Memory Beta - Morgan Bateson

Borg Invasion of 2381

Defiant Class

Tal Shiar

A fan fiction named in honor of BCM's recent phrase as we watched Voycager on Netflix
_________________________________________________________

"Captain.. We have .. S#$%," The helmsman put the screen up.. "Fifteen borg Cubes.."

Captain Morgan Bateson swallowed hard, "All ships prepare.."

"Sir.." The ops station went wide eyed as a small ship was visible, "The Acting Captain of the .. The USS Gatling is hailing us.."

On the view screen a small Defiant class ship was hauling A$$ from the Cubes dodging and weaving..

"Captain.. The Gatling's shields are down to 12 percent.." The Ops officer quickly speaks, "Their torpedo launchers are damaged.. Phasers are .. Sir one bank no power to it.. They have warp, life support, and the main deflector array.."

"Put me through now!" Captain Morgan Bateson was wide eyed as he noticed a bloody stump on the right leg of a space suited officer, "Lt. Commander... What in .."

"Lt. Commander Ringo," A white human male spoke from an open face masked space suit..  The bridge crew watched as the screen rotated 360 degrees, "Captain.. I got their Attention.. Now what the F#$% am I supposed to do now.. sir.."

"Sir ten more Borg Cubes have disengaged defenses and are headed towards us," The  Ops officer was wide eyed..

"Son.. What in the F#$% are you doing," Captain Morgan watched as the Cubes tried to accelerate past the USS Gatling.. As the Cubes seemed to ignore the USS Atlas, "You have their attention all right.."

"Uhm.. Sir.. I have an Agent of the Tal Shiar Torturing a few borg, she considered it a professional challenge.." Lt. Commander Ringo smiles, "I got the idea from the files of the first encounters I read at the academy.."

The Atlas has to quickly move so the cubes dont hit them. The cubes speed past..

"We are preventing them from disengaging the drones from the collective," The USS Gatling keeps manuevering.. "I am making the collective feel the pain.." The Lt. Commander looks at Captain Bateson, "You said bring the pain sir.."

"Captain.." The Ops officer smiles not meaning to, "He has their attention.. We have a transwarp hub opening," The ops officer swallows hard..

"Son.. Remind me later on to explain to you the difference between a figure of speech and an order.. " Captain Bateson smiles, "Run like H#$$ son.. To all Ships provide some cover fire for the USS Gatling.. Have the " The Atlas shakes from fire, "Have the USS Hopper and the USS Forrest follow the Gatling.. Tell them to protect that ship.. Random direct son.."

"Aye Sir.. Run like H#$$.. Second star to the right," Lt. Commander Ringo cuts the screen..

The USS Gatling engages its warp, followed by the USS Hopper and the USS Forrest..

The Borg Cubes are ignoring the fleet at vulcan as they disengage and follow..

The OPS officer and the crew watch as forty more cubes come from the hub and go to warp, "Captain.. The Borg are following and.. Ignoring us.."

"Send a message to Starfleet command.. Inform them of the situation," Captain Morgan stands and shakes his head.. "Get me everything we have on Lt. Commander Ringo.."

Admiral Dennis Decker



Wearing a Captain's uniform, Ringo smiled as a very attractive female dressed in a Romulan's commander uniform was escorted by romulan and Federaton Security personnel.

"You.. you got a promotoin to Commander, Sire," Ringo straightened the Captain's dress uniform..

Sire smiled herself.. She reached over and shook her head.. She Adjusted Ringo's uniform, "To think.. Starfleet has come to this.. Do you wish to go ahead and surrender to the Romulan Empire now.. Captain.."

An older Romulan smiled at the comment as his Federation Counterpart frowned..

"Got to catch me first," Ringo made Sire laugh.. "You must be Admiral Rhinshok.. It is a pleasure to meet you sir.."

Smiling, the old man shook Captain Ringo's hand, "Captain.."

"You are in charge now.. the fate of this ship is in your hand," Captain Ringo sees the acknowledgement in the Old Romulan's eyes at the comment..

"I see my protege has been telling tells outside of school.. As you humans like to say.." Looking over at a federation Admiral," Call me son.. If the federation doesnt treat you right.. I am pretty sure I can convince someone in our supply section to give you command of a vessel.."

The older human Admiral step forward, "This is not funny captain.."

"Please Admiral Decker.. Even the Klingons would find him a home.. He doesnt fight.. But when he runs," Rhinshok laughs.. "Seventy Three cubes at the end.. "

Ringo takes adeep breath, "Commander Sire.. I take it the deal was honored.. What about at home when.."

"You worry to much Captain.. I am going home a hero.. Exposed.. yes.. Caught yes.. But," Sire grinned.. "Lets just say the Romulan military does not mind me as a Liason at all.. Ringo.. You surprised me human.. I thought we were dead.." Shaking her head, "I am glad starfleet gave you the USS Gatling.. You earned it.."

