the JV captain I am, this varsity player has had one too many and is possibly speedballing right now.' they heard as he locked gazes with the sextet and Geordi. 'Wes see if you can get him to calm down, but if he keeps this up we're arresting him, because we don't need another fist fight this soon. You're my team captain, so just try, if not we're coming to you, son.'

'But just be ready in case this latest one causes a free for all right now.' They heard from Jenson and he quickly answered him. 'Dave, I'd say he's had more than the maximum safest dose in ethanol and possibly he's on drugs with it. So be ready in case this does get physical.' They heard in answer to that thought as they saw, through his eyes, his skin looking reddish pale and he was drenched in sweat.

'Alright whatever's in his system is mixed with the alcohol and it's not synthethol, but the really good stuff. Aw crap, he's beyond drunk right now, oh boy mom's not going to take this well when she hears this. And neither will the duo, the commander was always stern about this thing. And with both me and Jake made it clear, but we'd never cross that line, dang it guys."

'Are you out of your damn minds, it's dangerous to be taking in that much and it's illegal, when on duty anyway. I'm the son of a medical doctor and Anenzi's not going to like it that they crossed the line in health.' they heard as Will answered him. "Yeah that's an understatement and especially when I forbid drinking on duty anyway and these kids are crossing physical limit lines not meant to be crossed."

"Right now and with it you guys read my mind, that if meant arresting these kids before they drove themselves right into the wall. You had it right that the limit we set it to was two and only that, but drinking, and doing this when you're under 25 years old. If we were back in the 20th century and us officers caught one of our subordinates drunk. That's enough to get the arrested, because this was a felony, either on earth or up here."

"But 80% of the ship was adults ranging from 25 to their mid 50' and early 60's and with that, these guys weren't even out of their young adult stage. At that age you're stuck between being a teenager and an adult, and they want the freedom. Now, of making their own decisions in this, but there were close to 150 teenagers on board and you guys were the model students we preffered, in giving a clear example to the teenagers now."

"And it's the act of being the team that role models for these kids, but you and Jake were the model teenage officers the kids should have been looking too at the time. And instead of a quintet of college hotshots at the time as well, you were my pride boys. Especially when it came to training, but you anticipated my every decision and did it at the time guys as it is right now, if I'd been in there, I'd have let him have it then."

"And you, without without needing to be told what to do now was attempting to prevent a fight here, as to that. But for us, it was that you and Jake, were, in my eyes you're the top students I had at the time. And this need to be in the lime light was going to be the self destruct switch." Will said firmly to that as Beverly finished that remark. "And we had to get them off active duty and before they crashed and burned."

"But this was going too far because they're jealous that Jean Luc and Will pay more attention to you guys then they do to the college age students." she said and he nodded as Jenson answered her as he sighed then. "Don't tell me what to do you little smart Alec." Marks said and Wesley crossed his arms at that remark then. "Yeah I wasn't bothering with sinking to his level by that point." he said and she nodded to him firmly.

"Not that I blame you but when it comes to dealing with this type of thing it's turning on the stern parent mode when your superiors are 12 to 20 years older then you are which was why we have the security teams on high alert regarding this." she said and he nodded as he heard his remark. "Hey I didn't ask for that position at the time, he decided to give me a shot that year. But I'm a training ensign, Marks, I'm his apprentice, his student, he's my father's best friend and that's it."

"He decided to give me a shot and mom decided to let me stay after he offered to look after me. But I'm seventeen, or did you forget this with you this loaded right now. But it's no damn business what bond and friendship I have with the senior staff right now here. And again, you're drunk so take it down several notches or you're getting arrested here Marks, and I mean it right now."

"Or did you forget that we're not alone in this room and those officers surrounding us are 13 to 25 years older then you are. And my coach is in the room with us at the moment as well. If you really want to get yourself arrested just keep it up at the moment. Because they're all getting sick of this right now Colin." he said to him and he shoved him against the desk and the guys stood up.

