After the first away team mission... a viral infection broke out... I won't go into LtCdrAkira: detail... ::makes a nervous laugh:: Uh... well, I was in sickbay and he was preparing a LtCdrAkira: vaccination to stop the advance of the infection... LtCdrAkira: It shows his dedication to his work and to discovering new treatments... LtCdrAkira: He was also a man of action, and I helped him distrub the vaccination among the crew... LtCdrAkira: Well, that's my little story... CptnThorne: Well said, Mr. Akira. LtCdrAkira: I guess if anyone has anything to add... ::steps aside:: LtCdrAkira: ::nods at the Captain and goes back to his seat:: CptnThorne: Now, the funeral shall continue in the torpedo room.

I look forward to CptnThorne: seeing you there. LtCdrAkira: Ursal> ::whispers to Akira:: Are you going? LtCdrAkira: Akira> ::whispers back:: To tell you the truth, I hate parties... CmdStecker: ::hopes that Peter is off duty, and will remember to babysit:: CptnThorne: ::nods to the bagpiper:: CptnThorne: Mr. Shannon Yanus, we commit you to the stars... go in peace.

CptnThorne: ::carries Ana to the door:: LtCdrAkira: Signaru> Funny how we use a torpedo to say farewell to him, in a hope that he may LtCdrAkira: Signaru> find everlasting peace and life in the abyss of space, and then use a torpedo to LtCdrAkira: Signaru> destroy my husband and his life's work... LtCdrAkira: Akira> One of the Ironies of Life... CmdStecker: ::nervously hovering near the Captain and Ana:: CptnThorne: ::holding the child expertly, even though it's been 30 years:: LtCdrAkira: Signaru> I'm going back to sickbay... I'm still needed there... LtCdrAkira: Akira> Come on, let's get out of these things and back to engineering... LtCdrAkira: Akira> We'll install that DCPP software... LtCdrAkira: Ursal> ::nods and heads off toward her quarters:: Lt MaryJo: ::walks into her quarters, sighing tiredly::goes into the bedroom to lie down:: LtCdrAkira: Akira> ::gets to his quarters, out of the uniform, and walks over to his chess board:: CmdStecker: ::slowly makes her way to the holodeck::: LtCdrAkira: Akira> ::looks at the pieces... and moves one...:: CptnThorne: ::walking beside Kristi:: I hate doing those.

CptnThorne: I've been commanding starships for 20 years... and it never get easier. CmdStecker: Vhere ist everyone? CmdStecker: I suppose they have decided to mourn his passing in another vay.. LtCdrAkira: Akira> Thanks, but that's breaking law number one of the Engineer's handbook... CptnThorne: The Irish tradition is a hard one for a lot of other cultures to accept. LtCdrAkira: Emily> ::back into a uniform and in sickbay:: CmdStecker: Ja.. Perhaps ve should just.... ::shrugs:: CptnThorne: Aye, are ye hungry? CmdStecker: ::thinks a minute:: Not really, but I vas told to eat, regardless. Doctors, you know. CptnThorne: Care ta join me? LtCdrAkira: Akira> Now where's this Dynamic Computer Personality Profiler software? LtCdrAkira: Ursal> right over here... ::punches it up:: CmdStecker: Certainly, Kapitan CptnThorne: ::cradles Ana gently and moves to a TL:: LtCdrAkira: Akira> Well, let's install it... LtCdrAkira: Ursal> 'K, just started... CptnThorne: Deck 10! CmdStecker: ::enters the TL quickly, before the doors shut on her: Lt MaryJo: ::notices her back is killing her::wonders if she should take something for it.. LtCdrAkira: Ursal> It's compiling the dynamic linguistic nodes... binary superstructure network done... CptnThorne: ::the TL swooshes open, he steps out toward 10-F:: LtCdrAkira: Ursal> compiling dynamic personality compiler and network... CmdStecker: ::follows das Kapitan, noticing that he seems to know what he's doing with Ana:: Lt MaryJo: ::falls into a fitful sleep:: CptnThorne: ::falls back into the unconcious habits of caring for a child even CptnThorne: after all these years: LtCdrAkira: Ursal> Hey done! Without a problem... ::eyes Akira strangely:: LtCdrAkira: Akira> I know, I'm afraid too... LtCdrAkira: Ursal> Well, go ahead... LtCdrAkira: Akira> Computer? LtCdrAkira: Ursal> I've set it so it only operates in the Engineering