= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1231, STARDATE 52308.07 = starfleet

= Manticore has been sent to Starbase 23 near the Romulan neutral zone to confirm a new weapon designed against the Changelings. Along the way, they received a distress call, the sender of which claims to be the son of Captain McFly and Commander Kenickie but DNA tests conclude that Erich is the real father. He does, however, bring warnings about the future that McFly must now decide how to act on. = starfleet

::Yawns and stretches in his seat::

::in the engineering lab, looking over data from the runabout::

::sitting in the RR trying not to have a panic attack::

::Fingers her knife::

Sir, are you going to be ok?

::in sickbay, by Nate's biobed, looking over scans about his Borg implants and contemplating what Nate told him about them::

:: Continues his work in the engineering lab ::

::sitting in the CC after having a conversation with Tyrel about the data::

::looks up at Faldek:: ...I must be doing bad if you're calling me "sir".

It's ok to freak out in front of me. However you need to pull yourself together for the crew and the call you're about to make...

Captain McFly

::looks up at Faldek:: ...I must be doing bad if you're calling me "sir".

((You do outrank him

))

::lying on the biobed letting Tevek do his thing; Feeling the heavy tension in the room; really not certain why the tension exists but it's palpable::

::looks up again at Faldek:: ...I'm aware.

:: Monitoring her patient with Violet at her side ::

So would you like me to be present for your conversation with Jaffee?

::takes a deep breath and orders another stiff drink from the replicator; he gulps it down with another wince, still not getting used to it; he recycles the glass and sits back down::

I will make any adjustments to the implants I can.

::watching the progress of her analysis::

::For once not sure what to do::

::to Nate:: Mr. McFly, has the painkiller hypospray that I administered been effective?

Stop calling him that!

:: Laughs :: Are you telepathic Nataniel?

That's up to you... I don't think I'm going to tell her about my-- ...Nathaniel. I feel like I know what she's going to say about it. I'd rather us be the ones to see this through and change things as best we can. I also don't want her to think I'm any more crazy.

::To Tevek:: Yes, that feels a lot better, thank you. The implants help with pain management by blocking nerve reception like... well like a borg. But it's not substitute for a good hypospray.

::confused, but resists the urge to raise his eyebrow for once; nods:: Yes, Commander.

::burps very lowly::

::is taken back by Kansas' outburst::

Well she could point out that you could be too emotionally compromised to lead this mission.

::looks up from the chair screens, he was tapping looking towards Sanchez then shaking his head::

::saunters to the bridge replicator, almost a little bounce in his step, as he is about to get himself a fizzy water and knows absolutely nothing about the rest of the goings on::

::sits up a little bit to answer Erich:: I'm not, really. I'm empathetic more than anything. I can feel others but not very well. I never learned how to hone those skills.

1

::to Nate, nods:: It is good to know that the hypospray is effective. Dr. Orrak and I will analyze how we may be able to adjust or modify the implants to improve your condition. Please let me know if I may be of further assistance, Mr....Nathaniel.

You did not have me... Hmm

We will try to log in to the implant network.

Erich.... In the office.

21:17

Now!

That she could... ::glares at Faldek wondering if he's calling his shot::

No.

YES

21:18

That is an order.. I still out rank you

::nods to Dr. Orrak:: A logical starting point in order to gather more data and see what adjustments we can make.

You are emotionally compromised and there is no way in the galaxy I will be alone with you in any office. (edited)

Coward

::looks at McFly:: I wouldn't relieve you unless I felt you would do something too rash. I think you will compose yourself and act appropriately.

:: Works on finishing up the partition ::

Well, Starfleet has a lot of experience with this, the Hansens espeically.

::nods:: ...good to know.

(Mm bop)

1

Dr. Gila Orrak

(Mm bop)

((I hate you))

1

I don't care about your insults Commander.

21:21

:: To Nate :: Life is complicated.