"Whatever's causing you to act like right now, you better dial it down Marks, you're drunk. You know the rules the captain gave you: no drinking when on duty if you don't calm down right now. And it's not just you're ending up in the tank, you're also getting written up, so calm down right down."he added to him as he said it then sternly and he sighed as he said it to her then at that remark.

"At the moment he was too drunk to realize that we had 50 officers and 20 civilians in the room with us and with it those officers. Aside from himself, me, Shayla and his clique were all twice his age at the time. And with it I was trying to tone it down as I gave him a warning, but that's where it started getting worse." he said and she nodded as she saw the sextet watching as she heard the warning tone in Jenson's voice at that remark.

"Marks I swear you touch him at all like that you're getting thrown through that door right now. Calm down right now, or you're ending up in the tank here, now settle down now young man, cool down." they heard in answer to his remark from Jenson and the quartet hid a nod of agreement as Wesley finished that. "Look whatever this is about can be touched on when you're completely sober Colin, but at the moment this is neither the time nor place for this conversation."

"As we're not alone in here right now and you're not thinking straight either at the moment and with that in mind. Now get it together and calm down or you're getting arrested and put in the tank." he said to him with a stern tone and the ensign snapped at him. "Sure you're some kind of captain's pet, but you're just some stupid little brat, I don't get why they're even wasting their time on you." Marks said with a growl and Wesley said it firmly then to him at that remark.

"I'm not defending my reasons, but the short version is my parents are his best friends and in case you haven't noticed right now. We're surrounded by officers that are ten to twenty years older than you are, along with the bartender. And along with that at the moment its that I'm just a teenager, I'm 17, you're picking a fight with a 17 year old and you're a college kid and you're an adult."

"And did you forget basic protocols as well right now, it's against regulations to be drinking when on duty right now anyway. Captain's orders: no one is allowed to be drinking if they're younger than 25 years old. And not when they're on duty either, but you want to get arrested now, because I got a line to one of the teams that will do that." Wesley said in answer to that and Shayla backed up at that.

"Commander, he's drunk, I think he had more than the synthethol here, but possibly the really good stuff." They heard Shayla say as they heard the answering response. "I think he's more than drunk, he's definitely speedballing right now. God, where is Data or Lal when you need them right now, she would be able to subdue this kid pretty fast." Golderg said as he repeated his remark of his taped self.

As they heard O'Brien answer his remark as his tone went stern. "He touches him at all after what he told us and he's getting thrown through that door right now. He's drunk and possibly on the edge of ending up in the tank." he said as they heard Wesley's next remark. "Marks you're walking a fine line in getting arrested, because those guys in the engineering crew get overly protective of me."

"You really want to start this with half of the crew that can take you apart in here right now, get it together and take it down several notches now. We got two groups in here ready to arrest you if this turns physical, one being the medical team. And the other a group as skilled as the security teams here, and I don't care if they are engineers or not at the moment, but don't try it Colin."

"And with those words in mind right now at the moment here, the medical department specifically prohibited taking in more than two when on duty. Let alone bringing any type of drug on board this ship, medical orders. And did you forget something else here, my mother is the CMO on board this ship. So you even touch me and she's hauling you up on charges, I'm 17 years old you fool."

"You're an adult, I'm a teenager, and my coach is in the room with us, just try it and he and the rest of the crew over 25 are taking you down right now. So try it and they're going to break your neck for putting me in sick bay here, so stand down right now. I'm saying for them, for the last and final time, calm down and stand down right now." he said sternly as, at that, Geordi walked up behind him.

As they watched the five members of the engineering crew walk up. "Wes what may I ask is going on here?" Jenson asked and Marks said it sharply. "But out Jenson, this is none of your business." he said and he crossed his arms at that. "Rule 1) when it comes to Dave, if you're a junior officer, and a teenage young adult one. Then you better not get rude or start talking back to him, or you're in big trouble here and with that."

"Regarding the fact he's the reason I ended up in the emergency room to begin 18 months earlier. It's enough Colin just caused the stern part of my coach to activate at the moment. I've seen him like these maybe three times, the first being after Jake took the shuttle to the training station I was at and he was ticked at his trying that when he wasn't ready for it." Wesley said to them and they nodded as Jenson crossed his arms.

