Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – CO Private quarters – CO Captain Lowell – 0430) Alexandra finally fell asleep after a wave of lonliness passed away. It gave her a chill, she was missing Tahl and didn't know what would be her reaction. It usually translated through her dreams. This night was no different. Alexandra was unaware of what was going on outside. She didn't hear any noises and her senses was more or less there. She was dreaming, and since she knew that Tahl was coming back multiple scenarios went through her head this time a little did she knew it was reality. In her dream, he arrived in the bedroom in the middle of the night. He first observed her sleep but couldn't resist to walk toward her. He very slowly lay beside her, she was back to him. His hand carress her arm, a chill came over her but he kept going has she wasn't pulling away. Arriving to the shoulder he gently turn her to him. It was usually at that moment that she would wake up suddenly and be sadden that it wasn't true but this time he was right here looking at him with a big smile on his face. "Hello love." he said has he kissed her cheek. “YOU'RE BACK?” (Reply from none, actually that was already done) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (Scorpian - Bridge - Commander Tahlmari - 0557) Tahl stood outside the viewing area of Drakes screen, and listened to the conversation between the pirate and the new FO of Cochrane. He wasn't sure if he felt happy, or sorry for B'Lanor. What he did know was that the Vulcan had saved his life once abd he wasn't going to forget that. =^=I trust Commander Tahlmari is well?=^= "Commander Tahllmari is just fine," Tahl said, coming up behind Drake. "Welcome back sirs, I am presently unaware of the counsellors position however the Captain is presently still asleep in your quarters Commander, I can wake her sir if you wish, sothat she can meet you when you arrive?" "That won't be necessary," Tahl said, "I think I'll wake her myslef. Be prepared to receive us soon." (reply Fugan) (posted by Al Muir) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane - CO Private quarters - CO Captain Lowell & XO Comdr Tahlmari - 0430) Tahl had set the coordinates so that he would materialize in the living room of his and Alex's quarters. He stood on the middle of the room just looking. Then he closed his eyes and simply felt the room. His skin tinglesd as his mind again began picking up the intricacies of Alex's emotions. He breathed in, smelling her fragrance in the air, and the familiar scents of home. He reveled in it for a moment. Then, after a deep breath he opened his eyes again. Moving silently he began to relieve himself of his burdens. His bags, and then his clothes. Now Tahl was beginning to notice some of the subtle changes in himself since he was last on the Cochrane. He took off his shoes and rubbed his toes into the pile of the carpeting. He never used to like having his shoes off. Now he truely enjoyed it. He got a glass of ice water from the replicator and headed to the bedroom. He stopped at the door and watched the silhouette of Alex laying on the bed. He smiled and felt his love for her deep in heart. He had been a little afraid that their seperation would cause a slight diminishing of their connection, but that had proven to be erroneous worrying. Tahl struggled to control himself, his emotions, and keeping a tight wrap on his mind, so as not to disturb Alex with his arrival. He wanted this moment to be a true surprise. he wanted to see the look on her eyes when she realized that he was there. That anticipation alone was difficult to repress. But Lee's training had been too good. Silently he walked over to the bed. He pulled a small box from his pocket and placed it on the small night table beside the bed. Then he sat down on the edge of the bed. It was the first sign that he had disturbed Alex's slumber. She rolled over and tahl got the fist glimpse of her face. He couldn't believe how he was feeling. Carefully, he brushed away the hair that had fallen out of place. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "Hello love." "YOU'RE BACK?" It took her a couple of seconds. "Am I dreaming?" As she said that question, her arms surrounded him... She wasn't dreaming. "I'm so happy, I think I'm going to explode. I have missed you so much." Their link was there and very alive, it was making her a bit light headed to feel so many emotions, shaky a little and she was so happy as 2 long rivers of tears rolled down her cheeks. Tahl held alex's ace in his hands and kissed each check. He wiped at the tears with his thumbs. "I take it you missed me then." He leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips. Slowly their mouths opened to a more passionate kiss. Alexandra felt like she was melting away and answered with more patience, she also just the warmth of him against her. "There wasn't a day where I didn't think of you. I felt like part of me was missing. Sometimes, I couldn't sleep in this room because I was missing you so much." She whispered in his ear has they held each other. "I must tellyou, I feel like I'm loosing control." She pass her hand in his hair and caress his cheek, she wanted to look into his eyes and she just smiled away. Tahl's eyes twinkled with mischief and love. "Control? What's that?" He held Alex close and pushed her down onto the bed. He swung his legs over her so that he straddled her waist. Holding her hands above her head he leaned down and kissed her. Then he moved his hands slowly down, keeping contact with her skin. He could feel the shivers running through her body. Her eyes closed and her breathing pattern changed. He stopped his hands at the bottom of the top she had been wearing and quickly pulled it over her head. Unable to contain his own feelings any longer he gave her a hard kiss. "I have missed yo so much." Those six little words were enough to provoke the biggest type of storm in any woman's heart and in Alex's even more so . Suddenly, it exploded. A couple of hours later, laying on the floor beside the bed. Alexandra was peacefully resting in Tahl's arms with a smile on her face. "I love loosing control like this. I just have one other problem now... How will I be able to work when the only thing on my mind is you back on board and wanting to be near you like this?" "Well then," Tahl answered her, rolling over and looking into Alex's face, "I suppose that we'll just have to do this again, and again, until it gets to be old hat." "Yes, again, again, again and again!" She caressed his back and gave him a long kiss. With a malicious smile she added. "You have been working out, I could tell... What else did you do? Actually, how did you came back?" She pass her hand in his shaggy hair and rested them over his shoulder. "What else did I do?" Tahl laughed. "You name it, I learned about it. Captain Lee proved to be a very resourceful teacher. I not only worked out my body, but also my mind. How I got back is an easier question to ask." He brushed the hair from Alex's eyes. "I hitched a ride from Drake on the Scorpian." "Drake is here... I know someone who will be deliriously happy." She paused. "You were the first and the last person on my mind but I did a lot of things too you know while you were gone." "And I want to here about every last one of them," Tahl said with a smile. "But for now, I just want to be with you." He rolled on top of Alex and kissed her. His eyes closed and he poured all of his feelling of love through his body and into the kiss. He sent that love through their connection and could feel Alex's resolve melt from the experience. Their bodies both responded in the same manner. Intertwined, Tahl could feel his need grow until he was ready to explode. "You know," Tahl said, catching his breath, "Drake is here to marry Rose. I was thinking, why don't we make a day of it." Alexandra was wondering where he was going. "When you said that Drake was here, I knew it was for that." Tahl sat up and turned to face Alex. He held her hands and looked into her eyes. "I'm thinking that I do not ever want to leave you again, and if I do I want everyone to know how I feel about you. I want us to get married, not someday but this day. Or at least as soon as possible." "Did you kidnap a priest or smuggle LoDona in your pockets somewhere?" Then it came to her. "Of course... Drake is the key! Am I right?" She started to laugh but then became serious. "So I was right to create my wedding dress then." Tahl smiled. "He may not be the most decorated Starfleet officer in history, but technically, he is captain of his ship, and can perform the ceremony. It would sort be a mutual wedding. He'd marry you and me and you'd marry him and Rose. What do you think?" For a moment Alexandra remain silent, then she lean over and gave him a little kiss on the lips and sat back. "Starfleet command will laugh so hard that even the Borgs will hear it. Ok... let's put the show on the road then." "I love it when you talk all official like," tahl laughed and kissed Alex again. "As I a matter of fact, I thik I love everything about you." "You do... It's the same for me... I like everything about you... but you tell me first." Tahl cocked his head to the side, and smiled. "Okay then, I love everything about you. " He leaned for for a little more than just a kiss. (reply none) (posted by Al Muir and Laurence Durnad) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane - Crew quarters – COUNS Lt. Cantarzini & Captain Drake – 0600) Rose turned in early, around 2200. She had seen patients nearly all day. Cases of anxiety, some of lost. She knew that they would be others has that civil war went on. Has she got ready for bed, she couldn't help to be happy and excited. She knew that soon Drake was coming to see her and he had a surprise. The only surprise she wanted was him and her parents, and in that order. She hadn't heard from him since a week now, but she knew that he was coming. Now, it was 0600, she was dreaming and it was peaceful and calm, actually, she was walking on the beach, the breeze was rafraishing. The moon was bright in the sky with the stars, the sand squish between her toes with delite. She also felt that she wasn't alone, there was a warm presence. She stop and sat on the cool sand overlooking at the ocean. The feeling was getting stronger, she was more aware of it has she lay on the sand, it woke her up and she turn toward the window. It was a pleasant shock, Drake was there looking at her sleep, she got up and ran to his arms. “You are back!” She said smiling. Drake had thought of a lot of things he wanted to do once he finally was back, but, when he arrived Rose’s quarters she was asleep. He was content to just stand there and watch how beautiful she was in her sleep. He watched as her breast went up and down ever so slightly with her breathing, the serene look she had on her face as she appearently was having a pleasant dream, the way her hair lay about her head on the pillow as it just made her that much more beautiful. Then he notice for the first time the rise around her middle and a sweet smile came over his face as he thought of them having a child together. As he knew she would, he felt that she was slowly awakening because she could feel him. The feeling had to overtake her sleep and he noticed that it took a bit of doing which meant that she had been a bit tired. This worried him that she had probably worked too hard for her condition, but, he knew she would just shrug it off. He moved to the other side of her as to be a bit hidden and for her to have to turn around to see where he was. As she awoke, his smile got larger and when she finally turned toward him the look on her face was priceless. She then got up and floated into his arms which felt really right. He could feel how they both had missed each other and he hugged her as much as he could without hurting the baby, their baby. He looked down on her with a big grin, “you miss me love?” "Missed you! I have been missing you from the moment you left." She put her head against his chest. "We barely talked during this time appart." Her voice was shaking a bit with emotions, she could feel her heart beating so fast, just like Drake's was. He wanted so much to just let the cavalier side of him to take over and let the deep emotions that they both were feeling just run off him like water. He could feel her too much to do that to her, but, he was also having a lot of emotions run through him, he knew then that all of them was not just his, but, hers also. He sat them both down on the bed, so she would not stand too long in her condition. “Easy love, I am hear now with your family safe and sound. I did not want to give away the Cochrane’s position just in case there were ears listening in.” He smiled at her and gently ran his hand through her wonderful hair trying to sooth her. "I know... I just missed you and the baby too. He is just moving right now, I guess I woke him up." She took Drake's hand and put it where the baby was moving. "I think that it's one of his feet." She smiled. "A month ago, I started to feel him move." She took a deep breath to calm herself down. He felt their baby move and a feeling of pride swelled up more in him and the wonder of it all. The miracle of birth to him was an awesome thing which he did not fully understand why the female of their species would endure it. He knew that it had to be an uncomfortable occasion for them and when the baby wanted to try the world out, it would hurt them. He also knew that some of the mothers to be never made it to the point of seeing the child they so lovingly took care of as the danger of child birth overcame them. He knew that in this day and age it was not a common thing where the mother died at childbirth, but, it still happened and it worried him a bit. He did not want to lose Rose,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ever. “I love the feeling,” he said as he felt the baby kick once again, “but you are worrying me. You have been working too much. It can not be a good thing for the baby or you for that matter. Have you been eating right, getting enough sleep? It seems that you have had a lot of stress while I been gone. Tell me what has happened.” He let go with some of the questions that had bothered him during his return. “I have been working, but I'm always seated. I have been heating right, Kono the ship's cook made sure of that. I have plenty of good snaks during the day, and I take pauses between patience. The crew is under stress, and there for I am as well with concern. Sleep, I don't have any problem sleeping, on the contrary. I had to push back my schedule. I start work around 1030 hrs, instead of 0900, at the exception of yesterday. I have also someone to help me, she is doing a good job and took a lot of my loads.” Rose lay back on the bed and pull up the covers over herself, she felt a bit cold. “Come beside me! I want you to be close to me please.” She smiled has her hand took his. Drake settled down beside her to keep her warm and to listen to her. It felt so good having her beside him once again. He cradled her in his arms as they lay there and the feeling he could have let go forever, wanted to go forever. There were just too many things that needed to be accomplished for them to remain there that long. “Your parents are wonderful people and I tried to make their stay on the Scorpian as safe and comfortable as I could. Oh, and I brought back a present for Alex, which, I hope was not too expected.” He said with the sly smile of his. “What is it Love?” Rose welcomed the feeling of warmth, it was wonderful and she didn't want to let it go. “I brought Tahl back for her.” He answered her in a self satisfying way. “He and I had a lot of good talks together as we ventured out to look for the Cochrane and the loves of our lives.” Rose left a particular feeling. “I thing that they found each other right now. What did you talk? Unless it's a big secret.” She put a kiss to the level of his heart and lay her cheek over it. There was a wave of excitment in the air. Drake relished in the feeling of Rose on his chest and kissed her hair as she lay there. “Ah what did we talk about, hmm, I think that will become apparent later.” He replied to her with a chuckle. “Let’s just say that he was in the mood to talk about wedding plans for he and Alex. I must say that it makes my heart happy to see that they are meant for each other and they seem to be going to have a happy time.” Drake said then a bit of a sadness came over him, “but, I know and have seen what happens with people in Starfleet, they don’t tend to stay together very long. It seems Starfleet likes to separate the people that have fallen in love.” Then he paused thing about themselves a moment, “They will not and can not separate us, at least not for very long, I promise you.” He thought about other commitment he has made that could put him in more danger, but, he did not want to explain that to her at this moment. He just put it in the back of his mind for the moment as her happiness was paramount for him right at the present moment. “I know what you mean and for a Captain, it's even harder to have a relationship. But you know Alex, she's not someone that can be thrown off easily. When she has something in her mind, you better get out of her way.” She look up to him with a smile. “Her an I did a lot of things, for one, we have both created are wedding dresses. I really love mine.” Drake smiled at the mention of her wedding dress, “hmm on that point, I am not too sure when we will be able to complete our ceremony. I have some things I have to do, so, my stay here will not be very long unfortunately.” He said this to her to get more of a reaction as it was somewhat the truth, it just did not have to be done that fast. “You're kidding right!” She suddenly sat on the bed and gave him a wounded look. Drake could not help but smile as he looked into her beautiful wondering eyes. He could feel the hurt in them that would come about if he was to leave in such a short time. He wanted to continue the ruse but he had not the heart for it. He reached out for her and pulled her back down on his chest as he replied to her. “It is true that I do have to leave to do something, but, it is not true that I have to go right away.” He told her as he smiled warmly, but, inwardly he was not looking forward to leaving her once again. “I miss the moment we had on the Scorpion... It's your fault you know. One month with you, together, and I am addicted now. I know your work is important.” A bit relieve but sad of the news he told her. “You know you can always come with me, but, what you see will have to stay with you or I would have to kill you.” At the last he chuckled as he knew the pains she would go through to keep what she saw to herself. He also knew that she would be able to accomplish it. “I have relieved that time every time I walked into my quarters. I even sometimes slept in different quarters as the pain of you not being there was too much for me.” He did not like putting forward what pained him to anyone, but, to her it was not the same, it was like admitting it to himself. “Sometimes, I just start to cry because I miss you so much. It's so painful. I love you so much, but I feel I should stay here... I just wish we had more time together, but I don't regret anything.” She let a tear roll down her cheek has she put her head against his chest. Drake could feel her pain and her commitment as the tear reached his chest. He also had no regrets, actually, he was grateful for every moment he had been with the Cochrane and with Rose. If he had not found the Cochrane like he did, he would never have found Rose and been complete as he has never been before. Now he was not only going to marry the one for him, he is going to have a child with her. “My love, even though we are not physically together, nothing will ever separate us, except distance.” He said as he hugged her once again. “But, for now, we have a wedding to plan and execute. Also, your parents want to see you.” Rose smile just has the thought of getting married with the man she love and belong. Also the presence of her parents had been a wish of hers for a long time now. “I can't wait to see them... heu... who will marry us and when will we do this ceremony? Unless you have kidnap a priest on your way here.” She said maliciously. “Hmm well that thought did come to mind.” Drake said with a smile, “But, Tahl came up with a way to do it without kidnapping anyone.” He paused to get her curiosity up. “As it comes down we have two starship captains that can do that very thing. At least as far as Tahl says, I will marry Alex and Tahl, Alex will marry us, simple but funny solution.” “Funny... I wonder what Alex will think about this. But, it's a good idea.” She started to yawn. “Sorry Sweety, the baby finally settled down and I'm getting sleepy too. By the way, it's a boy we are having. I have the last picture in the baby book I have started.” “You have already mentioned it was a ‘he’ so I took it as being a male.” He smiled proudly at the thought of having their first being a boy. “As for Alex, leave that up to Tahl and I have a feeling she wont complain.” he chuckled at that. “Anyways you get your sleep, I will look at the book and then I have to go back to the ship to do some things. Just rest comfortably, I am here now.” Rose couldn't resist the wave of warm and comfort in her has her eyes close. She was happy that he was here. All the words, the sound of his voice was dancing in her head. They were going to get married, and her parents were on board. She yawn again, pulling the bedsheet under her chin. “It's on the nightstand... by your picture... Don't be too long Love.” He waited until she was completely asleep before he moved over to the night stand to look over the pictures. Pride swelled up in him as he looked at his, that thought felt wonderful, sons picture. He looked at the pictures that she had also taken of herself as she slowly got bigger and much more beautiful as their son grew inside her. He wondered if she knew just how beautiful most men consider the woman that carry their child was or even pregnant women in general. She seemed to be handling her condition well and he was glad it was not affecting her health as he don’t know what he would do if he lost her. Replicating the Red roses that Rose always liked, he laid them down on the pillow he would have laid his head on with a note telling her again that he loved her beyond all hope. The bent down and kissed her forehead then left to do some things that needed to be done that he foregone while he went to see his love. (Reply from none) (Posted by Laurence & Frank) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Crew quarters – COUNS Lt. Cantarzini – 0830) Rose woke up around 0830 smelling food and light noises. She smiled and knew... it was her parents cooking her a breakfast. She turn and look at her bedside table, but what cut her eyes was that red Rose. She took it and breath in it's perfume. ~Drake... I didn't dream!~ She wished that he was beside her. She wanted his arms right now and lay her head on his chest like she did very early that morning. She look at the ship chronometer, true that she didn't have any work but she wanted to be available, even more so to discuss the wedding preparation. She was going to sit on the edge of the bed when she heard a voice... her mother. “Don't even think of getting up... I'm coming with breakfast... Just get yourself comfortable.” “Yes mom!” Rose settled back in bed and brought the bedsheets over her legs. She settled a pillow behind her and on under her legs. She closed her eyes and slowly breath in and out 3 long breath. Her hands on her belly. She could feel the baby, the connection was wonderful and like her, he was hungry and feeling restless. “Hurry up mom... he is hungry and can't wait to meet you.” “I know... nearly finished in making your favourite. pancakes, with strawberries. A tall glass of milk, and I added a slice banana to your pancake topping.” “Wonderful!” Ayla Fiori entered the bedroom with an heavy tray with a soft smile on her face. She took a moment to look at her daughter and felt so happy. “You look beautiful... Drake was so excited to have seen you he could hardly erase that smile off his face. He is so proud, like me and your father.” “Where is dad... he isn't here?” “He is on the Scorpion, talking to the engineers... again. He is talking too much but I guess that is work but he is so happy right now, I don't want to interrupt him. He will be there... he promised. I know that you have to go to the bridge... your Captain probably is starting to have a few wedding ideas... So eat up.” “Yes!” First thing... she took a sip of her cold glass milk and armed with a knife and fork, dug in the pancakes. “The baby, how is he doing?” She sat on the edge of the bed and look at her daughter. Motherhood made her look beautiful. “The bady is doing wonderful... look at the baby pictures that was taken by Doctor Weasley. He will be on time... 4 months to wait.” “Did Drake bounded with the child yet? I think he left her pretty quickly.” “They link but not bounded yet. Hopefully, in the honeymoon, he will bound with are son... His smile was so priceless, but I was tired and after a while couldn't resist the call of sleep.” “I could sleep for a day when I was pregnant. Did you stop work?” “I have transfer work to Ensign Garrett, I will counsel a few patience, a hand full that are particular. I will have a lot of free time to relax and rest. I will start on the baby room this week. I will have a crib here for easy access.” “Don't talk with your mouth full! I know that you are excited.” Her mother chuckled. “I have brought a few things for you and the baby.” She got up. “I will get your uniform and clean up the kitchen.” She bent over her daughter and gave her a kiss on her forehead. “Your father can't wait to hold his grandson in his arms and even more you.” “I can't wait to see dad too.” (Reply from none) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Private quarters - CO Captain Lowell – 0830) Alexandra was the one up first, she turn around to look at Tahl lay in the bed, she could feel and even touch happiness in this very room. Her energy was up despite that she didn't sleep much once they were together. She cross the threshold of the bedroom door and said. “Computer, express breakfast for 2 and warm up the bathroom.” Alexandra put breakfast on the table and knew that Tahl was up, actually he had sneak up behind her and grab her by the waist, giving her a long kiss in the nap of her neck. “It feels wonderful, but we have to hurry dear. I have to be on the bridge at 0900.” Alexandra succeeded to turn and face him with a smile on her face. (Reply from Tahl) “I know, I want to stay in and go a bit crazy, but if you want to get married today... there is a few things to be done, orders to give, news to tell.” She gave him a kiss has she caress his face.

