<<Just completition log to the previous J/L with Oriana>> ===== Terek's quaters ===== Terek stormed in his quaters in mood which was mixture of nervousness, rage and fear. He jumped on his couch in front of the great wall display. "Computer, secure link to the scientific facility orbiting Valaris 3, office of the doctor Terek Entiro. Authorisation Weranis Theta - Phi - Omega" [Link established, waiting for response] In a moment the starfleet logo was replaced by the picture of table and empty chair. {Oh, Prophets, where is he?} thought Terek "Dad... Dad! Are you there?" said loudly to the monitor. In a half minute which seemed almost like eternity and Terek was playing with idea of canceling the call, but then figure of a Bajoran appeared. The tall man still looked young, but all of his hair were white. Not by age, but from nature. Terek remembered that when he was a child it was during two years when his hair went all white. He didn;t want to do anything about it, saying that it gives him the authority. "Weranis, is that you?! What... why... how...?" His father was completely surprised and as much as Terek recalled for the first time he saw him out of words. "What happened? I wanted to call you, but didn't catch you before embarking the new ship and then all incomming calls were restricted to higher command due to some security measures. How are you, are you OK? Your mother told me that she talked to you, you have to forgive her, she doesn't understand you...." he sighted... "Sometimes I think I don't understand you either, but I respect your choice." "Thank you dad, I appreciate it, but I don't have time. I am not calling for a family tall, I need help." He knew that look, his father gave him now. Suspicious, piercing... How he hated it as a child, when his dad alway looked through all he wanted to do and stopped him. "Don't look at me that way. I wouldn't call you if it wouldn't be serious, I persume that you should know it by now." "I didn't say anything so don't be offensive Weranis. Just tell me what is going on..." "All right, sorry, I'm a little in stress right now. I'm violating some rules for the communication off the ship and problem is that I will need you to brake some rules as well." Sharp tone of his father suggested that he should speak careful and put a very good arguments to him. "Brake some rules?" "Yes dad. And before you say no, please heed me. it is for a good thing. We may save lifes of the whole crew on Chimera and perhaps more." "All right, go on. but I'm not promissing anything. If this idea of yours will be too crazy, I will not do anything." Weranis noded in agreement. "OK. Remember how we talked about the new progress in nanotechnology about two years ago? You told me that you have been delivered with some restricted materials containing information of recent research on quantum encoding." "yes, I do. I complained that the project was canceled and that other scientists that were depending on it now will have to find another solutions..." "Sure, that's it... but you didn't want to tell me anything more specific as the data were for authorized personel only..." "They are still for authorized personel only if you are implying that you need them." "Yes dad I need them. A retrovirus infected Chimera's crew. It causes the uncontrolable anger. Our team have discovered that it is artificialy created, but we were unable to determine how to disarm it or for the best reverse the effect. I've remembered to you talking about the quantum encoding and that in the last two years I've read some articles about it. Some new theories, but nothing groundbreaking. I know that those are sensitive data, but it can really save lots of lives here...." He paused and nervously waited for his fathers reply. "Hmmm...." he began slowly.... "I don't know why you can't sometimes call only for a reason to see your family. Always some problem involved. You know, this can get me into lots of trouble. Federation politics about sharing restricted information is really strict." "Dad, I beg you. I've never begged you for anything in my life before...." Now he was striked with a weak smile on his father's face... {What is that... unusual} "All right, sending you the data now. BUT I expect you her with us celebrating the Peldor festival without any excuse." Weranis smiled as he relieved that those informations perhaps will save lives. "Of course I will come, don't worry and thank you very much, I think we are onto something big here..." he waved the padd with data in his hand. "Just be carefull with it and don't say anyone where you got it, I'll try to erase track from my downloading and you should do the same." "I will dad, thank you again. Got to go now, but call you when the mission is over. Please say hello to mum. I love you both." and with that he terminated connection, erased a logs about it and run back to the bio lab. ===== End Log ===== ASCiO Lt.J.G. Terek Weranis USS-Chimera-A