"I'm lucky we promoted you to L.C. boys otherwise this could have been a lot worse at the time and you're trying to control things before they get out of hand." Picard said as they watched. "Yes Sir and trust me at this stage, like he never kept anything from you or the commander, I was in that same confidence at the moment. But now with the fact that I knew the commander and Worf were on their way into the room here."

"I was trying to prevent an escalating fight that was ready to result in the spectacle that the duo walked into." Jenson said and Picard nodded as they watched as Jenson remembered this as he heard his taped voice say it then to the 24 year old at that remark. "When it pertains a member of my team, especially if they're younger then twenty and the child of a friend, you better believe it's my business."

"Young man he's one of my players and you're drunk so with that in mind you better calm down now. As for that attitude problem right now, I'm only giving you one chance. Or did you forget who you're talking to right now at the moment young man, as my rank is on my uniform. As I see this like any college or high school athlete who's ticked that he's being jumped by someone better."

"And you're too drunk to realize you're talking back to a superior officer and with those words in mind right now. Now you may not be part of my grouping, but that doesn't mean the rules are not the same for every portion on board. So when the captain and commander, or Commander Data, are not around. We of the next section over are in charge son, as to that the trio are not in the room."

"And I do believe we already had this conversation 5 times in the side of a year and 10 in 2 as everyone in here is either lieutenant to ensign. Commander La Forge and I are the highest rank in the room, and with those words in mind right now. If you don't want to end up in sickbay for getting arrested for DUI, since it's illegal, both on earth and up here to be be drinking, on drugs or both."

"And when either at the controls of the ship, on the holodeck or the car when inebriated, and especially when you're on duty and this could be considered that at the moment. But as you're still just a child in our eyes, still a kid no older than 25, I'd consider this a health violation right now. But the captain specifically forbid anyone to be drinking the real stuff when on duty."

"And as I catch you when you did, it's I'm giving you only one chance to calm down. So you better take it down a notch and cool down, young man, settle down right now Colin. Or you're getting arrested, now again cool down now young man. But it's either you cool down or you're going straight to sickbay here, calm down." he said to him sternly as Jennifer Barnfield added in to that remark.

As she wrapped her arm around Wesley. "Back off you geek." they heard in answer to that remark and they watched him swallow at the insult as they saw Jenson's eyes narrow in anger then. "Jeez, I know that when being hit by that syndrome you can't control what you're saying, but these guys are drunk, speedballing. And they're not going down without a fight here." they heard and Wesley turned to see Jake Kurland.

"Hey man, what's this exactly?" he asked and they sighed as Wesley explained that to him. "I'm showing them what caused the fight between us and the, metaphorical, varsity players, but then you and I had their attention ever since year one. And these guys are jealous they focus more on us as their star pilot and JCL leader. When we've been at it for over a year at the time." he said and Jake nodded as he sighed in annoyance.

"Whatever Wes told you, would have told you was true, it's kind of lonely without several more players on our team. I mean we've been in training ever since the traveler was here. One mistake in training and the results are we get two explosions in class followed by a case of teenage rebellion." he said and Wesley covered his eyes as he tried to hold it in. "Alright what caused it this time exactly, I said repeatedly to pay attention in class when in chemistry."

"So who was it who blew up the bunson beaker now?" Beverly asked and the other boy started laughing as he answered her. "Hanson's team mate, Joseph Wainscott wasn't paying attention and didn't hear Fieldman say that said three chemicals in the beaker. And the bunson burner on high were a dangerous mix, I looked up in time to see the flames beginning to come off the chemicals and tried to turn it off before it went then."

"But just as I switched off the burner, the beaker went and I had to hit the deck then to keep from getting hit. But trust me Fieldman was beyond annoyed that their idiocy, again nearly put one of his star pupils in the E.R.." he said and they nodded. "Well that explains the burst of fire that came down the ventilation shaft into engineering. Jenny, Rick and I were talking over engineering diagnostics when I heard the explosion."

