DAY 84 (fri) cont ...

Kirk and Endrol thanked Miss Root and asked if she would like to come with them. She thought about it but in
the end declined.

As they took off from the safety zone and entered orbit of the planet Kirk teleported Miss Root back to a safe
area in Grand Island. He then realised he was starving and dug out some ration bars to eat and handed some to
Mieon and Endrol.

It would take 128 minutes to get back to the Burung Mera planet going as fast the AS could (which wasn't very
fast!). The scanners showed a vast space battle taking place around this area of the planet. Judging by the scans
the Burung Mera favoured a spear head formation like a lance stabbing into one small area.
This gave the AS a sort of safe corridor to fly up, but as they ducked and weaved their way through the space battle
two Babi-Ijo pickets pealed off from a defence force formation and headed towards then.
They were local planetary vessels only, without warp, but had much faster impulse engines than the Aeroshuttle and soon
caught up.
Without even opening a comms channel they swooped in on an attack run.

Kirk was in the middle of planning their defence when a sudden attack of stomach trouble hit him. The anti-rads combined
with the miasma of the stinking Babi Ijo planet meant that the food he had gobbled down when he got back onboard the
shuttle was rebelling and coming back up again.

'Blurg!! If they come in range and don't have shields, just beam on board some HEAP grenades.' he gurgled from behind
the closed door of the ship's head.

Mieon shrugged, not being much use with either the replicator or the transporter, and looked at Endrol. All the
others were at battle stations so he replicated 10 HEAP grenades and transported them across to the pickets when
they came within the 20,000km range band.

Kirk was just getting back to his seat so got the satisfaction of seeing one of them being totally destroyed and
the other going sensor dark and start tumbling directionless in space.
'Good work', he said as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

Two hours later they were back at the Burung Mera planet and being hailed as heroes. They handed over the rescued eggs
and the six Burung Mera saved from the Taco restaurant.

There were several camera crews on the shuttle pad and even Endrol found a microphone being thrust into his face.
Asked about the battle he'd just come from, in regards to the suicide bombers he said,
'I question their methods...'
The smile died on the interviewers beak as he realised he wasn't going to get the jingoistic answers he was looking
for, but Mieon arrived in the nick of time and smoothed things over.

They were presented with gifts. Kirk was given a 'Huntsman's Rifle' , Mieon was given a large chest of expensive
clothes, jewels and perfumes and every member of the crew was given a gold medal.


DAY 85 (sat)

It turned out it would take two days for the shields to be installed. Kirk sent a message to Chakotay who replied,
'I expect a full report on return. Come immediately after shields are installed.'

In the morning they awoke and were met by their adoring public once more. Mieon managed to talk to a local news
anchor called Tebby Scote, a young female with pink plumage. He asked her if there were any anti war people on the
planet and she said their was. She said she would put them into contact with a group called the #FourFeathers.

Mieon and Endrol worked together today on finding ways to end the conflict between the Babi Ijo and the Burung Mera,
but soon realised it would take more than two days.

Kirk worked on his MATSE project and enlisted the help of Crewman Dell and Crewman Rumbleton.

In the evening a grav-limo arrived containing international celebrities including Robin Wilyams, Laura Flocks,
Cluck Norris, Tylor Swift and Rusyell Crowe.

All of the AS crew were taken to a nightspot about an hour away called 'The Roost.'

Mieon was the life and soul of the party and hung out with the musical set for a while.

Kirk tried to chat-up Crewman Paterson but got nowhere.

Endrol had a fat bird from a hen night throw herself at him, but he threw her back again.

DAY 86 (sun)

At about 1 am they headed back to the shuttle pad where the AS was located.

In the morning Kirk worked on MATSE again, building his first prototype. Endrol helped.

Mieon went up to the observation deck of the shuttle pad and did some sketches of the beautiful Ruma Burung
landscapes.

Later that day she also got a message from the #Fourfeathers and she told them that if they wanted to make
contact with anti-war people on Ruma Babi they could try and find Miss Root of Grand Island.


DAY 87 (mon)

At 0100 hours the shields were fitted and Kirk got the AS away as quickly as he could, not wanted to hold
up Voyager any further.

The director of the reality TV show that was being made about the Aeroshuttle's crew came up and asked him
if the could send a film crew with them but Kirk declined.

Once they were heading back to Voyager Mieon scanned the AS for bugs and found six listening devices, presumably
planted there by Burung Mera media.

At 1500 hours they arrived back at Voyager and all were given the once over by the Doctor. When the Doctor learned
that Endrol was also a medic he asked him to take a look at Crewman Yosa who was lying on a bed groaning and clutching
his stomach.

Endrol checked him out and saw that he'd eaten 'Alien Bug Worms'. A stomach pump was the best answer.
The Doctor let Endrol perform the procedure. It was a messy business and due to his cultural nature Endrol did not
perform it very well, but he did well enough and the Doctor grudgingly acknowledged it would be good to have another
medic onboard.

Meanwhile Kirk had reported to Chakotay who ushered him into his ready room and said,
'Well, lets here it.'

Initially Kirk tried to spin his story to try and cover up the things he thought he may have done wrong, but Chakotay
could see it and said,
'I can tell you are disseminating Ensign. Just give it to me straight, it has to be a good enough story to get past Tuvok
otherwise he'll insist on pulling the plug on the Aeroshuttle.'

So Kirk started again, but this time told the complete truth and by the time he'd finished Chakotay had his face buried
in his hands.
With a heavy sigh he rubbed his eyebrows and said, 'Leave this with me, I'll talk to the Captain and see if we can save
everyone the bother of another court martial. Get everyone's reports to me by 1900. Dismissed!'

Kirk sent messages to Dell, Paterson and Rumbleton to get their reports in. When he messaged Mieon she sent one back
asking him to come to her cabin. Having never written a Starfleet report before she felt she needed a little help.

Endrol was invited to speak with the Captain later this day. Captain Janeway welcomed him into her ready room and they
talked. She'd found his home planet and told him they were some 200 LY away from it. She thought that it would take
Voyager about 100 days to get back there and she would be happy to take him there as it was more or less on the route
Voyager was planning to take.
'If you agree to help out in med bay we can get you back there as quickly as we can.'
Endrol agreed.
Next she summoned Crewman William McKenzie who was to be Endrol's room mate. McKenzie took Endrol down to Deck 9
and showed him is quarters.

Mieon finished her report and went to Sandrine's at Paris's invitation. Kirk was brooding so went back to his cabin
and worked until 2300.

At 2200 Paris shut down the holo-program of Sandrine's and Mieon also returned to her cabin.
