Luke looked up to see J'Leera looking at him from behind his console.
Luke shifted uncomfortably in his chair. He was trying to focus on soemthing else apart from that.
"She was rushed to the general Infirmary today after collapsing for no apparent reason." His shoulders shuddered. "If it is Ok J'Leera I would rather not talk about it right now. I dont feel like I can keep my emotions under control..."
After his shift had ended and he had handed control of the ship over to an ensign he stepped nito a turbolift and went ot his quaters.
It was 1800, he had an hour before the dinner. This is going to be interseting he thought seeing as I can hardly make myself look good in this state.
He got up form the chair he was sitting on and looked in the mirror. His eyes were swollen and his face patchy. He removed his uniform and carefully left it on his bed. He climbed into the shower and tried to wash away the pain he felt.
"Computer, what is the time?"
=^= 1830 =^=
Oh my goodness! Luke thought, Ive got half an hour to get ready!!! He climbed out of the shower and ordered a pot of hair wax from the replicator along with a dress uniform. He dried himself off and then changed into the smart outfit. Luke applied liberall amounts of hair wax on his head to try and make his hair look flat and then he straightened the comm badge on his chest.
He looked at himself in the mirror. Better he thought but still not great. He walked out of his quaters and grimaced as he thought of his mother lying in that bed. Maybe when they were at Earth he could see her he thought.
Without even realising it Luke met up with J'Leera in the corroder near the Captains Quaters.
"What.....Oh thanks J'Leera..." He looked up at her and there was an apology in his smile. He just wasnt with it at the moment. The he properly looked at her." You...You look amazing J'Leera..." As her friend he had never apreciated her beauty before, but here it was different. He didnt feel for her in that way but her beauty made him gasp that night.
"Thankyou." J'Leera said while a slight red tinge appeared on her cheeks.
Luke rang the door chime at the Captains Quaters. And ther were greeted by the Captain himself.
"Welcome!" He said and smiled. "Please take a seat and help yourself to drinks.
Luke smiled politely. He would love to go their wedding but he really had to see his mother....

Joint Post: J’Leera and Luke
J’Leera couldn’t wait for the wedding. She had never been to an Earth wedding before and wondered what would happen. She turned around to Luke and asked him if he had ever been to an Earth wedding before.
Luke was busy thinking about his mother when J'Leera asked him something… "I’m sorry...what.... I didn’t hear you" Luke said.
"I was just wondering whether you had ever been to an Earth Wedding before." J'Leera repeated.
"Oh, Er no. I don’t believe I have, but I know them to be very large and extravagant affairs...."Luke trailed off. He just couldn’t get his mum off of his mind.
“Luke? You okay?” she asked. “You seem a little distracted. Is it your mother?”
He looked at J'Leera, trying very hard not to yell at her. Of course I’m not ok, he thought. My mums probably dead, that’s just a stupid question. No! he thought, its not her fault. "Yes, I am worried about my mother. It couldn’t of happened at a worse time."
She studied his face, trying to understand what he was going through. She wasn’t a counselor and had no idea of what to say, but she didn’t want to see him hurting like this. “If it’s really that bad, perhaps you should speak to the Captain about it…” she began.
“No, no,” he shook his head.
“And ask about possible leave,” she continued. “If it’s that bad, you really should be with her. Is that what you want?”
"No," he said firmly. "And I am sure she does not want to see me either."
J’Leera didn’t answer, but she was very saddened by Luke’s response. She didn’t really know Luke that well, but something terrible must have happened between him and his mother. She couldn’t imagine not ever wanting to be with her mother, Especially if she was very ill.
Luke looked at J’Leera. She obviously wanted to help but he just couldn’t explain what was happening to him at the moment.
He looked round the table at the new crew and wondered whether he should start a conversation with them.
J’Leera noticed that Luke had looked away from her, so she turned her attention towards her dinner. She picked up her spoon and stirred her hot vegetable soup. For some reason the food didn’t seem very appetizing. Sure it smelled good, but she still had to force herself to eat it. She knew that if she didn’t, her host would be very insulted. But why couldn’t she eat? She didn’t understand what was going on. Ever since she left the Vesuvius, her stomach couldn’t seem to handle normal food. She glanced around, hoping that no one saw her strange behavior.
Luke picked up a spoon for his soup and began absentmindedly stirring the contents. He took a small sip of the warm broth and then put the spoon straight back down again. He just couldn’t make himself swallow. He picked up a small piece of bread and tried to swallow that. He just managed to end up choking himself. "You O.K Luke?" J'Leera asked. "Yes" he replied "Just the wrong hole." She smiled at him and then returned to her soup.
=^=Lt. Dowding you have message waiting her from Earth. A certain Miss Amy Krentuckva wishes to speak with you. =^=
He spluttered with soup in his mouth.
"You can take it in my bedroom Lt." K'Vada said.
"Thank you"
Luke got up and walked over to the bedroom wondering what Amy had to say....