"Looked up and saw the fire blast come down the tube that day kid, let me take a guess, Walters said if he didn't get his grades up he couldn't play in the next game, right?" Geordi asked as he crossed his arms and he nodded. "Yeah that's it exactly Commander, fortunately we know when not to break the rules, but though we play the occasional game of basketball, we're not crossing the line in health violations you being a doctor."

"And not when we've got other things to worry about, but what Wes told you regarding Derek was true here, I caught Derek with a bag of caffeine pills. And caffeine and ethanol don't mix, I mean uppers and downers you keep that up and the results are you're going to put yourself in the emergency room for screwing with your neurological functions." he said and she nodded as she crossed her arms at that remark as she answered him.

"You're right that is dangerous, but recreational drug use, just to get that scholarship, what's he trying to get noticed for exactly anyway honey?" she asked looking between them. "He wants to get into the piloting program at the academy, but we both told him it's not up to us, it's the attitude and the grades, not the talent to get into the academy." Wesley told her and she nodded as she exchanged looks with Picard and he nodded.

"If this really was a high school or college I'm running at the moment boys, you read the record right, I don't look at athletics or fast thinking. I look at your ability to follow the rules and regulations, good grades and staying out of trouble and you're both doing fine in that area right now. But he and his friends have one strike on the record, and it's a three strikes rule here, so he brings it up again tell him that, alright, Jacob."

"As for your being lonely at the moment here regarding being the only ones on your team, or squadron up here at the moment. Whoever Wesley meets at the academy, I don't doubt that Admiral Brand is choosing them if they're just like you two, Jacob. As it is, I prefer intellect over athletic and you both are doing admirably at the moment, with your graduation in just a few months as well, things are picking up right now."

"But I'm proud of both of you right now." he said and they both nodded as Wesley hid a smile at the remark. "Yes alright, let's see what happened next after you said that to him Commander, if Lieutenant Barnfield was trying to get this under control?" Will said and he nodded as Wesley reactivated as the teenage duo were watching this, they could tell the quintet were getting more volatile by the minute as she said it.

"Rule 2), whatever you do, never insult him or go for the insubordinate act or he's taking you down right then. With my coach, once you start acting like this, you're on the edge of ending up being suspended from duty for a week up to a month. If this was really a high school that you were running Sir. And he was getting ready to drag him to you and mom, right then for that remark, while getting ready to call out the added touch in this."

"As medical suspension until they were clean of the drugs or ethanol, whatever it was that combined with the syndrome. But he was digging himself into the hole with every remark that came out of his mouth here. And by that point Shayla and I had backed into Tom and Rick by that point." Wesley added and they both nodded to him firmly at that remark. "At least we're keeping you separated on opposites of the ship, to prevent these fights from breaking out."

"But trying to break into our side of the ship, just to start something is asking for an arrest, so don't press your luck right now. But we have 5 generals and an Admiral on board, you want to get arrested for starting something?" Geordi said and Wes nodded in agreement to that opinion. "Yeah and I don't blame you though son, really here, because technically we were the faculty and this was escalating from a case of a drunken outburst and intervention here."

"And into a possible fist fight and you were trying to give me room to deal with this, but this was slowly digging him into a medical suspension at the time." Jenson' said firmly to him. "Yes and I can't say I blame you you for that Dave." Beverly said to him gently at that. "Young man, did you forget just who the hell you're talking to right now, you're walking a fine line of ending up on report for insubordination right now."

"And DUI, and we're only giving you one chance right now to calm down and dial it down, or you're getting arrested." he said sternly and they watched as Wesley swallowed at that. "Dave, I think whatever is causing this just combined with the alcohol, that infliction that Sarek has, it's combined with the ethanol. And it's unleashing every act of jealousy these guys kept buried at the moment."

"And especially buried thoughts of resentment, he can't say what he's truly thinking to the captain. Let alone the commander, and Lieutenant Worf without getting reported for when we have no outside influences on the ship. But when those feelings break down the door and the victim starts lashing out. And when combined with alcohol or drugs, and here's the result at the moment."