Yes. I will pull up the relevant data on their experiences from the Starfleet database. ::taps on PADD::

We just want to get in for diagnostic date.

::Dashes over and pulls Erich away from Nate:: Stay away from him

Matt we've known each other since we were both ensigns. I know you well enough to know when you've hit the edge.

Why would I do that Commander?

He is None of your Business

One more outburst like that Kansas and I will have everyone removed.\

::Is taken aback by Kansas behavior and watching her drag away Erich::

::hopes all is well down in the Sickbay::

Yeah, I suppose you're right. I can't believe we've been around each other that long.

::crosses his leg over the other and continues to review security things from the chair::

:::raises eyebrow at Kansas' behavior, watches the situation warily while still tapping on his PADD::

:: Is just about done with his work, remaining quiet as he concentrates ::

I believe Nathaniel is the one who can choose who can speak with him.

No, you should leave

Initial scans indicate this is not a normal set of implants.

::takes a deep breath and a minute to compose himself:: ...Alright. I think we should continue with the mission as is, at least right now. We know the Romulans are coming so we can head them off diplomatically first. I'll try to see if I can get them to calm down first and give us time to see why they're attacking... Of course assuming they're not just being jerks.

Why? You have never liked my and there have been many times I should have reported your behavior but after readings your thoughts and helping you through your memory recovery I decided you have been through enough.

:: glaces over ::

I'll have you lead the away mission and check out this weapon. I know Erich was set to look at it but I don't think I want him or Kansas anywhere near that station. Find someone to replace him.

Helping me... More like messing with my mind. you don't think I did the math and figured out how all of this could have happened

::to Dr. Orrak:: Indeed, based on Mr...the patient's...description of the medical purpose of the implants and the fact that he was never a part of the collective, I do wonder if previous experiences accessing Borg implants will be of limited usefulness here. But it is still the best information we have.

Aye.

:: Points out a waveform to Violet :: There's the carrier frequency.

The math is pretty simple and life is not.

::starts typing on the laptop; sets up an encrypted comm:: Yeah I don't think I'm going to tell Jaffee the situation but we'll need backup. ::thinks a couple of seconds:: I'm going to request fleet assistance. Maybe we can get some backup before the Romulans do any real damage.

(w) you don't think that mind bending is how that happened

Well, our scans seem to indicate they are unchanged in their function.

Sounds reasonable, I'll bet she's going to want to know why you think we need back-up.

So you are blaming me for this, for something I've not done yet? So what is your proof?

::thought to himself:: Thank goodness this is a comfy chair.

::Takes his regulated break at his console, sipping a fizzy water and eating a dark chocolate brownie, reading some new papers from major science academies. Hums contentedly to himself::

Yeah... ::says through a sigh:: Maybe she'll trust me? ::snickers::

(w) he is the proof... I would never step out on Matt

That is not proof.

never willfully

2

::nods, and continues reviewing scan data on the implants::

Well I was stationed on Romulus, they will try to take advantage of any situation, and they have had an increased presence since the Klingons have been fighting the Cardassians.

And you think I'd just ditch my feelings for Gila for you? You sure think highly of yourself.

Hopefully that means they're ranks are thin. And maybe this is just paranoia on their part. That station has been there for decades now.

:: Does not envy Erich's situation, an for her part she remained unsure of her feelings ::

Yes I do. your fling is what a minute long? Don't think I have forgotten your lingering looks

::can't quite hear the argument but can see them going at it; looks over at Gila:: I didn't mean to cause all this.

::opens a channel on the laptop and waits for Jaffee to show on screen:

::focuses intently on the data on his PADD, using his best concentration techniques to tune out the quite emotional conversation around him::

((Turns out due to the fighting Nathaniel 'caused' Manticore doesn't do anything to help, the starbase goes kersplewy anyway, and everyone lives happily ever after))

1

This is nothing I would have expected working with Central Command.

you have no right to be here... Go GoGoGOO

((Damnit Bren, spoiler alerts next time!))

