“Pretty cute, but I’ve heard they can devastate an entire planet. The klingons consider them such a threat that they went to war with them,” he said, and the only reason he knew that was because he’d read it in a book titled ‘101 Interesting Facts about the Klingon Empire.’ His attention was focused on his tricorder, scanning each new tribble as it appeared. He’d done his best to keep count but he’d lost track minutes ago.

“It looks like they are born pregnant and all they need to give birth is to eat. But what are they eating?” Ben asked. And that raised another question. The holodeck occupied a limited amount of space. What would happen? Would the three young officers drown in a sea of tribbles? WantsToGolf’s leg might end up being a problem.

Benem had done his best to remain close to both Rodier and WantsToGolf so it was easy to switch from scanning the tribbles to focusing his attention on the young woman. He crouched down next to her and passed the tricorder’s sensor near her ankle. Though it wasn’t a medical tricorder, he was hoping that he could at least tell what they were dealing with–whether it was a twist or a break.

“How are you feeling?” he asked her, tilting his head in an attempt to meet her eyes as he waited for the scan to complete. “We’ll protect you from these tribbles,” Ben added with a wink. “I’m Ben and this is Rody. We’re Security Cadets.”

-Cadet d’Qorvos [Sec.]

WantsToGolf’s big, wide, green eyes blinked at d’Qorvos, leading to the watery build-up in them spilling down her fair cheeks. Her lower lip, pinkened in her upset, snuck out slightly as she looked at the young security cadet and whimpered pathetically.

The tricorder scan was basic, but it would reveal that she had managed to seriously fracture her ankle when she had tripped over the tribble. It wasn’t dangerous, per se, but she was likely in quite a bit of pain.

=^= Holodeck 1, this is Engineering. I’m sending someone your way and will be seeing to the transporters. Can you confirm if the tribbles are isolated to your location or have they migrated?=^=

Lt. jg Dael Stadi, Chief Engineer (cross post)

”=/\= Anders to Rodier and d’Qorvos, any luck with getting off the holodeck gentlemen? =/\=” The voice of the Security Chief now joined the Chief Engineer on the comm channel.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security- (Cross-Post)

”=^= Rodier to Anders, we’re still here. Something must be up with the transporters. =^=” he paused off before answering the question from Engineering, instead looking at Cadet d’Qorvos, the tricorder still in his hand. Henry wasn’t one to try to answer a question better answered by someone else, especially when he had no real idea of how to answer it himself. “Benem, is that scan you ran still up-to-date?”

OOC: I don’t recall if the GM confirmed the location(s) of the Tribbles, but regardless Henry doesn’t know.

OOC: No more tribbles have appeared and they are in their original location except for the one on the COS’ head in Sickbay.

  • GM-ish

The voice of the COS rejoined the conversation, “=/\= Anders to Rodier, any luck lad? =/\=”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

OOC: My bad, I forgot to respond to a question up there. As a reminder, there is one tribble in Sickbay and five in the holodeck, leaving three unaccounted for at this time.

  • GM-ish

When she looked up at Ben, her lip quivering, Ben almost faltered, unsure if he should keep talking. “Ouch, looks like you have a fracture,” he said, trying out his best bedside manner, though it probably left much to be desired. “I’m amazed you’re holding it in so well. If I were you I’d be rolling around screaming bloody murder to tribbles.” He heard the Chief of Security and Engineering speak through comms and let Rody reply. Instead he turned back to his patient, “See? They’re already sending someone down here… we’ll have you in sickbay in no time. I’ll be back in a moment.”

The Cadet then stood and walked over to Rodier, opening his tricorder once more and returning to his previous readings. “Looks like we have five here on the holodeck. When I did the original sweep on my way down here I picked up nine, though,” he told his companion. “You should go ahead and tell them that we have five here, four unaccounted for. We speak with one voice,” Ben grinned and then changed his inflection, adding in a robotic tone, “Like the Borg.”

-Cadet d’Qorvos [Sec]

Henry’s eyes widened, but he only said “Ye… yeah, I’m on it.” Tapping his combadge again, he replied to Engineering first, followed by his Department Head. “=^= Rodier to Engineering, scans show five Tribbles in Holodeck 1, with an additional four unaccounted for. I think I saw one on Lieutenant Anders’ head when he beamed out, but the statuses of the other three are wholly unknown. =^=”

Taking a breath, he continued. “=^= Rodier to Anders, Engineering’s sending someone up, I’ll update you when they update me, sir. =^=” Turning back to Benem, he asked “Ben, you think there’s anything we can do from here? We could try to jimmy the door open, but…” he trailed off, lost in thought.