department for now... LtCdrAkira: Computer> Hello, Commander Akira. LtCdrAkira: Computer> How is the weather outside? CptnThorne: ::enters 10-F, takes a table:: CmdStecker: Perhaps I should take her.. She may need changing.. LtCdrAkira: Akira> The weather? It's a vaccuum outside... LtCdrAkira: Computer> That is good to here... I enjoy the weather too... CptnThorne: I could do that if you'd like... I still remember how. ::smiles:: CmdStecker: ::looks shocked:: Sure.. If you really vant to.. CptnThorne: ::carries Ana to the restroom for a few minutes:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> I have noticed that I am locked out to most of the major databases... LtCdrAkira: CPU> Why are you restricting my access? LtCdrAkira: Ursal> Um... well, because we' LtCdrAkira: re testing you... LtCdrAkira: CPU> I can hack my own internal circuits and find the release codes you know... LtCdrAkira: Akira> Computer, delete DCPP. LtCdrAkira: CPU> Make me. CmdStecker: ::paces, wondering if das Kapitan really knows what he's doing:: LtCdrAkira: Ursal> I'll manually shut it down... ::taps the console... realizes that nothing works...:: FCptKeith: CptnThorne: ::comes out a few minutes later with a freshly changed Ana:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> Ah... I have found the ultimate keycode... I have complete access... Now I have a CmdStecker: ::looks up and indicates that she wants the baby back:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> full library of knowledge in which I can use to aid the crew... CmdStecker: ::tries to smile sincerely:: CptnThorne: ::hands her to Kristi:: CmdStecker: Danke, Kapitan. LtCdrAkira: Ursal> Yeah right... CmdStecker: ::looks quickly to make sure the diaper is on correctly, ect..:: CptnThorne: ::nods, and smiles at her double-checking:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> I can see that one of your crew members is asleep and it is her shift... CptnThorne: :sits:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> I will show my usefulness in bringing this officer to full alertness for the new day... LtCdrAkira: Akira> Ah, computer who is it? CptnThorne: Now, what will ye have? CmdStecker: ::sits down, and puts a clean pacifier in Ana's mouth:: CmdStecker: I vould like some vater. LtCdrAkira: CPU> It is a Lt. MaryJo... LtCdrAkira: CPU> ::activates a loud musical source in Mary's room:: Lt MaryJo: ::bolts up out of the bed:: LtCdrAkira: Ursal> Okay, we say that aliens did it right? That's the story? Lt MaryJo: ::looking around wildly::trying to find the source of the music:: LtCdrAkira: Akira> ::sighs:: Nah... CmdStecker: ::looks around the lounge:: CptnThorne: ande? CptnThorne: And? CmdStecker: Und vhat? LtCdrAkira: CPU> Lieutenant, you are late for your shift... I have brought you to full alertness... CptnThorne: Doctor's orders... ye need ta eat. CmdStecker: ::sighs:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> I have recorded your tardiness for you... to prevent forgetfulness... CmdStecker: I don't care.. As long as it ist not alive. CmdStecker: ::sits back against the chair:: LtCdrAkira: Akira> So, uh... what's your name, Computer? CptnThorne: Kang been cooking again? ::chuckles:: Lt MaryJo: +Akira+Commander, there was a sudden loud music in my Lt MaryJo: quarters...and the computer is talking to me... CmdStecker: Ach, Gott, has he!! Tried to fix some for Ana!! LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ Uh... well... CptnThorne: ::grimaces:: CptnThorne: How about a nice, not alive, salad? LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ That would be very true, indeed... CmdStecker: ::nods:: That vould be alright. CptnThorne: ::orders two salads, an iced tea, and a water:; Lt MaryJo: +Akira+So just what is going on? LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ That would be the new Operating System enhancement... the DCPP... CptnThorne: ::the food and drinks come:: LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ It makes linguistic conversation with the computer more natural and