********** Scene: Transporter Room. Scribonia, Jiapa, and Lite shimmer into existence on the pad. Transporter Operator: Welcome back. So, this is the kid, hey? He reaches out a hand to pat Lite on the head. Lite stares in horror at Transporter Operator, then reaches up and grabs the hand, biting down hard on it. Transporter Operator: OOOOOWWWWWW! Scribonia: (amused) Transporter Operator, didn't anybody ever teach you not to pet strange dogs? Jiapa: (also amused) Come on Lite, I'll show you what a real Federation ship's counselor's room looks like! Lite: Oh boy. Thrills. (follows Jiapa out into the corridor, looking over his shoulder at the Transporter Operator, who is standing looking back at him, holding his hand.) In the corridor: Scribonia: Well Jiapa, are you planning on doing tests on the boy? Jiapa: Oh yes. With such a young subject, I may be able to learn a lot about Hidden Valley Rancher base psychology. When we get to my cabin, we can play some games; won't that be fun, Lite? Lite? (looks around). Uh-oh. ******* Captain's Log, Stardate 201498. We have taken the remains of the HVR fighter under tow and are proceeding to starbase LMC1. I have absolved the crew of the Nash of any responsibility in the incident, and they are free to continue on their regular trade route. Review of the logs from the Nash show no measured transporter activity from the HVR ship following their encounter with it. On Scribonia's recommendation I'm having McDonagh and a computer specialist sent over to recover the ship's logs, in hopes we might learn what happened to the crew. ********