--After the dinner-- K'Vada cleaned the table. Julliet walked behind him and gave him a kiss in his neck. "What did I do to earn that?" Sam asked. "Just beeing who you are." Julliet replied and Sam started kissing her back. Soon the 2 officers were chasing eachother like teenagers in love.
--5:00-- Julliet and Sam lay exhausted in bed. They had chased eachother for a hour or so. ==^==Souhami to Capt. K'Vada==^== ==^==K'Vada here==^== K'Vada said a bit irritated ==^==Sir, there is an incomming message from Admiral Ney. She wants to talk to you.==^== ==^==Put her through. K'Vada out.==^== With that the face of Admiral Ney appeared on a screen. "Ah Sam. Sorry to wake you. But I need to talk to you before I leave." Admiral Ney began "No problem, Kim. What can I do for you?" Sam asked. "As I read you're comming to Earth and I have a mission for you." Ney replied "Comeby ASAP." "We'll do Admiral. It will take a week. We have shore leave and my XO and CNS are going to marry." Sam replied "See you the. I got to go. Ney out." Ney replied. Sam stood up and pulled him uniform back on. He was awake so he should go to his ready room. Julliet woke up. "Where are you going?" Julliet asked "I'm going to my ready room. I have an expiriment running on the transport of neurotransmitters in Andorian Glubus palidium cells and since I'm awake I'll continue with that. See you later at breakfast?" Sam asked "Sure not before 7:45." Julliet could barly replied and fell asleep. Sam walked out of the room towards the bridge.
--Bridge-- Sam stepped out of the turbolift. "Sir we arrive in about 2 hours on earth." Mr. Souhami said. "Good inform me when we get there. I'm in my ready room." Sam replied and walked to his ready room.
--Ready room-- Sam entered. "Computer load simulation K'Vada 3." Sam ordered "One Adnorian root leave tea." There appeared a cup of tea in the replicator and Sam began to work.
--2 and a half hours later-- ==^=Capt. we're entering the terran system.==^== ==^==On my way.==^== With that Sam left his ready room.
OFF: okay we're almoste at earth.

UM felix next time i make a mistake you could atleast tell me on msn instead of making me look like an idiot on the boards and i'd appreciate if you let ME make corrections to my post PS *reminds Felix that he is academy staff and that one of things it states in the academy staff guidelines is:* No one should take it upon themselves, however, to correct any other member in a public forum such as our message boards.

Lieutenant Löhnen walked to the turbolift. The doors slid open and he entered. "Deck 5 Alpha" The doors slid shut and the turbolift began moving. At Deck 5 Alpha, the lift stopped and the doors slid open.
- Deck 5 Alpha, the Marine Deck -
Lieutenant Löhnen entered his new work area. Deck 5 Alpha had been designated 'Marine Deck' by Captain K'Vada, so this is where most of his day would be spent. At his right hand were the offices of the Marine CO (Löhnen) and the Marine XO (Gunnery Sereant Liam O'Connor)* as well as the Briefing Room and the Brig. At his left hand were the quarters of the Marine CO and the Marine XO, as well as the Armory. Right in front of him was the Holoroom, which took up most of the space on the Marine Deck. At the far end of the Marine Deck was another Entrance door. At both sides of the Marine Deck were additional quarters for Marine personell.
The Holoroom was where the Marines would be training. It was large and rectangular and had state-of-the-art holotechnology.
The quarters and the offices of the Marine CO and the Marine XO were rather large and fairly luxurious. The quarters of the other Marines were good quarters in their own right, but smaller than those of their two superior officers.
The Armory was a rectangular room and only three people had the codes to acces it: the ship's CO (Captain K'Vada), the Marine CO (Lieutenant Löhnen) and the Marine XO (Gunnery Sergeant O'Connor).
The Brig was small but adequate, but it probably wouldn't see many inhabitants.
*Although Captain K'Vada is ultimately in command of the Marines since he is the Captain of the ship, Lieutenant Löhnen and Gunnery Sergeant O'Connor are Department Head (CMaO) and Assistant Department Head (Assistant CMaO), so for all practical purposes, they are the Commanding Officer and the Executive Officer respectively. Captain, if you object to this terminology, please let me know and I will change it as soon as possible.
I will continue this post later.

Personal Log, Commander Wood, Stardate xxxxxxx.xx
I haven't been able to record a log in quite a while, due to work on the Marine Deck. The Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Lohnen, was transferred to the Marines Department, and along with him Mr. O'Connor. So that basically left me as the senior technician aboard this ship.
Thank god the Marine Deck's fully operational now, and will probably be a good addition to the ship. *chuckles*Listen to myself.. probably. I guess I haven't been able to fully adapt to the presence of the Marines yet. It scares me, honestly. I joined up with Starfleet because of the science and engineering programs, and even though I have seen my fair share of action, this makes it quite clear it's possible I will have pick up a phaser once more.
Anyway, I shouldn't be too bothered about that right now, since we're back at Earth. And that is not all, there have come a lot of new crewmen aboard. I haven't had a chance to meet most of them, except for Lieutenants Dowding and Laika, whom I met at the senior staff dinner last night.
*Laughs*Last night, I have some fond memories of that.
Computer, delete last sentence.
Anyway, the Lieutenants seem... distracted.. isolated. I shouldn't be too surprised about that, probably. I too know what it to join a group that's been together for some time, that's completed many missions and has almost become a family. *to self*Perhaps I should get to know them a little bit...
And last but not least, the wedding. I haven't the slightest idea about what to give them. Something blue, something borrowed?
*sigh*Computer, delete last sentance....
But I'm looking forward to the ceremony, I've seen their love for each other, and that's something to be charished in these dark times.
Oh, I'd better get going, I had better not keep my date waiting..
Computer, end log..