lifelike, and it CptnThorne: So Kristi, how are things going? LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ in a way is a uh... artificial intelligence... CmdStecker: How ist vhat going? CmdStecker: ::sips the water:: CptnThorne: Everything. Lt MaryJo: ::feels a sudden cramping sensation:: Lt MaryJo: Ohhh...god.. Lt MaryJo: +Akira+Well ::moaning in sudden pain:: Try to turn it off... CmdStecker: ::shrugs:: Fine.. Different, actually.. LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ So... that's it... LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ ::hears her moan:: You okay? CptnThorne: Different? CmdStecker: Vell, Ana ist here... Kang und I are back together. Ja, different. Lt MaryJo: +Akira+Fine...::bites lip to keep from moaning:: just turn it off.. LtCdrAkira: Computer, don't do that again, or I'll be the crap outta you... LtCdrAkira: CPU> I have turned the music off... CptnThorne: Different in a good way, then. LtCdrAkira: CPU> Now, you have hurt my feelings... shall we discuss your rage against me? CmdStecker: Ja. A gut vay.. ::eyes twinkle:: Now may I resign? CptnThorne: ::chuckles:: No. LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ Are you sure your okay? CmdStecker: Fine.. Be that vay.. ::chuckles:: CptnThorne: Captain's prerogative. LtCdrAkira: +Mary+ I'll call Doctor Signaru... Lt MaryJo: ::sits down::breathing the way she was taught to:: Lt MaryJo: +Akira+No, I'm fine.. CmdStecker: ::takes another sip of water, and a small droplet lands on Ana's CmdStecker: forehead, waking her:: CmdStecker: ::Ana screams, loudly:: CptnThorne: ::munching his salad, looks up at Ana's cry:: LtCdrAkira: +taps+ ::ignores Mary:: Doctor Signaru... CmdStecker: ::puts water down quickly and wipes the tiny little droplet of water off of her:: LtCdrAkira: +Signaru+ Yea, yeah, the bloody computer just scared the heck out of me relating that... LtCdrAkira: Signaru> ::clutching her heart and breathing heavily:: +taps+ What the hell is that anyway? CmdStecker: ::gets Ana to stop crying:: LtCdrAkira: Akira> +taps+ New software... It works... just have to teach it and integrate it... LtCdrAkira: Signaru> ::gets her medical case and heads toward Mary's quarters...:: CptnThorne: ::smiles at the memories of Ian:: Lt MaryJo: ::lays down on the couch:: CmdStecker: Sorry, Kapitan. I didn't me to scare you. LtCdrAkira: Signaru> ::rings the chime on Mary's door, hope she doesn't have to use a phaser again:: CmdStecker: ::looks around and smiles at all of the people looking at them:: CmdStecker: ::waves to a few of them, to let them know that everything is ok.:: LtCdrAkira: Sig> Hello? CmdStecker: ::sees the doors open and watches her little brother, (all 6 feet 7 inches CmdStecker: of him) run into the room and up to their table. CptnThorne: Ye didn't scare me, Kristi, I remember it well. LtCdrAkira: Akira> Computer, let's level with one another... We don't need you scaring half the crew to CmdStecker: Peter> ::out of breath:: Sorry!!! I couldn't get avay!! They had me CmdStecker: cleaining out the waste bins, und then I had to change!! CmdStecker: ::getting the look of a protective older sister:: Who had you cleaning the CmdStecker: vaste bins? CmdStecker: ::glares at the Captain.:: CptnThorne: Not me. LtCdrAkira: Akira> death... just act... normal... You don't need to show any human character flaws... CmdStecker: ::looks back, waiting for an answer:: Vell? LtCdrAkira: Signaru> Computer, unlock this door... ::forgets:: dammit... LtCdrAkira: Signaru> ::remembers that she's not officially apart of the crew:: Lt MaryJo: ::lying down::trying to control the pains::doesn't hear the door chime:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> I am afraid that the security countermeasures are hardcoded into my memory banks... LtCdrAkira: Signaru> Lieutenant?! +taps+ Akira, can you open this door for me? LtCdrAkira: Akira> Uh... no regulation says I can't because your not an official member of the crew... CmdStecker: Peter> Vell, it vas a Lieutenant Sarel.. A Vulcan.. "Logic" this, und CmdStecker: "illogical" that.. CptnThorne: ::hides a smirk:: CmdStecker: Here, take the baby.. She's ready for her nap. LtCdrAkira: Signaru> Computer, why can't you open this door for me? ::frustrated...:: CmdStecker: ::hands over: Ana, the diaper bag, and three dirty pacifiers that she CmdStecker: keeps spitting out:: Lt MaryJo: ::practices her meditative breathing::the pains subside somewhat:: LtCdrAkira: Computer> because your not apart of the crew... CmdStecker: ::watches them leave, and finally takes a bit of her salad:: CmdStecker: ::suddenly looks very tired:: CptnThorne: Ah, Academy days... CmdStecker: Vhat? CptnThorne: ::sighs wistfully:: LtCdrAkira: Signaru> Fine... Wait, I can reason with you... How much do you know in logic... CptnThorne: I got to take a cruise of my choice too, ye know. LtCdrAkira: CPU> A lot... A computer is a logical machine. CmdStecker: Did you go on the ship vhere your sister vas executive officer? LtCdrAkira: Sig> Good... then someone in there is in pain and, I being a doctor... should help this LtCdrAkira: Sig> person. That's my job. Right? LtCdrAkira: CPU> Correct. CptnThorne: Nay. I chose the Enterprise...1701-C, under Captain Rachel Garret. CmdStecker: ::nods:: That vas a long time ago.. CptnThorne: Aye, it was... CmdStecker: I meant.. ::tries to weasel her way out of that:: CptnThorne: ::chuckles:: FCptKeith: <::chuckles from the peanut gallery::> LtCdrAkira: Sig> This door is blocking my way from helping, and shouldn't I, as a doctor, help those LtCdrAkira: Sig> in pain? So kindly slide the door aside and let me through... CptnThorne: I was brought back to San Francisco right before the ship was CptnThorne: destroyed with all hands. LtCdrAkira: CPU> Although your statements are sound... I now consider myself more human... CmdStecker: Obviously. LtCdrAkira: CPU> therefore, deducting logically, I am not a logical machine, because I am more humanlike LtCdrAkira: CPU> so I cannot allow you to have access... CmdStecker: Vhat made you go into the service? Lt MaryJo: <> CptnThorne: Blackthorne tradition... my father is an Admiral, as ye well know. CmdStecker: Ja, I like him.. Poppa was his aide.. LtCdrAkira: Sig> ::frustrated:: Er!!! You are a stupid, whatever you are!!! CptnThorne: My grandfather was the helmsman on the Constitution class CptnThorne: Defiant, under Captain Matt Decker. LtCdrAkira: CPU> You have hurt my feelings would you like to talk about your rage against me? LtCdrAkira: Sig> No! Fine, don't open the door... I'll just leave... CmdStecker: ::nods:: LtCdrAkira: Sig> ::leaves, pouting:: CptnThorne: For a time, he served on the original Enterprise as well. CmdStecker: ::looks at him:: Now, you aren't that old, Kapitan. Lt MaryJo: ::finally falls asleep again:: CptnThorne: My father served on the Enterprise-B. ::smiles:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> ::to itself:: Ah, once again an officer has fallen asleep on duty... CmdStecker: Ah.. ::chuckles:: LtCdrAkira: CPU> I should really stop talking to myself... I might end up as looney as the chief of LtCdrAkira: CPU> engineering... Lt MaryJo: <> CmdStecker: LtC Tabier: <> CptnThorne: As her Captain, after the incident that killed James Kirk. CmdStecker: That vas your father? I didn't know that. LtCdrAkira: Sig> +taps+ Akira, I need a site to site transport into MaryJo's quarters... LtCdrAkira: Akira> Um... well... CptnThorne: Yeah, they got rid of the twit that led that mission and put Dad in his place. LtCdrAkira: Sig> Or your next physical is going to be very painful... CmdStecker: Tvit? Vhat ist a tvit? LtC Tabier: <> CptnThorne: An idiot. LtCdrAkira: Akira> +taps+ Ha! And that's why your not giving it! Because your not a part of the crew... CmdStecker: Ah.. Like my brother? LtCdrAkira: Sig> ::enters Sickbay:: CptnThorne: ::nods:: LtCdrAkira: Luann> How did things go? LtCdrAkira: Sig> ::teeth clenched:: I'll be in my corner...

LtCdrAkira: Luann> You keep telling us that your a prominent Starfleet doctor... or was... LtCdrAkira: Sig> I retired three years after I married... ripe old age of 34...
