Triumph in the MRF

LtJG Sendai Riko

 

K'Walus wasn't going to be happy; well, she already wasn't happy, but beaming out right under her nose, and batleth, was probably not the way to keep her satisfied. Riko had already angered her enough by not following orders, and then being a bit saucy during her "disciplinary" session in the training room. Of course, she was probably just as unhappy with TroNoQ; the key, whenever she tries to storm into the MRF, he thought, would be to make certain she saw the Qel first, giving the Bajoran an opportunity to scuttle away.

 

Assuming they did manage to survive K'Walus' wrath, he would then have to be sure that he received proper credit for his efforts in curing the virus using the Borg nanites from Thing. He knew, with absolute certainty, that the Qel would try to take all of the credit for it. Number 1, it had been Riko's idea; number 2, it had been his programming that solved the problem. Agreed, he couldn't have done anything without what TroNoQ had already discovered medically, and he'd be sure to let the Qel get the credit for that; but no more. Not to mention he'd been the one who had to wrestle the hand into submission, well, at least wrestle it enough for Bch to order it into submission.

 

He was happy, though, that it did work. He liked Dr. Xiou a great deal; she was a strong-willed, great-hearted person that felt the pain of her people. Now that the nanites had destroyed the virus within her, and begun repairing the damage it had caused, she'd be able to help distribute the cure. Assuming they could get the Borg hand to manufacture sufficient quantities of the virus. First thing he'd have to do, though, would be to modify the programming to take into account the on-the-fly changes that Thing had to do after setting it to control the nanites as they worked; also, he'd have to have them act like a virus on their own: become contagious. They couldn't afford to have to manually inject each individual down below with the nanites. Time was too short, as was the quantity of nanites that they could produce. He'd also have to set up a shut-down protocol for them as well; he couldn't have them, in two months, decide to start assimilating the populace. It certainly wouldn't do to start a Borg colony behind them.

 

All in all, he thought it quite humorous: the Chief Security Officer aboard the Qob helped cure the virus. He thanked the Prophets that he'd spent years in the scientific discipline before moving to security. Of course, he'd yet to truly use his full training; he was an expert in forensics, and felt that he could solve any crime given the opportunity. Of course, serving with a bunch of Klingons made that an unlikely occurance. Their motives, not to mention lack of guile, made mysterious crimes rare. Though he wouldn't put it past TroNoQ.
