The hull of the small ship creaked and moaned as it moved through space in the COMMENDATIONS wake. By now even the inadequate sensors that made up the ships simple sensor array could see the large sophisticated mass that was GATEWAY. Thomas’ eyes slowly looked through the information on his screen as the readings began to pour in. His mind, which was generally occupied by his experiments on mass cellular regeneration, was now focused on his savior, or as he likes to call her captor and the possibility of being forever stuck with her in an unknown space.
Many times he and the only one he could still feel anything for, no matter how twisted it was, Eishnala had discussed trying to leave or take the ship by force. The conversations generally ended with both Thomas and Eishnala engaged in heated and physical “interaction”, most of which could be heard through the bulkheads nearby and felt by both parties in the morning. As a small curl appeared on the lips of his scared face, Thomas showed a small sign of happiness before it was stolen.
“Varn report,” were the words that echoed and vibrated across the bulk heads.

“Thomas, what do you have,” was all Thomas needed to know Daisy was in the area.
Standing up normally, Thomas twitched slightly as his face tightened as the stiff muscles in his back made their presence known. Letting his face hold this position for a few seconds until the momentary pain subsided, Thomas turned and looked at the small envoy that was with Daisy.
“Well to be honest some of the alloys used match standard alloys used by Starfleet in hull configuration and others match alloys that would be used in personal ships,” he said walking to another area of debris, “the only thing that puzzles me is this area of debris seems to show qualities of a large impact with something solid, but nothing like a torpedo strike.”
The combined team of engineering and science personnel continued to work together in hope of identifying what is left of the debris and what could have happened. The only fact that everyone could agree on was that there were remnants of at least two different, but their identity has yet to be confirmed.
The small envoy of command staff from both the GATEWAY and the COMMENDATION followed Thomas slowly as he continued an explanation of the debris scatter out before them. Slowly officer by officer moved away to check anything that would catch their eyes, before only Thomas, Daisy, Anaqueen, Eishnala, and G’blok were left.
“So, Mr. Varn your stating to us that your having difficulties determining what this debris is,” G’blok as very bluntly.
Standing up from his squatted position and shaking his head Thomas’ eyes slowly changed to yellow, as irritation set in, for the firs time after his surgery,” no sir, we known that piece of debris is what is left of an outer bulkhead and this is a piece of a sensor pallet, oh and that is a part of a nacelle. What we don’t know is which ship or ships this collection of debris was once apart of.”
It wasn’t that the simple question was bothering Thomas, but the ever present pain in his back was. Trying his best to hide the discomfort Thomas could feel Daisy’s eyes burning a hole through his head. Shifting in his place Thomas slowly breathed in before Daisy excused both Thomas and herself from the area.
Looking around Daisy’s eyes changed from a solid look of commanding officer to a look of more motherly concern, “Thomas, is there something that you need to tell me?”
Looking at Daisy, Thomas breathed in and refrained from saying anything. The silence wasn’t something Daisy wanted to hear and she reached out and put her hand on his back near where she knew the muscles would be stiff. Jerking slightly Thomas looked at her thinking he knew full and well what she was going to say.
Stepping back Daisy looked at him and breathed in deeply, “Lieutenant, I’m giving you an option. Either you take that coat off at some point today and exercised those muscles as they need to be or the coat will come off and remain for as long as you remain a Starfleet officer.”
The yellow in Thomas eyes slowly dissipated before being replaced with hues of purple and blue, “Yes mam.”

“What do you mean it’s a terran facility? There is nothing that large known to be created by Terrans.
Thomas’ scarred eyes which constantly remained a bloodshot red turned to his captor, “If you don’t like my readings then why don’t you go “save” a better scientist, oh that’s right you can’t we are someone where you don’t know anyone.”
Daisy walked over and a clenched fist went across Thomas face before a twisted smile was shown on hers, “maybe if you would be a nice doggy I would invite you to my quarters, but for now continue to do your job.”
As his head jerked slightly to the right his eye closed before his injured tear duct began to bleed causing a tear of blood. Turning back to her, he saw the sick smile that he remembered she was wearing the day she just happened to save him before she leaned down licking the tear from his cheek. As the muscles in his face began to twitch from anger his lip began jumping.
Licking her lip Daisy just winked at Thomas then looked to Eishnala who was intently staring as if she would kill Daisy if she did what she did again, “I believe I’ve found a pressure point and a new toy.”
Scene: SHIV Sickbay
Thomas slowly walked into the sickbay after being ordered and generally dragged there by Daisy’s so called security officers. Standing there, beside what would pass for a biobed in his universe, was Kate waiting on him with almost wanting in her eyes. Sitting down reluctantly Thomas looked directly to the woman before grabbing her wrist and squeezing it keeping her from beginning.
“I am not an experiment of yours Nuimon, and I do know what every instrument you would use on me and should use on me looks like. No tricks just scan me and get this over with and I promise you will live to full fill your blood lust and experimentations another day,” was all that Thomas would say to Kate before throwing her hand back to her and sitting there watching her every move.

Scene: Holosuite 2
Standing there as the wind blew across his face Thomas tried his best to relax. It had been quite a while since he was able to do this, but he had started to enjoy the idea of flying more and more. Even though Daisy had ordered him to do this Thomas had ensured along with the lead engineer that they work on the debris would continue. It was by a streak of luck that they had managed to verify hull signature of the USS TUSCARORA an intrepid ship that had been assigned to the Gamma Quadrant.
Little did Thomas or anyone know that the paitents and survivors brought in by the COMMENDATION, had all been released and were now free to roam the base, all of them. It was just that luck that one in particular had taken interest in the holosuites and walked in just as Thomas left from the ledge he was standing on exercising his muscles.
