I am so Con fused, or If it isn't a costume, can you still win?
What a strange turn of events! I never did have time to open that mail before all hell broke loose. I knew Brundle had flipped out and was talking about his leaving the ship to go after Ironbottom, but I didn't think he would actually do it! He did, and he did just what he said he would. He sabotaged the ship in his attempt to get away, but being forewarned is to be forearmed. I knew what he was going to do to the computer, so I had planned out a counter response. I turned loose a worm I had designed to clear his tinkering, but what he didn't know was that I was waiting for him to try to disable it. I was able to track him back to his layer as he called it by watching where he accessed the system from and sent our security people there.
Unfortunately he jumped ship before they arrived and I was ready to play my trump card. I reloaded the main computer programs from backup and we were on his butt.
It seemed we had him, but when we tried to transport him off his flyer he vanished. It was determined that he had somehow been sucked into an alternate dimension and our new Captain was determined to bring him back. We were assembled in the transporter room and beamed to where the rift ended, and found our selves in a broom closet!
Somehow we had arrived at an alternate Earth were they knew of the Federation and Starfleet as a writers musings on the future. All I can guess is that this Rodenberry must have come from our time and made himself wealthy by writing about our times!
Captain Lee determined by talking to some of the locals that a person answering to Brundle's description had been seen out in the mid west, and was intending to go after him. To do so he had robbed a cash machine! WOW, I didn't think he had it in him! Not being the Captain of the Freedom was showing a new side to Lee that I didn't think he had in him. I may just start to like him if he keeps this up!
K was a hit with the locals as were Tarra and Cosmos. Everyone wanted a picture with them, and to supplement our cash we have decided the put them into what is called a Costume Contest. Seems from what we have seen that they may have a good chance to win.
On a personal note, I have decided to come clean with K on what is going on with Ironbottom and what I was doing on the Freedom. Maybe she will have some ideas on what we can do to the bastard.
On another personal note I like the way K is treating me. It is so nice to be thought of as a good man with something to say, and yes I will say it, to be loved. It makes me feel so different from anything that has ever happened in my life that I feel like I could do almost anything!
