Torenna shook her head, after pacing around for a minute, she had Alexander night locked into the position of attention, while Torenna figured out what she was going to do to him. The idiot had managed to misplace several crypto devices, and she was mad. She then began to chew him out again, "You will be lucky if you don't get booted out of starfleet for this."

She then stopped, sighed in frustration, and added, while pulling his rank pips off, " Come with me."

A few minutes later, Torenna marched Night into the marine barracks, approaching Duval, Nightstar, and Chalan, and saying to Chalan, " Hey gunney, this guy here, has really screwed up, badly. So whatever bitchwork you guys can come up with, he is all yours until I say otherwise."

Chalan raised an eyebrow curiously," O.K."

Duval who was seated in his chair regarded the attractive woman. "What did he do.... if I might ask?" he was several times this small womans size but he did not underestimate her in any way whatsoever.

Torenna gave an annoyed look," The idiot lost cryptography equipment."

"Nice.." Duval responded as he turned to Chalan. "Is Beeb's still in the transporter room?" he inquired. "This idiot can serve with him... "

Chalan nodded," Yep, beeb's already has all the losers under him anyway. they have been tending to some farm since yeaterday, cleaning out shit from the cow pens, so that's a perfect job for him."

"Alright." Duval answered. "Lets take him down to the planet and get him assigned to his work detail."

"You can't do this to me!" Knight commented.

"Oh really." Duval rose to his feet. "See... I have to get up off my ass because you're a moron..." and with that he backhanded Knight across the face. "Now that... I can't do. but this I can." he paused. "Move!"

Night hesitated for only a second, when Chalan pulled out a bullwhip, which cause night to promptly start moving. Nightstar simply shook his head and followed the two marine sergeants as they got night moving.

Duval smiled. "I forgot about that... So El Tee... still think this outfit is right for you?"

Nightstar shrugged, "I'm not sure yet, this ship is definitely interesting though."

Meanwhile Chalan ensured that Night was motivated until they made it to the transporter room where the ground team was waiting.

Alistair Beeber regarded the Gunny. "Ahh... another member for my crew." he commented. "and who are you.?"

"I'm Alexander Knight and you should address officers with greater respect..."

"I'll address you're holiness how I damm well please.. Alright, all of you, get on the pad, we got shit to shovel and I wanna be home in time for dinner.." Duval growled in response.

Within minutes the whole party was on the ground, and the team started their work. Chalan looked straight at Beeber whom standing there not doing anything, while the others shoveled. " Hey staff sergeant, how about you stop standing there like a dumbass and start shoveling."

Beebs raised an eyebrow. "Someone has to supervise.." he responded.

Chalan puled out the bullwhip, " Yeah, I'm supervising, now get your fat ass to work."

"Woah... I'm going.." and with that he turned, to find himself face to face with a shovel load of shit, he let out a loud scream as he began wiping at his now thoroughly trashed uniform as if to clean it.

Knight added. "Serves you right."

Just like that, everyone began throwing fistfulls of shit at each other, suddenly their workload exploded in how much cleaning they had to do.

The old farmer seemed to appear from nowhere. "Say Gunny... you are gonna make them clean this... right?" he inquired, a smile playing at his lips. "I wish I had that energy to waste..."

Chalan nodded, " Oh yeah, don't you worry, this pen is going to sparkle."

The farmer smiled. "Sounds good to me Gunny." yet the old farmer did not move. "Its... entertaining though.."

Meanwhile beebs attempted to run at night but tripped and fell face-first int the foot thick cow dung. Night launched and pointed at him. on the other side of the pen, hurd, and dratt began to argue until jay snuck up behind dratt and dropped a handful of dung down the back of her shirt.

Chalan just shook his head," Yeah I just have to make sure these guys don't do something really stupid."

"You mean like that guy with the shovel in his hand..." the farmer pointed to Jay. "He's throwing rocks at my cows... I'm gonna hurt him for that..."

Chalan went to go retrieve a paintball gun while jay went to go and try to tip a cow. Unable to move the heavy animal, he then went and hit it with the shovel, prompting the cow to go nuts, moo extremely loudly and it ran straight into several other cows to lose their shit, and run in random directions. Within seconds the entire herd panicked and began to charge in the direction of the marines. Jay didn't have a chance as he promptly got knocked to the ground by a large bull, and the other cows proceeded to run right over jay. one hoof landed on his head, crushing his skull while multiple other hooves splattered his guts all over the place.

