U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1305 STARDATE 52501.20

The crew is taking a team building exercise disguised as a vacation at Disney World! A full planet theme park and resort. As the crew participates in their mandatory fun, they have noticed a number of oddities around the park. Assuming it's nothing they move on to a roller coaster ride. Later as everyone sat down for lunch, a disgruntled Bajoran took exception to Faldek's attendance and engaged in an altercation which resulted both to be taken in by security. Meanwhile, back at the resort, Bren and Lt Kelp try to find Lt Backpfeifengesicht who, after throwing a tantrum, swam off into unsupervised waters. They find a pipe deep underwater which appears to be sucking in everything around it. Bren is joined by Sierra Robinson and the two travel up shore following the pipe. They reach a factory far from the guest quarters and they sneak inside to find all matter of sea life chopped up and fed into the resort's replicator systems.

TBS was 10 mins? I think.

# FALDEK HAS BEEN SITTING IN A SMALL DETENTION ROOM FOR THE PAST 15 MINUTES AFTER BEING PROCESSED BY DISNEY SECURITY

9:10 PM

# BREN AND SIERRA SNEAK INTO THE FACTORY THAT SMELLS QUITE HEAVILY OF FISH

::Waiting outside the security office... having some ice cream::

::standing next to KK:: How's the ice cream?

::sitting in the room, quietly::

::Scurries around, examining these various processing lines, as Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse 2" plays::

::licking an ice cream cone::

((Oh, I forgot to mention. Not everyone needs to be at the security office with us. So you can be out in the park if you want to and I'll try and figure out something weird to happen to you. But feel free to sit in security with us if you really want to))

::smiles as thr waitress pours her a glass of bloodwine::

::whispering to Sierra:: Do you see anything noteworthy?

:::Leans head on McFly's shoulder::: We wait for him right? it's the right thing to do

::asks the person behind the counter how much longer; she assures him it'll just be a few more minutes::

:: Is with Tevek, wherever he is ::

I mean... I'm not always known for doing the right thing.

Lt. Thomas Harnett

:: Is with Tevek, wherever he is ::

(D'oh! I was going to say I was wherever you were...)

(lol)

((Awww, all that you two care about is being together!))

1

(( HA! Well... dang! This planet is too crazy, I dunno where we are! ))

:: Is really out of touch with everything ::

:: whispers :: The Cast Members ..must of adapted to the Smell. ....Bren, this doesn't look good for your shipmate.

::walks into the small detention room with Faldek waiting:: Mister Beran Faldek. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Not a problem.

::takes a sip, hopes Faldek gets out okay::

::Sees a machine with a "stuck" mechanism a stone's throw away, none of the NPCs seem to have noticed it yet, sneaks under and over things to get toward the machine::

:: hurries behind Bren looking around hopefully not being ::

::at the restaurant, eating his plomeek soup since he did not see the need to go to the Disney Police office::

::holding a padd like device, not starfleet issue:: We've reviewed the surveillance footage and and have determined you were not the instigator in this incident.

this place wasn't on the panflite

:: Is sitting next to Tevek, eating some sort of salad ::

Of course not. I am a Starfleet officer, we conduct ourselves accordingly.

9:18 PM

Well most of us, anyways.

:: looks around making certain Bren Faliver has not been discovered yet ::

::to Harnett:: How is your stomach handling the salad?

Bloodwine goes well with salad.

And we appreciate that. However, you were seen striking the other party. And at this resort we have very strict policies regarding conduct by everyone who attends. By stepping foot onto our property you are essentially signing a contract that binds you to our code of conduct with repercussions if failing to adhere to our guidelines.

:: Looks down at the salad, shuts his eyes at the tought of bloodwine and salad :: I was doing ok... until the mention of bloodwine...

I was defending myself. Had your police been closer by, I wouldn't have had to do so. However I have a stellar record, I am sure you have checked with Starfleet. What is the repercussion you speak of?

::nods:: I would recommend you stick to water for the time being.

:: Nods :: I will, doctor.

::pops up from behind a machine, wrestles out a black cord of some kind::

:: Is a bit confused :::

:: observes Bren while keeping low ::

Sierra.... eeegads.

:: looks at what Bren has :: What is that?

I understand Mister Faldek and yes, your records do come up clean. As a first time offender you'll be required to watch a video emphasizing the importance of clean conduct and encouraging an upbeat attitude while visiting our parks and resorts. Don't worry, they make it fun and entertaining. You'll probably be singing the songs for the rest of the day. ::Smiles as if he's excited about the prospect::

::tearing up, he unwraps the flat cord that's been knotted up, showing a half-mangled Starfleet combadge that was jamming the mechanism:: This is the Cet-ops issue combadge/translator...

Doubtful, but I will comply with your policies and procedures. (edited)

::eats her alfredo with the bloodwine::

:: realizes the obvious and covers her mouth briefly :: Omg.....Bren...I am so sorry.