"Admiral," The white haired admiral spoke.. "I believe the time period has passed.. I hope we never meet again.."

False Pleasantries are exchanged..

After they depart, Admiral Decker looks at Captain Ringo.. "Lets get you back to the Gatling.. Your new XO will be on board by now.. I am curious Ringo.. why did you choose her.. She is still complaining to Starfleet command.." 

"Admiral Janeway asked me the same question Admiral.." Ringo saw the look on the Admiral's face wanting the rest, "She was one of my instructor's at the academy.. She once told me that after h#$$ frooze over would I ever command a vessel in her Starfleet.. "

Admiral Decker Chuckled, "I may have been partially wrong about you.. Captain's privalege.. "

"She hates my guts Sir.."Ringo holds the Transporter rooms doors open for the Admiral, "I asked her if I made Captain before she did.. If she would serve As my XO.. "

"I saw that in your file.." The old admiral laughed, "So what did she say Captain.."

"A lot of things sir that are not appropriate... I told her I would draft her.. Minus a few extra words, " Captain Ringo grins evilly.. "Mockingly she called me non-captain.. I took it as yes.." Standing on the Transporter pad, "Sir.. why did they let me keep her.. I mean its.. Sir.. What Happened after the hearing?"

"The Reason you got the vessel.. Simply put several of the more pacifist member worlds of the Federation.. they are more comfortable with your record of retreats.. Admiral Axna.."

"The nice vulcan female Admiral," Ringo got a head nod yes..

"The nice vulcan Admiral.." Decker chuckles, "She spoke first.. Your profile indicates you will not seek to ue violence or force unless their are no other options.. The incident when you were a Lt. And choose to retreat from a position facing the Dominion was among her examples.. She argued you kept the personnel alive and choose not to try a human thing of fighting till the death.."

Ringo catches the sarcasm in Deckers voice and takes a deep breath..

"You have chosen an interesting crew," Decker shakes his head.. "Very interesting. Crewman beam us over to Alpha Flyer.."

Marla gilmore

Prime Directive

Starfleet Code of Military Justice



A human Female took a deep breath, " Admiral Decker.. Captain Ringo.."

Admiral Decker shook his head and walked back to adifferent seat..

"Yeoman Gilmore," Captain Ringo stuck out his hand with an evil smile.. "Thank you for accepting my offer.."

"Sir," Yeoman gilmore smiles.. "Thank you for this opportunity.. It.. It has been hard since.. Sir.. Thank you.."

"Yeoman.. I choose you for two Reasons," Captain Ringo sat in the Pilots seat..

After she sat down, "Sir?"

"Lets take a spin around the Gatling first.. I want to see the repairs myself," Ringo took a deep breath.. "First I get an extra Engineer for free.. The other was because of what happened in the Delta Quadrant.."

Admiral Decker looked at Captain Ringo with a sideways look..

"Sir.. What happened," Yeoman Gilmore was interrupted..

"Marla.. Captain Janeway should have been court martialed when she returned for multiple violation of the prime directive and the SCMJ .. " The captain looked out as the Alpha Flyer flew around the USS gatling, "She did what you did multiple times.. She got promoted.. You got S#$%.."

Admiral Decker coughed, "Captain.. "

"Do you want me to name the instances sir," Captain Ringo turned back and looked at Admiral Decker? "Admiral Janeway lacked the moral Authority in my opinion.. I will respect the rank sir.."

"Captain you would have failed my class on Starfleet Regulations if not for field credit," Admiral Decker spoke surprised. "You should know by now that an officer has to make decisions in the field that no regulation can cover and to much regulation will hamper the abilities of command. Captain's prerogative.."

"Yeoman.. Did I miss a class at the academy.. Entiitled the Prime Directive slash Starfleet Code of military justice exception.. Captain Prerogative.." Captain Ringo's comment drew a smile from Yeoman Gilmore.. "I turned myself in for my violations of the SMCJ.."

"captain.. With all due respect," Marla Gilmore tries not to smile.. "Admiral Decker addressed the question to you.."

"Touche.. " Captain Ringo hit the Yeoman in the arm, "A wise officer once said there are only two types of officers in starfleet.. Those that are by the numbers and those that are in the spirit of the Rules.. All problems arise from this distinction.. A perfect example is Janeway changing history in violation of the Temporal Prime directive to get the crew home early.. With a focus on the changes that were made in the history of the Delta quadrant."

"Intro to Starfleet Regulations 101," Admiral Decker shook is head.. "Son if you had answered this way in my class you would have passed it with flying colors.. So Janeway should be court martialed.. Lets hear the case son.."

Starfleet Corps of Engineers



"Admiral Decker," A bald deltan female spoke as she stood in a commander's uniform.. "I must again file a formal protest.. This assignment is not.."

