It all began with an old love song sung by Dr. [[Calhan, Jophry|Calhan]] from the [[USS Ursa Major]], during which Lt. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] danced with J.G. [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] (boxing gloves off), at least until they decided to mingle with [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]]'s friends. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] introduced her to LtCmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] and his newish bride (married a while but torn apart before their honeymoon by the heartless monster that is Starfleet's bureaucracy) Lt. [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair-Walker]] (formerly, and still occasionally, known as Adair). The girls laughed, the boys chatted, and LtCmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] tried to decide whether [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] should die for dating his best friend (he's very possessive). Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] thanked LtCmdr. [[Maria, Cara|Maria]] for playing ghost-sister to him by nearly crying all over her table and asking her to dance. The Lt. then switched to anger-mode upon seeing Ens. [[Reed, Sarah|Reed]] and promptly ordered her to dance with him... angrily. They battled briefly, words flying, and then... fell in love. Or did they? (Tune in next time for the exciting conclusion!). After being left baffled on the dance floor, Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] went to the bar, where Lt. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] asked him to dance. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]]'s hopes of dancing with his ACEy-yO were thwarted when Lt. [[Banks, Susan|Banks]] from the [[USS Ursa Major|Ursa]] answered his call to the dance floor instead of [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]]. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] then took a moment to commiserate about his lonely state with an Independence officer, Lt. [[Cruise, Allen|Cruise]], until Lt. [[Ventu, Lily|Ventu]] came over looking for a dance partner. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] foisted the recently betrothed [[Ventu, Lily|Ventu]] onto the unsuspecting [[Cruise, Allen|Cruise]] while J.G. [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]], technically [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]]'s date, danced with another Engineer, J.G. [[Sharpe, Paul|Sharpe]], ACEy-yO of the Indy (boxing gloves on). [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] broke free of [[Banks, Susan|Banks]], [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] gracefully excused herself from [[Sharpe, Paul|Sharpe]], and the two danced happily ever after (boxing gloves off). Meanwhile LtCmdr. [[Maria, Cara|Maria]] joined the congratulations crowd, getting lost in it for a while and growing an empathic headache (much like a Chia-Pet) until [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] "saved her" by tossing her, unarmed, at the ravenous Ambassador Joanna Wilde. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] and [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] went back to dancing, but were interrupted by a strange telepathic human of mysterious background and then by the Ambassador. [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] (boxing gloves on) shook the Mystery Man's, Captain Gersh Nathan's, hand and was nonetheless exposed to his disturbing psyche ([[Haliian]] are touch-telepathic, you know). The [[USS Ursa Major|Ursa]] crew saved the cute couple from the Ambassador, and Mystery Man moved on, leaving them to dance again (boxing gloves off). While all this was going on, [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair(-Walker)]] poured synthehol into a plant to replace it with real Scotch, used that to get a [[Vulcan]] (Lt. [[Salak]]) drunk, and picked a fight with an [[Andorian]] (Lt. [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]]). [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]] took the honorable path and ducked out of the fight... by stealing her flask and running. He tossed the flask away to distract her, but Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] didn't think that was a good enough diversion, so he snatched it, called to the Scot, and emptied it into the same plant as the synthehol (lucky plant). Outside in the hallway, Capt. [[Idril Mar|Mar]] and LtCmdr. [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] had a brief chat with [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]] until [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] came running by warning of the ensuing Scottish invasion and whisking the [[Andorian]] away. [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] and [[Idril Mar|Mar]] laughed at the young men and went about their merry way. [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair(-Walker?)]] cornered the the other two and [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] had them all (Lts. [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair]], [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]], & [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]]) beamed to the [[Double Shot]] (that's on the Ronin) where he stole the Scot some Scotch and the three became fast friends (he may have also bribed her with the promise of a few more cases from Earth). The three Lts. returned to the [[USS Ursa Major|Ursa]] where LtCmdr. [[Maria, Cara|Maria]] was being hit on by Lt. [[Cruise, Allen|Cruise]] of the Indy while she tried to go home. [[Thelev, Jhen|Jhen]] saved the day, which left [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] to dance with [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair]], but she was soon beamed to a private holosuite on the [[USS Ronin|Ronin]] to enjoy her, ahem, "Walkerdom". While [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] played Kirk, wooing ladies left and right till night was day, [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] and [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] finished the evening in his quarters getting splashed with water by his spawn, [[Brice, Matthew|Baby Hollenbricedaleson]]. | It all began with an old love song sung by Dr. [[Calhan, Jophry|Calhan]] from the [[USS Ursa Major]], during which Lt.

by Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Jackford B. Kolk]] | |||
On their way home from the far end of the galaxy, someone sneezed and the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' fell apart, thus forcing the crew to step out of Roddenberry's masterpiece and into Frank Herbert's. Luckily they got to take their technology with them... and the Worms, which our friends from the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' called Sand Sharks, didn't mind one bit. They found the crew just as tastey as they would've been without it. After about a day of dismemberment, weeping, and nashing of teeth, they learned that the local worms didn't like water much, so Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] rigged a giant water-cannon from replicator bits and a spare impulse injection manifold. Lt.J.G. [[Illium, Nek|Illium]] also set up a bunch of spiffy Shark-Stopper things around the makeshift camp, but they weren't as much fun to play with as the giant squirt gun. | |||
After being saved from the surface of Dune--err, I mean ::cough:: Rakis--by a group of Ferengi who had been trying to steal the Ronin, the gallant (and now 10% dead) crew soon became a bit more bored and frustrated then gallant (though just as dead). But that's okay, they were just being towed to [[DS17]] in a ship that could barely handle warp three without groaning and crumbling miserably to the aethers. To celebrate their miserable state, they threw a party in the Double Shot on the way to [[DS17]], at which time Lt. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] conspired to give Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] the pleasure of promoting Ens. [[Reed, Sarah|Reed]] to Lt.J.G. Then, on the long trip to [[Earth]] for more extensive repairs than [[DS17]] could give, several of the crew got their heads shrunk by Lt.J.G. [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]], others were killed on stage in the Scottish play (the Counselor figured, "We've just watched 1/10th of our number killed for real; I think now would be a good time to remind us of our mortality with a dark, bloody play that sometimes gets its actors killed"... yup, that's why we consider her the best counselor in the fleet!) | |||
Upon reaching [[Earth]], some crewmembers actually found time to relax - Lt.J.G. [[Rogers, William|Rogers]] tried to woo [[Sarion]], but merely wound up mooning a monk. Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] showed Lt.J.G. [[Reed, Sarah|Reed]] around Seattle, but the French-speaking Brit-femme disappeared more than once to rendezvous with her an old flame to whom she was secretly betrothed - but before long the senior staff were forced to endure yet another wedding ceremony - this time that of Captain [[Mar, Idril|Mar]] and LtCmdr. [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] - followed by a rather stressful investigation of the bride's near-immediate disappearance. (Any speculation that the honeymoon was short-lived and possibly the worst in the history of the Federation is, at best, an understatement.) As it turns out, LtCmdr. [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]]'s alternate universe counterpart ([[Wilde, Danny (alternate)|Alt. Wilde]] for short) kidnapped Captain [[Mar, Idril|Mar]] and the real LtCmdr. [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]], ran off to France and tried to lull her into thinking he was the real [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] by drugging her. Like all villains, however, he made one fatal mistake: he told the senior staff all about his evil plan before leaving... and trusted [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]] to carry it out. Okay, two fatal mistakes: he told them his plan and trusted [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]]... and let [[Mar, Idril|Mar]] get close enough to correct [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] for him to clear her head with Borg nanites. Okay, ''three'' fatal mistakes... Anyway, some of the crew chased ([[Wilde, Danny (alternate)|Alt. Wilde]], others chased [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]], [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]] chased [[Wilde, Danny (alternate)|Alt. Wilde]], and Ens. [[Trell, Breya|Trell]] wrestled Lt.J.G. [[Valis]] for Lt. [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]]'s love. Er... scratch that last part. | |||
Meanwhile, back at the Fleetyards... | |||
Some random group of mercenaries, including a single Gorn, attempted to steal the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' for their own neffarious purposes, but a small group of Roninites (including Ens. [[Trell, Breya|Trell]] actually) struggled against them. The sweet, young, Andorian (i.e. [[Trell, Breya|Trell]]) managed to knock out the Warp Core just as the ''[[USS Arthur Royale]]'' swooped in to save the day, per Starfleet orders of course. Oddly enough, before any one officially involved in stopping the mercs accomplished anything, [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]] flew by in his stolen shuttle, the ''[[SS Idril Mar]]'', and beamed most of the Gorn merc off the ship. Yes, that said "most" of him. A bit here, a bit there, a grousomely severed head in Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]]'s quarters... But we're getting ahead of our selves: | |||
A bit before all that in France, [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]] caught up with [[Wilde, Danny (alternate)|Alt. Wilde]] just before the team that was chasing him, a surprise [[Thelev, Jhen (alternate)|Alternate Thelev]] convinced [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]] to leave [[Wilde, Danny (alternate)|Alt. Wilde]] behind and fly off in the man's private shuttle (after beating him profusely, of course). Once [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]] had gone to fighte the Gorn and plunder the galaxy, [[Thelev, Jhen (alternate)|Alt. Thelev]] revealed that he was in fact working solely for [[Wilde, Danny (alternate)|Alt. Wilde]] and convinced the man to give Captain [[Mar, Idril|Mar]] back to her crew... [[Wilde, Danny (alternate)|Alt. Wilde]] obligingly shot her up with more Borg nanites, died a crumbly [[ACD]] death, and then [[Thelev, Jhen (alternate)|Alt. Thelev]] blew the two of them up to save the universe-natives from having to clean him up off the floor. | |||
Once all that had been sorted out, everyone met back at the [[Wilde Estate]] and had a couple quiet weeks of rehab and relaxation. Lt. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] moped about after having been crushed under a chandaleer. Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] ran off to a pub in Oxford and got himself wasted and paranoid for a day. Cmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin|Walker]] got his head shrunk by LtCmdr. [[Maria, Cara|Maria]], who later impressed Lt.J.G. [[Rogers, William|Rogers]] with her tree-floating abilities (she's quite the little ninja, actually). [[Sarion]] flirted with Lt.J.G. [[Rogers, William|Rogers]] a bit, but he was unable to set up a date with her, unlike Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] who sweet-talked his way into a chess date once they were back on the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]''. However, when that time arrived, They were all stunned to learn that their [[Mar, Idril|Captain]] had been quarantined at Starfleet Medical and replaced by a Southern interloper... (Oooo, left you with a cliff-hanger...) | |||
... | |||
Oh yeah, and Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] finally came face-to-face with [[Kolk, Jackford (alternate)|Evil Kolk]]'s special gift... and promptly asked Lt. [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]] if he could have new quarters. | |||
