Location: Various Locations - USS Roanoke
Timeline: 0800Hrs - December 13th, 2390

Teval walked in to the briefing room, head hung in shame at what happened on the previous day. So far only Ra'Vak, whom called for the meeting was in the briefing room. Ra'Vak had the burned out crate of Klingon cigars on the table, and was looking rather ragged.

"So that's our culprit huh," Teval commented dryly.

Ra'Vak nodded without saying anything.

Teval sat down at one of the chairs, and upon seeing Zara walk into the meeting room, he immediately buried his head in his hands.

Zara did a similar walk-in, looking at her feet as she tried to avoid everyone's eyes. Once she pulled an iced glass of water, she sat down in her chair and held the glass to her right temple.

Torilla walked into the lounge. "Well heylooo people." she commented with a cheerful grin. "So... are we all feeling better now?"

Zara's reaction was a wince. And then she began to scratch at her crotch ever now and then.

Siaxx eye'd Torilla warily. "Why are you suddenly so cheerful?.... who did you sleep with?"

"Siaxx... you wound me.... all this time I thought you knew me and here you are raining on my parade.." Torilla sighed before she sat down in a huff..

Jacen came limping in, ignoring everyone else as he replicated an ice pack and had to gingerly take a seat at the table as he placed the pack on his extremely abused groin with a groan that was mixed pleasure and pain. He didn't even notice that Torilla's armed escort had been at the door.

He just cared about that blissfully wonderful cold and nu-.

~No, no, no, no, no. NO. Will not use THAT word right now.~ he thought to himself and groaned outwardly at the thought of it.

Teval looked around the room, and seeing that everyone whom was requested was present," Teval managed to say," O.K. Ra'Vak, what is it that you brought us in here for.

Ra'Vak pulled up his PADD," Yeah there is a laundry list of problems. First things first. As you all probably know by now, the cause of yesterday's afternoon insanity, was when we got one of the faulty ventilation systems running again, a vary large box of Klingon Cigar's was resting on one of the heaters, and as a result, it caught fire, circulating weed smoke throughout a good amount of the saucer section."

"Oh, on an up note from my people that weren't stoned off their asses I learned that our vole problem isn't as bad thanks to some furry and scaled assistance in that regard...but apparently it looked like someone had been murdering people with how bloody it got." Jacen said looking over at Teval with out mentioning his name.

Teval massaged his temples thinking, 'Dude if you only knew exactly what I was doing while stoned.'

Zara had very stealthily slid very low in her chair, and began to scratch more insistently at the rash on her lady parts. It made it some what hard to pay attention, but at least she could die of embarrassment without so many looking at her.

Ra'Vak decided to move on the the next Issue," So yeah, when the bridge crew was inebriated, someone decided to play racing games with the helm, and now we are way off course, the warp drive is burned out because someone pushed the engines way too hard, and our comm system is out. Oh and by the way, we are also in the middle of a nebula."

"Okay.... so we're more or less disabled." Yamaguchi commented. "Organize a search team with three shuttles. Two to tow us out and the last to find help"

Ra'Vak brought up the next issue, which was more serious than the last. "So while she was inebriated, Lieutenant Furban managed to contact Captain Lil'yanna Olmos of the USS Tranquility, and managed to not really say anything coherent. As a result I ended up having a chat with Captain Olmos, and needless to say, she is convinced that the crew was having a drug induced orgy. Also this has something to do as to why the comm system doesn't work."

Yamaguchi sighed as she facepalmed. "Oh fuck me.!"

Zara sank even lower in her chair as she was sure once Olmos arrived, she would be mind fucked in a major way. Though the scratching actually did begin to help with the itching.

"God damn it..." Jacen said as he moved to sit up straighter but immediately returned to his previous position and slumped a little lower in his chair. "We all know that she is on the road to become a Commodore right?"

"Uh... Yeah," Zara confirmed from a very muffled position of having half her face under the table. Sounds of scratching could be heard still.

Teval simply dropped his head on the desk in frustration, He hadn't heard about this one yet. "So, any suggestions as to what we are going to do about this."

Siaxx smiled. "Simply say that we had an outbreak of Poly-water intoxication aboard." she explained. "It'll explain what happened and we have seen this sort of thing before on various other Federation ships, the most famous of which was back in Sixty Four, on the USS Tsiolkovsky.

Yamaguchi nodded. "There is still the three shuttle idea for help and towing that I mentioned." she reminded everyone of her idea she had mentioned less then two minutes earlier.

Ra'Vak Shook his head," No the nebulae is almost 2 lightyears across, and the shuttles cant tow us at warp, we are better off simply repairing the drive, the overload isn't bad, I can have it fixed in two days."

"I volunteer for shuttle pilot," Zara spoke with a weird echo from under the table.

Teval looked at the now empty chair that Zara was sitting in, though he knew she was under the table.

Torilla sighed softly. "No... If I gotta deal with her,. so do you.." she paused. "on second thought. I will deal with her.. myself..." she shrugged. "I fear nobody..."

Meanwhile Ra'Vak stared at his PADD, staring at the next issue he knew was going ot be the worst of them all.