OFF: After the dinner. Joint post with Tiffani.
J’Leera tried to enjoy her dinner, but her something kept nagging her. It was like her stomach couldn’t sit still. The feeling was similar to being anxious, but slightly different. Whatever it was, it was really starting to bother her. However, she forced herself to ignore it and finished her dinner. Desert came next with a slice of pie or cake for everyone who wanted one with a hot drink. She ordered her usual raktajino and had a slice of Terran cheesecake. Afterwards people began to get up and move around, so she went over to a nearby couch to sit. She watched as the other officers talked to each other. She couldn’t help but to feel a little out of place among them.
*after finishing her conversation with the captain, Tiffani Spotted J'Leera sitting alone and walked over to where she was sitting* Everything okay? *she questioned noting more to get the Lieutenants attention then anything*
J’Leera saw the counselor coming over and moved over on the couch to make room for her. “Oh, hello ma’am. Yes, I’m okay here,” she answered nervously.
*she gave her a warm friendly smile to let her know it was okay to be nervous* Please call Me Tiffani when not on duty Ma'am seems so formal *she chuckled slightly*
“Okay,” she smiled, relaxing a bit. “I didn’t know what you wanted to be called. I didn’t want to take the chance of offending you in anyway.” She took a sip of her drink and set it down on the table.
*sitting down on the couch she looked around with a drink in one hand* Its okay. So what do you think of the ship so far?
“I love it!” she blurted out. Several of the other officers glanced over at her, smiling to themselves. “I really do,” she added, ignoring them. “It’s been my dream ever since I was a kid to do something important with my life and now it’s finally happening!” She leaned back on the couch, smiling. “Sure it’s been a little strange trying to adjust, but that’ll go away once I get to know everyone here. Captain K’Vada seems to be a good officer and strict, but I like that. I like to be challenged or otherwise I’ll get too lazy.”
*she smiled slightly at the Lieutenants eager reply* Yes it is a fine ship and crew *she looked around her eyes falling more on Felix then looking at rest of the officers present* The Captain is a fine person, *she smiled* and after time im sure you'll get to know everyone. In fact you'll all have time to get more acquainted at the Wedding reception *she Smiled warmly* “Will this be an Earth wedding?” she asked. “I’ve never been to one before; I don’t know what I should expect. What does one wear?”
It will be a combination of Earth and Betazoid wedding *she smiled* normally at an Earth wedding, Generally the females where dresses and the guys normally wear Tuxes or nice pants outfit depending on the formal wearing. I’m sure if you do some research on the ships computer you can learn more about the Wedding Customs *she smiled*
“Hmm…I’ll have to do that later tonight I have heard some about Betazoid weddings…they don’t wear clothes in it, right?”
*she chuckled* Its the Brides Decision on whether not they wear clothing most Betazoid Females don’t but some like me do especially when around ones who feel Uneasy about be naked *she chuckled*
“So do I,” she breathed a sigh of relief. “I was a little worried there for a second.” She paused and glanced over at Luke who was off by himself by the replicator. “I suppose you’ve seen a little of what Luke’s been doing. Something’s going on with him, but he won’t talk about it. I’m really worried about him.”
*she nodded looking in Luke’s direction* yes I have *she smiled knowingly* From what I can sense he's worried about his mother although I don’t know why *she paused* That’s the only down side to being a Half Betazoid you can only sense what people are feeling and can only sense what they are thinking about
“He said something about a medical emergency with his mother, but that’s all I know. I hope that he does talk to someone, I hate seeing him like this,” she said. “We were all pretty close back at the Academy. We were practically family, so it hurts to see him like this.”
*she gave her a caring smile showing a sense of friendship and warmth* well I’ll try and talk to him *she said reassuringly* But I cant force him to talk.
“Of course,” she said, understanding.

Danny walked towards his office. During dinner, he had sensed some uneasiness from the crew towards him. The Chiss, the species he belonged to, were a little telepathic. They could sense a mood and that could come in quite handy, but he couldn't read minds and wasn't nearly as emphatic as a Betazoid. Still, he could guess what this uneasiness was about. The crew were a little on edge of having Marines aboard.
True, in the past, Marines had caused a lot of trouble, but didn't they realise that Marines had other fucntions than blowing things up as well?
How could he take this restlessness away? Okay, time would show the crew that the Marine function was primarily a life-preserving function, but stil.....
After a while, he got an idea. His initial plan was to write a memo and thereby informing the crew of what the Marines would do on the ship, but his next thought was probably a better idea.....

