[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Star Trek - Gamma Quad #004 -- "SLEEPY TOKYO" Lt. Johann Bach whistled to himself as the turbolift car shot through the criss-crossing shafts of the Starship TOKYO. The ship and crew had recently celebrated their second month in the Gamma Quadrant. Things were going fantastic -- Bach had learned he was being considered for promotion. Oh, sure, both Grass and Blair were giving him the cold shoulder, but that didn't bother him very much anymore. Grass had been good in bed, but she was acting like a bitch, so that was how he would treat her. Blair was acting spoiled, and so he would ignore her as well. Bach still didn't like his direct supervisor, Melanie Kline, very much, but he would still work well under her. Bach felt that Kline's promotion to lieutenant commander had been more deserving of him, but he hadn't served on the front during the war, and had missed numerous opportunities for promotion. It pissed him off. Now he had to go find Commander Kline. Captain Macy was enjoying a well deserved rest, and Bach needed permission from the Captain or First Officer to have Lt. Blair conduct a test of the ship's transporter systems, which had been acting up recently. Since it was an unusually slow week, Bach had decided to stick Karen to work on that as soon as possible. And why not? Revenge was good. The turbolift came to a stop, the doors slicing open onto an almost empty corridor. Major Tsana, the Romulan liason officer's aide, was standing impatiently, waiting for the car. "About time," the gruff Romulan muttered. Bach nodded politely to Tsana. He hadn't had much time to socialize with any of the liason officers, and didn't much care to. He appreciated the contributions the Romulans had made during the war, but he had spent years of service in a Starfleet that had trusted the Romulans as much as the United States had trusted the Soviet Union centuries earlier. Bach stepped off the turbolift, and smiled to himself as the doors hissed shut and carried Tsana away. As Bach walked around a bend, he was a bit surprised to find a security man standing there. Ensign Charlie Apicella was speaking to his communicator. "He's gone," the ensign said. "His destination is deck seven," another voice said. "Wells will pick up the tail." Ever since Major Tsana and the Klingon aide, Lt. Kazl, had put on the of the TOKYO's crew in sickbay, Lt. Gosvar had made it his business to keep a close eye on the two. It didn't help that they both wanted to kill each other, and that was another reason the security men trailed the two: to keep an "ugly" incident from occuring. Bach nodded to Apicella, who nodded in return. Bach stepped to the doors of holodeck one, the largest on the TOKYO. The doors refused to open for him, and he was forced to identify himself. "Lieutenant Johann Bach, requesting access." "Program Kline-Three in progress." "Security code Baker-George-Five-Four-Seven-Three." "Access granted." The heavy doors slid open, revealing a wooded forest. Bach stepped inside, and turned in time to see the doors slide shut. For a moment, Bach could see both the doors and the "arch." Then they vanished into thin air. Bach grinned -- holodeck technology continued to impress him. Bach looked around the woods. They seemed to continue forever. Above the trees -- it looked to be fall, the weather was slightly chilly, and the trees were bare -- he could see the mountains rising in the distance. Bach shrugged and began walking. He didn't care where he was headed, as long as he ran into Kline before too long. He decided he probably should've paged her, but he knew how upset he became when someone entered one of his holodeck programs, and he didn't want her to want to do that to him. Suddenly, a cold wind blew up. He shivered, and thought about calling for the arch. He could... A running horse. He had heard the sound only a few times, on Earth, but he knew it. The hoofbeats grew louder, the ground seemed to shake. What the hell kind of program was this? Whatever was running, it was running right towards him ... Bach got a bearing on the sound and turned to face it. With a roar, a huge black horse burst through the treeline and charged him. A tall, huge man was mounted on the horse's back. In one hand, he gripped a huge double-edged sword. In the other, he gripped a head. Which made no sense to Bach, because the horseman didn't have a head himself. And then the headless horseman "saw" Bach. The body swivled, and the horse reared as it changed course -- charging for Johann Bach. The second officer's eyes grew wider as the horseman swung his sword for Bach's neck ... ==== Ok, time for you guys to leave some feeback. What do you think? These have been *small* samplings from the stories. I'll leave more if you want. [/QB][/QUOTE]