Torilla raised an eyebrow. "The damage is rather minor, mostly just the drive system along with a few other systems." she commented as she regarded Ra'Vak.

"That's not the issue," Ra'Vak replied solemnly," No this one is very serious."

Teval got a sinking feeling in his gut. He decided to retrieve a bottle of rum from his backpack that Anastasiya gave him.

Ra'Vak, with a great deal of hesitation, said," Ensign Kam Raaboba, broke the communications blackout due to Chymlers death. He contacted an Admiral Houge's and this was what was said." Ra'Vak hit a few commands on his padd and played a recording of the message on the briefing room viewscreen. After ending the recording Ra"Vak then continued," Ensign Raaboba broke the comm lockout using Jacen Saint's command codes."

"Excuse me?" Jacen said as he stood up, ignoring the discomfort that such a movement brought him as he looked straight at the Romulan and leaned over the table. "How in the name of the seven Hell's did he get my codes?"

Ra'Vak answered as best he could," I don't know, but he wanted the best chance at covering his tracks when he made that communication. My guess is that he got someone to steal the codes for him. Maybe he collaborated with one of your security guys. Either way I cannot be sure that he hasn't gotten a hold of other peoples command codes as well."

Jacen sighed as he had a short list for who he was sure had at least the technical proficiency to pull this off. Probably Jack Lashmore, while he was a fuck up, he had his moments of clarity that showed he wasn't a completely worthless waste of space. "As soon as we are finished here, we will have to reset the command codes for the Captain, XO, and myself before we can proceed with anything else..."

Teval clenched his fist in rage, claws digging into his own palm. He then added his two cents," I think that command code reset will need to be done with every senior officer on the ship, particularly any department heads."

Torilla's good mood evaporated as she went from confused to irritated to annoyed and lastly to enraged. "I'm gonna fucking kill you." as she heard someone scream, Siaxx's face showed her terror and fright before she burst into tears. She then got up and ran out the door before anyone could stop her.

Torilla had to fight to breathe as she felt inconsolable rage flow through her. "I will... fucking... crucify him... "

Ra'Vak put his hand on Torilla's shoulder, "Calm down, we need to keep a level head in this situation. The moment someone flips out and loses it, and ends up killing him, we will all pay for it."

Teval managed to calm himself and then added," Yeah, Ra'Vak's right, we have to avoid doing anything stupid in this situation. At the very least, the Captain's cigars may have bought us a few days to work this situation out."

Torilla suddenly turned her head. "Siaxx..." she whispered before tapping her Combadge. "Yamaguchi to Phoenix. I need you to track down Siaxx.... she ran away screaming... I have a bad feeling about her..."

"On it," Phoenix spoke hurriedly on the com, though she sounded a tad under the weather.

From the floor under the table, Zara added in a muffled echo, "I say we hard wipe the computer core and discredit Kam with shit on a separate private server."

Teval answered thoughtfully," Well if we do it right, discrediting him shouldn't be difficult. Kam made the mistake of stressing that all these allegations are rumors, so we can use that against them, but we need to keep a fucking tight lid on the situation, and we need to make sure no one else leaks anything damning, and lock down any and all external communications. That is to include the comm arrays on all the fighters and shuttles as well."

"We need..." Zara paused and lower her, for she knew this would go down badly. "We need to silence the Deltan."

Teval though about the matter for a minute, "What do you suggest, some kind of memory re sequencing."

Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow. "Its better then the alternative.." she commented. "Force wipe."

Zara rose, or tried to. It shook the table and cause her to groan out, "Owe...."

Then she crawled out of her chair, stood up, scratched her lady part several times and sat down in her chair properly.

"Well... We don't want to traumatize the kid, so I'll go with whatever option presents the least about of harm to her," Tane finally said, and scratched herself again.

Ra'Vak didn't like the situation either, but he decided to add," memory re sequencing will probably be safer. At least with the warp drive disabled and us stuck in a nebula that blocks comm's we have a few days to work with."

"Then we'll also need to replenish our deuterium since the head chef just informed me that people high on the ganja last night, ate all the fresh food," Zara spoke with a frown.

Ra'Vak looked around the room," There is plenty of deuterium in the nebula."

Jacen had eased himself back into his seat as he thought about what they were thinking about doing to the young doctor. He sighed and tapped his finger on the table top as he looked around the room. "Who will be performing the procedure?"

Teval looked at the door, saying," I don't think it will be Siaxx."

Torilla shook her head. "No... One of the senior medics can do it."

Ra'Vak shrugged," We can always alter the ethical programming of the EMH and have it do the job, then wipe its memory when we are done."

"Similar procedures have been carried out by SFI on HVTs and sensitive individuals." Jacen said as he listened to the Engineer."

Yamaguchi slowly nodded. "It can be done but we will need to be careful..."

"Right. So we wipe Nalla's brain. deal with her mom, and the rest as we go," Zara agreed, while scratching. "Any further matters then? Or are we ready to hide the loonies on this ship now?"

Teval took a swig of the rum," Yeah, we might a well get to it."

Ra'Vak shrugged," I'll get to work on the main computer." Ra'Vak then left the room to go start his tasks.

Torilla smiled. "Alright.. lets go to work folks.."