OFF: This is before the end of the meal.
ON:
Luke got up from his seat and walked as calmly as he could to the next room where he accessed a console and typed in his security code. Amys face appeared on the screen. She had obviously been crying.
=^= Oh Luke, its just terrible. =^= Amy sobbed.
"W...W...what is it..." Luke stammered barely able to stop himself from crying.
=^= Your mother Luke, she...she..=^=
"Its ok Amy...."Luke tried to smile at her but he was aware that it was probably more like a grimace. "What has happened"
=^= This morning, she fell into a coma again. The doctors ran more tests and discovered that she some sort of device implanted into the base of her brain. Most likely left over from when we were slaves in the Deltic Belt.=^= She took a deep breath and her shoulders shuddered. Tears were running down Lukes face, silent tears....=^= The Doctors cannot surgically remove it or even beam it out as they risk taking a large portion of her brain with it....=^=
Luke looked at her, hardly daring to believe what she was saying. "What does this mean" Luke sobbed.
=^= Your the next of Kin Luke. You have a choice to make...=^=
Luke shudderd uncontrollably and broke out into heavy sobs.
"You wnat me to decide wether to allow my mother to die or wether she remains brain damage for the rest of her life, dont you? DONT YOU?!!!" He lookd Amy hard in the face. "How can I do it?" He asked pathetically. "She either has no life or a life being only half alive. How can I do it?"
Amy looked at Luke. All the things they had been through together could not of prepared her for this. She had nothing to say. =^= The doctors said that they must have a decision in 48hours or you mother will die no matter what....=^= Amy said.
"I..I...dont know what to do...." Luke stammered. "I cant make this decision. Why...Why would this happen?"
Luke could hear Amys sobs but he just couldnt looka t her now. =^= I have to go now Luke. I have to see wether your mum is comfortable. I love you.=^=
"Love you" he replied and then the screen went blank.
He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and walke dout into the area with the dinner table in it. The table was empty and the offciers were sitting on chairs dotted around the room talking. He walke dover to the Capatin, trying to regain his composure.
"Thankyou for a lovely evening, Sir, but I am afraid that I must be off as I have the early shift tomorrow." Luke said trying to sound cheerful and pleasant.
"You are very welcome Lt." K'Vada said. "See you in the morning." Capatain K'Vada smiled and Luke half smiled back. He waved at J'Leera but she ddint seem to notice so he walke out of he door and headed for his quaters for a good long rest.
****0530****
Luke awoke to the computer sounding the time. He thought about last nights events and shuddered. He got out of bed had a quick cup of yorkshire tea and washed he then changed into his duty uniform and walked to the turbolift that would take him too the bridge.
The turbolift whizzed along and halted at the Bridge he stepped out and noticed that the bridge was pratically empty. He walked down to his console and relievd the young tired lookin ensign who was unfortunate enough to have landed the night shift.
"Thank you Sir, but I still have 10 more minutes of duty left."
"Its ok Ensign, go get some sleep. Ill take over from here." Luke smiled at the Ensign. The young man got up and walked smartly off the bridge. Luke sat down and looked at the course the ensign had set. He immediately changed it. Im too much of a perfectionist Luke thought.
Luke tapped his comm badge.
luke thought of Earth and couldnt supress yet another shudder that racked his body. In another 30 hours or so he would have to make a life or death choice about his mother....

OFF: This is after dinner
J'Leera thanked the Captain for the wonderful dinner and made her way back to her quarters. Even though it was still late and she was tired, she could not sleep very well. She kept finding herself sleepwalking and ending up in different places in her quarters. She feared that she'd begin walking out into the corridor before long.
She ignored it though, fearing that she'd be exposed if she went to sickbay and went to report in for duty in the morning.
As soon as she neared the turbolift, another dizzy spell hit her and she fell to the floor unconscious.

As Counselor, you know (or at least you're supposed to know by virtue of your position) in what ways it's best to approach the crew. That's what my character will be asking you.

After the dinner party was over, Felix and Tiffany were on their way to their quarters. When Tiffany received a hail from Mr. Lohnen, the new marine officer, she went to talk to him for a few moments. So she left of to find the marine deck leaving Felix to go to his quarters by himself.
While heading back he was thinking about all of what has happened during these past few days and decided to add to his log. So once he made his way to his quarters he changed his clothes and then sat on the couch in the living room.
=/\=Computer, First Officers personal log, SD 900702.=/\=
=/\=The past few days have been, well hectic really. But where do i start. After i have transferred to the TS we were sent on a at first was a routine mission, we had to check out an outpost, no one found anything strange about that, until they heard that it was an outpost on the dominion border..........=/\=
=/\=Computer erase entire log entry=/\=
=/\=Entry erased.=/\=
He couldn’t concentrate on writing a log it all seemed so useless to him, what's wrong with me he wondered. Am I afraid of the marriage? But i love her shouldn't that be enough? But it obviously is, what I to do am he thought. I can't sleep; i need to get out of here. He took of his commbadge and threw it on the bed before he left his quarters.
--Holodeck 2--
He went to the control pad. And pressed a few buttons to load program Savali alpha 2.
=/\=Program loaded=/\=, came the computer voice
After he heard that he entered. He saw Vic standing at the bar and drinking.
"Hey Felix, long time no see friend."
"Hi Vic"
"So how's it going, starship working fine?"
"Yea, its fine"
"Having cold feet before your wedding?"
"How did y... oh your right i suppose i am"
"Well no worries friend, i know you love her , and you know you love her."
"Yeah i know but"
"No buts my friend, come i need a piano player , mine is out with a cold"
"That piano plays by itself"
"You think the guests know that? Come on it’ll make you feel better, let's go"
And Vic managed to talk Felix into climbing on the stage and as soon as he sat at the piano the rest of the band appeared and the club filled to the last seat.
"Hit it, F"
And the piano started playing and Felix was trying to hit the keys that were played , after some time he got into it.