That's what I like to hear. ::hands Faldek the padd:: If you would, sign here for me.

::continues eating his soup::

::signs::

::Takes a drink of water and continues eating his salad ::

( I bet there was fine print....)

:::Finishes her Ice Cream::

Appreciate that. The wall behind you will be the video screen. I appreciate your cooperation, some people choose to make things needlessly hard. ::stetched out his hand to shake:: Alright Mister Faldek, it was a pleasure. Keep out of trouble and enjoy the rest of your stay at the park. ::smiles::

I guess we should leave and get back to Kelp...

::shakes the hand and turns to watch the video::

:: with a grim look she nods in agreement and follows Bren ::

::Walks up to the desk:: Hey ::Knocks on the desk::

9:35 PM

# THE DOOR CLOSES BEHIND THE SECURITY OFFICER; A CLICK CAN BE HEARD AS HE EXISTS; THE WALL BEHIND FALDEK THEN TURNS INTO A LARGE HOLOSCREEN; A VIDEO BEGINS TO PLAY WITH MICKEY AND FRIENDS DISCUSSING THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD CONDUCT IN THEIR PARKS SURROUNDED BY FAMILIES AND CHILDREN; IT'S ALL PLAYED IN TYPICAL DISNEY FASHION WITH EVERY GUIDLINE EXPLAINED IN AN AWARD WINNING SONG

::looks at her chrono as she people watches while she eats:: I hope things can be resolved soon.

( I was expecting a Ren and Stimpy " Happy Happy Joy Joy" scene )

((Sorry, I have a natural inclination for filking songs))

oh buggers! :: mutters:: we are tourists! :: moves right beside Bren as if they were a couple , Sierra still having her " Disney World " provided Wetsuit on::

::whispers profanities::

::see's Annika sitting with Tevek and Harnett and his jaw drops; he points at them and yells out:: Mommy! It's Elsa with two fairies!!!!

:: Looks over at Annika :: I too am hoping for an expedient resolution...

I do too... ::that'd be some weird looking fairies, hears the kid::

:: thinks of something but decides Bren is the senior officer....right? ::

::overhears the little kid, raises eyebrow and looks at Annika::

:: Raises an eyebrow, looking to the kid, then back to Annika, then to Tevek :: We are not fairies... (edited)

::watching Kansas be Kansas:: As long as she doesn't get arrested too.

::yells at two of his collogues to detain Bren and Sierra::

Fairies are small, have magic, and fly around.. sadly you both lack those qualities ::chuckles::

You know, Sierra, I can't decide if I want a peaceful resolution to this... or if I'd like to crack their skulls.

Like Tinkerbell...

::runs from his mom before she can restrain him; runs up to Annika and the two vulcans::

:: Looks to Annika, then back to Tevek, raising an eyebrow ::

Hello.

Indeed. We are unable to fly around without a starship.

:: looks around and mutters :: There are A LOT of people in here Bren.....

::a small smile appears on his face::

9:43 PM

# THE VIDEO ENDS AND THE SAME CLICK AS BEFORE CAN BE HEARD AT THE DOOR; SOMEONE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE DETENTION ROOM INFORMING FALDEK HE CAN LEAVE

They're a bit too big to be fairies, sweetie.

9:43 PM

and they can't fly.

:: Nods ::

Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

They have pointed ears so they must be fairies!

Good point, thanks, lets make a run for the beach ::Gently? Shoves Sierra toward the door::

(vq) kid never seen a vulcan before?

:: Looks to the kid :: We have no wings...

::runs over:: I'm so sorry. He gets away from me so easily sometimes.

And we are not magical. We are logical.

That's ok. Don't worry about it!

Sureee......I got to go to the Restroom guys!!!!! CYA!!!! ::: pushed by Bren away from the Grunt ::

::smiles at Faldek::

:: Nods in agreement with Tevek :: Indeed.

Don't just stand there, go after them!

::running:: You know, I was thinking ::Huff:: that it would've been ::huff:: appropriate to shove them in ::huff:: a hopper and get ground ::huff::

::comes out, smiling at McFly, KK and Pilot:: Let's go have some fun and enjoy this wonderful place.

::runs around some machinery to try and catch up with bren and Sierra::

::looks at Faldek, and raises his eyebrow in a vulcan way::

That Fence!!!!

::Follows Sierra's lead to That Fence::

What the f**k did they do to him? ::noip::

1

::still sitting; looks up at Faldek; raises an eyebrow:: You alright, Commander? What happened back there?

::finishes her bloodwine and pasta::

I am glorious. We had a chat, explained the rules and I watched a video on the policies and procedures here. It was very good. Catchy song too.