Kosjerky saw the stamped running in her direction. She panicked, threw the shovel in the air, and attempted to waddle away. However being knee deep in cow dung, caused her to trip, fall flat on her face, as the stampeded ran her over. crushing her into red paste

Hurd and Dratt where in the midst of a wrestling fight, when they noticed the noise. Looking in the direction of the stamped, they only had enough time to void their bowels as the stampede ran them over, one could hear the sounds of breaking bones and flesh being torn as multiple hooves landed, turning these two into red ruins.

Beebs turned to run but he got knocked flying when the wave of cows crashed into him, he ended up face down in muck as a cow's hoof landed on his leg, almost severing it as he screamed at the top of his lungs, a how hoof landed on his skull a moment later, silencing him forever as his head disintegrated before he likewise was reduced to mangled flesh, mixed with shit.

Alexander Night just froze like a deer in the headlights and the stampede ran him over, as a bull gored him with its horns.

Chalan wasted no time getting out of there. picking up the old man, he ran in a direction that the stampede wasn't going, while nightstar moved with incredible speed, and with great agility, he quickly climbed up a tree, dodging the stampede.

The farmer looked at Chulan and the Lieutenant. "I thank you gentlemen... for saving me." he paused. "they will take hours to round up..." he sighed. "I am sorry about the people you lost."

Kitty Weber, whom was wandering around taking pictures and trying to interview people, heard the noise behind her. Turning around she saw the stampede coming in her direction. Weber attempted to run in the other direction, but tripped on a rock, causing her to fall flat on her face. She was unable to get up in time as the stampede ran her over, breaking bones and goring her rather quickly.

Her screams of pain were silenced as a Bull's hooves landed on her skull, which smashed it flat into the muck.

Chalan waited for a few minutes for the cows to scatter sufficiently. Setting the old man down, he walked over to the tree where nightstar was up. With a grin on his face, he commented, "O.K kitty, you can get out of the tree now."

"Oh ha ha," Nightstar replied sarcastically.

Duval emerged from the farmhouse as he smiled. "Ahh... a wonderful day to be alive... eh guys?" he regarded Nightstar, Chulan and the old Farmer. "So... what went wrong?"

The farmers wife followed him out. "You know that Duval?... he's so useful around the house, one would think he was married."

"Heh... sounds like Chulan here, he saved my old ass when the cows stampeded." he sighed. "Its gonna take me hours to round them up."

Duval regarded Chulan. "So... lunch was good... what happened to you guys... and what was with the stampede.?"

Chalan shrugged while nightstar got out of the tree. " Yeah, Private Jay decided to hit one of the cows with a shovel."

"Jay.... again.." Duval shook his head. "Alright.. Lets go see what the wreckage looks like.."

Chalan followed Duval out onto poo flats. Nightstar stayed back, preferring not to get the poo stuck in his fur, and chalan didn't blame him. First they found alexander night, or what was left of him. the flies where already gathering around his mangled corpse.

Duval smiled. "Oh dearie me..." he regarded the mashed corpse. "Is this guy worth cleaning up?" he paused. "can we mark him as Missing in action... and no body can be recovered?" he inquired before they found Jay, facedown and squished flat.

Chalan sighed, and pulled out his tricorder. " I'll mark their locations so the transporter room can beam them to sickbay."

Within a minute he marked all the bodies and got the transporter room to beam them to sickbay. then after that task, he put his hands on his hips, saying, " I think I am forgetting something."

Duval regarded his friend. "You forgot to contact sickbay.... they have no heads up for the.... corpses.." he explained.

Meanwhile in Sickbay's Morgue, several bodies all appeared on slabs as Siaxx let out a loud scream. "I'm gonna fucking kill whoever did this!" she screeched at the top of her lungs.

Tienn winced as her eyes watered. "Oh dear... Prophets.." as she gasped. "Why..." she picked up a garbage can before she threw up.
"Thats....vile."

Siaxx turned to the orderly. "Who beamed these up?"

"I'll go look into it right away.."

"Good.." she turned her head. "Toshnarr... could you process these corpses... nobody else can stand them... I'll give you a week's leave if you do."

"Certainly sir... I will.. handle this... you ladies go on, I got this..." the massive Gorn rumbled as he plucked his medkit and went to work.