Cantarzini, Patricia O'Leary, Kono, Captain Drake to come to my ready room... for 0900.” (Reply from Capps) “There's no particular reason, actually, it's something of a surprise that I will reveal to the crew shortly... Lowell out.” Alexandra felt Tahl's hand take hers and bring her to him. “Are you full of energy this morning... keep some for tonight my Love!

Alexandra gave a smile to Tahl and on a padd wroted something up, a little speech. Everyone that she call came and some that were on the bridge, return to there console. Once she saw that everyone was there, she got up. “Ensign Capps, I want you to record what I am about to say from this point till I finish my little speech.” (Reply from Capps) Alexandra took a deep breath and think, she was nervous. “Everyone, it came to my attention that the crew ask to have some free time.

She saw everyone getting around the Captain some telling her they were happy for her. Lichfield came to her and said. “Counselor may I congratulate you. I look forward to the wedding. I better put the clean up crews on stand by. “Thank you, that is a really good idea considering. Hope we don't have a bad guest coming.

(Reply from Rose, anyone) (Posted by Mike) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane - Bridge - 2O/Chief Ops Ensign Calvin Capps - 0917) Calvin gazed at his black console which had the latest communication read out on it until Captain Lowell spoke up. “Ensign Capps, I want you to record what I am about to say from this point till I finish my little speech.” "Aye sir" Calvin pushed a button on his console. Alexandra took a deep breath and think, she was nervous. “Everyone, it came to my attention that the crew ask to have some free time. I understand them, I need also some down time to rest, we have been working really hard to restore this ship and I congratulate each and everyone for the good work done. I can assure you that the next M class planet, if primary search and analysis deam it to be safe, we will have some shor leave. In the mean time, and to give some down time to everyone before we start are next assigment with that nebula we will have a celebration... actually two celebration.” Alexandra paused to take a breath. It seem that everyone was listening with full attention. “I think that everyone knows that Comdr Tahlmari is back with us, I'm the first one very happy about this, and the word isn't strong enough. Also that are Counselor, Lt. Cantarzini have her fiance also, and through the grape vines..” She blink at Rose. “I have heard some interesting news, also, I have one myself. Today, there will be two weddings. Lt. Rose Cantarzini and Captain Drake decided to join there lives together... the second news, they are not the only one... Comdr Tahlmari and myself will do the same. So, effective immidiatly, we are on down time protocole. Minimum crew on active duty, the celebration may begin. Formal ware will not be required, but is an option. Further information about time and place will be given to you in the following hours. Calvin was amazed by the news but not really surprise. He the back of his mind it had to happen some day and he was happy for both couple and knew that he would have time to congradulate them at a later time but he stood up from his seat and turned to both of them and said a complemtary "Congradulations" to both of them. ~They have alot of plans to do~ Calvin immediatly turned back to his screen and put into effect the low duty roster and he turned off the recording.

Now, Counselor Cantarzini, her parents that should be coming soon, Captain Drake and the commander will go to my ready room.” Snider came forward. “Patricia O'Leary, and Kono are already there waiting for you.” “Wonderful...

