Title: It Figures...
Author: Alex Ross
Time: After "Dichoto-my-heart"
Scene: Bridge; USS Horizon


The Renna were hiding something. In fact, they were hiding a LOT of somethings as far as Alex was concerned. Although he was proficient at over forty-seven languages, his mother had called him an over achiever when all he'd really wanted to do was learn the curse words, the Renna languages were something of a bother to him. He supposed it could be the fact that his mandibles just weren't shaped correctly for proper pronunciation of the phonetic sounds. Or maybe, just maybe, the Renna were out to get him.

He smiled at the notion as he watched the planet rotate on the main viewscreen. It figured. Whenever there was a big to-do or formal reception, he and the rest of the ensigns got left to mind the store. It didn't really bother Alex all that much, the quiet on the Bridge and the chance to look over sensor readings of the Renna homeworld more than made up for the headache of having to sport a dress uniform.

The Ops console lit up. It was an emergency beam up order for Emma and the Doctor. He relayed it to the main transporter room and called the duty officer to the Bridge. He had a feeling that things just got a WHOLE lot more interesting.
