=/\= This Coup Is Brought to You By The Letter C and the Number 1 continued from Joy's "Meteor Complications" =/\= Location: USS STONEHENGE Scene: Science Labs "Hello my little chickeee," Cade drawled as he wandered into the Science Lab. "And what are the little lab rats up to these days?" Lt. Eruhini, a lovely Pentaran, turned her head to see the civillian doctor come into the labs. Furrowing her brow she asked, "What do you want?" Cade grinned at the aCSciO as he went wandering around the labs. "You know I always loved how strong you are in your opinions. How true you stay to your convictions." Eruhini just gave the doctor a sharp look. "Is there a reason why you're here Dr. Foster?" "Just here to offer you comfort in your time of need," Cade smiled as he made himself comfortable at a terminal. Eruhini studied the doctor. "Time of need?" Cade smiled. "Well you know now that wingboy went fluttering away like the little sparrow that we all knew him to be, why everyone is talking about how Ens. Strobt is looking for this to be his moment." After a pause he said a bit more forcefully, "You know maybe now is when he'll grow a few chest hairs and take over Sciences and remake it in his superboy ways." Leaning in he said in a conspiratorial stage whisper, "I even heard that he got on his special underroos for the occassion." It didn't take long for Eruhini's temper to flare. She had worked and slaved in Sciences, and now that there was a free Chief spot that little shit Strobt was going to show her up. "Over my dead body," she growled. Thumping a fist on the table she said, "This is not his time of need. I have slaved and worked in Sciences for too long to let that little twit take over." Pumping his fist in the air Cade grinned, "You go girl, you don't let that man put you down. You are woman I hear you roar." Suddenly Cade stopped and frowned. "Although there is one problem." Eruhini growled at that. "What problem?" "See Strobt is already working in astrology -- " "It's astronomy." "Same difference," Cade waved off. "Anyways our little he-boy has taken it upon himself to discover what has been causing the meteor storms on NOCTURIA..." =/\= Scene: Corridor TI: Ten minutes ago "Strobt, my boy," Cade called out as he wandered down the hallway. "Wait up." The Deltan male stopped and turned around. "Yes," he said softly. Cade caught up to the man and grinned. "So have I told you how dashing you would look in the Senior Staff meetings?" "Can't say that's ever--" Strobt began. "Of course that won't happen with Eruhini getting all Xena-Princess Warrior on us and taking over," Cade continued on. "Why rumor has it that she's getting ready to put her own special stamp all over Sciences." Cade looked around before whispering in a sotto voice, "Of course you know where that leaves you." "No! I'm not going back to Counseling," Strobt hissed. "They're all crazy! Crumby makes the most sense and HE DOESN'T EVEN TALK BECAUSE HE'S A HORTA!" "I hear you, I hear you my boy," Cade nodded sympathethically. Nibbling his lip he said, "Well of course there's always...no, no, I can't say." Strobt was breathing heavy, trying to control the panic attack at the thought of going back to Counseling. "What? Tell me. I'm not leaving Sciences just because Eruhini is a vicious predator." "Well..." Cade offered with a "pained" expression, "don't tell anyone I told you but I bet if you could figure out what the deal is with the meteor storms on NOCTURIA..." =/\= Scene: Science Labs TI: Sometime later Cade was grumbling as he kept typing away at the computer terminal when the doors to the Labs opened up. "Cripes be almighty, I can get fricking crochet patterns for various parts of the male anatomy but a little porn they won't let me watch." "You set us up to work against each other," Strobt accused as Eruhini came in with him. Cade looked up at the two Scientists. "So do either of you know how to get porn on this thing?" "You made us work against each other when we could have been helping each other," Eruhini argued as she slapped her PADD down. Cade sighed and stopped (momentarily) looking for porn to look up and indulge in another of his favorite activities: pontificating. "Or...wait for it...I created a double blind test to figure out what was going on with NOCTURIA and the meteor showers. See if one of you got an answer either it's right or you picked the wrong answer when you threw the dart up on the chart of possible answers. This way when I go to the brass and say how I--" "You?" "You?" "Oh whatever, fine *we* figured this out," Cade said. Grabbing the PADDs he scanned one then the other. "Interesting this actually worked." Slapping his commbadge he called out, "Foster to the Bridge." There was a moment before Pol'Gra answered. [[Yes, Doctor? Is there a problem?]] "Right we here in Sciences--" [[And you're in Sciences why?]] Pol'Gra asked. "Because leadership steps up and takes Command and doesn't run away," he said with a glare to the officers. "Now right we here in Sciences have discovered something – that we're causing more harm to NOCTURIA than help." Pol'Gra paused for a moment. [[And how did you come to this conclusion?]] Cade rubbed his chin while reading the PADDs. "Cause...uhm...oh yes here we go, this area of space is really dirty. Not like the dirty sex kind of dirty but there is alot of astral crap here. It's the way the system was formed – there is just a higher percentage of ice, dust, and rocky particles here. Those three things, by the way, create comets. Now when large objects come into contact with comets they form meteors. Now with NOCTURIA's gravitation pull, the meteors are more drawn to there than to other places and it looks soooo pretty because....wait for it...it's a meteor shower. Right so anyway we're causing more meteor showers on the surface right about...now." =/\= NRPG: There you go – nothing for the surface but let's see...Cade has taken over Sciences and the Scientists established that the area around NOCTURIA is especially "dirty" (or just filled with more ice, dust and rocks than other areas – also known as comets). So anyways because of this any astral traffic would cause more meteor showers so for those on the surface – it's raining! Jamie: Thank you for helping – just for that I gave you a special shout out in the post. Did ya get it? *grins* =/\= Sarah Albertini-Bond Lt.