::tappity on his console::

((One of these days I'm just going to make that damn simple and we'll be done in like two days))

:: Finishes his work, then double checks everything ::

(ha ha)

::stands by silently::

Actually, both of you get out.

21:41

I'll let both of you know of any changes.

No Doctor, this is a secuirty matter

2

::on screen:: Captain. What have you learned?

you will have to force me out of this room and I know you can't take me

((::off-screen, whispering to Annika:: I put 5 credits on the doctor winning this one))

I am going to confine you to quarters for medical reasons pending discharge.

::raises eyebrow about the "security matter"::

Kansas Kenickie

you will have to force me out of this room and I know you can't take me

((She's the one with all the chemicals tho imjs))

Ler-learned? ::looks at Faldek then back to the screen:: I-- Oh, OOH, the weapon, right. Nothing yet, we kind of ran into a bit of an issue.

I am not leaving

+McFly+ Captain, you need to get your Commander out of here now.

2

::stands up from the CC to stretch before his legs fall asleep::

21:44

((Sorry, your Comm was not received as Captain McFly is currently in DND

))

::looks up hearing the comm, mouths "You want me to take care of it?"::

Kansas, we need to leave and you need to stuff your poor attitude.

21:46

I have base schematics to pour over, seemingly.

I can't leave, you on the other hand... by all means LEAVE

::quickly tries to cover his com badge; nods vigorously to Faldek::

::leaves the RR, and heads to the TL:: Pilot, security in sickbay still?

You can leave Kansas and don't lie to any of us again. (edited)

::looks at Faldek:: No.

21:47

Is there something wrong?

::gets off the bed and hobbles over to Kansas and Erich:: Stop! Now!

Ok send a couple, I'm going to handle a situation.

21:48

::enters the TL:: Sickbay, no stops.

::nods, tapping on the chair:: +Security+ Security to Sickbay on the double.

::sees Nathaniel get off the biobed, and walks over towards him:: Mr....Nathaniel, it is not advisable for you to be off the biobed in your current state.

Look, I'm sorry I caused all this. I'm just trying to prevent the quadrant from imploding but, I guess I can't even prevent the ship from doing so.

:::Puts her arm under Nate's and holds him up.. touching him really for the first time:: It's OK

Is everything alright?

1

We will be back. Your mother is a handful and then some.

+Bridge+ On the way!

::the TL zooms and the doors woosh open, exits and goes across the hallway entering sickbay::

Yeah, it's nothing to worry about, honest.

::enters Sickbay behind the commander::

Dr. Orrak.

:::Keeps hold of him::: I've got you... lets get you back into bed

::wonders who the guy was, and if he’s still alive in the sickbay::

::enters and stands there awaiting Faldek's Orders::

::notices security enter sickbay; stands by KK and Nate in case she needs assistance getting him back to biobed::

::going over her data:: I guess he’ll be ok. :

Our patient needs to rest and the Commander there needs to go.

I am fine

:: motions to Violet :: Come with me Violet.

Kansas, the Doctor has requested you leave sickbay.

::looks over to Kansas:: I'm sorry this was all sprung on you out of the blue. I never planned for this information to get out in the first place. But the little bit I do know, ::looks over at Erich:: He saved your life in the detention facility. I don't know how, according to dad, that's the only thing you said when he brought you home. Erich saved us.

::gives a small nod in agreement with Dr. Orrak's assessment of the situation::

I know this is a lot to take in but please, don't hate him... He is my father too.

Is the universal translator not working?

Look, we have some possible... intel, that Starbase 23 may be under threat of a Romulan attack. We don't know when exactly but soon.

That's a big accusation. What kind of intel is this?

(w) I can't help it

(( Sound echoes "He is my father too....father too.... too ))

21:54

:: Waves goodbye as he takes Violet to a quiet part of the ship ::

"Are you alright?"