He came to her with the same smile decided to give a kiss on the cheek of Rose. (Reply from Tahl) “Thank you... I'm a bit impatient at the moment to prepare this wedding.” She pass her arm underneath Tahl's and she gave him a smile. They made there way to the Ready room. (Reply from Tahl, Capps, anyone) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Ready Room – CO Captain Lowell & XO Comdr Tahlmari – 0945) Alexandra look at everyone leaving the informal meeting. Rose with her parents, Patricia to prepare Ten Forward, and Kono to his pots and pans. It left Tahl who was looking at her with a smile. She took a few steps that separated her from him and sat on his lap passing an arm around his neck. "What are you thinking Love?" "What it would be like for us to be alone again." he said with an evil smile and kissed her. Alexandra welcome it, but then back away a little. “Honeymoon hein... I have a special mission for you, and I know you will like it.” She gave him a kiss and after smile. “I want you to create an holodeck program, for Drake and Rose honeymoon, by the same occasion, if you are really inspired, create one for us as well.” She said softly as she pass her hand in his hair. Tahl chuckled, "Well I would jsut have to recreate last night for us." Then he thought for a moment. "As for Drake and Rose, I may have an idea in there." He poked at his head. "What do you think of an ancient Earth pirate ship?" Tahl asked. “That would be perfect, Drake would get a kick out of it.” She paused and look into his eyes. “Last night was wonderful, I hope for even more. I also have to go to see him on his ship.” Alexandra said that wondering what he would say about it. Tahl could sense her hesitation, but his days of petty jealousy were gone. He knew that Alex was his, and there was nothing to worry about. Still he was curious. "Really, why is that?" “Don't speak of anything out of those walls. Hall makes sure there's no spying devices here. If he got any information from the station logs and also something that I will talk to you about later. I'm not sure what to think of it yet.” Suddenly Tahl was serious. This did not feel like Alex was playing a joke. She was genuinely worried about something. It suddenly came back to him that Tahl had been gone for 2 months and that things might have happened while he was gone. "Alex, you shouldn't even have to ask that of me. What's going on?" “I had to take a few measures... someone send me something which are making me ask a lot of questions but that I can't tell anyone. The only one who knows, is Lt. Dupree.” Alexandra got up and took Tahl's hand, she made him get up and they walk behind her desk. She sat him down, punch a few keys on her console. “Watch this recording please.” The first images was of a men who look strangely like Alex's father, he was in a crowd among cardassians and others and he was talking to a merchant. Then, the recording turn toward other people to return back to the man and after the record abruptly stop. Alexandra turn a picture on her desk... the one of her father and mother. Tahl looked from the screen to the picture and back to the recording. "So whoever sent you this is suggesting that your father was working with the Cardassians? For what purpose?" “There is something else, those people walking behind him. I have a feeling and I think Drake has the answers. My instinct tells me danger and it's usually right. This means something Tahl, I'm being watch, and who ever wants me to react... I don't know why or who, but it's obvious.” Alexandra turn off the monitor and had a sudden chill. “I know that I have to talk to Drake and privately, and I can't do that here.” Tahl looked at Alex. More has been going on on the Cochrane than she has told him. "I understand," he said nodding. He was feeling not only out of the lop but a little helpless. He had just spent two months learning to take care of problems like these. "Do you want me to start an investigation too?" “I went to the end of my roll searching who it could be, also Lt. Dupree. A fresh pair of beautiful eyes might do the trick.” She smiled. “But for now, I want to enjoy myself and I have to settle a this thing first, put a plan in motion. I will set a small meeting after I come back from the Scorpion. I want to go right now, you can stay here.” Alexandra lean toward him and gave him a kiss. “I love you!” And quickly walk out of the ready room for the transporter room. (Reply from none) (Posted by Laurence and Al) Stardate:2406.9.16 (The Scorpion – Transporter Room – CO Drake & CO Lowell – 1005) Alexandra materialized on the transporter padd of the Scorpion. She was welcomed on board by Drake who had a smile on his face. She walked down. “It's been a while since we really talk so I decided since you are reluctant to talk on board the Cochrane, you might be more comfortable here.” “Lets go somewhere it would be easier to talk than the transporter room.” Drake took her hand and lead her out. “I have wondered while on our trip back here the irony of the situations we have here now. You marrying Tahl and I Rose.” He started saying as they moved toward Ten Forward, “I spent all of my time after I lost you looking for you and nothing really else. Then when I find you I am marrying someone else. I wanted to talk to you, but, it did not seem appropriate on the Cochrane when Rose could hear us.” Alexandra was a bit intrigued. “I felt a bit the same with Tahl there. I know that he understand there was and is something between us, but still. He was a bit reluctant to let me go on board your ship.” (Scorpion – Ten Forward – 1005) “So, what is on your mind?” Alexandra smiled to him and look around, the room was empty. “Lets sit down, want anything from the replicator?” Drake asked as he headed in that direction. “I don't need anything. Thank you.” They sat at a table near a window, she could see the Cochrane there, it look much better since the ninites repair and restored the hull. She return her gaze to Drake. Drake returned after getting some Green tea and sat down across from her. It was different now, use to be he would sit next to her, but, things had changed for both of them. “I really don’t know where to start, You know that I want the best for you and Tahl. I know that Tahl and I had a long talk on our way back here and he seems to be at ease now with our.. Uh .. Closeness. I also think that Rose has come to accept it and knows that I am with her now.” Drake knew there were so many things that he could say, but, they just did not have the time to take it to everyone of them. “I want also to again tell you how sorry I am that what I thought was right back then, caused the death of our son.” He had to say that as it had been on his mind a lot during the trip at what he would look like today. “I admit that... are son was a lot on my mind. The day I felt him, is the day he died and it's hard to pass. I wish I had time to go see where I choose to bury him. I didn't since it happen. It wasn't your fault or mine, even if I feel guilty not to have put the pieces together. Did you know that after you have disappeared, I came back to Risa and I stay there for a month... hoping that you would come back. When you didn't, I went back to earth, and after Vulcan.” Alexandra look at the Cochrane, she couldn't look at Drake because she knew she would cry, but it felt good to say what she had lock up in herself for so long. “Yes I know you came to Risa as I was told that you had just left on an expedition of some sort to some remote planet. I headed toward that planet only to find that I had been given false information and by the time I had returned to earth you were gone.” Drake dropped his eyes as he saw that it was hard for her to look at him and he understood as they threatened him also. “While on our trip I spent a lot of time in our research lab trying to put something together with the help of the ship. It came out better than I had thought it would and the ship says that it is approximately 92.3 probable.” He had used the DNA from himself and Alex with the DNA from her parents to construct a possible likeness of their son had he been able to grow. He did not know if telling her would hurt her or not and in all likelihood would, but, he had to. He thought that maybe some of the hurt might go away or maybe it wouldn't. For him it did. Alexandra looked at him. “What did you do?” She realized that her voice was betraying her emotions but didn't care. Drake was a bit hesitant now to tell her when seeing her a bit more emotional, but, he had already started and could not stop. “I had to know, Alex.....” Was all he could say as he stood up and offered his hand to her. He took her hand and lead her out of Ten Forward, noticing that she was very reluctant to go, but, knew that she had to also. They both headed to the research lab in silence. (Scorpion – Research Lab – 1020) Alexandra wasn't sure where Drake was going with this but part of her wanted to know, it was stronger then herself. When they arrive she stop for a moment, hesitant but continued with Drake. She couldn't speak, to many things were running in her head at the moment. Drake thought for a moment as he looked over his clinical research lab and felt that this was just not the place for this. He moved to the console and started to press many buttons. After a few minutes and he knew that Alex was getting impatient he turned to her. “This is just not the right place for this, I am sorry. Let’s us move to the holodeck where it would be easier.” He said again taking her hand and she again reluctantly, more this time, following. (Scorpian - Holodeck - 1030) They entered the holodeck and Drake had already set up the background setting of an earth dwelling. It looked exactly like what they would have or possibly had been in at one time. “Now sit in this chair and I will show you.” He said nervously. “You better hurry, because I'm getting really nervous at this moment.” She sat yet didn't feel comfortable, she didn't know what to expect. As they watched a young lad about ten years of age came running in as if he had been outside playing with the other kids. He was about to run past them and into the other part of the house when Drake stopped him. “Michael, and what do you do when your mother is here?” Drake said Michael stopped and turned, “I am sorry father” he walked back to Alex and gave her a big hug, “I love you mom.” Drake watched as the face of Alex changed many times as Michael hugged her. “My wedding gift to you,,,,,, If you want it.” Drake could feel a tear running down his cheek as he watched. “Mommy I hit a home run in school today.” Michael said with a lot of exuberance. Alexandra stun when she heard the boy call Drake dad, and even more when the boy call her mom and gave her a hug. She put her arms around him to after making back away and caress his face. She was crying like she never cried before. She could see herself into that boy and also Drake too. “Michael that's wonderful sweetheart! ” She whispered, she couldn't stop crying. “I'm... proude of you.” She caressed his face, and hug him again but then it was hurting to much. She let go of the boy and ran outside the holodeck. The pain in her stomach, her heart made her crumbled in the hall way near the holodeck door. Drake looked at Michael, “Mommy has been through a lot today son, she will be alright.” “I know Dad, she has a lot to do being the captain of a starship.” Michael replied. Drake wondered where the boy had gotten that as he had not programed it in. He knelt down and hugged Michael as he spoke the words once again, “computer end program” and the room reverted back to an empty holodeck. Wiping his eyes and standing up he left the room to attend to Alex. (Reply from none) (Posted by Laurence & Frank) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane - SFI office - StratOps/SFI- Commander Tahlmari/Lt. Dupree - 10:30) Tahl had wandered around for a while trying to figure what to do with himself. Then some of Alex's comments began to sink in. Some thing was going on,and he wanted to know what. There was more and he was certain that this SFI officer, Dupree knew more than he did. What was Alex's father doing with Cardassians in the first place? Who would sen her such evidence and for what purpose. He knew that Dupree was going to do something with this, and he wanted to know what. And if he could help. He had planned to just barge in and demand to know what Dupree knew, and what her plans were. As he walked he calmed down and relaxed. He'd been gone for two months and he wasn't sure how Dupree would take that. So stopped at the doorway and hit the chime. Shy'na heard the door chime and put away some of the things that she had been working on since the meeting, things she wanted to know about the data that Alex had received. There were things in there that she was sure that Alex did not know of or only suspected. "Enter" She said as she finished putting away her things, then standing as she saw it ws the StratOps Commander Tahl. "Sir what can I do for you?" She asked. Tahl looked over at the Lt. and nodded to her. He remembered the brief initial encounter in which they flirted, quite outstandingly aswell, with each other. She was quite a vision of green skin and sensuality. He could understand how she could go far with SFI. "Lt. Dupree," he moved over to her desk, relizing that she had been putting something away, "I was hoping to speak with you about this situation with Captain Lowell's father." Shy'na put on her SFI face as she looked at the commander, "Please call me Shy'na if you want. And what would you like to know commander?" Tahl sat down in the seat across from her. "To be honest, Shy'na, I want to know whatever you know. I know that you are going on some mission to find out what this is all about. I'd like to help any way I can. But I can only help if I have all the information. So I'd like to know what you know." Shy'na did not know if she could rely on the commander and her training in SFI told her not to trust anyone other than herself. If she was to tell him what she knew he could use it against her if he was not what he puts out to be. He could hamper her in her investigations but if his love for Alex was true then any help he could give to her would be helpful. She had sat back down and then leaned into her seat listening to him then thought for a minute before answering. "Commander, what would you think of an agent that would divulge what they knew of their mission to someone that they really have not known?" So they were back to formalities. This back pedaling really brought to Tahl that there was a lot more going on here than he first suspected. "Lt," Tah said, "I know enough about SFI and your tactics and training to know that you have already formed an opinion of me. The question you have to ask yourself is, do you trust that opinion. I understand that I am not a known factor to you, but I can only assure you that I am motivated by purely selfish reasons. I love Alex and I want to help her." Shy'na listened to him and from what Alex had said about him came to mind. It would seem that Alex trusted this person with her very soul. It was in the reports and from what she had found out from her investigations that they had went through something very intimate in one of their missions that they had a connection of somewhat. It was like those exhibited by Betazeds and their Imzadis. She could also feel the intensity in what he had said to her. "Yes Commander, you are right, I have investigated you before you ever came back. I also have investigate Alex and your tie together." She confessed to him as she brought out a small object and set it on the table. She turned it on and it glowed green, looking at the commander she knew he understood what it was. "Ok commander we can talk now. Yes I have more information than even Alex knows of, but, not so sure about the one called Drake." She announced to him, "there is someone on this ship that should not be here." ~What else is new?~ Tahl thought. "That is a problem we've been facing lately." Not the answer she was looking for to bolster her faith in him but she continued on. "The Data disc that Alex has, indeed does show that it is her father. What I don't know is if she knows that it was done after the encounter with the casino. It also shows that the people in the background are of a guild of hunters of the delta quadrant that have a real bad reputation to get the person or persons that they go after." She looked at him to see his reaction to what she had said so far. Tahl nodded. "We've had run ins with them before. A certain Mr. Black. As far as I can tell, they have already had a go at Alex. it probably hasn't set well with them, to find out she's still alive." He sat back in the chair. "I didn't get a long look at the data," he continued, "but it appeared to me to be long before the casino incident." "No commander is was done afterward," Shy'na touched a spot on her desk and a machine rose out of it. It had a view screen on it and the data disk had already been planted in it and was showing what normal disk readers could not, the date it was done. It clearly showed that it was done after the date of the report that Alex made of the incident. Tahl leaned forward and looked intently at the numbers across the screen. "What the hell would he be doing there now?" He said it more to himself than to Dupree. "Commander, what you don't understand is that with them sending this disk to her, it says she is marked. They know not only who she is, where she is but how to get to her whenever they want to." She could not stress it hard enough for him to realize just how much trouble that Alex and subsequently the Cochrane or any ship she was on was. "They are also saying that there was something that her father did that caused them to be after him." She did not know if she should say the following but she decided that since the commander was so close to Alex he had to know so he could protect her. "Commander, one thing you should also know about them, when they hire to take someone out, they do, but, they do even more, they take the entire family out. That is what they are known for, and will succeed unless the one that hired them is taken out first. That is the only way to stop the contract, they can not be bought once they accept a contract in any other way." Tahl realized that his way of making things light was not appropriate for this situation. "Lt, I do understand the seriousness of the situation. Does this mean you're certain who hired them?" "Well commander I do have some good choices but for sure no I am not. The number one person is that Black fellow that was suppose to be dead that isnt and then maybe some of his personnel or bosses. I take from my research, this crew took over the casino that he had been running and that was a major center for illegal operations." She looked for a confirmation from the commander and continued. "The one thing I have come to a conclusion about is that this is not about that or at least not the major part. Maybe a small part but mostly more of what her father has done. If Drake had received a similar threat then the casino would have been the pivotal part but he hasn't. So the conclusion still stays the same, Alex's father did something that someone wants him and his dead for." "And her aswell," Tahl added. "I guess I'm going to have to keep a close eye on that girl." He looked at Dupree for a second. "So what can I do to help? I have resources that I can tap. They may not be SFI resources, but they're quite reliable." "Not really much where I am going but you do need to keep an eye out on Alex. Now if you receive a message from me no matter what it says or how off the wall it seems, look for the words Burning River in it. If you see that it means that I am in trouble and that I might need help soon. A message would soon follow it of where I will be at." Shy'na looked at the screen of the data disk and saw something that she had missed in the first few diagnosis of the disk, it was two parts. This gave her new information, they had not caught up with him yet. "Commander look at this, there are two dates. Here and here, they tried to remove one but missed one. That means that there were two recordings put together to be one. That means that what they wanted her to believe is not correct, they have not caught up with her father yet." She pointed to what she was talking about. "Burning River," Tahl nodded, "got it. I appreciate what you're doing for Alex. Drake already knows that if he needs me I'll be there. Now you do too." "Yes I do and when I can I will release Drake so he will not gain any new enemies and it might be him to bring the message. If that happens he will need your help." Shy'na finished and saw the item start flickering yellow and nodded to the commander. Tahl had seen one of the listening sensors before and realized that their conversation was now being monitored. "So Commander," Dupree said, "as you see you are not high enough security rating for me to divulge my mission or any missions I have had to you. If you don't feel I have the right, call my superior Admiral LoDona. So now if you don't mind please leave." She winked at him as she stood. "You can rest assured," Tahl shot back the look and shook her hand, "I will take this up with the appropriate officials. Good day Lt." At that Tahl turned and headed out the door. (reply none) (posted by Al Muir) Stardate:2406.9.16 (The Scorpion – Outside Holodeck – CO Drake & CO Lowell – 1040) Drake knelt down beside Alex and brought her into his arms and rocked with her as she let out all the years of hurt that he had done to her. “I didn't know it would hurt so much... seeing him, holding him.” She whispered. “He looks so good, so happy... I wish, I wish.” She continued to cry. Drake continued to hold her and listening to her, “I thought that for us to let go or at least get by it, I had to do this. I have had a lot of good time with him since I let the program run, he has a lot of you in him and your parents. I did not have anything of my parents to include so I just used me.” Drake pulled her head up slowly to look into her eyes, “he is yours if you want, my love to you.” “I spend a decade imagining him. Wondering how he would be like. He as your eyes did you see, and that smile. I can feel my anger for Black, I can touch it... he took him away from us.” Alexandra buried her face in Drake shoulder, she was shaking. “Were you able to get over are lost... maybe I spend to much time suppressing it... I don't know if I can say goodbye to him.” ~were you able to get over our loss~ she had asked and it ran over and over in his mind. The truth of the matter was no he had not gotten over their loss. It was the driving force behind what he had done, but, after completing it, it somehow did ease the pain to see him there and be able to talk to him, to see what he did when the program was running. With a tear running down his cheek, he looked down into her hair as she had her face buried into his shoulder, "get over?" he echoed her question, "no, not until I finished this, did I come to learn to accept it." He whispered. "I will tell you that I did not tell him or put anything in the program about you. But, he knows you and all of you, now and before." He continued to whisper to her, "I think it is the ship that has endowed him of that knowledge, how I do not know." "If you want, the program is yours as a wedding gift to you. A sort of healing it can bring as it has me. You will never get over what has been done, but, this will help you accept it." Drake whispered as she continued to cry out her pain. “Drake, take me to your quarters... I don't want anyone seeing me like this.” She lift her face to him, she could see that this child that was never born was the link between them intertwined with all the memories they share of each other. “I can't go back on the Cochrane with my eyes all puffy, Tahl will probably figure that something happen. Does Rose know about this? How about Tahl, does he too?” Drake stood pulling her up to him, "No, no one knows of it except some of my crew that helped me." They walked arm in arm toward his quarters and he thought that it probably would be a good idea for them to let them know. "Alex, we should let them know, now that you know it will come out. If Rose does not catch it, Tahl will with your connection with him." (Scorpian - Drake’s Quarters – 1059) They walked into his quarters having not seen anyone on the way there. "Go in there and wash your face." Drake said indicating the bathroom. "Then we can continue if you want." Alexandra said nothing and just went to the bathroom, one look in the mirror she could see the disaster. Her eyes were red and puffy now. She run the cold water and splash her face before take a small hand towel, wet it and come back. Once she sat down, she put it over her eyes to get the red and swelling down. “I barely slept 5 hrs... I'm sure he will know that something happen just by one look. We need to concentrate on other stuff... Actually, I need too.” She sigh and took off the towel. “You didn't know that I could get this angry do you?” Drake watched her and waited for her to finish then looking into her beautiful, even red and swollen eyes, he answered her. “My Lady, nothing surprises me about you any longer.” He smiled then sat down. “Ok, what other stuff do we need to talk about?” “You keep surprising me dough. I wonder if you had finished the repairs on the station and needed maybe medical supplies.” She gave him a little smile. Drake laughed a little at the way she changed the subject so easily. “My Lady, the repairs on the station are done and I have acquired supply lines for many things, but, your offer is most generous.” “You're welcome. Did you find anything useful in the database of the station? I keep thinking about that since a month or so ago.” Drake got up and started to pace the room slowly looking at the different pictures and weapons he had ornamentally decorated his walls with. He did not know how much he should tell her as he was still in the process of accomplishing certain things and she might hamper them. “Well, to tell you the truth, my people are still trying to break into certain areas of the computer without destroying the information there. What we have learned is not of much importance right now.” “A tone of information that we can't get too... do you have a ships manifests that cross this station?” Her investigation flair was starting to come alive a little. Drake started to feel that she was interrogating him and started to feel a bit irritated. “What are you fishing for, Captain?” he said as he stopped right in front of her and stared down at her as a captain not a friend. Alexandra remain calm, and wonder why he was reacting this way. “I'm trying to see who in the federation had contact with this station, Who in are fleet was there. Who ever it might be, they are probably of Deonitz gang.” She look at him straight in the eyes. “I have a crew to protect, just like you have one.” Drake settled down once he knew what it was she was searching for. He then sat down beside her more relaxed again, “Alex, we have found traces of someone being mentioned that was behind what we already know, but, so far have not found the name. I believe it is in the portion that they have yet to open up and I want them to do it slowly so as not to destroy the information.” Shaking his head and standing up frustration setting in on him, “They have found so many traps that would have destroyed the information that I cant push them. I want that information as much as you do as it would save not just lives from the federation but my own people. We have already uncovered several plots on ways to take back the station or destroy it if it fell into the wrong hands, I am afraid that we will find more or miss something and not only the info but the station would be destroyed.” “I understand believe me. Take all the time, I'm not going to push you... and how about the station manifests... Is anything interesting turning up?” “Nothing really other than things that would be illegal to the federation, but, nothing worth mentioning here, for now. Nothing that would be considered part of anything against us or our group.” Drake said sighing, but, knew that anything small could end up part of the larger scheme and he was looking for those also. “Well, he wouldn't use a federation ship that is sure. I guess we just need to be patient.” She pass her arm around his waist and put her head on his shoulder. “I'm starting to feel better, how are my eyes? Are they still red?” Drake had not let himself the luxury of feeling her like this in a long time, so, he pushed her back a bit for two reasons, one to look into her eyes to see what they looked like and two so he will not get use to it. Then he thought that at least he will be friends with her and Tahl, so, friends do hug like that and he pulled her back to him to give her a friendly hug. “They are better, but, knowing Tahl he will know you been crying as you seem to do that every time you come on my ship to visit me without him.” The last he said with a chuckle. “I do think that he is really good for you, my Alex. You will always be my Alex even though we marry different people. Also, sorry to bring up the subject again, but, do you want the program of our son?” Alexandra paused. “Yes, I would like too... maybe I will be able eventually to give him the goodbye he deserved. I seem to do a lot of crying with you. This subject just gets into the root of me, so deep too. My father always said that I was a spitfire... he called me Spitfire.” She turn a little too look at him. “Drake, recently I have discover something very disturbing. The only one who knows is Lt. Dupree, are SFI agent.” (Reply from none) (Posted by Laurence & Frank) Stardate:2406.9.16 (The Scorpion – Drake's Quaters – CO Drake & CO Lowell – 1115) Alexandra paused. “Yes, I would like too... maybe I will be able eventually to give him the goodbye he deserved. I seem to do a lot of crying with you. This subject just gets into the root of me, so deep too. My father always said that I was a spitfire... he called me Spitfire.” She turn a little too look at him. “Drake, recently I have discover something very disturbing. The only one who knows is Lt. Dupree, are SFI agent.” Drake looked at Alex and she seemed to be very serious about what she was saying. He wondered what in the world would a SFI Agent be doing having information that would disturb her. All that he could think of was more about Black or Blackford or even Doenitz that might affect either her or the squadron or both. "Alex what is it that would make you keep it from Tahl?" He asked solemnly. “Tahl just arrived and well...” She blush a little. “We didn't have time. To get to the story, a couple of weeks ago, I received a box, it contained 2 things... One was a padd, and the other one is a Kashra box, Cardassian artifact. In this padd there was one thing on only... a short recording about 5 minutes long, sound included. I couldn't believe it when I saw it and heard it... My father was there, I saw him, his face, his eyes, and I recognized his voice. I ask Lt. Dupree to analyze this recording and the voice print. I kept a record of DNA and voice imprint in my private files and she checked it after I did... The computer identify the voice at 98% accurate as the one of Michael Lowell. I made a copy of this file for you... because I want you to identify someone else in there... he seem to be familiar to me but he might mean more to you.” Drake listened to Alex while she explained what was bothering her. She had put a chip in the viewer where he could hear and see what she was talking about. Something in it made his skin crawl as he looked and listened. “Let me check something” Drake replied as he walked over to his console. He had a bad feeling about what he was hearing and seeing. After a few seconds he confirmed what he did not want to see. He turned to look back at Alex with the bad news. “Well, I got some good news and some bad news, which you want first.” He said to her. “The good one first, the bad after.” the truth was she didn't know if the other way around was good either but the important thing is that she knew. “Ok, well, the good news first,” Drake scratched his head before continuing not really knowing what he thought was good news was or not. “I know where this was recorded, he was or is in the Delta Quadrant, to be exact it was on Sikaris III. I had a reason to be there while I was looking for you.” Drake swallowed while getting ready to let her know the other part. “You see that guy there?” He said as he pointed to someone in the back. “That is Black in disguise.” He blurted it out as he thought it was the only way. Drake had stopped there but there was more he needed to tell her. He had not said that the attire that Black was in was one of a delta hunter. “Sikaris III, Black there... he was observing my father. That's bad... “ Alexandra look at Drake, he had more on his mind. “What else?” “Ah you sure you want to hear this?” Drake asked. “If that man is my father and Black is there... yes, I want to know.” That was probably the point she was sure of. Drake knew it was not going to be easy for Alex to hear this, but, he continued. “Come here,” He said as he went back to the console, “Look,” He brought the picture of Black in closer so they could see it better, then, he inlaid another picture of someone that he had taken a picture of a while back. “You see how the both of them are wearing the same outfits?” He asked her and she looked hard at them both, “that is the outfit of One of the Delta Hunters. An elite group of bounty hunters in the Delta quadrant that have a reputation of always getting what they go after.” “I guess I know what to do know.” Alexandra step away from the screen and went to look at the stars. “Who made this recording? Did I do something there? I don't remember. Why were you searching me there Drake.” “I had some information that there was a Lowell in the area and I had some artifact to pick up there, so, I thought I would head there to see if it was you, but, found out it wasn't so I just picked up the artifact.” Drake said as he stood up to walk over to where she stood to look out at the stars also. “What are you going to do now?” “Obviously, I can't go, it was just be too dangerous and also fabulously stupid on my part. This has to be done right. I will use the only card I have, Lt. Shy'na Dupree.” Drake thought about what she said, then, shook his head in agreement, “Yes, she is an SFI Agent trained in the arts of covert movement and stealth. I think she would be your best bet and also she would be able to follow his tracks easier if he is not where this was taken.” “What troubles me the most... is the very existence of this recording. I don't know if I like it or not.” She turn to look at Drake. “I might need your help in this... not you personally because he can recognize you. Someone you can trust and that Black doesn't know.” Drake thought for a few minutes trying to come up with someone that Black would not recognize. “I have someone,” He was thinking of his FO as Black had never saw him as he has stayed on the Scorpian to ensure that Drake was picked up from each of his little missions, “What do you have in mind?” “First, we have are weddings... also, I want to make sure that no one is figuring that I know something about Black or my father... If it was to provoke something in me, I don't want who ever to think that. So, both of us we will have to be patient and wait for a few days... enough time for a good honeymoon. During those days, Shy'na will get ready, and when you will leave you will have her on board your ship, with her special runnabout.” Drake smiled a bit thinking of the weddings and the honeymoon afterwards, but, then he came back to reality. "We have to tell Rose and Tahl at least. They will figure something out and if we don’t tell them, they may make something out of it. Rose will want to know why I am heading out so soon." Drake looked at Alex, "I have already told her that I would be leaving after a while, but, I did not tell her why and I cant tell you why either. This would fit right in line with me leaving for what I have to do." Drake could see the question in Alex’s eyes and knew that she would for sure push him on it. "Ok I have to go pick someone up and deliver them somewhere, please don’t ask anything more." "I will go and tell my people to make sure that we have room for Shy’na’s runabout. We will discreetly load it when no one is looking." Drake finished. “I know, but we can also rush this, the Cochrane has to map and analyze a nebula, all of this will take around 3 days. Can you wait this long for what you have to do? It's also a nice figure for a honeymoon. Also, I hope your men can behave, you can invite some here... they are welcome. Shy'na could mingle in them and go with and be already on board the Scorpion without lifting suspicion. Has to explain to Tahl and Rose...” Alexandra paused. “Yes, we will have to tell them, I know they can keep this a secret.” She smiled. “I'm sorry to dump this on you Drake... but knowing for sure that Black is concern, I thought you needed to know.” "Yes, I can wait a week before I have to go." Drake acknowledged that he did not have to rush off after the wedding. "Alex, my men are hand picked and yes they can behave themselves when they have to. It would be a way to get them on and be able to secure the ship at the same time." Drake took Alex’s hand and put a data disc in it. "Yes I did need to know and we will take care of this together." Alexandra look at the disk and put it in her pocket. “We must concentrate on the wedding and have fun. Also, I have to go back or my First Officer will form a search party. I will see you later.” She smiled. “How are my eyes? Are they still red?” "pink" Drake answered her as they left his quarters heading for the transporter room. “It will have to do!” (Reply from none) (Posted by Laurenc & Frank) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Transporter Room – CO Captain Lowell – 1130) Alexandra materialized on the transporter padd and gave a positive head sign to the transporter chief. “Send a message to the bridge that I am back. I will be in my quarters and soon go to the bridge. I need to think.” “Sending the message right now Sir!” “Thank you!” Alexandra left the transporter room and slowly made her way to the turbolift. “CO private quarters please.” (USS Cochrane – CO and XO private quarters – 1135) The turbolift moved right away. She didn't know how she made to the door but she was there and had walked through. She didn't feel the presence of Tahl, so for now went to the bedroom, and just let herself fall on it. She search her pocket and took out the disk... Her son was in this, she didn't know when she would have the strength to play it, but it was there. She put in in her night stand and lay back on the bed looking at the ceiling. She closed her eyes and took 3 deep slow breath to calm herself. ~Need to focus here, obviously, certain members of the crew need to know what is going on. Is my father alive? Who send this recording? How did they know I was here? Am I watch? Do I have a spy on board, and who could it be? I cross so many people day in and day out.~ Alexandra raise herself and sat on the edge of the bed. ~The dice are thrown, my decision is made... yet those questions are in the back of my mind. Will Lieutenant Dupree find the answers? At least, she will not be alone.~ Alexandra got up, readjusted her uniform and walk out of her quarters and took the turbolift again. “Bridge!” (USS Cochrane – Ready Room – 1137) Alexandra arrived on the bridge, crossed it and went straight to her office. She push a few keys on her console and waited to push the last key on a secure channel. ~It's a dangerous mission.~ She thought, but she knew better, it was the price and she push the last key. “Lt. Dupree... you remember the subject we have talk about, it's a go! Instructions will follow at the meeting set up to 1145.” (Reply from Dupree... IYW) Alexandra close the channel. It was 1140. “Computer send the following message, at 1145, I would like to see in the conference lounge, Comdr. B'Lanor, Comdr. Tahlmari, Lt. Dupree, Lt. Cantarzini, Lt. Tarz, and no word about it please. End message and send.” [Message send] Alexandra got up, and walk out to the bridge, cross it and went to the Ready room. (Reply from Dupree, Tahlmari, B'Lanor, Tarz, anyone) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Ready Room – CO Captain Lowell - 1335) Alexandra who was resting in her office, trying to medicate and relax felt the temperature rise. She got up wondering and asked the computer. “Computer was is the temperature?” She open her tunic. [92 degrees and decreasing now] “What is going on?” Alexandra got up and went to the bridge. (USS Cochrane – Bridge – 1337) Alexandra cut Ensign Capps before he left the bridge via the turbolift. “Ensign Capps, wait, come back here... what happen?” (Reply from Capps) “Good, show me the conduit!” (Reply from Capps, anyone) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Conference Lounge – CO Captain Lowell - 1145) Alexandra had been waiting for five minutes, she knew that this meeting was short noticed but there wasn't any choice. Hall arrived first, he said nothing has he look at her. A face so alien and yet so close. “You know what to do Hall.” “Secure this room... I have question... Are you sure?” “Sure, is like a line a spider has weaved blowing in the wind. A very strong one and it breaks. I can't be sure of anything, but the facts in front of me and my instinct, those are the only 2 things I can trust. Now go.” Alexandra saw Tahl coming in but he was followed by Rose and B'Lanor. So they couldn't talk. The others missing, Dupree, Tarz arrived together. “Good... sorry for this short notice meeting, but something has come up and I have to talk to you about it. Nothing of this should leave this room, it's highly important and a ship security matter.” Alexandra punch a few keys on a console beside her and directed everyone's attention to it. “Everyone, please have a look at this recording and I will answer all your questions after some small explanation. The recording play on. Alex's father talking to a merchant, and also Mister Black in disguised behind. Some wonder what was so strange in that recording, some didn't. Tahl was looking at her the entire time of the recording, Alexandra gave him a smile to reassure him. Once the recording ended, she got up and recall 2 images that she made a split screen. “The man on the left, the computer identify him as... my father... Michael Lowell, 98% accurate to be exact. The man on the right, Captain Drake identified him has Mister Black that we have met on the Casino Royale some months ago.” She paused and got up taking a deep breath as she look at the bay window. (Reply from anyone) Alexandra expected that question. “A couple of weeks ago, I received a box, it contained 2 things... One was a padd, and the other one is a Kashra box, Cardassian artifact. In this padd there was one thing on only... a short recording about 5 minutes long. This lift a lot more questions then answers, questions which only one person knew before this morning. Lt. Dupree.” (Reply from anyone) “I had too, someone having access to the bridge and there for what is going on there and with me is watching. This, obviously, is to make me react... and I didn't, not the way maybe he, she or they expected me to do. Also yes... I took a decision and a way of action.” “Lt. Dupree and Lt. Tarz are going to leave on a special mission. I know Black, he is highly dangerous, and a wanted man, so he isn't to be trusted for one micro second.” She look at Tarz. “You are free to decline Tarz, it's a dangerous mission.” (Reply from Tarz) “Good... You will leave with Lt. Dupree and there will be also the first officer of the Scorpion that will come with you. The orders and to find who made or did this recording, find the reason why. Also to have an identification of who the computer has identify has my father. I have given a copy of my files to Lt. Dupree, including a DNA sample for identification purposes.” (Reply from anyone) “This isn't a matter to be discussed but to be analyzed and investigated in secret. Any questions?” (Reply from Tarz, Dupree, B'Lanor, Tahl) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Conference Lounge – COUNS Lt. Cantarzini – 1145) Rose found it ode to have been called for a meeting. She wonder what was going on and was afraid that maybe the weeding would be postpone. She walked in at the same time as the First officer and Comdr. Tahlmari that was in front of them. “Wonder what is going on?” (Reply form anyone) “I hope it will not stop the wedding preparation.” (Reply from anyone) “I will feel better once my curiosity is satisfied.” She sat at her place and waited. Once everyone was there, the Captain started. The recording was creating a sense of foreboding, the 2 main individuals seem familiar to her. Once Alexandra explained, it all was clear. Michael Lowell and Black... that was the tension she perceived a few times in Alex the pass couple of weeks. Taking a decision will alleviate this anxiety. “This isn't a matter to be discussed but to be analysed and investigated in secret. Any questions?” “It's a lot of people to investigate... but I thought that you already done that.” Alexandra look at Rose. “I guess I missed something, and we might never know.” (Reply from anyone) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Conference Lounge – Lt. Tarz - 1145) Tarz listened to the briefing about the recording and the images of her father Michael Lowell. Attempting to figure out how a dead man was on a recording he let it slide for the time being. Listening Tarz was surprised at the impartiality that the Captain was maintaining. It was a great honour for any one to die in battle to resurrect him sneaking around like a Romulan lacked all honour. “Lt. Dupree and Lt. Tarz are going to leave on a special mission. I know Black, he is highly dangerous, and a wanted man, so he isn't to be trusted for one micro second.” She look at Tarz. “You are free to decline Tarz, it's a dangerous mission.” “I do not fear anything!” Tarz stated, after that Tarz began to run inside his mind trying to figure out what he would need to carry. He would no doubt be on the move a lot; therefore he would need to be compact. However a 6-foot Klingon was not exactly the most covert of creatures. However there might be honour found to locate and protect her father. As the meeting drew to an end Tarz moved over to the Captain. “Captain Lowell it has been my pleasure to serve with you, I know we will meet again some time,” Tarz stated extending his arm to shake hers. (Reply Lowell) On that Tarz turned and left the conference room and made his way towards his quarters he would be leaving for a conceivably long time. It would be a sad day to leave the ship however there was battles and sights worthy of songs out there. He was not going to leave others to sing of there victories they would be his. (Reply Lowell, Any) (Posted By Richard) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Conference Lounge – CO Captain Lowell - 1152) “This isn't a matter to be discussed but to be analyzed and investigated in secret. Any questions?” Rose look Alexandra in the eyes and ask. “The wedding... it will not be postponed right?” “That mission will not stop the wedding. There's no one who is going to stop us to have those weddings, I have and will make sure of that. The only thing I want you to do is to relax, take care of yourself and get ready... at 1530 hrs you are the one getting married and at 1630, it's going to be our.” She smiled to Tahl and glance at the ship time. “This meeting is over then.” Alexandra and Tahl remained behind, he was so silent yet his emotions were running from hight to low. When they were alone now. “Computer, lower the intensity of the light by half.” She said her eyes closed, when she opened them there was Tahl facing her. “Would it be to much to give me a really big hug.” (Reply from Tahl, anyone) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane - Conference Lounge - StratOps- Commander Tahlmari & CO Captain Lowell - 1154) Tahl had to smile when Rose asked about the Wedding. She was almost pleading. He knew that it was important to her, as his own wedding was important to himself. He had no wish to delay it. He was also pleased by Alex's reply. "This meeting is over then," Lowell said with an air of finality. Slowly everyone left. He could still see the counselor looking back in concern. Drake was going to be gone soon, and she wasn't let him leave single. He could see it in her demeanor, almost as if he could read her emotions. One way or another they were going to be married today. Then his mind began to wander to the mission Drake and Dupree were going on. What was going on here. He felt so out of the loop. He was still trying to reestablish himself here after his absence. He was suddenly brought out of his reverie by the noticeable dimming of the lights. He turned to face Alex. "Would it be to much to give me a really big hug?" she asked. A smile grew over his face, "I don't know. What's in it for me?" "A little appetizer before tonight. But I need a bit of comfort and calm and there's only one place." She smiled, a big smile. Tahl pulled Alex in tight and held her silently for a what seemed like an eternity. Slowly, he could feel their emotions entertwine. The sharing brought him comfort and sent the same comfort the her. It also increased his longing. Slowly he drew Alex's face closer to him for a kiss. Alexandra welcome the emotions in her just has she gave him all the love in her for him. It was wonderful and warm and she could feel that she wanted more, she was hungry but needed to keep under control. Tonight, they would be able to find each other more intimately. The kiss was the icing on the cake and she responded to it a bit more then she should have but ended it. "That is exactly what I needed. I love you so much... I would like to be tonight already." "Me too." Tahl said. "I can't believe that by tonight we're going to be married." He could feel the warmth of his love spread through him. He kissed her again. “It's dangerous to do that... when we are like this." She paused and look at him in the eyes. "I think I made the right decision, there's no other way.” "The right decision?" Tahl looked at her confused. “My father!” She rested her forehead on his chest and took a deep breath. “I don't want to think about it anymore... so from now on, no more of this.” "Not a problem m'love," Tahl said, knowing well the value of avoidance therapy. "There will be plenty of time to worry in our future. Today is for us, and the one thing neither of us need to worry about. Our love for each other." “Yes... that is all I need right now.” She gave him a kiss. “What did you cook up for Drake and Rose holo-honeymoon?” Tahl's mischievous smile grew across his face. “It's a little something I think he'll like. You'd probably like it too, but hey, you're not marrying him." He gave a little chuckle then went on. Pulling out a PADD he hit the run key and small simulation began to show on the screen. "I've created a little holo-adventure for them. Something exciting, but not too stressful on Rose.." He showed Alex the screen and she could see what appeared to be a 16th century sailing ship. It had three masts and at the top of the large center mast was a a black flack with the distinctive skull and cross bones. On the ship was what looked like the scurviest crew any man could ever muster together. There were crewmen hanging from the netting in the masts and doing various pirate ship activities. Waves from the ocean broke on the bow of the ship washing it with foam and mist. Tahl could almost smell the salt water as he showed it to Alex. "So what do you think. It's not just a setting, there's a whole adventure that goes along with it." “Make it really light the adventure, I think the action will probably be below in the captain's quarters. I like it too... one day you will have to bring me there.” She held the padd and smiled. “It's a little paradise, the sea air, the palms... it looks wonderful.” She look at Tahl. “I will not ask you about our holo-program, even if a really, really want to.” Tahl's smile grew from mischievous, to one of almost evil. "Well, I don't want to spoil any surprises, but let's just say that our honeymoon will be very unique." Then he added, "And we may need a little recovery time afterwards." Alexandra understood and inside was excited. “The only thing I need is you!” She paused and gave him a kiss, holding close to her. “I think we should get back to work.” She had a sad face, a bit exaggerated because she was to happy to be close to him. "Ah yes," Tahl said solemnly, all signs of his earlier playfulness gone,"work." He got up and followed Alex to the door. "One more thing captain," He spun Alex around and and held her tightly. He gave her one last, long, passionate kiss. "Just a little something to keep me in your mind while you're working." Alexandra loved the sensation of adrenaline running in her veins and the kiss. “There no fear of that Love.” (Reply from none) (Posted by Laurence and Al) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Discovery - Deck 1, Bridge - ASC\TAC Ensign(jg) Saran Darell - 1155) Saran was a guest onboard the Discovery. Captain gave him permission to stay on bridge all the time, so it was very good experience. It was Saran's first time that traveled on that fast ship. "Ensign, we are closing to the Cochrane." -said Captain of the Discovery And Saran took a deep breath and look at the main screen. It was Cochrane. And it was beautiful, ~So much lights~ Saran though, ~So many people.~ As much as he wanted to hide his emotions, he couldn't do it. He started to cry, a tears of happines. "Ensign, I think it would be good idea to let them know that you are here." -explained Captain "Ofcourse, sir!" -said Saran, and removed his tears from his face. Then he looked to the Captain and nodded with head. =^= Good day, Gentleman. This is the Discovery's Captain talking. I have your new Assistant Chief Tactical officier. I'll send him with a runabout. You should welcome him properly. He's a good man. Captain out. =^= "Thank you sir.