:: with a running jump Sierra lands on the Fence and is able to climb it and vault over it....landing on the other side::

::pulls her son aside and talks about how rude that was and that just because they have pointed ears doesn't mean they're faries::

::finishes his plomeek soup::

((Yeah they ccould be demons too))

:: Looks to Tevek :: If anything, we resemble Elves to a degree...

I doubt that kid has seen either a fairy or a Vulcan before.

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

((Yeah they ccould be demons too))

(( I mean, yeah... shhhh don't tell anyone! ))

::heads out of the office with a pep in his step::

::stands up:: That's ALL that happened?

:: awaits Bren to get over the fence ::

::looks at the pep in his step::

1

::looks at KK and Pilot:: Does that seem weird to you?

::McFly:: Are you kidding?

::to Harnett:: Indeed? I must admit, I do not have much familiarity on the subject of magical creatures from human folklore.

extremly

::jumps over the fence handily::

::follows Faldek out::

:: to Tevek :: I have a bit of familiarity on the subject, being half human and growing up on Earth... it is hard not to learn about such things. (edited)

Is there someone who can tell us how long this will last?

::Swimming in circles anxiously waiting for Bren and Sierra to arrive::

:: recovers her surfboard and runs for the beach ::

::hurries back to the restaurant and finds Tevek, Harnett and Annika:: Keep up guys!

::to Harnett:: What are elves like? Just in case a human child mistakes me for one...

::Isn't in a wetsuit, but needs to wash the stink off anyway, Bren dives into the water after Sierra::

::follows Faldek hastly::

::tries to keep up::

::: starts paddling on her board and notes Kelp very very close to shore! ::

:: To Tevek :: Like Vulcans, but maybe four feet tall, and magical, they work for Santa.. making toys.

Tevek, Thomas and Annika, I am glad you all are still here!

Ahh Mr Faldek! Welcome back!

::sees the factory workers at the top of the hill:: Grab on! I'll get us out of here!

:: Raises an eyebrow at Faldek :: Where else would we be?

::Clings onto Kelp's side::

::nods:: Commander Faldek.

We could've come with them, but that would've been too many people. Are you ok, sir?

:: holds on to Kelp for an extra boost of speed ::

::quickly swims out into the open water and back towards the resort::

::is frustrated about losing them::

::: glad to see the Backstage Cast Members chose not to pursue them ::

::grabs Annika in a dance pose and starts singing, better than most would think:: I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?

1

::eyes widen:: What the actual f**k!

I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder, over sideways and under, on a magic carpet ride!

::catches up and is a little out of breath now; sees Faldek singing and dancing:: What the hell?

I reiterate that I should have been allowed to bring my medkit to the Park. There is clearly something wrong with Commander Faldek. Possibly a neural parasite of some sort...

:: Eyes widen, then eyebrow raises as he looks from Faldek and Annika to Tevek ::

::contemplates stunning him with his phaser, if he had one:: (edited)

1

:: to Tevek :: I agree, Doctor..

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

::contemplates stunning him with his phaser, if he had one:: (edited)

((You can't hide anything. The x-ray scans at the entrance would have seen it.))

9:58 PM

((Yes, even there))

A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view. No one to tell us no or where to go, or say that we're dreaming!

:: to Kelp and Bren :: I am so sorry . I am so sorry....

::Sniffs Fsldek::

I should have paid more attention when Eric taught us how to nerve pinch ::shakes his head::

::to Harnett:: Perhaps there is a Disney Medical Facility we can take him to? Let's inquire with the waitstaff.

Hmm..::swept off her feet::... the cold never bothered me anyway

3

Um, Commander, maybe you should sit a minute. Someone get him a drink.

Kelp, we found a mangled combadge in the machinery, in the style you were all issued

:: Nods and gets up from his seat, trying to flag down one of the waitstaff ::

::looks at McFly:: Sit? But there's so much to see and do here! (edited)

:: continues riding her board with the help of Kelp :: I am so sorry.......

( goodnight folks )

(( Night! )

::stops as they're now inside the approved beach waters::

::to McFly:: A drink? I was thinking a detailed neurological scan was in order, sir. (edited)

(night)

((G'night))

This place is scarier than Rura Penthe. (edited)

More rides?

What are you saying?

:: to McFLy :: I believe Tevek is right, sir.

I didn't find anything that obviously said they collected him, but... this has to be his combadge

Faldek, think, what did they do to you in there?

::looks at Annika:: No. Look what they did to Commander Faldek.

All the rides! Especially the boat tour again!

hoh??

No. Hellmuth, what have you done.

:: Looks to Faldek :: Beran, what did they do to you in there?

OOOOH they could make me a knight, then I would be worthy of Princess Annika!

::looks at Harnett:: Filled him up with joy, it would seem.

((This is a future Starfleet Human Resources case study))

1

::hears Pilot:: I wonder if this "joy" would show up on a toxicology scan...

:: Shakes his head :: If that is joy...

Bahahahaha!