The orderly came back. "Gunnery Sergeant Chulan did sir.."

Siaxx tapped her combadge. "Dvald to Chulan, My love... when you get back to the ship... I am going to fucking KILL you!"

Chalan put his hands up," Hey Hey, Blame Private Jay, he is the one that provoked the stampede that killed them all."

"Private Jay..." Dvald's voice came back. "I should have known.... but.. I must have recompense... and you... will pay for this... Oh how I will make you pay.." there was something insane and sinister in her tone.

Chalan closed the comm channel, then turned to Duval, saying," So I would like to report that I have put in my retirement paperwork and I will be settling down on this planet, this afternoon."

Duval shook his head. "Nope.." he responded. "come on... lets get things finished and get back to the ship.."

Chalan sighed and then contacted the transporter officer, coordinating with him to use the transporter to clean the pen out, beaming all the cow poo out into an empty field no one was using. It took him all of five minutes. He then walked over to toe old man, saying," Well, your field is all cleaned out."

the old farmer smiled. "My thanks Gunny. a shame you're people died here.... but then your man did whack my cow with a shovel, only a nimrod does that... a pity everyone else got killed too... you sorted out my cows and the crap.. I'll be able to plant early this way."

Chalan shook his head," Well, they where all pretty moronic, so its not a huge loss."

At that point Corporal Yuri grissom and another marine walked up, saying, "hey gunney, we completed our current task."

Chalan nodded, then added, "Hey, can you help this man out by tagging all his rogue cows and getting them beamed back to their field."

Yuri looked a little puzzled by the request, but nodded," Sure, I can do it."

Duval nodded. "The fencing will need fixing though. you guys wanna get that too?" he inquired. "don't worry about the original crew who were here... they are... no longer available.."

Yuri noticed several bloodstains on the ground, and a few body parts, prompting him to comment," I take it they are no longer on the mortal plane either, who where they."

"Jay... and Munphuck... and Weber... " Duval paused. "and Alexander Night.... man that guy was twisted.." he growled. "I fucking hate that guy... Jay.."

Yuri just shook his head and moved on while Chalan looked at Nightstar, saying, "You got things down here LT."

Nightstar nodded," Yeah, I think I can handle it, provided there is a tree for me to climb up if there is another stampede."

Chalan just gave a light chuckle, then tapped his combadge, saying " Chalan to roanoke, two to beam up."

"Stand by gents... energizing."

The two men appeared on the ship as the com system beeped at them. "Duval... Chulan.... Get your asses down to sickbay... or I WILL HUNT YOU Down!" came the voice of the angry Bolian woman.

Chalan looked at Duval, saying," So why are you getting blamed for this as well."

"Probably because I've actually bedded that little Bolian, god she's abusive." he responded as he turned and off to sickbay he went.

he walked into sickbay to find Siaxx standing near the door. "ahh.. can we talk?" she inquired as she held up a hardened piece of cow dung.
"If you.... want to escape my wrath... explain this.."

Chalan made sure to stand well out of kicking distance as he answered," Well private jay labrosse, decided it was amusing to hit a cow with a shovel, which caused the whole herd to stampede and take out another six people."

Siaxx regarded Chalan as she held up the piece of dung. "but you felt the need to beam up large chunks of cow shit into my sickbay... writing this entire place off.." she explained. "I have to have this entire place sanitized from deck to ceiling again... that's gonna take hours... and god help; us if we have a problem in the mean time."

Chalan shrugged innocently," Well, blame the transporter guy whom wasn't able to properly sort out body parts from cow shit. Besides, technically, it was a medical emergency, and i do not have the legal right to declare them dead, you guys have to do that. and until a medical officer declares them dead, they have to be treated as though they are still alive and must be beamed up to sickbay as soon as possible."

Siaxx paused as she listened to him. "You.... you're unbelievable.." she sighed. "those corpses...I'm surprised there was anything of them that remained... and you considered them alive?" she inquired. "one of then is missing half his head.. and you thought he was alive.." Siaxx sighed as she went over to the replicator and tossed the piece of hardened dung into it which she then recycled. "Gunny, I recommend you avoid this place for.... the rest of time." she sighed softly.

"Done," Chalan quickly walked out of sickbay without saying anything further.

Duval regarded the smaller woman before him. "He's right you know.."
he commented "In any case...You wanted to see me."

"Yes... I'm going to see the Major... draft her and her people for this.."