"Commander Delia.." Admiral Decker had the tone he used on cadets, "I am well aware of your feelings.. You may file an official protest with starfleet command.. Let me be clear.." Shaking his head, "I thought I would ever be uttering these words.. Captain KR Ringo has the full faith of starfleet and myself.. In this instance, The admirals made a wise choice to my surprise. If I find out you do anything other then perform your duties.. You will be begging to be sent to the New Zeland Peal colony.."

Commander Delia stands straight, "Sir.. You.. Aye sir.."

"Captain Ringo," Admiral Decker walked towards the turbolift.. "Your first mission is a resupply of Risa.. Good luck son.."

"Resupply Risa.. Thank you sir," Captain Ringo takes a pad from Yeoman Gilmore. 

"Sir.." commander Delia looked at Captain Ringo, "May I speak with you privately in the turbo lift?"

"Its twelve degrees in Hell Michigan Commander.." Admiral Decker saw the raised eyes looking at him now,"No.. Denied.. I am off to discuss a potential court martial of a fellow admiral.." shaking his head, "God D@#$!"

Commander Delia swallowed hard and turned around, "Cade.. Captain Ringo.. the SCE has finished installing the slipstream devices.."

"Commander Delia.." Ringo coldly sat in his seat, "I want a personal inspection on the Reformatted Cargo Bay.. A full inspection of the supplies as they are stored in the transporter buffers.. Make sure the holograms we picked up like there new area.. Then you will inspect the work of the SCE before I inspect it.."

"Captain.. I am off in," Commander Delia narrowed her eyes. "Understood sir.. My own words against me.. The ship comes first.."

"Yeoman Gilmore," Captain Ringo sat looking at the veiwscreen.

"She is very pissed off sir.." Gilmore was whispering, "Priceless sir.."

Ringo smiled evilly, "Walk me through the exact procedure the SCE used for this installation yeoman.." After a few seconds, "Priceless doesnt seem to cover it."

A crewman from ops spoke, "Sir.. The new Chief of security is requesting permission to beam aboard.."

Taking out a phaser from his side, "Crewman have the Lt. beamed directly to the bridge.."

Benzite

Selkie

Kenneth Dalby

Pacifica



Mess Hall USS Gatling

Tired officers and crewmen come walking in.. To their shock armed security personnel are inside..

"Sentient beings.." An armored benzite Lt is cold bloodied, "The Captain has ordered the mess hall to only operate form 0600 to 0645.. Then from 1200 to 1245.. And from 1900 to 1945.. you may visit the mess hall only twice every 24 hours.. With the exceptionn of your races holidays and sunday."

One of the Lt.'s in standard uniform growls out, "Lt. Benz.. This.. this has to be against some regulation.. That loser is letting his power go to his head.."

"Lt. Elk.. Until such a time as everyone on this vessel has passed their medical, Science, tactical, ops, engineering, physical, and piloting qualifications at excellent. This mess hall will remained under these hours.." Lt. Benz grins in the Lt's face, "Maybe you should spend more time practicing instead of chasing A$$ as the Captain noted in your performance review.."

"This, " Elk was pissed.. "I will take this to.."

Commander Delia walked in behind Elk, "Denied.."  Swallowing hard as she shook her head, "Remind me Benz to review every item I mention off the record to that god D@#$ Cadet.."

"Sir," Elk was wide eyed.. "These were your recommendations?" 

A clang enters the mess hall.. Commander Delia called out, "Captain on Deck.."

Captain Gatling waived everyone to carry on and ignored the conversation.. The Captain's metal leg clanged as the rest of him was in body armor as he walked over to the Selkie mess hall chef, "You needed to see me.."

Yeoman Gilmore followed the Captain in with a pad.. She walks over to Commander Delia, "Mam.."

"I thought the captain ordered there to be a senior bridge officer on the bridge at all times," Commander Delia spoke a little louder then she should have..

"He did.. You are late Commander," Yeoman Gilmore hook her head.. "Crewman Dalby was promted to Lt.. Now he is acting XO since you cant do your duty sir.." Gilmore hands the pad to the Commander, "You were NJP'd in absentina.. You are confined to the brig during off hours.... Captain Ringo waited for thirty minutes and you never communicated with him.. You now have Lt. Dalby's work schedule for the week.. On top of your Duties.."

Lt. Benz moved in the way of the Commander's LOS, "Sir.."

"This is revenge for his second day in my class," Commander Delia was pissed off.. "I will be FORMALLY protesting this CAPTAIN.."

"Sir," Benz puts her hand on the XO's shoulder.. "This is not the place.."

"This is Lt. Dalby all hands.. Captain Ringo has ordered new unforms of the day.. Every department head is to report into senior staff.. " Dalby's voice carried with confidence, "The uniform of the day is now environmental suits.. You have thrity minutes to comply with the order.. Dalby out.."

"Lt. Benz.. Captain Gringo wants to know if you will run surprise drills.." Yeoman Gilmore gave a and you look to the Commander, "The order for uniform change was not passed down for some reason.. He said he must not have been clear.."

Commander Delia was fuming, "This is utter bullS#$%!!!"

