DAY 60 (thu)

A regular duty day for all Star Fleet personnel.

Videk helped out in Engineering but when he went back to his cabin for lunch he found
his distraught wife, Dhael Toranni, complaining about the monkey making lots of noise
from Noxus's cabin. She left for the mess hall in disgust.

Listening at the door Videk decided not to go in. It sounded like the monkey was trashing
Noxus's cabin.

In the mess hall Neelix was cooking up some nice spicey yak meat. Ensign Burns sampled
the Klingon Vindaloo and found that his stomach could just about handle it.

Neelix asked Videk to help him re-route some power supplies in the Captain's private
dining room and with slight unease the Romulan did so.

Neelix sent Ensign Kirk down to Engineering to scavenge for parts, but Torres just grumped
at him, 'This isn't a junk yard!', so he went to the cargo bays and 'acquired'
what he had been sent for.

Meanwhile, Ensign Burns, ever the joker, when asked to help make a hole in the
wall through to the messhall, took out his phaser set it to wide beam and burned
a huge hole in it!

Lieutenant J. Lyman yelled furiously at the young Ensign and when he was met with
a rather cheeky attitude put him on report and docked his replicator rations.

In the evening Videk found that the space monkey had still not been attended to. Noxus,
it appeared, was out piloting for an asteroid scanning mission and would not be back
tonight.

Videk, with his ear to the door, could hear whimpering...


DAY 61 (fri)

Reporting for duty in the morning Videk learned from Torres that her next big
plan was to convert the Auxiliary Impulse Reactor into a crude Dilithium Refinery.

Videk scoffed,  'The Romulan Artificial Singularity Warp core is far superior.'

Torres rolled her eyes, but was glad of his help.

When reporting for lunch the crew found that Neelix had made himself a kitchen!
When the Captain saw that her dining room had been converted though she was less
than delighted.
She took Neelix away for a talking to and Ensign Parsons was put in charge of the
cooking.

When Noxus finally showed up from his away mission Videk tracked him down and told him
sternly, 'Deal with your monkey!'

Noxus sighed, put down his kit bag, and cautiously entered his cabin. Everything that
could have been chewed or pooped on had been chewed and pooped on. Noxus replicated a
banana and tried to lure the monkey out from under the bed.

When the monkey came out he shot at it with his phaser attempting to stun it, but missed
and the creature fled. A minute later two security personnel arrived and took his weapon
away.

(Later this incident, and Burn's earlier misendeavour prompted the following bulletin
from the captain:

Re: Discharge of weapons in crew quarters.

I find it hard to believe that I have to re-state this, but weapons are not to be kept in crew
quarters unless signed off by senior staff and certainly not discharged without a good reason.

There have been several instances over the last few weeks of away team members 'forgetting' to
hand their weapons back in at the armouries before returning to duty or reporting to Med Bay.

These are busy and difficult times, but that is no excuse for ignoring protocol.

No one should have a reason for carrying a weapon on board Voyager without permission,
especially civilians.

If anyone sees a weapon in crews quarters report it at once. If anyone sees a civilian with a
weapon anywhere on board then report it.

Anyone not complying with these regulations will be fined replicator rations, face the brig or
ultimately face the possibility of being kicked off the ship.

You have been warned!

-Janeway

In the evening, Voyager arrived at what the crew called a 'Rogue Planet' and an away team
of Chakotay, Neelix and Kim beamed down.

Something went wrong though and Janeway swamped the place with security teams. Ensign
Kirk found himself in charge of 'Team Random' once more, consisting of himself,
Videk (acting as the science officer) and Noxus (trying to earn brownie points with the
Captain).

They were beamed down into a network of caverns near to where the incident had happened.
As they news came in they were told that some strange alien had used a device that literally
beamed the lungs out of Neelix's chest.

With trepidation they slowly explored the caverns. Noxus thought he saw something but said
nothing. They all tried to use their tricorders but there was too much interference.

Suddenly a shot was fired at them and they returned fire. They caught a glimpse of a
shadowy robed figure fleeing into the darkness.

They gave chase and were shot at by more of the mysterious enemy. The running firefight
consisted of many wild shots and misses, but each of them was hit by the strange alien
beam weapon at least once but they all still had their organs intact afterwards.

They killed one of the aliens, then two more. Examining the bodies they could see that
they were dealing with hideous creatures that looked like they had been sewn together
from spare parts. They wore long black robes and carried weapons that looked like half
medical tricorders , half phaser.

Coming to a sort of dead end and wondering where the last one had gone to they scanned
for hidden things and Videk detected a forcefield that gave the illusion of being part
of the cavern wall.

Once they had disabled the forcefield they entered a sort of hospital/lab area and shot
the last of the aliens. They took what things were on the bodies and beamed back to
Voyager which was now in pursuit of a fleeing alien vessel.

It wasn't long before the Away Teams started reporting back to the Med Bay. Kirk and his team
witnessed a bit of pantomime when the Doctor slapped Paris to show that holograms could have
mass when questioned about how Neelix's replacement holographic lungs worked.

While in Med Bay Noxus arranged for his monkey to be returned to quarantine for a week.


DAY 62 (sat)

Kirk, Noxus and Videk were discharged from Med Bay in the morning and excused duties for the day.

Meanwhile Voyager followed the alien vessel's ion trail to an asteroid and inside a hollowed
out area. It was a sort of hall of mirrors were they were presented with hundreds of realistic images of
the alien ship.

Voyager was put on red alert and Kirk reported to the D6A.

News filtered down to the crew that the ship was being drained of power as the alien vessel took warp power
directly from the nacelles.

Commander Chakotay had the idea of 'using a phaser at low power as a search light' and they found the
aliens by this method.

Two aliens were beamed on board and the Captain interrogated them. Ensign Kirk was present when she gave
an impassioned speech to the Vidiians but then ultimately let them go with a warning never to harm anyone
in her care ever again.

The Vidiians then agreed to help Neelix and Kes donated one of her lungs to him.

Back in his cabin Videk was being nagged by his wife. She insisted that it was unacceptable that all his
equipment and weapons were being held by Star Fleet. It was his duty as a Romulan, she posited, that he
should do everything in his power to get them back.

DAY 63 (sun)

Ensign Kirk had half a days duty today, then talked to the Delaney sisters in the afternoon.

Videk had an interview with Tuvok in regards to his equipment but was told 'Not yet'.

Tuvok was not getting much peace from 'Team Random' as Noxus approached him later in the mess hall
asking for a 'Back up of the Doctor'.
Tuvok explained to the cardassian that the EMH was already well looked after by Voyager operations personnel.

In the evening Dhael told Videk, 'If they won't give you the equipment, then steal them!'

DAY 64 (mon)

As usual Ensigns Kirk, Burns were on duty in the D6A and Videk was helping out in Engineering.

Noxus was bored though and since he had a small amount of skill in hairdressing he decided to set himself
up as the ships barber.

On Voyager Crewman Hamilton was the part time appointed barber but he was delighted to handover to someone
else more willing so he let Noxus try out on his next customer.

This was Crewman Emmanuel and Hamilton judged the resulting ministrations of Noxus to be adequate enough.
As he left Hamilton handed over the scissors and patted Noxus on the back,
'It's all yours buddy.'

Noxus's barbershop was just a small cabin on Deck 8 and it would only get one or two customers a day, but
at least he would make a few grams of replicator rations in tips he supposed.

Also this day Videk approached Chakotay about his demands but was told, 'That's Tuvok's business.'

Filled with frustration and anger, in the evening he began programing a sub-routine to hack into the
Voyager network...