"The effects of this syndrome has every suppressed emotion breaking down the front door, but when turned evil or brainwashed or even under the influence of this technology. Then you tell the truth no matter how much it hurts the victim you're bashing. But at the moment they're completely jealous here, and it's getting worse." he said to him as Barnfield said it for him as sternly as she could.

"Ensign, stand down right now and cool down." Jenny said to him sternly as the duo and Geordi looked at Wesley. "Whatever this is is part of the conversation we had a bit ago, and the effects of that syndrome have combined together. And it's combined with the drugs, or with the ethanol right now to cause this at the moment. But doing this fight in plain sight of every officer over the age of 25."

"What the heck is going on over here, son?" O'Brien added and he sighed. "It's regarding what I told you that year, and this time Dr. Pulaski's remark, regarding it is turning from insults and jibes. And just shifted to full violence, because he's beyond loaded at the moment along with that. And here's the serious part now, in regarding this, but I'd say the jealousy of being ignored

"And in favor for someone better just resulted in them crossing the line, whoever gave him the stimulates or drugs just caused an added safety issue. That this just crossed the line between the safety limit and going on a drinking binge tonight, because I got a really good look at his eyes. And they're dilated and he's drenched in sweat at the moment, it's a speedballing reaction."

"And he's smelling so heavily of ethanol and I'm looking at two things here. And you're not going to like either one of them, but one he's on stimulates, or two he's taken in one too many alcoholic drinks. Or the very real possibility of #3, and he's speedballing with the ethanol. And these combined together with whatever's causing everyone to lose it right now at the moment."

"And with it is the act of a full case of jealousy, but jealousy, whatever this is that causing our peers to lose it. The added act of a physical burnout at the moment they've been in their training phase for 18 months. And it's clear that the psychosis is no matter how hard they try, they can't get noticed by the duo and when they're always around me and that's the psychosis and burnout."

"It's just combined with the drugs, the ethanol or both and everything he's holding is breaking down the front door right now. And it's we got a guy who's acting like an athlete that's furious he got ratted out by the good players of the team for whatever they're on during a game. The clean players decide on an intervention and report it to the faculty and the said coach leading the team."

And when the coach told them if they got caught, they were suspended on medical suspension for being inebriated. And I think said something is causing our peers to start losing it, but our remarks on whatever is causing these repeated to combine with substance abuse. But either way Dr. Pulaski's remarks about it shifting from insults and jibes, and right into violence next."

"It's just landed itself on the table right now, because whatever this is, had just combined with it is alcohol and something else. The said something else possibly drugs or stimulates, he's showing every classic sign. Said signs being every case of the coach having to remove these guys from the court, because they pushed their bodies so hard these last 18 to 36 months now."

"And since they arrived, whatever Hanson is to Marks here in particular, I don't know, but they and the quintet, and Hanson's quartet. It's just been made clear right now, they want the best ship in the fleet, to be under the best captain said fleet. And instead of their hoping that the captain and commander will look to them for their fast thinking and sharp reflexes, they're not seeing this."

"Because they, and you, are too focused on your JV players one in training to get into the academy and the other. Is training to be a pilot at the moment, and you all take more pride in our grades and skills then you do in their fast thinking and reflexes. And the results are the jealousy is piling up so high right now, that they all crossed the line between healthy and a physical burnout."

"That they pushed themselves right into a sabbatical at the moment they need to relieved of duty and given time to recover until they're clean. But they pushed themselves so far just to get noticed by the captain and commander. That they pushed their bodies passed the breaking point they need a medical suspension from the team to recover, it's the health violations at athletics."

"And it's hit that now, these guys are pushing themselves passed the limit so they can get noticed by the commander and the captain. And they crossed the line between rational and getting reported by the good members of the team for substance now. I'm just saying this now, but now might be a good time to get them put on medical leave and recovery, though mom hears this news."

"And she's not going to take it well right now, you so are friends of our parents and with it. I've been here longer, and though they're officers, I'm the one with the experience, I'm acting like any good captain would be in trying to defuse this. And he's getting more volatile by the minute." he said as he looked at the quartet and saw the same enraged looks in their eyes and nodded firmly at.