The Amphibian Selkie, already in a modified environmental suit, Shakes her head.. "I see what you mean.. KR.. A long way to go.. "

"At least you will not stick out like a sore thumb you old whore," Captain Ringo hits the Selkie in the arm.. "Jelly.. So what do you think of this crew so far.."

"Considering every single one of them is a better officer then you hands down," Jelly laughed.. "It should be a rude awakening for all of them.. They are among the best in their fields.. My opinion, they have all been floating on easy currents.. It will do them good to be led by someone who is not used to winning.." 

"That is the politest that I have ever been called a loser," Ringo shook his head..

"Just remember landwalker.. These halls are here for you to leave your mark.." Jelly watches as the Security team physically remove the XO from the mess hall.. "Lt. Elk.. Come here a second.."

Lt. Elk swallows hard, "Jelly.."

"You want some extra food," Jelly points at the mess in the new kitchen area.. She whispers, "You clean every inch of this room to my satisfaction and I will cook you some bolian Eggs. that and you personally repair my things when I ask and we can work on a permanent arrangement.. Behind the captain's back..."

"Jelly.." Elk looks right at Captain Ringo, "Captain Ringo.."

"Cant say a thing if you grab some food quietly while you work.." Jelly tosses an Apron to Elk, "Dishes do not clean themselves.. Plus I sign off on your kitchen quals.."

"Jelly.. I want steak delivered to my ready room for lunch," Ringo smiles.. "I have a surprise inspection to do.. I will be back Assistant Chef Elk.."

After Captain Ringo left, "Jelly.. He.. His order.."

"Department heads are required to get their work done.. The Captain gives us minor allowances.. He wants things done.. trades are allowed.." Jelly watches as Several of the guards walk over, "Yall are going to learn.. Captain Ringo has had a harder career then all of you.."  Jell took out mufins and set them out to cool, "Pass the word that the Captains style is darwinistic.. You have some leeway to get the job done right.. You will be held responsible for the work.."

"Jelly," One of the wide eyed security crewmen gobbled down a mufin Jelly handed her.. "You.. You know the Captain from.."

"Long story," jelly smiles.. "I met the Captain first when he was a teenager and visited Pacifica.. Let me tell you this.. You are on the safest ship in the fleet boys.. Do everything he says.. "

Lt. Benz comes back in and starts to say something, but Jelly hands her a drink, "My nutrient drink.."

"Docs order," Jelly grins again.. "Be quick.. Now. Elk.. Starfleet peoples.. Captain Ringo has not once stood and fought.. "

They all looked at each other..

"Not once," Benz looks at Jelly as she downs her nutrient drink..

"He has made a life out of what he did against the borg.. " Jelly took pasteries out of the oven, "He is anti confrontational.."

Echo Papa 607


Emergency Medical Hologram



Medical bay

"Captain," An Andorian female shook her head.. "Usually I have an issue getting Captain to show up.."

"Doc," The Captain shook his head.. "I am not that type of Captain.. So no issues with my leg.."

"We can give you a better prosthetic.. The Peg Leg is so Ahab.." Taking a deep breath, "Sir thank you choosing me.. I thought I was done in Starfleet.."

"Tran, Let me be honest.. I put in a list of profile points I wanted in a CMO.. " Ringo took a deep breath, "Your profile matched at 87%.. That and you had a nice A$$.."

Tran hit the Captain in the Arm, "I should report you.. " Her antennas moved as her skinned changed slight color, "So you chose the profile points.."

"Every member of this crew.. I went with the most skilled.." Ringo looked at the nurses in the envirosuits, "Doc.. Is there an issue with you suit.."

"It is too bulky.. I cant do some of the fine motor skills I need," Tran stopped her statement based on the Captains look..

"Let me talk with the chief engineer.." Ringo took a deep breath, "Part of it is time to get used to it.. Will you humor me till I get a better one built for medical personnel.. I do not want to lose you like Janeway lost her doctor and medical personnel.."

Tran took a deep breath, "May I take some time to give a list on input.. "

"You have to wear it Tran.. I will not be lost," Captain Ringo stands up.. "EMH .."

A hologram appears of a bolian woman, " Sir.. this is not Doctor Zimmerman's lab.. Please state the nature of the medical emergency.."

The hologram looks around at the staff..

"Captain," Tran takes a deep breath..

Several engineers in enviromental suits come in with a hover cart.. 

On the cart is a echo papa 607 seven drone Captain Ringo motions them forward, "You have a name EMH.."

"Donella," The Bolian Female responded "Those personnell.. they are.. Holograms.. Except one of them.."

The Andorian doctor took a tricorder and scanned them, "Captain.. The.."

"We have the extra drone you requested," The highest ranking crewman spoke..

"That is for you Donella," Ringo clanked his metal peg on the deck.. "Doctor Tran has an issue with her suit.. She needs a new one.."

"We have been working o a smart uniform.." The holo engineer grins.. "Doctor.. Would you like to field test it for us.."

