After the staff meeting Casela left and headed to Fenrir’s maintenance bay. She was seething. Someone had changed his alert program. She walked into the bay and looked around at the NEs. Forget being Betazoid, she was doing this the old fashioned way. It would scare them more. “Fenrir, I need you to shut down for awhile so I can run some maintenance checks on your system.” She saw one of the NEs poke another in the side. “Don’t even think about going anywhere.” She stepped back out and across to one of the lockers and began putting her weapons into it and then she closed and locked it.

She reentered the bay. “Who was on duty in here today?!” her voice lashed out. The NEs looked at each other. “Okay let’s do this, how about I run the security tapes and find out?” She went and pulled the maintenance roster for the day. She had left the iso chip that Manhattan had given her so that Fenrir’s programming could be updated. She looked around for the chip. She found a chip and when she plugged it in and started looking at it, the programming was wrong. Someone had altered the programming. This wasn’t the chip Manhattan had given her. She turned back to the NEs. “One of you want to explain why there is altered programming on this chip for the AARM?” Not one answered. Casela clenched her jaw, her fist clenching. She narrowed her eyes pinning them in place. She pulled up the security footage. “I’ve seen enough.” NE Johnston was the only one who had been working on Fenrir that day

=^=Lt. Synthi-er to Cmdr Rauuhl and M. Cpt Manhattan. I need you both in the AARM maintenance by immediately=^=

Looking up from where he sat Ryder appeared to state at an imaginary speaker, “Immediately do you?” He said out loud to no one but himself before tapping his comm badge and not sounding the least bit pleased. He was beggening to understand why Noa and she didn’t get along. =^=On my way, Lieutenant.=^= he wasn’t sure if he was in the mood for her hot headedness.

She looked over at the 4 NEs. “If I found out you knew about this…” she let the sentence hang in the air, “Get back to work.” She left the bay turned right and into the parts room. “NE Johnston, It’s your luck day. Get back into the AARM maintenance bay, Now!” Casela ushered the now sweating NE Johnston back into the bay. She stood in the doorway leaning against the frame, simply staring him down until Rauuhl and Manhattan arrived.

Entering the Bay, Manhattan was having a rough day. First the Dave, now the AARM… Can I have some peace?! he thought What the hell is up now?. There was no damn relax… and his sleepy annoyed face was the witness of his destroyed and tired soul.
“Alright what?” The Captain snorted “I was going to get some sleep… And you better have a good reason, Lieutenant.” To be honest his uniform made him seem not that sleepy at all… but the secret? He usually slept with his gun belt and the heavy duty pants, putting the jacket somewhere in his quarters. He rarely liked to put a proper PJ and that was also why he had 14 uniforms in his wardrobe. 14!!

Casela looked at the RCO cpt. and rolled her eyes, “I wouldn’t call you down here if it wasn’t.” She glared at NE Johnston. “This R&D fellow over there,” she pointed to where the NE stood across the room in a corner, “tampered with the AARM KAI9.” She passes him a PaDD with the security footage of the room showing Johnston to be the only person who had worked with Fenrir. “So when I summoned Fenrir to the briefing, 2 clicks, 1 to wake, 1 to passively summon, he came in guns blazing.” She hands him another PaDD with an iso chip in it. “This should have been the iso chip you gave me with his new programming. Fenrir was down here for maintenance to get that put in.” A look at the PaDD showed that any press of the hidden control would cause Fenrir to go into aggressive mode, a order to stand down would have him physically pinning the person down and that every time he saw Cpt. Cobb he would shoot whipped cream in his face. “Some of that is deadly and some is not even funny. And I can’t find the original iso-chip”

“This is pretty much a copy and paste program with subtle and amateur coding…” he looked perplexed “Yuck. Well anyway, the program should be somewhere on the ship, this is certain. Mr. Johnston! Come here speedy like the light!” He called the NE with a military tone “Tell me, Mr. Johnston,” he looked with a serious and angry face the NE, head to feet “Johnston, you son of a good mother and moron. You know that manumission of RTF and ARU is an act of vandalism and FOR GOD’S SAKE A SECURITY BREACH?! TELL ME, JOHNSTON, IS IT YOUR ARSE THAT TOOK THE DAMN ISOCHIP AND MADE A STUPID, DANGEROUS AND FREAKING ANNOYING CHIP TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL’S ONE TO WAKE ME UP FOR THIS NONSENSE COMEDY?! I swear Johnston, if you ain’t going to tell the truth about it… you will be soon going with Dave.” Some says that sleep deprivation is pretty annoying, pretty much health problematic. For Erve it was also a way to send people to the medbay as soon as they got over the patience line of the poor Captain.
Looking at Casela and then at the NE he waited for a response trying to cool his head and keeping his awareness to some acceptable level I swear I wish sometimes to have my baton with me… “I’m sorry, I- I really exaggerated…” he then apologized

Johnston moved too slowly for Casela’s liking towards Manhattan. It wasn’t her job to discipline the crew. She wished it was. That was Manhattan and Rauuhl’s jobs. She REALLY wanted to listen to his thoughts, but REALLY didn’t need to do that. UGH she wasn’t cut out for working with a full star ship crew.

Casela raises a single brow and whispers to him, “Don’t applogize. He deserves worse. I locked my weapons up before I went and found him. I’m pissed Cpt. It’s going to take me HOURS to reprogram him, and if I can’t then I have to wipe him clean and start all over.”

Johnston stood in front of Manhattan and swallowed nervously. “S…Sorry Cpt. I…was bored, and thought it would be funny. I…I didn’t mean to cause a problem, Sir.” He fishes in his pocket for the original ISO chip and hands it to Manhattan. Manhattan scared the crap out of him. He was just tired and bored, what was the big deal? Oh yeah, Manhattan had a legendary temper, that was the big deal.

Having taken a little longer than what it should have taken him Ryder finally strolled through the door and surveyed the scene I front of him. There had clearly been some discussion he wish he had been present for during the time it took him to navigate his way here because one crewman looked like he had seen Gen for the first time and both the Lieutenant and the Captain seemed positively charged with anger. “I could cut the tension in this room with a spoon. What’s going on?” He asked his arms behind his back, the Trill looking pointedly at Synth-er.