"Your remark about over doing it just landed on the table, but, as the JCL on board, I'm just calling it right now Sir, and with that, it's medical suspension. As to why that it, it's because they're all showing the signs of substance abuse, whatever's in his system. It's that the stimulates, drugs or whatever, is reacting to the alcohol and whatever else is causing everyone to flip out here."

"I think this could be considered an act of speedballing with the alcohol and possibly more than one other drug in his system, likely all recreational, and ones from 300 years ago to." Wesley said and as they saw Marks eyes flare up at that and nodded. "It's mixed chemicals right now, Commander, medical suspension now." he said and Geordi looked at him carefully as he said it with a stern growl at that.

"How many did he have exactly, Tony?" he asked and the bartender looked at Marks as he said it and with a firm tone. "No more than two, I think someone ransacked the bar when I wasn't looking and drank themselves under the table." he said and Wesley nodded as he gently pushed Shayla behind him at that as he said it to them. "Guys, I think this would be considered a need to get Worf and the Commander.

"As well as a security team in here, he's beyond drunk and it's ready to switch to ending up in the tank, he needs to be put in a detention cell before he hurts himself or anyone else right now." Wesley said and they all nodded as Geordi said it for the five of them sternly. Before he could though, O'Brien removed his tricorder from his pocket holster and ran it over him as his tone went stern as he said it then.

"He's not kidding, his BAC is .45, however much he had a bit ago, is now way too much right now. Along with that is several vague indications of some sort of stimulate in his system and its not caffeine either. Young man calm down right now or you're ending up in the tank." he said to him as Jenson said it sharply at that. "Possible speedballing effect here?" Jenson said and Wesley nodded at that.

"You better do it now, I'm getting Greyson and Perkins in here, before this gets physical. Though mom is not going to like this at all right now." Wesley said and he nodded without taking his eyes off of him. "You better do it fast, son, and you better tell your mother that as well. Because she gave the rules after we activated the lounge and ten forward at the moment and it just got worse."

"Because if this turns into a fight, the captain is not going to take it well at the moment." the bartender said to him and he nodded as he quickly hit his communicator. "This is Ensign Crusher to Dr. Crusher." he said and they immediately heard Beverly's voice at that as she answered him. "Yes Wes, I read you, what's wrong?" she asked and he explained that to her without taking his eyes off the quintet then.

"Mom we have five, maybe six to seven cases of speedballing with the ethanol, I'm calling a medical suspension from active duty effective immediately." he told her and they heard a stern tone enter her voice at that."Miles, Geordi, how high is the level in the leader of the group, if it's not just them, but whoever's with them?" she asked and O'Brien explained that as he kept his eyes on Marks as he said it.

"His BAC levels are .45 and I'm getting the same readings off of the quartet as well. And I'm detecting aside from the ethanol clear indication of drugs or stimulates. Whatever this is, it's just combined with what's causing our crew to start losing their tempers this quickly. It's combined with the source of the repeated fights you and Counselor were were discussing this morning, Beverly."

"We had our own discussion on this, but this situation started at virtually the same time Sarek and his party beamed onto the ship. But the added add on is that with it, Kate Pulaski's remarks on the fact that Wes and Jake have our attention and the captain and Commander, more then these 5 do. It's just opened up the resentment at the moment and I'm just classifying this thing."

"Whatever it might be, to be the same as something we looked up when we did studies of every race in Starfleet. But Wes just dragged this up, but ten fight in two days and several resulting in random violence all over the ship. But this syndrome, whatever it might be has combined with substances abuse and it's a very clear health violation at the moment as well as a result here."

"But regarding the fact it's been 18 months since the quintet and the Hansons arrived they're the ones crossing lines not meant to be crossed. Though if we had these kids coach on board, and I'm quoting the remark the JV coach gave to the varsity team leader on the movie here at the moment. Regarding crossing the line and starting a fight in mind games with the JV captain of his team."

