Mission: Mission 8: Hope Found and then Lost
Location: Various Locations - USS Yorktown
Timeline: 1200Hrs - April 8th, 2389

Lt Commander Torilla Yamaguchi walked into the Messhall, PADD in hand as she was looking over Fives work from the explosion on deck two and he couldn't see anything wrong with what he had found during the incident and now his work detail was focusing on the turbolift which had locked the Captain while the explosion was taking place.

Why was this going on, it made no sense to her whatsoever as she went over to the replicator where her favorite dish was waiting for her.

She blinked as she distinctly did not recall ordering food yet. "Computer. how long has this food been sitting here?"

The response was direct. "Ten seconds and counting. Enjoy your lunch Commander."

Torilla raised an eyebrow as she realized she had left her tricorder in her quarters as she sighed softly, making a mental note to carry it everywhere she went until further notice because there was something funny happening aboard USS Yorktown but she wasn't laughing and neither was anyone else.

She shrugged as she picked up the tray of pasta linguini with her glass of orange punch and she went over to one of the half dozen tables scattered around the Messhall.

Just then the door opened and in came the Bolian beauty that was the ships senior medical officer. Lieutenant Siaxx Dvald looked happy and cheerful but this was how she looked on a normal daily routine.

Today could be anything but normal as a second plate of food appeared in the replicator as Torilla watched it in silence before Siaxx could order it, the Bolian looked down at the tray as she raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Torilla. did you order this hon?.

"Nope, it did it to me too..." she indicated the meal before her. "It served me this... and told me to enjoy it."

"Wait.., what?"

"Yeah. I'm going to get Fives down here to have a look at it and then report to the Captain that the replicators are... thinking creatively."

"More sabotage?" the Bolian inquired as she sat opposite Torilla.

"I don't know... this would be a very creative way to sabotage a ship..." Torilla paused. "So there goes my original theory."

"Did you eat any of it?"

"No. I was going to enjoy the aroma first.." the larger woman admitted.

Siaxx produced her tricorder. "I came prepared... I'm always on duty as you know."

Torilla smiled as Siaxx quickly scanned both plates of food and sure enough, they were both in good shape and were full of healthy foodstuffs, no poison or anything else was wrong that could be detected so Siaxx sighed. "Go ahead... lets eat."

"No... just in case." Torilla commented quietly as she rose to her feet and she recycled the food, her stomach was growling at her in protest as she then recycled Siaxx's food as well, then she went and god a couple of ration cubes from the second storage locker and tossed one to the Bolian. "Sorry hon." Torilla commented.

"So. what do you think IS happening aboard ship?" Siaxx asked her old friend as she ate a bite of her food.

"I have a few idea... all are revolving around the new computer core.." she regarded her old friend. "Could you test for intelligence?"

"I could... but you're not.... Torilla that's impossible."

"Is it... eat up and I'll explain.." the Halanian smiled as she likewise ate a bite of the rations as she winced. "God I always hated these things... well if you ever needed to loose weight, eat these things."

"Yeah ain't that the truth, but Torilla. I still need you in sickbay for a medical checkup as you are now six weeks late... it'll only take ten minutes."

"Alright. lets finish this then we'll handle that.." the larger woman sighed softly as she hated medical checkups as they were supposed to be quick and easy but in her experience they never were.