For two hours J'Leera lay unconscious on the floor of the corridor. Nobody had come by that way, so nobody saw her. After a while she began to stir and finally woke up. She sat up slowly with her hand of her head.
"What happened?" she wondered. She looked around and was nearly blinded by the intense white light. "Ouch!" she threw her hand over her eyes. "The corridor wasn't this bright before!"
The lights had bothered her earlier, but now they seemed even more intense. She quickly stuck her hand in the bag that she had and fumbled around for her sunglasses. They helped a lot and she thought that she'd be able to get to work.
Suddenly she realized how late it was. She gulped, wondering what she was supposed to do. I can't tell the Commander that I slept in! she thought. That'd be too obvious!
She realized that the only thing she could do was to report to sickbay and tell them what happened, hoping that they wouldn't find out too much.

- Marine CO's Office, Deck 5 Alpha -
The door chimed.
Löhnen: Enter
Counselor Rylka entered.
Rylka: You wanted a talk Lieutenant?
Löhnen: Yes Ma'am, I need some advice. Please have a seat. Can I get you anything? Coffee? Anything else?
Rylka: Raktajino please. [she sat down and looked around] Why are you so nervous Lieutenant?
Löhnen: Well, I'm not used to talking to shrinks....eh I mean counselors. No offence intended.
Rylka: [interrupting] None taken. Continue.
Löhnen: Well anyway, eversince I was promoted to Chief Marine Officer, I have felt an uneasiness in the crew as I or any of my Marine staff passed them. People seem to be anxious about having Marines on a Starfleet vessel. I know why they feel that way of course, but my question basically is: How can I make them see that Marines are members of Starfleet just like they are? How can I make them realise that the Marines on the Tigershark are bound by the same ideals and that they joined Starfleet for the same reasons as they did?
Rylka: Whhat makes you think people are anxious about you being on the ship?
Löhnen: It's not that they are anxious about me. At least not personally, but take Commander Wood for example. He did a great job in designing and building the Marine Deck, but he seemed far from happy doing it and even further from happy now that it's finished. [No offence Commander Wood, I'm just building out one of your previous posts. If you don't like it, let me know and I'll change it.] How do I take that feeling away? Should I ask the Captain to speak to them about the matter? Should I ask the Captain to assemble the crew so I can lecture them on what it really means to be a Marine? Should I send a memo round? That's what I wanted to ask you, because you know the crew and their reactions probably better than I do.
Rylka: I see your point Lieutenant.
TAG: Counselor

Joint post: Buster and J’Leera
Buster had a great time during the dinner and had just walked back to sickbay to shut a few things down. He was about to go to his quarters, and since sickbay was quite empty there wasn't really any reason to keep it on full power. He was just about to put the lights into low power mode when he heard the doors open behind him. He turned around...
J'Leera stumbled into sickbay, trying her hardest not to fall flat on her face. Fortunately for her, the good doctor was nearby.
Buster noticed J'Leera and instantly stopped what he was doing and ran to support her. "What's the matter?" he asked.
She squinted her eyes and took the sunglasses off. "Can't stand up straight..." she mumbled. She lost her footing and began to fall. Buster managed to catch her.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll take you to one of the beds" he said, and dragged her to the nearest bed he could find. With a bit of help from J'Leera, Buster was able to get her on the bed. He grabbed a medical device from the table next to him and began some scans.
"Lie still" He told J'Leera. She nodded and closed her eyes. She was still feeling very dizzy and felt like she was about to lose consciousness again.
Buster finished his scans. "This is odd, this isn't like anything I have seen before”. "Hang on, I'll be right back!" he said, and ran to the console on the other side of the room and began hitting some keys. After a while he ran back to J'Leera. "Could you tell me how you feel?" he asked.
"Dizzy," she answered. "Can't eat," she paused for a second and then decided to just tell everything. She was just getting too sick and couldn't handle it anymore. "I also can't sleep. Last night I kept finding myself sleepwalking."
Buster nodded and picked up another medical device from the table. He held it near J'Leera's neck. "This might sting a bit". He quickly injected it. "I think you should feel better now, correct?" he asked.
"A little," she answered. "But not much. It's supposed to work better than that isn't it?"
Buster panicked a little. "Ehr... yes... It should..." he mumbled. "This is very strange indeed...” He paused for a second, and then said “If I am to help you, I need to know when all this first started".
She gulped and wondered if she should tell. She thought about it for a second or two and then relented. "Okay, I'll tell you what happened. This is going to sound very strange, I must warn you."
Buster smiled. "I seem to have become quite used to strange things... Go ahead" he said.
"I was bitten," she said slowly. "By Commodore S..." just as she was about to say the name, she fell back unconscious.
Buster was still gasping at her. It took him almost a minute to notice that J’Leera probably wouldn’t be saying anything more for a while. He was thinking of waking J’Leera up again, but decided that it would be best for the patient to rest, while he could try to figure out what could possibly be the matter…