Since the events with Blackford he was feeling more tired no matter how much sleep he had. “The scans are coming back negative everything is fine Kara,” Ronald stated, Kara smiled and hopped off the bed. As she began to walk off she spoke again. “I guess its just my new project that has got me so fired up,” Kara stated winking, walking out of the room Ronald lowered himself onto the seat and sat down. Removing his glasses he rubbed the lenses to make them clean. Holding them up to the light he heard the voice again. “Ron ive told you several times you have to wear your glasses,” Ronald looked around the room. It was happening more regularly now, he was hearing the voices of his old family and friends long dead. Something still was not sitting right; he was feeling less and less like him. Ever since he had came out of cryostasis the world had seemed different to him. As he stood up he prepared a mild sedative to relax him a little and hopefully block the noises he was hearing. As the hiss of the hypospray faded into the distance he began to feel calmer. Placing everything in its right place Ronald unzipped his tunic a bit further down and then began to walk towards his quarters. His shift had only been extended by the arrival of Kara. It was Proberly due to the long shifts and the stress that had made Ron seem so tired. A good book and a sleep would solve all his problems. As he walked he rubbed the back of his neck his neck was starting to feel really sore it was no doubt due to stress. As he straightened his head to continue walking an officer bumped into him. “Excuse me Doctor Weasley,” Ronald paused for a moment the voice sounded really familiar. The person had already begun to move off in some hurry, following Ronald tried to remain as quite as possible. The officer entered engineering and began to move towards the environmental controls. (USS Cochrane – Engineering – ACMO – Dr Ronald Weasley – 13:00) Ronald watched from behind the engineering supplies as the officer began to rig up a device to the environmental controls. As the man began to churner to himself Ronald tapped his com badge. “Weasley to security,” The com badge did not activate it was obvious that something was interfering with it. Ron looked back the direction the man had been he was no gone. Pausing for a moment Ronald attempted to ascertain where he had gone. Presuming he had moved on he had to find out what the man had done. Moving quietly he reached the area the man had been working as he began to read from the panel he felt the needle pierce his skin. Spinning around he looked into the eyes of the man. “YOU!” Ronald got out as he began to sway, the needle was still embedded into his neck as he removed it and threw it to the ground. As the glass shattered over the floor, Ronald’s vision began to move all over the place as the blur of a man kicked him to the ground and began to speak. “The first stage of the intelligent virus was administered to you when you were in stasis. This is the second part; it is deemed that you are too much of a threat. In your mind you have locked secretes that cannot come out,” The voice was cold and cruel. Ronald began to shake; his body was beginning to slip away from him. He knew the effects of this, he had seen it used before many years ago when he worked with Blackford. The Intelligent virus or Intel Virus version 2 was administered in two sections 2 months apart. The first hunts down the brain tissue that controls the conscious and subconscious mind. Once that is in place the second section is introduced. This immediately attacks the marked sections and leaves the person a jabbering wreck with no grasp on reality. “Earl why Me?” Ronald stated shaking beginning to cry from the pain, he already knew the effect he had seen it. He did not want to go out like this. “You know too much, the project must continue and you threaten that project. Im sorry old friend,” On that Earl stood and began to walk away, the cloaked ship would not have been detected his escape was certain and even if the Crew got the environmental controls on line Black would finish his objective. (USS Cochrane – Medical isolation – Doctor Charles Furlong – 15:00) “Patient 403257, Weasley R. Doctor Weasley has suffered a mass mental break down leaving the man with no sense of reality. He continues to pose a threat to himself and others. Therefore it is my continued assessment that sectioning is the only course that must be followed. Weasley might at some time recover from this break down however it is highly improbable. Chances are Doctor Weasley will not return to us in mind or Body. It is my recommendation that as soon as possible Ronald is transferred to Geneva for extended medical care. Assessment by Doctor Charles Furlong, USS Cochrane,” Charles looked thought the observation whole once more at the ex CMO of the Cochrane huddled in the corner in a straight jacket. His glasses removed and hair cut off. All that was left of the prideful man was a screaming lunatic, as Charles was about to shut the observation hold Ronald pushed his face up against it. As Ronald’s stinking breath came through the hole he whispered. “They’re coming,” On that he began to look scared again and run to the centre of the room. “THEY ARE ALWAYS WATCHING US WAITING! ALWAYS WATCHING ALWAYS,” He screamed at the top of his lungs. Charles closed the porthole as the doctor continued to scream at the top of his lungs. “Such a shame,” Charles continued down the corridor and then at the end turned out the lights. For however long it was to last Doctor Ronald Weasley, Lieutenant USS Cochrane would only see a padded cell.