"Then it's a damn good thing we're not their coach or they'd be suspended from active duty for 3 months until they were clean. But Wes just read out the reason for why we had ten flip outs in the side of two days. And the source, it's localized to our guests arrival, but you're looking at a possible case. Of Bendii syndrome in Sarek's case and its interacting with the drugs and ethanol."

"And with that we caught them red handed and he's attempting to pick a fight with Wes here at the moment. But you and Counselor Troi get ready, because that makes twenty in the side of two days at the moment. And whatever this is started at the same time that Sarek and his party beamed on board the ship, Beverly." he said and they heard her answering response as she said it to him.

"Alright, if there's trouble I want to know about it, but get Derek or Jack and their teams in there, before this really gets physical, Miles. I'm sending Will and Worf to deal with whoever picked a fight with my son." she said and they nodded as they looked at the younger man as he said it. "Colin I'm sorry, but you're off active duty, effective immediately." Wesley said and they saw his hands tense.

"You can't do that Crusher, what just because you're the son of the CMO, you have the right to make decisions on us. You're not an adult, you little brat!" he said and the sextet crossed their arms at that. "Young man, either you cool down or you're getting arrested right now. Now calm down."Goldberg said to him with a stern warning tone as Wesley looked at the edginess in the quartet as they got ready.

"Lieutenant Greyson, you and Perkins better get in here quick, we got a drunken arrest that needs to be dealt with. But this situation is two remarks away from a bar brawl in here, and we need back up." Wesley said as they heard Perkins answer that sternly. "How serious is right now, Wes?" he asked and they watched him sigh as he answered him as he kept his eyes on Marks as he said it to him.

"You're looking at a mixed chemical binge and he's two remarks away from shifting from threats to full violence Tony, we need you up here, now. But Commander Riker and Lieutenant Worf are coming to join you, but we have a health violation that could be considered enough to get kicked off the sports team." he said and I heard Greyson with answer that with a firm tone then as he said it.

"We're on our way, Miles, Dave, you deal with them till we get there, and if it takes a full arrest, we're getting Jack and Eric as well." He said and they nodded as the O'Brien said it a second time. "Young man I'm giving you only one more warning, calm down or we're arresting you." he said with a beyond stern tone then as Wesley pushed Shayla further back and Marks snapped at him at that.

As they saw the drunken rage in him. "Colin I'm giving you a fair warning here right now, but you know the rules when you arrived on board the enterprise. Younger than 25 there were to be absolutely no drinking or drugs and as the leader of the JV team. I did the right thing so you could recover, at the moment, but this attitude is enough to put you in the tank and sedated here."

"But if you don't tone it down and you're getting arrested." Wesley said to him and he snarled at him at that. "No little brat tells what I can and can't do you little smart Alec!" he snapped and as the rest of our team moved to us."Yeah, he's needing to be in the tank for this, he sounds like the kids who got ticked for being reported by the students that never did anything at the moment here."

"And now he's furious he's getting reported directly to the coaches not connected to them, but he's a grad school student as well. And this is still enough to get him in trouble with the captain or just the medical department. Alright that's enough Colin, when the captain said you weren't supposed to be drinking when on duty, he meant it, with a bunch of government officials."

"On board then we all have to stay sober, and it's synthethol or non alcoholic only, and this is a clear health violation and enough. Now, to get you removed from active duty until you're clean again. Now again, I'm only giving you one more chance to calm down, otherwise you're ending up in the tank, now settle down right now." Jenson said to him sternly as he looked at him coldly then.

"Don't even think about it, try it and it's getting you written up, now calm down." Barnfield told him sternly then as he answered her coldly. "Nobody tells me what I can and can't do, especially not some brainiac kid." he said and that did it as as they heard an answering response to that remark. "That's enough, it's not his decision right now, it's ours now, so again, you better calm down.

"Because you're on the edge of ending up in restraints young man, so if you don't want to be put on report, dial it down, right now." they heard from Jim Shimoda as he said it firmly and that did it for Geordi. "Ensign, again, cool down or you're getting arrested now!" Geordi said, before they watched as someone grabbed Wesley and the blow hitting him in the side of the head as he got thrown into the table.