The holo engineer taps his com badge, "bridge.. Ensign Zimmerman requesting Authorization for site to site.. Doctor Tran's new suit.."

"Dalby here.. Go ahead ensign," Dalby responds..

A different hovercart appears with cloth parts of black and blue, "Doc.. It is experimental.. Old fashion weave, but with several attachements.. Built in Tricorder, on board computer core, anti em field gen..."

"Boys," Ringo smiles.. "Let doc try it on first for physical comfort.. Two week field test.."

Doctor Tran starts stripping nude, "Ok lets do this piece by piece.." She starts unconcerned by her nudity.. Her light Blue skin is covered shortly by first shirt, "Ok.. Can I adjust this?" She steps into the pants, "Captain.. My eyes are up here.."

"Mine arent.." Captain Ringo hands the Doctor the boots, "I.. A mix polymer of some type.. Which is me saying I have no D@#$ clue.. Full encounter test.."

"We are working through the database sir," Ensign Zimmerman responded.. "Uhm.. We need Lt. Benz permission on some of the material test.."

"Doctor.. Keep the enviro-suit in reach.. Who else is testing the suit," Captain Ringo politely ask..

"Lt. commander Litch sir.." The ensign grinned, "She made the recommendations.."

[Armonica_Templar]

Suliban



Engineering

"Captain Ringo," A Suliban Lt. commander in modified body armor spoke.. "The Slipstream device will be online in about five minutes.. I have the extra shield generators on the Torpedo lunchers.. Same for the Phasers.. " Seeing the look on Ringo's face, "And surge protectors on all the links.."

"Litch," Ringo took a deep breath as he looked at the modifed core..

"Sir.. I will walk you through it," Yeoman gilmore whispered..

"Relax Captain.. " Lt. commander Litch grinned, "Those ten cubes you grabbed off the nebula station.. My kids were with my ex husband.. Him, I do not care about.. They were my world.."

"You know.."

"That you failed engineering 101 twice at the academy," Litch nodded her head yes.. "I told the Commander to F#$5 off.. Me and Gilmore will have you qualed in no time sir.."

Several members of the Engineering teams had froze at the comment..

"Get used to it," Litch smiled.. "The Captain can be trusted and will not be crawling up our A$$es.. That is my job in engineering.."

"I do have a few things I have to ask.. " Captain Ringo looked at the modified core, "I want every Engineer down to the crewman qualed up to Chief engineer.. I want your main qual here done first above the other quals..  Second, these new suits.. " The Captain saw that the engineers were all wearing the modified suits, "I want personal opinions on them.. Professional then personnel. Third..  I want every idea you have for improving and creation of new devices.. We may not use them, but I want them.. Unedited, then cleaned up ones. I do not care if the idea is based on flat earth technology extentions.. No matter what the idea is or  how insane.."

The engineers were all smiles as they looked at the Captain.. 

Ensign Zimmerman spoke, "So we can build a database then go through it.. " Looking at Litch, "Mam.. It may save us later on.. Like my idea for personal cloaks for security may not get approved.. But If I keep researching and building.. I might have ways to detect them that starfleet has not thought of.."

The Engineers all looked at each other..

"Yes.. You can share the database, but there is a rule.. No idea is to outlandish.. No one will make fun of a single proposal.. And no comments until Myself or Litch makes our review.." Captain Ringo grinned evilly, "I expect talking frogs and knights of old.. Next to secondary borrowing of singularity drives from the romulans.."

One of the Crewmen frooze in place.. "Sir.. I.."

"Will have a proposal for the captain Crewman," Lt. commander Litch smiled.. "The Captain discussed it with me.. I am not allowed to give my opinion until after he reads you professional proposal.."

"Are you serious sir," The human crewman was wide eyed.. "I turned that in on bar napkins as.. S#$%.."

"Crewman Leslie.. It was an excellant idea.. We may upgrade one of the modified Shuttles with one for Ensign Zimmerman," Captain Ringo watched as they all started whispering to each other..

"Lt. Commander," Crewman leslie spoke softly.. "Sir.. We also were kicking around an idea.. A new type of shuttle craft.. Heavily armored one.. "

"Your space tank," Lt. commander Litch almost chuckled but caught herself.. "Get the captain the raw idea.. Then the professional version.."

"I already have a small model sir," Crewman Leslie grinned.. "I am past the design stage.."

"Captain," Litch swallowed hard..

"I will give you one of the cargo bays.. " Captain Ringo smiled, "You must not miss any of your quals and this is done all on your free time.." 

Crewman Leslie was wide eyed, "I just have no.. Sir I need the singularity.."

"Acquiring the parts is also your deal.. I will have the chief pilot speak with you," Captain Ringo politely nods.. "He know a thing or two about those drives.."

_____________________________________________________________

Reman

Scimitar Class ship


A reman male in a modified enviro suit was looking over the Alpha Flyer, "Starfleet waste.. She sure looked pretty.."