He was sitting in his comfortable chair that sat behind his new desk. Calvin being the Third Officer of the ship did contain little office work but now that he promoted to second officer there was even more work to do now. Calvin looked at the 8 to 12 differnet PADDs that were lying on his desk including the one that was right infront of him. He picked up PADD number one and looked at the title on top. It read 2O to do list. When Calvin read the title he made a small laugh under his breath. ~Well, Yeah look at all the PADDs.~ So Calvin made his was to the next PADD and read the title. -third watch duty list-. Calvin rememebered some of his crewmembers on his shift requested leave and with the Captain reducing the shift Calvin needed to go over a new duty list anyways. (USS Cochrane - 2O Office - 1315) After Calvin finished with the list that would start immediatly he kept moving toward the end of all the PADDs. He looked at the PADD, but before he read it he noticed that it was getting hot in the room. "Computer what is the Temperture" [78 degrees] the computer came back. "Is the Rate increasing" [affirmitive] "why" [unknown] "Is the temperature increasing shipwide?" [affirmitive] "What is the hottest room" [Bridge at 82 degrees] As soon as Calvin stood up from his desk and started to walk through his door to the Bridge a familiar voice called for him. "Already on my way, sir" (USS Cochrane - Bridge - 1330) Calvin walked on to the Bridge and first walked to the person in charge which was to no surprise was the first officer. He walked up to his commanding officer. "How long ago did you notice the temperature rising, sir?" (reply Fugan, I know your busy so i will keep it short) "Very well, I will assemble a team and try to figure this out." By then Calvin looked around the room and noticed the sweat pouring off of the different officers on the bridge. "We are attempting to solve the problem." Ensign Capps stepped up to the Ops Console", where a new Ensign to this shift was seating. "Ensign Mitchell, do you have anything exclusive to report at this time." "No Sir.

"I have found a burned conduit in the front of the bridge. On the right side of the view screen. " Calvin made his way over toward the viewscreen with a one man crew which took the panel off. It was simple enough. A conduit not burned but cut or maybe it was just a accident. Calvin connected it back through and the temperture on the ship started to decrease. "Well i guess that is finished with." Sorry for any inconvience. Calvin made his way back to his office to see if he could tell if the conduit was cut or an accident. (reply fugan and Lowell.

The flower arrangements had been sent to Patricia along with the cake. The cake was a four tier one signifying the four of them getting married and he thought it was a perfect touch. He walked in the room and found no one, "Rose, Hun where are you my pretty?" he yelled out in a teasing tone. "Bathroom, coming out in a minute." She smiled a bit excited but she took a deep breath and put on her bathrobe. "I just took a bath!" "Hmm a bath" he said seductively where she could hear him as he started to the bathroom. "Maybe I should come and help you my Love." He chuckled to himself not wanting her to hear him do that as he jiggled the door. At the same time, she open the door. "Too late Sweety... I have finished and going to bed... need a nap before are wedding." Drake stepped back as Rose exited the room with him looking like she just killed his pet iguana. His little surprise backfired on him and he stood there with egg on his face. But, to his credit and as always he recovered quickly, "hmm bed, now that sounds like a very nice idea, want company my love?" He said as he started behind her grabbing her around the waist to kiss her neck. Feeling their child he rethought quickly and added, "I will be very careful in teaching our child about what two people do when they are in love as we are." Rose couldn't help but laugh. "He will feel it before he is born... and yes, I would really love some company." She grab his arm that were surrounding her and held them. She felt so happy and so warm inside. "I'm happy that you are here. I'm happy to be in your arms right now." Drake had thought at one time not long ago that he felt happiness in Alex's arms, but, he had finally found that it could be better. He still loved Alex, but, the love he held in his heart for Rose ran through his entire being, it made him, it sustained him, he would die without it. He turned her around gently, so, they would be looking at each other and slowly, gently bent down to plant a kiss on her beautiful, sweet, full lips and felt as if he would drown in them. "I am always now happy each time I am able to wrap them around the one that has made me complete." Her arms went naturally around him has they kiss. "You also make me feel complete. Come with me... I need to rest if I want to be in full form for tonight. I don't intent to let you sleep you know." Drake chuckled as they moved over to the bed and she laid down to get much needed rest. He knew that the ceremony would take a lot out of her and wanted her to get as much rest as she could. He sat down on the bed and let her lay her head on his chest. It seemed the most natural thing he had ever done in his life and it felt good. "Love I know what you want, but, I don't want you to over extend yourself to cause any harm to you or our child." Drake said a little tone of more to come, "You know my love that I will not keep anything from you if I can, right?" Rose lift her head to look in his eyes. "I know, I felt that you had something lock inside... Are you ready to tell me?" Drake looked at her and knew she already had felt that there was something he was not looking forward to having to do. He was not sure if he should tell her or not at this juncture because he did not want to put a dampener on her happiness of today. He just did not like keeping things from her and he felt that if he did not let her know, it would be in her mind during the ceremony. She would be happy, but, not as much as she would be if there wasn 't something there that he had not told her. He felt he knew her enough that if she knew what was going on she could cope better with it. "It is something to do with Alex, my love, something she has asked me to do for her." he said looking into her face trying to see her reaction as if he did not already feel it. "You know she would not ask it if it was not very important, not at this time." "I know that she is sending her SFI agent with you on the Scorpion... I was presend at the close meeting. I'm happy that you are helping her." Drake was surprised, relieved and upset all at the same time that Rose had found out before he could discuss it with her. "I wish you had not found out about this before I could tell you, I am sorry love." He sighed as if there had been a large load lifted from his shoulders, but, he wasn't really relieved. "She only told what she knew, and not what all I know. I did not tell her everything, but, will reveal it to that Lt. Dupree that will be coming with me." "Don't go after Black!" Rose sat on the bed. Drake looked at her and at the seriousness in what she had just said. He wanted to do as she said, but, there was just no getting around it. Also, he again was astounded that she knew what he was going to say. "How did you know that I was going to say that I didn't tell Alex that the picture was taken after Black was suppose to have been killed?" "I can tap to a lot more Love and even more so from my soul mate. I knew that Black was alive, and Alex knew also... but also I know that you are thinking of Michael... he is on your mind when you look at me. When you saw him and you see me, I can feel the storm right here in your heart. It scares me. "Rose lifted her hand and lay it on his chest. What she said tore at his heart as it hit so close to him that it scared him. "Then my love don't ask me not to do what you and I both know that I have to do. I have to do this not only to help Alex, but, to try and make our lives more secure. With him out and about, we are not safe, he is one of the best at what he does. He is part of a group that is a very serious threat to not only us, but, to Alex and Tahl. He is a threat to the very existence of the Cochrane also." He explained to her softly but with conviction. "I could have walked away from this not long ago when no one really matter to me, but, not now, not now!" "I'm sorry if I hurt you but you have to promise me you will tell everything to Lt. Dupree and Tarz... Do you hear me? I'm not kidding here. This baby needs a father who will be alive and care for him." She took his hand and lay it on her belly. "And I need you to simply breathe." She after lay his hand on her face and close her eyes for a second. "That guy is a double edge sword, but he isn't the one after Alex right now, he is just a way for a means." Drake smiled at her and loved the feel of her soft almost silky skin against his rough hands. "You know me Love, I would never take chances." "I know you, that's why I tell you... don't confront Black alone if you come across. He wants as much you as Alex but who ever is behind them also. Alex conducted herself wonderfully, you have too." She lay back on the bed and put her head on his chest. "I love you, I want to grow old with you. I want other children from you." Rose could feel that the words were making him emotional and there was something there. She knew he wouldn't be at peace. "You have something else to tell me... I know it." With a tear trickling down his cheek, he thought of what would have been his and Alex's son, Michael, that had been cut down before he had a chance to even start a life of his own. He suddenly did not know how to say it without the emotion that it had always brought up since he completed the project. "I gave Alex something that is and will be ever close to us both. It was a project of mine that I was only recently able to complete." He said slowly and very softly almost in a whisper. Rose felt that she aim just too right. She lifted herself and welcome Drake's head against her chest. "What did you do Sweety? I don't understand." "A hologram of our son, Michael, as he would have been today." Drake said barely above a whisper. Rose closed her eyes has she heard the answer and just could imagine the reaction Alexandra had when she saw him, but she wasn't sure. "Oh Sweety, it's dangerous to do that, not that it can't be helpful." She caressed his hair and back. "Let go of that pain, I'm right here." Sitting back up not wanting Rose to take his pain as it was something he wanted to keep for a long time as it was a part of Michael, the only part he had. "No, I don't want to let go of the last vestige I have of him." he said maybe a bit too strongly in the face of Rose trying to help him. "I know that Honey, but I don't think that Michael would want you to feel pain as a memory of him.... do you?" Drake thought about what she had said and to him it just did not fit for some reason. Then for some reason it did and he could not figure out what the change in him was until he felt her love inside him. He could not decide to be happy with what she did or angry, but, he could not be angry at someone that he loved so much or at one that loved him enough to want to help him. "Maybe not my love and you are probably right, but, I need to hang on to it for a while. It is something I want." He smiled at her with a knowing smile. "I know you need him, I just wanted you to have that thought into your mind. How did Alex react?" She lay back on the bed and relaxed as she saw Drake also laying beside her. Drake remembered back when he had shown her and how she reacted. "Not very good at all at first. You might want to talk to her about it. It seemed to hit her very hard, but, she took the program I made for her." Rose remain silent for the moment. "I figured that much... she is very angry. She told me part of it but she is highly reluctant to say everything. I don't even know if Tahl knows everything either. She probably touch her pain, her anger, but she knows she had to confront it and she does it. I will see what I can do, but she is like a volcano on that subject... and now her father in the picture. Warn me first if it is her father... I want to be prepared." "It is her father that much we know of, whether he is still alive that we have yet to find out. Why and who sent it to her we need to find out also." Drake told her glad to have gotten past the painful subject and back on his mission. "He is still alive because he has one goal... like you have one goal too." It sounded enigmatic but she knew that he understood what she was saying. "Yes and that is why I am going to help him" Drake said with a finality in his voice he had never had with Rose. "Now didn't you say you needed rest before our nuptial?." "Yes, and I will feel better now that this is out of the way." She cuddled against him with satisfaction. "He wants to get back in touch with his daughter." Her arms were holding him firmly. Drake thought about what she said and hoped it was just him wanting to do just that and not someone else trying to use him to get to Alex and/or the Cochrane.

If it was a cut, there was no traces any residue from the object that it was cut from. Calvin ruled out that it was a natural cut. As time went by Calvin's mind started to wonder and he thought about how a couple of hours ago he was changing the duty shift so crewmembers could have time off and here was Calvin that with this new mystery wasn't getting any free time at all. Calvin then realized. THE WEDDINGS. It was kind of weird for him to be thinking about not one but two weddings. He looked at the time and it was 1445.Calvin knew that the first wedding would be soon. So he hurried to his quarters to get ready. (USS Cochrane - 2O personal quarters - 1450) Calvin quickly ran into the bath and stripped his uniform off and jumped into the sonic shower. He put the usual, manly shampoo into his hair along with the body wash on his body. After he finished washing his body including behind the ears and stepped out and wrapped a towel around his waist and made his way to the sink. He shaved real quick but safely and made sure he got an extra close shave for the special occasion. Calvin made his way to his closet where he found another standard uniform, climbing gear, his dress uniform, and some other clothes that he wears in certain occasions. He remembers the Captain saying that formal was an option. Calvin did not think about it. He went straight for the dress uniform. He knew how important an occasion like this was.

