"Jam session"

[Ki'rok 0]

Ki'rok was not amused...

 

While the side-effects from the concoction Dr Maxwell had him taking were subsiding...he still felt the emotions...and walking through the corridors right now...boy..was he feeling them.

 

Where was a general quarters order when you needed one? The halls were teeming with various crewmen..each heading to some destination within the confines of the Republic. And, as each passed, the stares and occasional giggles were starting to wear on Rok. It was extremely difficult to act dignified with purple jam sliding down the side of your head...as Rok was finding out.

 

He entered the turbolift...with two Ensigns already inside. He allowed their stares to go unchecked for only so long..then turned abruptly...sending a small piece of jam flying off his pointed right ear.

 

"May I help you...Ensign?" dared Rok..with an almost menacing look.

 

The helpless crewman was caught...like someone watching an accident that was really horrible...yet unable to look away...and so..he continued to stare at the preserves currently residing in Roks ear and on his head and shoulders..."No sir....I was just noticing...you have jelly on you, you know?"

 

The turbolift stopped and the other Ensign quickly vanished. This may have been both of their destinations..however Roks demeanor let the poor soul know he would not be getting off just yet. He spoke in a rather creepy voice that even Rok didnt know he had... "No..Ensign...I had NO idea I was covered in Grape Jam...but thank you so much for pointing that out for me..." His eyes drilling into the underling...but he wasnt finished, yet. Just because he could control his emotions..didnt necessarily mean he would choose to. He continued..."and BECAUSE you are soooo observant...Im going to reward you with a very special assignment...I see you are an AENG..coming off shift I presume?

 

The crewman only nodded.

 

Rok continued "I want you to go to holodeck 1 and create a program called..."Hollys Trap....How to outsmart some dumb AI"...make sure it is that name precisely...the safety of the ship depends on you..can you handle that?"

 

The Ensign looks puzzled..." yes, sir.....but......what should the program consist of?"

 

Rok...without hesitation...replied " use your imagination..oh..and include a subprogram called..why biscuits are better than toast...Now....Dismissed"

 

The doors opened...and the clueless Ensign made off for Holodeck 1 and what Rok believed would be a fun session with Holly indeed. He thought he felt a moment of regret at setting up the poor guy...but as he thought about the look on the Ensigns face...a strange thing happened. When the TL doors slid shut...loud laughter could be heard coming from inside...though noone was there to hear it.

 

After completing a much needed sonic shower, Rok stared at himself in his looking glass. He was not sure why he had done that to the Ensign..he was not sure why it had struck him as funny...but the fact remained...it did...and even more surprising to the Vulcan was the undeniable fact...he liked it.