Luke sat at his station, sub conciously guiding the ship through the Terran System.
He had been thinking about the decisions relating to his mother for the last hour. The conclusion he came to was a grave one. He had decided that rsigning from Starfleet was his only option. He could not be responsible for her death but he could allow her to be put into care, the only option was for him to leave Starfleet and look after his mother who would soon become brain damaged.
He sighed deeply while making a minor course adjustment to the ship, he didnt notice the blip in the sensor readings. Luke smiled at the thought of the fun and dangerous times he had had in Starfleet already and couldnt believe that it would soon be ending. That was when he noticed the sensor blip.
=^= Lt. Jg Dowding to Captain K'Vada. I think you should come to the bridge sir, I have just picked up a sensor anamoly moving in close proximity to the Tiger Shark.=^=
=^= Aknowledged Lt. Any idea what is is? =^=
=^= Negative Sir. I believe it may be a cloaked ship, but I am not positive. =^= Luke replied.
=^= I am on my way Lt. Act as if you have not seen it until I have arrived. Whatever it is can not be chased away! K'Vada out! =^=
Luke immediately began to run a full scan of the anamoly in question. Tachion pulses were being emitted, he was sure tha it was an old cloaked vessel. With a new task to hand Luke totally forgot about resination, for now...

Capt. K'Vada walked over to the Thirteen at the tactical station. "Thirteen what do you think what it is?" Sam asked "Don't know , Sir." Thirteen replied "It looks like something I have seen already." "mmmm." Sam said and thought deep "Mr. Wood, are the sensors malfunctioning?" "No, Sir. I've just checked them." Wodd replied. "Contact Starfleet command Mr. Wood." Sam replied With that the Face of Section Admiral Duke Nova appeared on the viewscreen. "Hello Capt. What can I do for you?" Nova asked. "Sir, our sensors are detecting tachion beams and we haven't got a clue yet. Do you also see them?" Sam asked. "wait a minute." Nova said and muted the transmission and was talking to someone. The mute went of. "I think I have an explenation. We are conducting experiments with a new microprobe. It has a small cloaking device and I think it isn't set properly. Is the frequency 0.7843 Mhz?" Sam looked to Wood and Wood nodded. "Yes it is, Sir." Sam answered. "Than it is our probe. Can you beam in onboard and bring it back? I'll sent you the deactivating codes." Nova asked "We'll do." Sam replied "Tiger Shark out." And the screen went blank. "Sir, we're receiving the codes." Wood replied "Good Cmdr. Deactiave the probe and beam it in cargobay 2."Sam ordered. In a minute a probe appeared and it was beamed away. "Good. Mr. Dowding set a course for Earth, max. Impulse." Sam ordered. "Done Sir. we'll be there in one hour." Dowding replied ==^==Capt. K'Vada for Cmdrs. Savali and Rylka. We arrive at Earth in one hour.==^==
OFF: ok let's have that wedding.

- Marine Deck, 0600 -
It was 0600 and Lieutenant Löhnen and Gunnery Sergeant O'Connor came out of the Marine CO's office. They had clearence from the Captain to add some of the crew to the Marine detail. It was rather early, but both men were looking forward to the day. Whistling cheerfully, they entered the Holoroom.
In the Holoroom, the Marines and crew were already assembled and waiting. The hologrid was still visible and no projections were made yet, safe for a wooden platform in front of the crew. The moment the doors slid open, a heavy voice shouted, "Officers on deck!" Lieutenant Löhnen and Sergeant O'Connor stepped onto the platform and faced the assembled crww for a moment. Than, Danny broke the dead silence. "At ease!" The crew relaxed a it, awaiting what was coming. "I am Lieutenant Löhnen, CO of the Marines on the Tigershark. On my right hand is Gunnery Sergeant O'Connor, my XO (Off: Captain, I know you're the CO, but since I am Department Head of the Marines and O'Connor is my Assistant Department Head, I've termed it Marine CO and Marine XO respectively. Ultimately of course, you are in Command of the Marines). Today, you will do a rapid training curse. For the Marines, it is obligatory and you will face many more of these sessions, a lot of them will be a lot harder. For the Naval crew it is a voluntary course. You are under no obligations this time, but completing this training course will count as your annual check up. After this course you only have to be medically cleared for another six months of service."
The crew looked apprehensive, but they showed no signs of intention to leave the holodeck. Some even looked rather eager to start. Danny added with a smile ad twinkling eyes, "Welcome to Boot Camp boyes and girls!" The two Marine Officers stepped off the platform and Danny walked towards a console in the wall. He punched in a few buttons which locked the door. Next, the wooden platform disapeared. The crew looked on, not knowing what to expect. Gunnery Sergeant O'Connor placed himself n front of the crew, spread his legs and faced them. "Form lines! There are 75 of you. I want three neat lines of 25 persons each! Staff Sergeants, make sure everyone is in the right position. Come on people let's move! You have 30 seconds!"
O'Connor's clear deep voice echoed through the Holoroom. Danny stood watching from the side of the Holoroom. The lines formed quickly. When everyone stood in line and the room was quiet once again, he calmly addressed the computer. "Computer, open trainingprogram Löhnen Alpha 1"
The Holoroom changed significantly. Suddenly and enormous, ancient forest appeared out of thin air. Enormous trees surrounded the crew, who watched the wood with interest. There were three paths, each leading in a different direction.
Danny positioned himself in front of the crew and explained what they would do today. "Each squad goes in a different direction. After about a 5 miles' quick marching, you will reach a testing site. Each test is just as trying as the others, so you don't have to worry about who is more tired when he or she arrives at the next test. Your Staff Sergeants will explain each test and will make sure that you give it your utmost best. Gunnery Sergeant O'Connor and I will tour the area and supervise each test. At 20.00 hours tonight, we will rendez-vous here and close the day with a meal together. Your lunch will be served in the field. Medics will be present on site to administer first aid should you get hurt during a test. If you have any questions, you can always ask your Staff Sergeant, Gunnery Sergeant O'Connor or myself. Do your best, give everything you got and above all, have fun! Dismissed!"
After these last words, the Staff Sergeants took their squads up the different roads and Danny and Liam O'Connor slowly walked to a earby Humvee. So far, all had gone well. They were curious what the rest of the day would bring. It was a first time that they had trained Marines and this was a good way to start.
I'll continue the crew training later, because I have no more time now.