She needed to get ready and knew that her mother would come knocking on the door. It was just a question of minutes. She turn a little to look at Drake, nearly looking like an angel and also like a pirate. She could feel only love in him, his tenderness, his warmth, he was her sweet pirate. She smiled, her heart pounded faster just by looking at his face, but she needed to wake him up and this wasn't going to be easy. “Honey, you have to get up... you need to get ready.” She caressed his face and wanted so much to put a kiss on those lips of his, but she knew where that could lead. Drake felt a sweet caress on his face and rolled over putting his arm around the one woman that made him feel whole once again. He pulled her gently over to him so he could snuggle better with her and started to return to sleep. “Love, I know you feel comfortable... but you have to wake up!” He seem not to have listen to her, but she had one of his ears close to her mouth, she bit him gently. “Are you awake now?” She gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Hmmmm” he murmured into Rose’s side and he felt a love bite on his ear which brought him around a bit. He rolled a bit so he could see Rose as he answered her, “Yes and ready to play my love.” He smiled as he grabbed her and pulled her to him. “Wedding! Do you remember!... it's 1502 My Love.” She smiled and pass her hands in his hair. “Sex much better don’t you remember?” He said smiling as he understood her but wanted to give her a hard time. “Remember... I do remember.” Her hands navigated toward his lower back, and return back up. She knew that she would have to leave the bed in order for him to obey her and leave. “Just one tinny problem. My mother is coming... she should be there, at any moment. You need to get ready, take a shower, and get dressed. Make sure your men are elegantly dressed to be there for the ceremony.” She pushed him away he didn't make it easy but not hard either and she sat on the edge of the bed, stretch a little before looking back at Drake with a smile. Drake laughed as she moved him aside in a vain effort to get him going. She was so funny trying to get him up for the wedding, which he would not miss for the universe. She was so beautiful standing there smiling down at him as he bent his arm to rest his head on his hand to look up at her. “Yes, now I do see that you remember that sex is better.” he chuckled as he looked at where their son cradled in his warm nest. Then seeing that she was serious and the fact that her mother was coming he stood up to put his arms around her. He had to have one last time that she was in his arms and gave her a kiss. He then tapped his comm, “beam me over Scotty” he smiled as he dematerialized in front of her. Rose answer that kiss, let him step a couple of steps away and vanished. At the same time, Rose heard the door, it was her mother walking in. “He is gone!” She smiled and took a good look at her daughter. “He just left. The dress is on the hock behind you.” Rose took off her bathrobe and started to get ready. She lifted her hair, put some rich pins to hold them up. Put also a little make up, he skin was beautiful and it was probably because of the pregnancy hormones. Her mother helped her in silence, but there eyes talked. She was happy that Rose was happy. Once the dress was on, Rose look at herself in the Mirror has her mother set the necklace Drake gave Rose. A bouquet of whites roses tied up with a green lace ribbon. She was ready at last, she look at the time and her father walked in. “You look so beautiful my child!

I love you dad!” She couldn't help herself to give him a big hug. “Careful now! We better get going, it's going to take us a will to be in Ten Forward. Just took a peak there, it's looking wonderful.” He gave Rose a kiss on the cheek, and presented his arm to his daughter. “One moment Sweetheart... A picture! We need to have one.

He knew that the attack had already taken place, however Ron was not a man to die easily. John thumbed at the seats armrest as the ship continued to hurtle forwards at warp 9.99. He was no doubt making the Captain of the vessel nervous by suddenly leaving the Nimitz arriving on the mans bridge and commanding him to take him to the Cochrane. It wasn’t every day that an Intelligence officer bossed you about. John knew that the Captain was not happy about it, however it was low on his list of priorities. His friend was Proberly by now contemplating the nature of padded cells. The virus that he had been infected with was a peculiar one and developed during the Romulan Intelligence wars that had occurred. Of course due to the nature of the Intelligence wars no one ever knew. However the contemplation had to be held since there was no declaration nor mass engagement was it in fact a war? However for now there were more important issues to be dealt with. The antidote had to be administered with in 48 hours after second stage infection. John knew he would be cutting it close. “Communication range of the Cochrane Captain,” The captain of the vessel did not speak but looked at him. Smiling back John spoke in his deep voice, as the words came out his throat scratched an after effect of the attack. “Open a com link!” John ordered, with in seconds the female operations officer had opened a com link to the Cochrane. “ Mr Capps please inform Captain Lowell I will be coming aboard presently!” (Reply Capps) “Please make the shuttle bay ready,” John stated smiling. (Reply Capps) “Tell her I have a late wedding gift, London out,” John stated standing from the seat he straightened his uniform and then collected his stick, resting his weight on it he began to make his way towards the turbolift. Pausing he turned to the Captain. “You wont need to stick around, ill rendezvous with the Nimitz via my shuttle craft thank you sir,” John stated and then turned and entered the turbolift on route towards his shuttle. (USS Cochrane – Shuttle bay – SFI/XO – Commander John Wilson – 15:30) Stepping out of the shuttle stick first John walked slowly towards the deck officer, the officer stood to attention and smiled. John did not return the smile but glared at the officer. “A pleasure to have you aboard Commander Wilson, sir,” John glared at him even more. He hated being referred to as Commander sir, in the same sentence it just sounded wrong. Not breaking his stride he continued to lip towards the deck turbolift. His back was starting to hurt again it had not been the same since that fateful night. Stepping into the turbolift John stated for the bridge as he did he herd the officer churner under his breath. “Spooks,” John grinned as the turbolift started on its journey. (USS Cochrane – Bridge – SFI/XO – Commander John Wilson – 16:00) Arriving on the bridge John began to limp his way back onto the deck, pausing for a moment he looked around. It was close to 8 months ago when the Cochrane had saved him from a very early grave. He remembered looking around the bridge after they had transported him from the Shogun about to explode. He stilled owed Lowell a drink for that. Seeing the Captain he continued his lip towards the main bridge section, smiling he shook her hand maintaining his right hand on his cane. “Captain Lowell, im here with a present for you might we talk in private?” (Reply Capps, Lowell, Any) (Posted By Richard) Stardate:2406.9.16 (Scorpian - Crew quarters - Captain Drake - 1510) Drake had left Rose, which, he had not wanted to, but, he did have to get ready also for the wedding. The entire crew was buzzing with excitement as they had not had this type of festivities ever. They were all pulling their dress pirate outfits out and making sure that they could still fit in them. Drake watched as he made his way to his quarters to decide what he wanted to wear. He could not make up his mind what he wanted to wear, a Tux type suit would probably make Rose happy but then again he also liked his 17-18th century Regency outfit. He wondered if Rose would like it or not, and decided that he would wear that. Once he finally finished puting the touches to his outfit he left his room and walked to the transporter room. On the way he noticed most of his crew looked a lot like he did which made him smile that they would compliment him so. (USS Cochrane - Ten Forward - Captain Drake - 1525) Drake a few of his crew beamed just outside Ten Forward then walked in to see that there were a lot of Alex's crew already at attendance.

Max gave a small nod and walked inside. Calvin touched his commuicator with the palm of his hand. "Go ahead" "Sir there is a Commander Wilson hailing us." Calvin waited for the Ensign to go head and patch it through to his communicator. "Commander Wilson! What can I do for you sir." “ Mr Capps please inform Captain Lowell I will be coming aboard presently!” "Aye sir" “Please make the shuttle bay ready,” John stated smiling. "That will not be a problem. Ensign Capps out." Calvin called back to the Ops officer and told her that Commander Wilson will need the shuttle bay open. Calvin walked inside of Ten Foward and saw Captain Lowell finishing up a conversation with Nurse T'Simmi. Calvin walked over to her. "Good Evening Captain and Congradulations."

Enough for her to take a shower and get dressed for the wedding. She put her dress uniform with also the pin of her Vulcan homeworld. The small boxes she had with her was the wedding gifts that she put on each table for the happy couples. It had been hard to pick but she did. Knowing that Captain and the Counselor will have a baby, she decided on a practical gift. A comforter for the baby crib, and a bathrobe matching it, with a smaller one for the baby... like said one female crewmember looking at her choice. “Mommy and baby will look so cut in those outfits.” As for Captain Lowell, that was something else. The captain was a romantic, but also a fighter, a warrior, knowing this she could have went either way. But the romantic side was far more appropriate under the circumstances. There was a dress wore by vulcans females that she knew would advantage the captain's figure. She took one in the blue tones. She then walk up to the Captain after some of the crew return to there seats. “Captain, congratulation, it's the only news the crew is talking about. I must admit that I am a bit curious about the ceremony.” “It's rather simple T'Simmi.” “I know it is, an exchange of vows and promises, and of token, rings, a simple ring band usually made of precious metals.” “Yes, basically it's that...

During his voyage back to Cochrane Tahl had gotten to know them well. Especially Jared, the Scorpians XO and Drakes best friend. He was not your typical Vulcan. They nodded to each other in acknowledgement. Then Drake came and stood nect to Tahl "Well, old man, almost no more time to back out if you want my friend." Drake said as he walked up to Tahl and patted him on the back. Tahl looked at Drake quite seriously. "You better be joking," he said straight faced. "I am carrying a weapon you know." Drake had a strange look on his face until Tahl cracked a smile and put his arm around Drakes shoulder. Before anything else could be said, the rest of the wedding party came in and the nuptuals began. The ceremony was no long but it was very heart felt. Tahl could feel the love between Rose and Drake, and hoped the best for them. He saw Drake look over at him before beginning his vows, and Tahl smiled and patted his uniform where his phaser would be. When Alex told him to kiss the bride, Tahl wasn't sure if he needed to run for a glass of water, to seperate them. But the job was done by the sound of applause. Then Drake and Rose walked down the aisle together and out of the room. Tahl and Alex followed them. He hugged Rose as Alex hugged Drake. "If you ever need any help keeping this big dope in line let me know," Tahl joked. Then he turned to Drake. "Congratulations, you old pirate." They shook hands and then abandoned that for a hug. Alex caught his attention. "Tahl, Honey, I will go get changed and see what Comdr Wilson wants." Tahl was shocked to find that there was still a way for ALex to surprise him. "Wilson? Now? What's going on? Do yo need me?" "He should be on the bridge at any moment," Alex said, trying to settle him, "and I will be there to greet him. You don't need to be there, stay with everyone. Anyway, it's bad to see the future bride in her gown." She kissed him quickly before he could protest further. the contact of her lips to his cheek stopped him from anything else, and then she was gone. "What gives?" Drake asked, "Yours runs away before getting married and mine runs away after getting married." Then he smiled a great big grin, "You think they will be back for your wedding?" "If they're not," Tahl said, "they won't get far. I've had all modes off ship blocked or disabled. You think I'd have to give back the presents?" Drake just laughed as they left to get ready for another wedding. Tahl's and Alex's. (USS Cochrane - Ten Forward - StratOps- Commander Tahlmari- 1632) Tahl stood at the front of the room waiting for the wedding to begin. Oddly, he wasn't nervous, he was scared. He knew that this was supposed to be. They were meant to be together, and he couldn't wait for this to be over, so they would be. he did feel a little uncomfortable in the white dress uniform. He didn't wear it often, so it was still a little stiff. He looked to the back of the room and saw Wilson come in. The former FO of Geneva gave im a sign which Tahl could only interpret as they were ready to start. Tahl looked over at Drake and got his attention. Drake looked to the back of the room aswell and, almost startled, pressed a button to begin the wedding march. At first all Tahl could see was B'Lanor coming into the room in his dress whites. He was quickly followed by a vision of lovliness. Alex had never looked more beautiful. She was practically radiating beauty. His jaw hung slack for a moment, until he saw the quick show of leg. Then they made eye contact and smiled. Drake began the ceremony, but Tahl wasn't listening. The room disappeared, except for Alex. He let himself go to that spot in his mind reserved only for her. He sent a thread of an invitation to her to join him, which she did with a giggle. There was nobody there, but the two of them. It was the mental space created by the T'Kon technology, that bound the two of them together, giving them the ability to know each other better, and read each other in the real world. It was a very special place, a very private place, and most importantly, it was only for them. "I just wanted to tell you I love you." Before Alex could reply, something caught his attention and broke his concentration, bringing him rushing back to the world of the Cochrane. It was Drakes voice saying his name. "Mister Tahlmari, You may give your vows as you see fit to your beloved." Tahl took a deep breath, sad to have lost his contact, but ready to commit himself in front of these people. He paused for a moment. There were a few nervous chuckles from the audience, then he began to speak. "Alexandra Lowell, you are the light of my life and my reason for being. Before you, I was a desolate and solitary man. When we came together, it was as if we were meant to be. We were once told that our coming together was no accident. We were chosen for the parts we play in life by who we are and who we are meant to be. We were meant to be together. My promise to you is to love you, always. To be there for you when you have need, and even when you don't. Because of you I am complete. Where there was once a void, now there is plenty. My heart, my soul, my life, belongs to you. I trust you to take them and keep them safe." Then Drake invited Alex to give her vows to Tahl. They were amazingly, and yet not surprisingly, similar. Her words of love touched his heart, and he fought back his urge to grab her and hold on to her, to kiss her so deeply and thouroughly that she would never need to be kissed again. They stood there, enwrapped in each others gazes, neither of them paying heed to their surroundngs. Both of them contemplating going back to their secret place. "Tahl," Drakes voice cut into Tahl's concentration, "take the ring that has been picked out for your beloved and repeat as close as possible. With this ring, the symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my wife and companion forever onward as you put it on her finger." Tahl took the ring and held it centimeters from Alex's finger. "With this ring, the symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my wife and companion forever onward as you put it on her finger." He then slid the ring onto her finger. He looked up at Drake and gave him a wicked smile, and then mouthed the word , "oops." Drake gave him a disgusted look and then turned to Alex. "Ok Alex now it is your turn to do as he did, while repeating the words, Tahl my beloved, with this ring, the outward symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my husband and companion forever onward as you put it on his finger." Alex gave Tahl a half amused look. "Tahl my beloved, with this ring, the outward symbol of my eternal love for you, I take you to be my husband and companion forever onward." Alexandra said has she slip the ring at his finger. Drake stepped down to Alex and Tahl to grab their hands, "What the supreme being has thought to bring together let no one, no government, nothing tear asunder." then to everyone, "It is my immense honor and pleasure to pronounce to everyone here and to the happy couple that they are husband and wife, Mr and Mrs Tahlmari." Drake then turned them to look out into the crowd. Tahl didn't wait for his instructions. As the crowd began to stand and applaude he took Alexandra in his arms very close and gave her a kiss while slightly bending her backward and pull her back up again. The crowd began to hoot and cheer with more gusto. Alexandra held on to him and hug him after. Rose rushed beside Drake and give him a kiss too. "I love you and I'm so happy." Tahl smiled at her and Drake, then finally at his wife. "Well Mrs. Tahlmari, shall we give the crowd what they want?"

People were still walking in as the doors were staying open for the event. Alexandra was there at the entrance waiting for them, she walk up with a smile. “Are you ready? Drake is already there... a bit nervous.” “I am ready and nervous.” “You are not the only one. Ok, so let's put the show on the road. I'm going first to take my position. Maybe your mother wants to come with me. 2 seats has been saved.” “I agree. You two get in went the music starts.” “I understand.” Said Rose with a smile. “You look great Rose, I knew that dress would look good on you.” She wink at her and followed by Rose's mother they walk inside. She gave a look at Tahl and Drake that they were there. She took a position on the platform and after look at the musicians giving them a head signal. Rose's father put his free hand on her's resting on his arm. “I know you will be happy, so chin up.” “Yes dad!” She heard the music. “It starting.” Rose and her father walked in room, everyone was standing up to look at them. Following the music, they walk slowly right up to beside Drake. Once there, everyone sat again.

She stood on the podium and look at everyone, it was the signal to sit down. She took a deep breath and look at the musicien to start the music. It was weird, seeing Rose beside Drake there clothing did match perfectly. Once she was beside him, Alexandra took a deep breath... she had to give a speech. "Families, friends, and fellow officers, we have been brought together on this day to witness the union between Francis Drake and Rose Cantarzini. Marriage is an important step and it can't be taken lightly for the simple fact that life gives challenges that affects us in so many different ways. Your heart, your body, and your very soul must work through those challenges to make this comitment last through out your lives. It can be really hard, it can be really sad, just as it can fulfill you with happiness and joy beyond your dreams. The vows and promises you will pronounce here, in front of each an everyone, are the very bound that will link you to one another. So, Captain Drake you may start.” Alexandra smiled has she saw Drake facing Rose. (Reply from Drake) Alexandra listen to the vows Drake was saying to Rose, she saw a few tears rolling down her face. But, an handkerchief came out from underneath her bouquet of flower and dried them with a smile on her face. When Drake was finished, it took a moment before Alexandra could speak but a deep breath in she continued. “Rose Cantarzini, it's your turn to give your vows.” Alexandra gave her an encouraging smile. Rose look at Drakes hand, they were strong and yet holding them gently and surely, so she lifted her head to him and took a very deep breath. “It has been a long time since I have done this and I thought that it was forever, but even that is not long. Then you came, from the start, there was no secrets between us and it's like we knew each other. You break the wall I had made, you force me to find my strength, you encourage me to discover more of myself to only discover that my heart was already not mine any longer. It was your and also to my surprise, I had your deep in me, beating hard and strong. So here are my vows to you my Love. I promise to love you, comfort and encourage you, to be open and honest with you. I promise to be your confidante, always ready to share your hopes, dreams and secrets. I promise to give you a few surprises, because I want to see that smile of yours. My heart, my soul, my very being is yours forever and ever.” Alexandra was observing Drake has Rose finished to say her vows, it was touching him and her also. She was happy to see him this happy. She turn her head toward Tahl and gave him a smile before returning to more serious business. “The rings please.” They came quickly, she took them and gave the big alliance to Rose and the smaller one to Drake. “Francis Drake place the ring on Rose's finger and repeat... with this ring, symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my wife and companion forever onward.” (Reply from Drake) “Rose Cantarzini, place the ring on Francis finger and repeat... with this ring, symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my husband and companion forever onward.” Alexandra walk out from behind the lectern and place her hands on there's. “I have the immense joy and privilege of pronouncing you husband and wife...