"So in your professional opinion this is a piece of S#$%," Captain Ringo's voice carried across the launch bay..

"That and this D@#$% area is an after thought," The Reman's ensign pip on the suit was obvious.. "You must be the Runner.. Not bad sir.. How did you get Starfleet Intelligence to give you me sir.."

"V'Roum.. It was really just a trade," Ringo looked at the area.. "Can we fix this mess?"

"Keep two of the Alpha flyer's Captain.. Loan me a few technicians.. We will have to build something better," V'Roum took the pad from the Yeoman.. After reading it, "Let me see If I can get you the singularity.. I will grab the Crewman and Ensign.. Much D@#$ better.. A few tweeks and then we can go forward.."

"These," Captain Ringo walked over to several secured cargo boxes..

"A gamble..  A smart one sir.." V'Roum shakes his head, "I appreciate having the freedom to organize this S#$% my way.. We have all the parts we need stored sir for risa..  By the way.. The Ferengi storage racks were a good idea.."

Ringo just nodded, "The other supplies.." Seeing the Reman looking at him, "Just keep me quietly in the loop Ensign.."

"Sir.. It is," V'Roum paused for a second.. "The Commander has already came by.."

"The commander.. She is in training," Ringo nodded his head quietly. "You do not report the extra supplies till she starts to understand.. My only concern.."

"Is that nothing I bring on board affects the ship.. " V'Roum took a deep breath, "I will pass the information to Gilmore.. Commander Delia.. She was reporting the drones I aquired.."

"It is gong to take the Commander some time to adjust to how things really work.. She has the Textbook still up her A$$," Captain ringo pauses and looks at Ensign V'Roum..

"Sir.. Let me clear the air.. I was not supplying the midshipmen with performance enhancers.." V'Roum takes a deep breath, "I made an enemy or two who withheld .."

Ringo holds up his hand, "Ensign.. I know this.. I want you to quietly coordinate with Lt. Benz.. Keep an eye on the crew with her.. Say make it a lunch every so often.. I want my senior staff working together.. The drones?"

"Sir.. A ferengi made them for some Romulan friends of mine.. The Sub Commander died before she could take them.. I got them for a steal.." V'Roum walks over to a set of cargo boxes and activates one, "A debt paid to take them before the authorities took them.."

A scimitar looking drone flies up and scans the area..

Several Security personnel beam into the area moments later..

Lt. Benz is transporter a few seconds later, "Benz to bridge.. The captain is fine.."

After the bridge acknowledges, "Lt. I am glad your here.. Good timin and reflexes.. One issue.. I do ot want you beaming into hazardous situations personally.. V"Roum.. Let her check out our new toys.."

"Drones.. Starfleet denied your request Captain," Benz walks up to the Drone and scans it.. "These are romulan design.. Captain.."

"Starfleet said I could not get them from starfleet.." Ringo smiled as he headed out of the area, "Yeoman.."

"I like them sir.. It does mean more work to," Yeoman Gilmore stops midsentence and looks at the Captain.. "I take it that Crewman Leslie and Ensign Zimmerman just got assigned the task.."

"If Litch doesnt personally decide to do it herself," The Clang follows Captain Ringo as he and the Yeoman leave..

Luther Sloan



"Good morning sir," A human female with light brown hair spoke.." I am glad I caught you.. My orders have me here as Information Analyst.. This uniform is not standard for a ships counselor."

"Good morning Lt. JG Sloan," Captain Ringo looked at the female in Black and Purple.. "Welcome aboard the USS Gatling.. Have you made it to your Intelligence shack.. How can I help you?"

With a lot of anger, "Sir.. My father was member of Section 31 not me.. I am not a spy sir.. I am a counselor.. "

"Rebecca Sloan.. Oldest child of Luther Sloan.. Starfleet Security and Intelligence both cleared her.." Captain Ringo fills n Gilmore, "Admiral Uhura ok'd this.. I told her I thought all of starfleet got it wrong and she is Sectin 31.. She blames Dr. Bashir for killing her father.. Not aware this whole time her father's death was because of his own stupidity."

Marla Gilmore Freezes for a second as Anger passes through Sloan.. She draws her phaser immediately, "Step back mam.."

"My father was a good and kind man.. That augment doctor used a mind probe on my father.." Her stance changes, "I am not .."

Captain Ringo slams Lt. JG into a panel busting it, " I need an intelligence officer.. I chose you.." Several members of security are immediately there, "What if I cant run Rebecca? Huh. What if I have to stay and fight bravely and foolishly? What then? I have never won a fight.. that is what section 31 does right? Go into the dark places and do the things starfleet claims it does not need.. Yet your father worked hand in hand with admirals and Captains.. He fought the good dirty fight.. Every persons life on this ship is in your hands.. And yours in theirs.."

"I am NOT section 31," Lt. JG Sloan paused when she saw security with rifles up.. The Captain had her pinned to the Pway's display, "Sir.. I am not a spy.."