Joint Post: Buster and J'Leera
A few hours had passed when J’Leera finally woke up. She vaguely heard a low beeping noise and she looked up to see the doctor leaning down over her. “Huh? What?” she asked sleepily. “Who are you? Where am I?” she asked, very confused.
"Relax" Buster said. "You are still in sickbay". He looked even more confused than before. "I tried finding out about your condition, it seems to be some kind of strange disease... I think it is poison". He waited a bit and looked if J'Leera understood what he was saying. "You told me you were bitten?"
She nodded, "Yes. Commodore Sonak bit me on the neck. It was when I took the Vesuvius over to Starbase Bellicose from the Academy." She paused for a second and clutched her stomach. "Oh, I think you had better give me a container, I think I may loose my breakfast here."
Buster hurried of to fetch her a container. He ran back to J'Leera and gave it to her. "Do you want me to wait over there?" He asked politely. He wasn't sure if J'Leera was making any sense with being bitten by a commodore but right now he was more concerned with J'Leera's condition.
She held up her hand, asking him to wait. "No," she finally said. "It's gone now. I thought that I was going to throw up, maybe I will later.” She put the container now. “Well doctor, what do you think? Will I live?”
"Well I'm quite certain about that" Buster replied, "But it seems that your condition won't improve if we can't find a cure, and I must say that my attempts while you were unconscious haven't been too successful". He sighed. "Okay... so... you were bitten? By commodore Sonak? What do you mean, bitten? Has she gone crazy?"
“Bitten, as in taking a bite out of something with ones teeth,” she clarified. She stared back at the doctor’s surprised look. “I’m serious about this. I had just finished putting away a few things in the quest quarters when she came knocking at my door. At first her visit didn’t seem unusual, but…” she paused, trying to find the words to explain it. “The look in her eyes…I don’t know, I can’t explain it. It was as if I couldn’t move. Then she came up to be and bit me on the neck.”
"In the neck? You mean... like a vampire?"
"Like a what?"
Buster looked at J'Leera's puzzled face. "Sorry, you don't know what a vampire is do you?" But he could tell by the look on her face that she didn't, so he explained. "A vampire is someone who bites other people to suck out their blood. Vampires feed on blood. Sometimes the people who are bitten change into vampires as well... But vampires don't exist… They are but stories told to scare children". He paused and looked at J'Leera again. "Maybe... Would you mind if I take a look at your neck?" he asked.
“I don’t mind,” she answered and pulled the hair away from her neck. “Actually, this vampire sounds a lot like what the Commodore did.”
Buster jumped back when he saw the bite mark on J'Leera's neck. "That.... that can't be! Vampires aren't real!". He wanted to run but he pulled himself back together. "This is either some strange coincidence or you really HAVE been bitten by a vampire! Tell me... When did you say this happened?"
“I told you, a few days ago before I arrived on the Tiger Shark,” she explained. “Is Commodore Sonak a vampire? You just said that they weren’t real that they were stories used to frighten children. What’s true here?”
"I'm... I'm not sure..." Buster mumbled. "Tell me, did you ever feel the need to suck blood the past few days?" While he waited for a response he noticed the sunglasses near J'Leera's bed that almost confirmed his suspicion.
“Um…” she paused, unsure of what to say. It was very true, but now she felt very embarrassed to admit it. She looked back at his questioning look and sighed. “Yes, I did. But surely that can mean other things, can’t it?” she quickly added.
Buster gasped. "Mean other things? I don't think so... I'm not sure if your species often feels the urge to suck blood but I certainly don't! And what is with the sunglasses? Let me guess? You can't stand bright light anymore?!" Buster was now almost shouting at J'Leera.
She was somewhat taken back by his outburst, “What?” she gasped. “I mean, yes, yes I do! Bright lights bother me! What does this mean?” she asked, beginning to panic.
She was still lying on the table, but now she began to sit up and move away, alarmed by the doctor’s behavior.
Buster noticed J'Leera standing up. "You aren't going to bite me... are you?" he asked frightened. But he noticed that J'Leera was as panicked as he was. "No of course you are not..." he added. "I'm... I'm sorry. I am sure I can help you. Please sit down". He calmed down a bit. "I guess the stories have had quite an effect on me..." he smiled, mainly to comfort J'Leera a bit.
“I haven’t wanted to bite anyone for a while now,” she said, still eyeing him. She could see that he had calmed down, but his outburst had still alarmed her. Now she was wondering what the true implications of the disease were. What if she was a vampire? What would this mean for her and her career in Starfleet? She didn’t know what to make of it and was very frightened.
"That's... good" Buster replied. He was thinking of replicating some garlic but decided that probably wouldn't be such a clever idea. "I believe there are cures for vampirism... Not all end up with the vampire alive and well... but surely there must be some other way". Buster still couldn't believe that he was standing in front of a vampire. But he did realize the danger he was possibly in.
"Don't you think we should warn the captain first? This might be very dangerous,” he added.
She shrugged, “It’s your call. You’re the doctor, besides he’s probably wondering why I never reported for duty this morning.”
Buster nodded in agreement.
“I’m glad to hear that there are cures, I was starting to wonder if I was going to remain like this,” she said, calming down a little. “But what are you going to do with me? Confine me to the brig?”
"I think that's up to the captain" Buster said. One thing is certain... we can't take any risks. So far your situation is quite the same as the stories I've heard... Well, actually... all but one thing... the vampires in the story weren't friendly".
“Okay, well first let me grab a few things in my quarters and then I’ll move into one of the cells for a few days while you go and call the Captain,” she smiled.
Buster couldn't help but feel guilty. As far as he knew J'Leera hadn't done anything wrong. Besides, she was in no way able to leave the sickbay in her current state. Buster wasn't even sure if she was a vampire. As far as he knew vampires still weren't real and there was no way of knowing for sure. How could he tell the captain that J'Leera was a vampire and a potential threat?
"J'Leera?" Buster asked. "Maybe you should stay here. I'll contact the captain to tell him you won't show up for duty".
"Okay," she agreed that sounds good. "And thank you for not throwing me into the brig," she laughed. She glanced around the room at the other beds. "Looks like I'll be the only here for a while. Hopefully." She suddenly thought of something and her smile disappeared. "Oh, no! This mean's I'll miss the wedding!"
"I guess that's true. And I think the same goes for me... Unless someone else takes care of you during that time... and unless you want me to tell him or her about your current situation?" Buster asked.
“And tell them what? That I’m a vampire?” she asked. “I don’t know about that. Maybe we should let them enjoy themselves and let other people worry about this, like us. Anyway, we really need to get to the bottom of this. Vampire or not, Commodore Sonak still attacked me. We really need to inform the Captain about this and see what he says.”
"True. I will contact the captain right away. Commodores shouldn't be attacking people, vampire or not. Who knows who else is infected? Wait a second... that's a good question..." And with that said he walked to the console nearby to inform the captain.

