”=/\= Anders to Sickbay, we’ve got wounded on Holodeck One, stand by for emergency transport. =/\=”

Henry took a step back. “You’re gonna be okay, Cadet. Just stay calm.” I swear I’ve seen someone that looks just like her somewhere he thought. Maybe in one of those old shows they taught about in History of Media… The word Buttercup came to mind, but he couldn’t for the life of him say why.

“Wait, this is strange,” Benem furrowed his brow as he looked at his tricorder. “Before there ere nine, now there are only five,” he explained the data out loud, for the benefit of his companions. “From what I understand about tribbles they multiply, not reduce in population. Unless the other four are elsewhere on Deck Five…”

He didn’t get a chance to finished–just then something dropped onto his head. Immediately he tried to shake it off, “Ugh! What is it? Is it a spider!?”

Suddenly, an idea flashed across Kyle’s mind, “Henry, I’ve got an idea to get rid of the tribbles, remember the training programme? More specifically, the transport com badges?”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Outgoing Chief of Security-

Cadet Rodier snapped out of his musings, and turning to the Lieutenant said “I think I see where you’re going with this, sir.” He edged over to the nearby tribble, waiting for Anders to establish the correct com badge mode.

“Computer, initiate phase two of Security Endurance Programme Charlie 65.” The hologrid shifted around the three officers, to be replaced by a holographic mock-up of the Challenger’s armory. Kyle grabbed two cases of the specially modified com badges from a rack and tossed them to the cadets, “Use these,” he was having to shout over the chorus of Tribble purring. “Cadet d’Qorvos, follow Cadet Rodier’s lead.” The security chief began tagging Tribbles to be transported into escape pods, “=/\= Anders to Bridge, we have a problem down here, but I have a plan, stand by. =/\=”

Henry looked at the Tribble in front of his feet and, tapping a modified badge a few times, placed it on the beast. “Ben, you have the tricorder, you take the lead.” he said, turning to his fellow Cadet. With some amusement, he reached out with one hand and removed the object from atop the panicking d’Qorvos’s head, marking it for transport in the progress.

Ben smiled sheepishly when Rody took the tibble off of his head and caught the modified comm badges that the Chief tossed at him, taking a quick moment to examine one. He wasn’t completely sure of what the Lieutenant’s idea was, but it was clear that he meant to transport the tribbles to somewhere they’d be better able to deal with them. At the rate they reproduced would it be enough? He placed one and linked it to his tricorder, which should still be directly linked to the Tactical and Security station on the bridge.

“If we widen the confinement beam of each transporter badge, we should be able to transport a few at a time,” he mentioned. “Also, I think I can initiate the transport from here.”