She head sign him but return her attention to Rose walking slowly pass them. The dress look a bit strange, she wonder why... even more so the clothes of Captain Drake, everyone was talking about it and now that they were together. They understood that they dresses alike. ~Regency! What is Regency?~ She look around wonder who she could ask, and seeing that everyone was sitting down, she did the same. (Reply from anyone) (Posted by Laurence Durand) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Ten Forward – Scorpian CO Francis Drake - 1539) Drake knew once again that He and Rose were meant for each other as they both were in the same mind. As Rose had entered he noticed that she had also doned an 18th Century outfit for the wedding. As he had done, she had picked the Regency style wedding dress of that century and it fit her perfectly. The dress complimented even the fact that she was pregnant. It was a flowing silk dress that fell loosely but correctly down her form with one lacey strap that ran over her shoulder. Her hair, Rose had fixed atop her head in a beautiful 18th century style. As she and her father entered, the light of the corridor for a moment surrounded her as if a divine light was pointing her out to him. She was so beautiful which reminded him once again of only one of the many reasons why he loved her so much. He watched as she and her father walked up the isle of standing people. When they were close, he stepped down to meet them and watched as her father presented her to him. As everyone sat down, symbolically, her father took her hand and gave it to Drake that was extending his. “She is yours, to care, to protect, and cherish.” Drake looked into her fathers eyes, "As my own life." he replied to her father without taking his eyes away from Rose. Then he walked the short distance with Rose up to where Alex would perform the ceremony. Once Drake and Rose was in place, he saw Alex take a deep breath and began the ceremony. He listened to the words that Alex was saying which he understood as he lived them every day now. He turned slightly to look at Rose who had also turned to look at him. It read in both their faces that they had already made the commitment that Alex was talking about. "...So, Captain Drake you may start.” Drake barely heard Alex speak his name as he had been totally emersed into Rose. With a dumb look he looked at Alex trying to see what it was she had said when it dawned on him what it was. He then turned squarely back to Rose to voice his vows to her. "Rose my love, for so long I have been alone. I was alone ever since my parents were murdered so many years ago and then when I had lost another that I had thought was my soul mate. I searched all over the universe for her and when I did find her once again, I really found the one that made me whole for the first time in my life. You, Rose, are the wind in my sails, the sun that rises every morning, the very fabric that gives me the will to go on every day. You are truly my soul mate in every term. You are the strength that helps me go on from one thing to another and you are the one that gives me the will to return each time. I use to be fearless in the face of death as there was no real reason to worry whether I survived or not except to complete the mission. But, now I have a new reason to laugh in the face of death, You, you give me the strenght to know that I can overcome anything to be back in your arms. You have showed me that I am not so invincible as you have conquered me with your love. You are the one that I want to go to bed with every night and the one that I want to wake up to every morning." Drake pause a moment to smile at his beloved before continuing, "Now, with that all said, I make these solomn vows to you in the midst of the company here of both the Cochrane, Scorpian and whatever supreme being there is. Rose my love I promise forever to love, comfort, and encourage you with all my being. I promise to be honest with you, to share with you my hopes, dreams, my sorrows, and my secrets that I can share with you." Drake smiled a bit at that. "I promise to share with you all that is mine now, in the future and forever. My heart, my soul, and all that I am is not only yours now and forever, but, it was yours from the moment I was born. I want to grow old with you, I want to spend forever with you and no other." Drake finished and just smiled at Rose while Alex tried to compose herself to continue the ceremony. “Rose Cantarzini, it's your turn to give your vows.” Alexandra gave her an encouraging smile. Drake smiled even broader when Rose looked at his hands, then she lifted her head to him and took a very deep breath. “It has been a long time since I have done this and I thought that it was forever, but even that is not long. Then you came, from the start, there was no secrets between us and it's like we knew each other. You broke the wall I had made, you forced me to find my strength, you encouraged me to discover more of myself to only discover that my heart was already not mine any longer. It was yours and also to my surprise, I had yours deep in me, beating hard and strong. So here are my vows to you my Love. I promise to love you, comfort and encourage you, to be open and honest with you. I promise to be your confidante, always ready to share your hopes, dreams and secrets. I promise to give you a few surprises, because I want to see that smile of yours. My heart, my soul, my very being is yours forever and ever.” “The rings please.” Alex said and they came quickly, she took them and gave the big alliance to Rose and the smaller one to Drake. “Francis Drake place the ring on Rose's finger and repeat... with this ring, symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my wife and companion forever onward.” With his heart almost breaking with pride and joy he followed what Alex was saying, "With this Ring, the external symbol of my eternal and everlasting love, I take you Rose to be my love, companion, and my wife forever and eternal onward." He knew that he had added words to what Alex had said, it just seemed to be right. He slid the ring on Rose's smooth, lovely finger then looked back into her face. Alex then looked at Rose, “Rose Cantarzini, place the ring on Francis finger and repeat... with this ring, symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my husband and companion forever onward.” Drake smiled as Rose repeated what Alex told her to say, then Alex walked out from behind the lectern and place her hands on there's. “I have the immense joy and privilege of pronouncing you husband and wife... Drake you can kiss your bride.” She said with a crooked smile. At the pronouncement, Drake did not wait for Alex to inform him he could kiss his bride. He pulled Rose into his arms as he softly, gently, but, forcefully gave her a kiss that told her that he had indeed gave himself over to her fully yet once again.

Some of the people that had attened exited with them to offer congratulations, along with them was Alex and Tahl. "I will go get ready... I have to see Comdr. Wilson. I will be back at 1630 hrs." Rose told them after she congratulated them. Drake could not understand why she wanted to see a Commander Wilson at a time like this. Drake and Rose accepted the congratulations for a few minutes but there was yet another wedding to be held. Drake knew that Rose wanted to change before Alex's wedding. All he could do was nod as she ran off before he could say anything. "I think I will change also hun" Rose told Drake as he watched Alex go off, he then turned to see Rose head off also. He then turned to Tahl, "What gives, yours runs away before getting married and mine runs away after getting married." then he smiled a great big grin, "You think they will be back for your wedding?" (reply Tahl) (USS Cochrane - Ten Forward - Scorpian CO Francis Drake - 1630) Drake guided Rose to a sit toward the front of the room so she could be close to him and to where she could hear. He continued to the spot where Alex had just been during his wedding. He looked over at Tahl as he had also come to stand as Drake had did. As Alex had, only moments before, he signaled for the music to begin. After Alex had completed the walk up the isle and now was hand in hand with Tahl, he could see in their faces that they indeed loved each other. He knew that they loved each other as He and Rose loved. He was glad that Alex was safe and had found her soul mate also. He looked down at her and smiled then out over the attendees. "I am not going to again tell you about the importance of marriage and all that as Alex so eloquintly done in her speech. I will tell you that it is not easy to find the one that is considered your soul mate, but, when you do, your soul must work through all the challenges that live throughs at you to make the committment last. Do not make vows that are to be made here today lightly, make them from your hearts." Drake then looked at Tahl and Alex. "I knew Alex a long time before I met Tahl and knew her heart from the beginning. I can contest that she does indeed love this one they call Tahl. I have only known him since I came aboard the Cochrane to find that Alex was here. I had searched for her for a very long time and in my vow to Rose, I had found her but also found my soul mate. I also found that Alex had indeed found her soul mate. Even though Tahl and I bumped head for a while in the beginning, we have come to call each other 'Brother' and I will always be glad that it was he that is Alex's soul mate. With that being said, it is time for them to make solomn vows to each other." "Mister Tahlmari, You may give your vows as you see fit to your beloved." Drake said then listened to what Tahl had come up with. (reply Tahl) Drake listened to Tahl's heartfelt vow to Alex and was again happy for them. When Tahl was done he turned to Alex. "Alex, as your beloved has professed his love and devotion to him, it is now your turn to profess your vow to him." Drake informed her and the listened to hers. (reply Alex) Drake thought that she must really love him as her vows to him were from deep in her heart. After a moment, they had both turned to look at him. "In most cases, I would have told the Bride to just take his property to the bedroom." Drake paused for a moment to let the statement sink in and saw that Rose did not really think that had been appropriate. He cleared his throat, "Ok so it was not the thing to say here. so, I will continue. Tahl take the ring that has been picked out for your beloved and repeat as close as possible, with this ring, the symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my wife and companion forever onward as you put it on her finger." (reply Tahl) "Ok Alex now it is your turn to do as he did, while repeating the words, Tahl my beloved, with this ring, the outward symbol of my eternal love, I take you to be my husband and companion forever onward as you put it on his finger." (reply Alex) Drake stepped down to Alex and Tahl to grab their hands, "What the supreme being has thought to bring together let no one, no government, nothing tear asunder." then to everyone, "It is my immense honor and pleasure to pronounce to everyone here and to the happy couple that they are husband and wife, Mr and Mrs Tahlmari."

As the turbolift flew open John looked at the young officer. "Hello Commander Wilson. I don't know if you remember me, but my name is Ensign Capps and I am instructed to lead you to the Captain's ready room." John smiled and nodded. “But of course I remember you Ensign Capps. A pleasure to meet you once more ensign, where is the captain?” John stated remaining cordial. "Captain Lowell is performing a wedding at the moment.

Calvin trying to be polite excused himself away from the crowd and walked over torward the window. He looked outside of the ship and saw of course nothing but space. He dawned back to his parents second wedding and remembered all the candles and flowers. Really nothing like this wedding. Then he seemed to think more about his first love when he was 15. He could only remember his mother calling it "puppy love". Calvin laughed to himself. To this day Calvin still can't find her. One day she just moved away with out anyword.

She went on for the next step... makeup. "I have the cure that can restore Dr Weasley to come one close to his former mind," John stated producing the vial from under his jacket. That was enough that she poke her head out from behind the curtain. “You have a cure... Do you have an explanation?” Alexandra return back inside and went to her small vanity table. "The virus that was injected into his mind was a retro-intel virus. It is in essence a virus that thinks. What this vial does is convince the virus that it no longer needs to be in Ron.

Like who ordered that.” She was putting some light makeup, once the process was done she gave herself one last look satisfied. "Who we are not to sure off however due to Mr Weasley's previous employment he has links with intelligence no doubt some one was attempting to cover something up. We will however have to ask Mr Weasley, the instia will have been totally absorbed in 2 hours then i can inject the antibody," “So you have time to join us at the wedding... perfect.

She shook her head and smile to her Comdr. B'Lanor. “I'm ready!” She took a deep breath and slowly walk down the isle. She smiled to everyone and was bubbling inside with excitement. She blink at Tahlmari who's mouth was open but quickly replace is expression with a big smile. There bound was saying other things which was even more extraordinary, she knew that he loved what she was wearing. For him only, she let a bit of leg show but quickly hide it in the folds of the dress and took Tahl's hand has they turn toward Drake. "I am not going to again tell you about the importance of marriage and all that as Alex so eloquently done in her speech. I will tell you that it is not easy to find the one that is considered your soul mate, but, when you do, your soul must work through all the challenges that live throw at you to make the commitment last. Do not make vows that are to be made here today lightly, make them from your hearts." Drake then looked at Tahl and Alex. "I knew Alex a long time before I met Tahl and knew her heart from the beginning. I can contest that she does indeed love this one they call Tahl. I have only known him since I came aboard the Cochrane to find that Alex was here. I had searched for her for a very long time and in my vow to Rose, I had found her but also found my soul mate. I also found that Alex had indeed found her soul mate. Even though Tahl and I bumped head for a while in the beginning, we have come to call each other 'Brother' and I will always be glad that it was he that is Alex's soul mate. With that being said, it is time for them to make solemn vows to each other." "Mister Tahlmari, You may give your vows as you see fit to your beloved." Drake said then listened to what Tahl had come up with. (reply Tahl) Alexandra listen to Tahl's vows and it took a lot to keep herself from crying, her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid it would explode. She wanted to kiss him but it wasn't the time to do that. "Alex, as your beloved has professed his love and devotion to you, it is now your turn to profess your vow to him." Drake informed her and the listened to hers. When Tahl had finish, she was barely listening to Drake but knew that it was her turn. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and then lift them toward Tahl with a smile. “I remember the beginning, I have been hurt badly but you became my friend first and my heart started to heal. It took me a long time and I feel like I was so close of loosing you when destiny revealed are hearts, a ghost from the past reunited us, showing us the way. Since that day, I thank her with all my heart and soul. You have become so important to me. You are my best friend, soul mate, and will soon be my husband. You complete my heart and soul, and I am a better woman today because of you. You've shown me what it feels like to finally live, and the true meaning of happiness. You've made me realize that in life I will never have to settle for anything, and I can be proud and secure with all my imperfections. We compliment each other beautifully. Together we can face the world and be comforted in knowing we will never have to face it alone. I can't wait to start our lives together, as one lifetime with you could never be enough. I will always support you and our relationship, through the good times and the bad. I promise to be your confidant, share your dreams, hopes and to love you all the days of my life.

The first one was Rose who was the closest. Alexandra and Tahl shook hands, kiss people and finally they had some room to breath. (Reply from anyone who wants too) “Ok people, now Patricia's team will take those chairs and put the rest of the tables for the big diner are cooks created for us. In the mean time, there are appetizers, some already tasted them. So, it's time for the second part, have fun! I thank you all to have come.” Alexandra took Tahl's hand and guided him outside Ten Forward. “I will go get changed, I don't want to dirty my dress.” (Reply from Tahl) “Thank you!”She held on to him also close to her. “I have to go and get change... alone. I want to stay with everyone for a couple of hours. Then we will leave for are honeymoon.” She gave him a kiss but he was holding on to her. Alexandra didn't mind at all, she knew that it was hard for him to stay under control. (Reply from Tahl) “I know Love. I want that too, but there's the moral of the crew and it really lifted it up. You know you will not regret it, I have been thinking about us all day.” She gave him a kiss and back away with a smile. “I will be back right away.... five little minutes... with your favorite dress on... you remember, the peach, pink flower summer dress with the short slit on the side. I remember that we dance all night with it, close to each other. I want to show everyone that they have a captain who is so happy that she is floating.” She gave him a big smile which showed her little dimples.

Amongst them was also Calvin congradulating them as they tried to make their way out of the room. After the Bride and Groom left the room, the rest of the crowd sorted out in their own way and started talking again along with eating and drinking. Ensign Larsen, Max, Calvin, Ensign Darrel and Ensign T'Simmi were all standing in a small circle. Calvin sparked up a conversation. "Ensign Larsen and Max we spoke of going to the holodeck to climb. How would you like to go at 2000 hours." (reply Larsen, Max, Darrel, T'Simmi) "Yes, with the weddings there were not many holodecks booked so I can fit us in one. So who would like to join" (reply from any who want to join) "Alright then when we are finished parting here then we can go get ready and climb." (reply any) (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - 1958) Calvin walked inside the holodeck with his gear on and the rest of his gear resting on his shoulder. As he waited for the rest of the people to arrive he nailed in his first pick inside of the wall and setted up the rest of his gear.

He then walked over to the crowd that Larsen and other of his friends started while stuffing his mouth with the food. "Ensign Larsen and Max we spoke of going to the holodeck to climb. How would you like to go at 2000 hours." Max did not expect the question so quickly but then he remembered he was talking to. It was Calvin he always tried to everything promt. "I see no harm at doing it at that time." (reply Larsen, Darrel, T'Simmi) "Yes, with the weddings there were not many holodecks booked so I can fit us in one. So who would like to join" "Count me in" Max said excitedly "Alright then when we are finished parting here then we can go get ready and climb." Max nodded his head. "What level should we climb." "If it is ok with you all, I have an idea to pick a medium level mountain that oversees the Academy at sundown." (reply who ever is going to climb.) "Great" Max replied. (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - 2010) Max was late. He was running through the corridors with all his equipment on and people kept turning their heads to look what was going on. When he arrived he saw that Calvin already had his stuff ready. So Max did the same.