::Help Nate back to his bed::

Uh, it's... it's... it's this refugee we picked up along the way. Someone with intimate knowledge and they're pretty adamant that an attack will happen.

I will send you to your quarters and lock you in there until this mission is over.

I see. You're certain you trust this source?

::is back on the biobed::

::to KK, after Nate is back on biobed:: Thank you, Commander. ::checks Nate's biobed readings::

It will be OK

21:56

::Looks back at Faldek:: Don't make me leave ::Tear in her eye:: please (edited)

(w to Tevek) I am tempted to get out Klingon opera.

::sighs:: I'm not entirely certain, but I trust it enough to be cautious. I'm requesting fleet back up as a precaution.

((Don't forget to invite me!

))

The Chief Medical Officer has requested it, this is her jurisdiction.

Captain, any ships are at least three days away from your position.

:: Goes to the replicator and creates a drink ::

Three days? We're really the only ones out here?

I can't leave

::raises eyebrow at the Klingon opera comment; says nothing and administers an additional painkiller to Nate due to the effects of his stress and exertion over the past few minutes::

Commander Faldek, let's see if she can calm herself down, but please remain.

:: Triple checks his work ::

We have a lot to deal with, with the Dominion threat and tightening Earth security.

::standing there listening to their Chief::

It's your sickbay.

::Begins reading a true crime anthology, each case involving some kind of mechanical sabotage. ((This is what a cinemaphile might call forshadowing))::

::thinks for a minute:: Alright, send what you can. If the Romulans do show up, we'll try to stall them for as long as possible.

::Looks at the security officers:: They aren't cleared for this

Hmm, I know that didn't sound like an order.

1

I may need a sample from Kansas anyhow as the mother.

They're staying.

Admiral Elaine Jaffee

Hmm, I know that didn't sound like an order.

((It was funny only because I thought it too))

::looks at KK:: We were here earlier. Lt Pilot had us stow your weapon..

Of course not. It's a strong...ly... worded request. ...Said politely.

:::Hates Faldek seeing her rattled::

Sure... Alright, Captain. I'll send out what I can. I expect a full report on the situation once this is finished.

Understood. I would just rather be safe than sorry.

Jaffee out.

::checks biobed readouts; satisfied that Nate's condition has returned to what it was prior to his walking, returns to his reserach re: accessing the Borg implants::

::wonders what is going on in the sickbay, tempted to call down there::

Electrolytes are low.

I guess I need to create a Borg Maturation Chamber soon huh?

TBS will be 5 hours. We'll be arriving at Starbase 23 at the beginning of sim.

22:04

I mean if we're having Borg babies yeah

A fight will break out before that.

Oh my

That's security's job. (edited)

Which one?

You know, you saw those chambers only once and it was never mentioned again.

Uh...

You, E.J.

Do borg dream of assimilated sheep...?

1

I've got it under control.

I ain't going down to that Sickbay with those two. I stayed my happy behind on the bridge.

2

No we saw them again in Voyager. Not as clearly as that first TNG borg episode but they were there.

Lol

Chambers so they can assimilate kids...? Or to update the stuff as they grow...?

I'm not certain how that works

Huh. Wouldn't that imply a breeding or eugenics program, all things considered?

io

I can't imagine individual borg walking around being like "Dat ass will be assimilated" and falling in love

3

No breeding, it's for when assimilating babies, infants, young children. They maturate them till they're like in early adulthood.

whoa

Bren Faliver

I can't imagine individual borg walking around being like "Dat ass will be assimilated" and falling in love

I mean there were plenty of us that said that in the 90's about Jeri Ryan.

1

22:07

Alright, anyway, questions or comments?

Thanks for the sim!! More next week

Captain McFly

I mean there were plenty of us that said that in the 90's about Jeri Ryan.

I can concur with this.

If nothing else then all bets on KK vs Erich are open until next sim... DISMISSED!!!

Goodnight!

later dudes

Goodnight and good week all yall

NIte peeps

Bye everybody!