"Fine," Ringo dropped her cold bloodily.. "You will learn to be one.. If you want to play counselor go ahead.. That is what a counselor does right.. Analyses people and then gives them advice based on that.. I have several rules for you to pass to your handlers. My shhip, my rulles.. Any information you collect in doing your job is to be respected in privacy.. I find you blackmailing any of my crew.. I will beam you into space for ten seconds then beam you out.. rinses repeats.. Thirds.. A biggie.. No operations aboard my ship.."

"Sir.." From the ground trying to hide her anger, "I am.."

"Your first report Lt. JG is due before we reach Risa.. I want you analyst on the people's general moods counselor followed by Risan leadership.." Ringo walked past security, "Turn it into Commander Delia.. Do your job you were trained for and the one I assigned you to.."

"Yeoman," Sloan looked at Gilmore as she put her phaser up.. "He.."

"I trust him.. Why does he trust you.. That is the question Spy," Gilmore shook her head..

Captain Ringo stops cold, "Your father had this laugh.. It was deep and he knew some of the dirtiest jokes I ever heard.. Your father Administered my entrance exam.. Tried to convince me I was not starfleet material.. Offered me a job, I turned them down. He got a call at the end of the exam.."

The Security officers all turned towards the Captain..

"You.. My father put you in starfleet," Rebecca Sloan paused..

"As a F#$% you to starfleet brass, telling me they deserve me.. How else do you think an unqualified cadet got into starfleet?" Captain ringo had turned around, "  He then gave me one sentence to defend my answer.. I told him that because I was a failure it made me the perfect choice for starfleet..I made him laugh so hard, he altered my score just enough."

Everyone in the hallway was silent..

"What.. You all worship Kirk.. I found a way to beat the odds," Ringo smiled as he clanged down the hallway. "Changed the rules.. It is good to be Captain.."


"Dad put you into Starfleet," Rebecca Sloan paused as she listened to the clang.. "I am not section 31 sir.."

Days later

"Red Alert," Commander Delia called out.. 

"Sir," Lt. Benz called out..

Captain Ringo clanged onto the bridge," Lt. Caozel.. Hail the Jem Ha'Dar vessel.. Stand down from Red Alert.."

The Nausican Ops officer quickly moves his hands, "Hailing the.. Sir.. They said stand by for beam in.."

"Lt. Benz allow the transport," Captain Ringo walked over to his chair and sat down as Commander Delia had a pissed off look onn her face.

A female Vorta beamed in,"Acting Lt. Kail reporting for duty.. " Seeing the tenseness from everyone but Captain Ringo, "I see Captain.." With a huge smile, "You did not tell them about the exchange program the Dominion have begun with starfleet.. " Poinnting at the Captain," Shame on you.. We are all on the same team now.. Commander Delia.. I am the new science officer.."

Everyone is quiet..

"Let Keliea know.. On the Jem Ha'Dar vessal," Captain Ringo speaks in a weird language..

"Captain, " Kail looked at Ringo..  "When translated, Rubbing her fur is.. Oh.. I see.." Seeing commander Delia's face, "Commander.. I chased this human, now Captain, across the surface of a planet when he was an acting ensign.. My predecessor,Kail number 12, was disposed of for her failure.. Midshipman Ringo eluded me for fourteen days, with thirty two wounded, eighteen children, and thirty six civilians. this was after we had executed the Klingon and starfleet personnel.. He is very devious, almost Vorta like.. He made such comments as I chased him.."

"It took starfleet two days to find us after the dominion withdrew.. F#$%ing retards," Ringo shook his head.

V'Roum chuckled at the comment..

"Lt. Benz.. Find our new research officer her quarters.." commander Delia was not very happy, "Captain.. "

"Interesting.. A type A personality deltan female having to report to a beta male human.." Kail seemed ecstatic, "I read our files on all of you. So very interesting.. Such an odd choice for a crew Captain Ringo.."

"Belay your last order," Ringo spoke to Lt. Kail.. Looking at the view screen as the Jem Ha'Dar vessel left, "Take the science station.."

Caozel chuckled drawing attention, "The Vorta Keliea said maybe next time Captain.. Interspecies mating rituals is a hobby of hers.."

Captain Ringo ignored the chuckles as he looked at Risa..

"Sir.. Admiral Jessups is waiting for his supplies.. " Lt. Caozel read the message, "He wishes to speak with on Risa..At your earliest convenience."

"Commander Delia.. Assemble an away team.. Take security with you," Captain Ringo stood up.. "Ensign Sloan to my ready room.. "

Shaking her head, "Now ignoring an Admirals request. " Delia turned to the security officer, "Lt. Benz.. Ensign V'Roum.. Lt. Caozel.. We will take Doc tran and.."

"Belay that," Ringo said with an even tone."Commander.. My ready room. Lt. Kail.. you have the bridge."

The Vorta female walked to the Captains chair and sat down, "Lt. Vail assumed the bridge.."