How would you like to go at 2000 hours." "I see no harm at doing it at that time." -said Calvin Darell hesitated a second, glancing first at Calvin, then at Max. Slowly, he reached out. "Are you quite shure there would be empty holodecks, now considering we have two weddings on the ship?" People were celebrating at a dizzying rate. Every berth in the ship's holodeck was occupied as Darell noticed "Yes, with the weddings there were not many holodecks booked so I can fit us in one. So who would like to join" "Count me in" Max said excitedly "Alright then when we are finished parting here then we can go get ready and climb." Max nodded his head. "What level should we climb." "If it is ok with you all, I have an idea to pick a medium level mountain that oversees the Academy at sundown." Darell set his feet, he wanted to come with them, so he just continued; "Hey, is it the one where you see when sun rises? Great, It's lovely mountain. I'll also come with you, if that's not a problem." Darell started to shifting a little uncomfortably. A hint of a blush crept into his cheeks, he just added himself into a new group of people. "Great" Max replied. Darell smiled, thinking of the adventures to come. (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - TAC\ASC Ensign Darell Saran - 2013) When Darell entered the holodeck, there were already Max and Calvin, he nodded with his head to both of them, then he started to inspect that his equipment is working fine. One mistake, and it would mean a death for him, and maybe for all. "Well, this is my first time, so friends, I'm not going up first!" -explained Darell with scared face (Reply from Max, Calvin, Anyone else) (Posted by Edward) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Counselor office – ASSCOUNS Ens Rachelle Garrett– 1700) Rose was happy to see her last patient leave her office. She got up, he back felt stiff and also her legs. She squatted slowly, her knees giving a popping sound and after straighten herself, she did it again. She went to the sofa and lay on it. “Computer, dim the light 50% please.” The light dim has ordered and looking at the ceiling she started to relax, breathing in and out slowly to let the stress out of her. She was a bit tired and she knew that she couldn't keep this rhythm for long. This baby needed her energy, her strength, not her stress. Suddenly, the door open, she look at who was coming, it was Ensign Garrett. Rachelle was still not feeling well she decided that her talk with the counseler was important so she went anyway. "Can we talk please Ma'am." Rachelle could talk for the most part now her voice was quite and she squeaked teribly.

She pick the music and even if Tahl wasn't comfortable with the idea, he would have too... just for her. She was happy that the old tradition on tapping on glasses was remembered, she was wondering when. The first dance announcement finally happen... and on time. "Ladies and gentlemen. Officers and friends. Clear the dance floor. I would like to present for the first time, and for the first dance of the evening, Captain and Mrs. Francis Drake, and Mr. and Mrs Tahlmari." Alexandra smiled has she look at Tahl's face, terrified at the prospect of dancing. She took his hand and guided him to the dance floor, sending him some encouragement through there bound. He finally got into the rhythm and he was enjoying it. She could tell by the twirl he was making her do. "Mrs. Tahlmari," he said, "have I told you that I love you?" “Not in a long time... I love you too Honey!” She smiled. Then she saw Drake who tap on Tahl's shoulder. There was Drake standing behind him. (reply Drake) Tahl and Drake swapped dance partners, and Tahl began to dance with Rose. Alexandra wasn't surprised and was happy about it. “I can see that you are happy, I'm not surprised. I must admit that I imagined are wedding that way.” (Reply from Drake) NRPG : There could be more... a JP maybe. Rpg (reply from Drake, and anyone) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane - Ten Forward - COUNS Lt. Cantarzini & Commander Tahlmari- 1915) Rose was blissfully happy to be dancing with Drake and it was a wonderful idea to swap partners. They did that with grace and she found herself in the arms of Tahl. They both smiled to one another, they were both happy and it was contagious because she could see the crew was. "Congratulations counselor," he said. "You let me know if that old pirate gives you any problems. I'll set him straight in quick order." "The only thing I hope after our honeymoon is that he comes back to me to see our baby born. This entire situation worries me but I know that I have friends and when you do... there's nothing impossible. You worried me a little, I saw your face when you heard that you and Alexandra were going to dance. You were terrified." Tahl smiled at the counselor, his friend. Now that she was married to Drake he almost felt related to her. Then he nodded. "Well..., let's just say that dancing isn't my best activity. It's not a big thing on Zakdorn, and when there were opportunities... I was not involved." His mind reeled to the numerous parties that he had not been invited to. Once he recieved an invitation to a party. He had been so excited that he was actually being included in one of his peers activities. He had outdone himself in preparing for it. Then the big day arrived. When he showed up at the party everything stopped. The music stopped, the dancing, the laughing, the fun. It all came to a halt like everyone had been thrown into a stasis field. He remembered a young girl coming up to him and saying, "What are you doing here freak?" Tahl was taken aback, since, after all, he had been invited. He pulled out the invitation and showed it to her. She pulled the invitation from his hand a scoured over it. She looked confused for a moment then called over to one of her friends. They both looked at it, as if it were writen in Klingon. The other girls suddenly looked as if she understood. "Ooooohhhh," she giggled, "this must be what happened to Tourana's invitation. It must have got sent to you by mistake. So sorry." With that they turned their backs on him and returned to the party. Tahl hadn't known what to do, but the room remained silent and still. Then the door closed on his face. The moment it was closed he could hear the music start again and the movement that could only have been dancing. Tahl shook his head and returned to the present. "Let's just say I don't like to dance." "Forget about the past, it's not important and I can tell you this, you managed rather well with Alexandra." "Thanks," Tahl replied, "it's easier with her. I mean, I can keep my rhythm with her easier. I just think of it as a martial arts exercise." "At the exception that she doesn't throw you over her shoulder." She said with a crooked smile. "That is always a possibility," Tahl replied with a laugh. "She is strong outside but inside there's that little spot, she loves you and because of you she is a better captain... I don't know if she knows what you have contributed to her life but I know, I can see it." She held him a bit closer. "I'm glad that we are all friends." Tahl put his cheek to hers as they danced and whispered in her ear, "As I am." The music changed slightly and Tahl noticed others joining them on the dance floor. Suddenly he remembered the package he had in his pocket. He fished it out and looked at it before handing it to Rose. "While I remember," he said. "What is it?" She look at the isolinear ship. Tahl pulled Rose to the side of the dance floor to avoid the oncoming rush of dancers. "It's just a little thing I whipped up for you and Drake. Call it a wedding present. It's the best honeymoon I could give you in one day." "I see, I don't have pockets but Drake has... I thank you, I know we will enjoy this. Just the thought of a few days together and I'm bubbling with energy." Tahl's smile grew as she accepted his gift. "I hope you don't get to excited. I hope I didn't make it to strenuous." He realized what he had just said and knew that it sounded badly. "Ummm, well, you two have a good time." Rose look at Drake coming with Alexandra at his arm has the song ended. "I think this is where we exchange partners again. If the program is too much, it can be modify right?" "Well...," Tahl looked a little sheepish, "let's just say it would be easier to modify this guy." Tahl swatted Drake in the midrift. Drake sucked in his midrift as Tahl swatted at him. "Modify? Me? never happen unless Rose wants it." He handed Alex over to Tahl and retrievd his beloved. "Tahl you had better treat Alex right or else........... I will have to send Rose after you." He chuckled as he hugged Rose tighter. "I wouldn't want that," Tahl replied with a laugh. "I wouldn't change a thing about him." Rose went and pass her arm around Drake's waist and putting the isolinear chip. "We will leave you two alone and go back dancing." Tahl watched as Drake and Rose danced off to the dance floor. He couldn't help but feel the love he had for them, and silently wished them good luck. They were going to need it in the near future.

Patricia and Kono were there, moments later. Rose had a big smile on her face seeing Patricia and Kono. "Good, we are all here... We have a few decisions to make here." "I agree!" Said Rose. Kono observed. "You both are definitely glowing with happiness. I guess I will have to surpass myself." Alexandra look at Kono. "I think you will have to, it is a double wedding." "My parents should arrive very soon." As she said that, the door open to a couple. "Please come in and sit down. We have just started." "So we are in time." They look at Rose who got up and sat between them. Her father protectively pass his arm around her shoulder. "Drake should arrive soon Captain Lowell." Alexandra thought. ~We will have to talk, that is sure!~ "Good... first thing... I present to you Kono, the ship's chef, and Patricia O'Leary, organizer of any events to distract our crew with some great times." To present them to the couple. "Where are we going to have the ceremony? Ten Forward and our biggest holodeck, are about the same size and can have the same quantity of people." "Humm, for this I would like something formal... Ten Forward would be the best." Said Rose. "There's also a beautiful view. How long before it be ready?" "Well, Ladies, it would depend on what you want." Pat replied with a sly smile kinda knowing what they might want. She had gotten to know them both since she had arrived. She knew that Roses would be one thing and possibly an Italian or Egyptian look would be picked. "She's right... what do we want? Flowers... yes... Roses blue and red, but we can put other type of flowers. But it might be bizarre to have a variety of colors. Our dresses are white, with a touch of white flower patterns." Alexandra saw the look on Roses face and chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm not going to reveal their design." Alexandra type a couple of research and search what they had on board. "Two columns looking like white marble, behind, a holographic projection, a fountain, this one to be exact. I like the sound of water." "Me too! Show me." Rose took the padd that Tahl gave her as Alex pass it to him. "It's gorgeous, it looks like it's from Italy." "It is from Italy, tulips, and those, here is the list Patricia, we have all of them in the hydroponics gardens. Music. Classical, violin maybe even piano. I think that Ensign Kyato and his group can perform, they did that last month for the wedding of Lt. Fontaine and Ensign Mayo." "I will go ask them." Said Rose's mother. "I need something to do... how long do you think it will take Miss O'Leary to decorate Ten Forward." Pat looked at the list for several seconds and decided that it would not be so hard as long as the flower arrangements could be accomplished by the Botanist on board. "Well, it really depends on how fast our Botanist will be able to do the flower arrangements." Pat replied the thought for a second, "Maybe three to four days." she finished questioningly to see if this was too early or long. Drake strolled into the room hearing the last of what Pat was saying. "Two days and if your botanist cant handle it, mine can." He finished smiling as he put his arm around Rose. “2 days!” Said Rose, like Alexandra she wasn't happy about this news. “We have until tomorrow same time, because that is when we will start mapping that nebula 16 hrs away from us. So, 2 days are out of the question. 6Hrs and we will have to simplify this arrangements. How about this Rose... A blue and Red Rose in a simple yet beautiful flower holder, those little candle holder, they make beautiful light. The fountain will be holographic. That should cut are time. Food, that is where both ships will be needed and both kitchens here and yours on board. Wine, I think with both are cellars we might be able to serve everyone adequately. Roast, dish and also a salmon dish, pasta side dish or vegetable side dish, dessert, well, 2 wedding cakes. Each ships can make one.” “6 hrs will be just, you forgot the appetizers.” Said Kono already making arrangements. “Count that there will be 2 ceremonies, one following the other you can add maybe 2 hrs to this. Patricia... what do you think?” Pat listened with interest and then turned to Drake, "You need to back out of this and just be one of the grooms. Let the experts handle things like this." She then stuck out her tongue to him and turned to Alex. "We can do it Alex, not a problem as long as a certain captain keeps their nose out of it. It sounds perfect Alex, so in eight hours the ceremony will be held and then the reception." Drake looked at Pat seeing how much fun she was having putting him down. He knew that she was only playing and was having fun helping plan the weddings. Alexandra give out a little chuckle and smiled. "Ok then in eight hours and I will have the chiefs on my ship make one of the cakes. I will also have some of our flowers sent over for the arrangements." He said just as Pat started to push him out the door. Drake sent Rose a wink and left to arrange things on the Scorpion. “Between 6 to 8 hrs everything will be ready... Ensign Capps will be assign to help you procure with what ever furniture or stuff you need. I guess we are ready... Counselor, do you think I missed something.” “I don't think so... 6 hrs and I will be married.” “Well, we better get you ready... 6 hrs can quickly vanish.” Said Rose's mother with a smile. “Okay, any questions, anything to add... because once is done I have a bit of work to do to be free for this afternoon.” There was silence in the room. “By the way, welcome on board the Cochrane.” She said to Rose's parents, they give her a head sign and a gentle smile. “Good, let's get to work. Tahl... I want to see you. I have a special assignment for you.” (Reply from Tahl, anyone) (Posted by Laurence and Frank) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane – Ten Forward – COUNS Lt. Cantarzini – 1930) Drake and Rose were having a lot of fun but she felt it was time, time to leave that is. Rose took the initiative and has they dance she saw that they were close to the door. “Love... why don't we leave quietly!” (Reply from Drake) Drake smile maliciously and made her pass the threshold of the room with a chuckle. “Do you have the little program Tahl made for us?” (Reply from Drake) “Can't wait to see it!” (Reply from Drake, anyone) (Posted by Laurence) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - 2O/Chief Ops Ensign Calvin Capps - 2014) "Well, this is my first time, so friends, I'm not going up first!" -explained Darell with scared face Calvin looked at the Ensign. "That is fine. I will go first. I would like it if we tried to stay at least 8 meters apart but not more than 10. Is that ok with you?" (reply Max and Darrel) "Great" Calvin once again checked his equipment on his waist. He attached his carabeaner on to the first clip. He started to rise as he stuck his hands into the nearest hole formation he could find. With all of his upper body strength he he pulled up with that one hand and then found another slit to put his other hand in. Capps found a nice placement for both of his feet and waited for Darrel and Max to start with them. "Are you guys ready?" (reply Max and Darrel) As he wathced the two of them climb the rock with him, he turned back around and looked up to see the tip the of mountain which was farther away than he remembered. Once the other two caught up with him they started to climb together and was able to put a word in here and there. For the most part they all had to concentrate in what they were doing. (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - 2044) After a couple of very short breaks Calvin stopped again to adjust his pin and his carabeaner for his rope. As the sweet poured of his face and biceps he kept pulling his own body wieght up. "Ok, 50 meters more and there is a small flat surface ahead where we can get a nice big rest" (reply Max and Darrel) Calvin stuck his hand into the chalk bucket and started to make the rise to resting place as quickly as he could. He has climbed this mountain before but this time he was tired. For a second he thought about stopping and going back down but he felt like he would be ok and continued. (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - 2056) The last part of the climb to the resting spot was fairly easy. Calvin thought that they made some good ground. "Well, here we are." (reply Darrel or Max) Calvin bent down and pulled off the small and light weight back pac off of his and pulled a nice energy bar with some water.. "Look at the academy. Is this not one of the nicest things some one could ever see." (reply Darrel or Max) (reply Darrel or Max) (posted by Calvin Capps) Stardate:2406.9.16 (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - 2O/Chief Ops Ensign Calvin Capps - 2014) Max saw Darell walk in and after Max and Darrel both checked their equipment thouroughly. Darrel spoke up. "Well, this is my first time, so friends, I'm not going up first!" -explained Darell with scared face Calvin looked at the Ensign. "That is fine. I will go first. I would like it if we tried to stay at least 8 meters apart but not more than 10. Is that ok with you?" Max thought for a moment. He tilted his head to look up at the rock. "Fine by me. If something happens I would want someone to help me." "Great" "Are you guys ready?" Max found it better to go after Darrel. So when Darrel started Max followed Darrel by putting his pin inside of the rock and started to climb. Max finnaly caught up with Darrel and Calvin. They all started to climb together and Max really felt comfortable climbing now. He had never been the caboose of the rock clibing team before. (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - 2044) Max had noticed that Calvin had placed an extra pin in the rock so Max went ahead and put an extra pin as well. As Max put his right hand into his bag that was on his waist he pulled out a pin and a small hammer. He pinged the hammer into the rock and then stuck the pin inside. He attached his carribeaner into the pin and started to climb some more. "Ok, 50 meters more and there is a small flat surface ahead where we can get a nice big rest" ~It is about time. I am pretty tired.~ (USS Cochrane - Holodeck - 2056) "Well, here we are." Max put his hands up on the flatt surface and pulled with all his wieght to get his body onto the surface. "Great. I am so glad we are here." "Look at the academy. Is this not one of the nicest things some one could ever see." Max also took out a bottle of water. "Yes, it is really nice." "Look guys, if it is ok with you guys. I am really tired and I rather not climb the rest of the way up. Can we call it a day?" Calvin looked at Max. "You know what Max. This climb really has seems like a harder climb than normal, and I think it would be safe to make a way back down as well. What about you Darrel?" (reply Darrel) Max found himself packing his bag back up and hooking up his line back into the pin at the top of the mountain for him to zip down. (reply Calvin and Darrel) Max had reached the 50 meter mark where he had put the extra pin in. He put his line in it and started to zip line down back down to the bottom. Before he knew the pin slipped out of the hole and Max was falling fast to the ground. (reply Calvin and Darrell) Max heard Calvin or was it Darrel say something and then he felt a sharp pain in his back and then he blcked out. (USS Cochrane - Sick Bay - 2210) Max woke up looked around and all he saw was bright lights. "What is going on?" Max mumbled as he tried to speak.

Darell said, but he didn't felt that way As they were climbing together, they stopped to exchange a word here and there, but most of the trip they spent without a word.