"Medical officer Buster to the bridge"
"Commander Savali here, go ahead".
"I believe that lieutenant J'Leera is unable to fill her post the next few days. She seems to have a strange kind of disease".
"Affirmative" Savali replied.
"I also believe it may be necessary to contact the Vesuvius about the same matter. I have reasons to believe that Commodore Sonak of the Vesuvius is the reason behind J'Leera's condition".
"Please explain" Savali said.
"I'm not sure what exactly is going on, but it seems that both J'Leera and Sonak are infected with a strange disease. I think it is possible that even more people will be suffering from this if we don't act soon"
"Can you explain what we are dealing with, Doctor?" Savali asked.
"Like I said, I'm not exactly sure. But I did find out that Sonak may have attacked J'Leera because of the disease. And that it might be the reason that J'Leera is now also contaminated. I believe that is reason to investigate this further."
"I agree. If you learn anything more contact me" Savali said.
"Will do sir, Buster out"

Luke tapped his console and smiled relieved that the tachion emissions were just from Starfleet.
Luke stopped tapping and gasped, J'Leera was ill! Perhaps thats what had been affecting her back on the Bellicose as well! He was off duty in 2 hours. He thought that he would go down and see her.
****1 hour later****
"Captain K'Vada we are arriving at Earth so." Luke told the Capatin.
"Thankyou Lt. Standard Orbit." K'Vada replied.
"Aye sir, Standard Orbit." Luke responded.
Luke pressed the relevant buttons on his console and the ship slowly moved into Standard Orbit.
"Captain we are recieving a transmission from Starfleet Command." Said an Officer at the back whos name Luke did not know.
"Put it through." K'Vada ordered. The screen flickered and the image of an Admiral appeared on the screen. Luke did not know who this was either.
"Welcome to Earth Tiger Shark!" The unknown Admiral said.
"Thankyou Admiral, I take it everything is well here?" K'Vada replied.
"Yes, your Officers can beam down at any time." The Admiral smiled at the screen flickered off.
He was home. Now he had to face the music, as the saying goes...