The console beeped acknowledged the change.

"The is Lt. Kail.. I have assumed the bridge per Captains orders," Bringing up information.. "Yes.. Department heads i want hourly status reports.." Seeing Ringo's face, "From your lowest ranking person so they are familiar with communicating properly with the bridge.. Kail out.."

"Sir.. I," Commander Delia took a deep breath as Ringo held the door.. "YES SIR.."

After they walked in, Captain Ringo sat down.. "Commander.. I gave explicit orders.. No more then one senior member of on any away team.. I will rarely if ever go on away missions unless it requires my presence for diplomatic functions.."

"Sir.. This is a federation world.. There is no," commander Delia saw the stone cold look on ringo's face.. "Permission to speak freely sir.."

"Denied.. You are in training.. Commander Delia," The door chimed as Captain Ringo spoke.. Looking at the screen on his desk, "Counselor enter.."

Sloan entered and paused, "Captain.. I can feel the tension in here.."

As the door shut, "Ensign Sloan.. Why would I have the policy of only one senior member of the crew per away mission?"

"The former Captain of the Gatling.. She died planet side with the XO, Medical officer, and security chief.. It is a wise policy to," Sloan saw the glare from Commander Delia.. "Mam.. The majority of deaths of senior members of ships come from such missions. Previous deaths led to at least the regulation.."

"Ensign Sloan.. I want you to deliver the supplies," Ringo looked at the ensign.. "It will be good for the Ship counselor to get some away missions under her belt.."

"Sir.. I am not," Sloan was interrupted..

"Commander Delia thinks it so safe that nothing will happen.." Ringo narrowed his eyes, "Commander Delia.. You will fly one of the Craptastic Alpha flyers with a crew of four.. Take a set of supplies with you to beam down on the opposite side of Risa.. I will write out your orders before you leave."

Sloan narrowed her eyes with a lot of hate at the Commander, "Sir.. I have never lead an away team.."

"Relax ensign.." Commander Delia shook her head, "It is a federation world.. "

"So this is good practice for you.. Nice and safe," Ringo's comment makes Sloan visibly pissed for a second..

"Sir.. I will deliver the supplies," Sloan was very pissed..

"Send Lt. Benz to my ready room," Ringo went back the computer screen

On the viewscreen a woman with red hair smiled, "My baby made Captain.. Our neighbors are still talking about you. Hero of the borg invasion." She looks at the leg, "Your sister is a pioneer in replacement organs.. Let me talk to her baby.. I am sure she.."

"Mama.. I am fine,"Captain Ringo smiled..

An older man spoke, "I still think you joining starfleet was a mistake.. " Looking at the bridge crew, "I see you used my algorithms to select a crew.. Hum.. Did you tell starfleet where you got that?"

"Dad.. Yes.. I joined starfleet because I am not as smart as you, mama, Gwen, Amanda, Thelonias, or Wyatt.." Captain Ringo shook his head, "I did not cal to argue Dad.. I.. I just realised I never checked on you.."

"Papa bear leave my baby alone.. He is obviously using every trick he has to command this vessel.. You still owe me a back rub and three hours of massaging my feet.. You said he would never command a starship, Mr. Smarty pants." Mrs. Ringo shaked her head, "Now you can tell everyone all our children succeeded.. A starfleet Captain in the family of Scientist, Doctors, and Engineers.. And dont you dare say crap about this coming from me Professor.. You married a sixteen year old student of yours.. He gets his starfleet wild hair drive from you baby.." 

"I still say he is the milkman's baby," Ringo sighs as his father winks at him..

Several members of the crew chuckle at Ringo senior's statement..

"Well at least the milkman cuddles," Mrs. Ringo stuck her nose up in the air..

"Doctor Ringo.. Lt. Kail, " the Vorta spoke quickly.. "If its ok with you I would love to submit my analysis of this crew to the Federation foremost expert in psychohistory and mathematics.. I can promise the most accurate data.."

"A vorta scientist.. You have deal if you include a separate section with comparison to the Jem Ha'Dar command structures.." Doctor Ringo grinned, "I will give you a peer review, but I warn you.. "

"I have read all your papers sir.. I am aware of the incident at the Vulcan science academy.. I personally gave the orders during the Dominion war that you and your wife were to be captured alive." Lt. Kail grinned, "I expect nothing but intellectual honesty.. I find it interesting to sir.. Captain Ringo grew up in a house of geniuses.. May I include my analysis of the Captain in the report.."

"We are out of milk darling," Mrs. Ringo comes from the kitchen.. "Maybe the milkman will be proud.."

"Son.. " Doctor Ringo looked at his wife and stuck out his tongue, "I guess me and the milkman need to talk. I will go grab the old shotgun. Do you remember little suzy? She was visiting her aunt and asked about you.."

"Sir.. Admiral Jessups is hailing us," Lt. Caosel smiled.. "Saved by the bell.."

"Let me know if they give you any hassle son," Doctor Ringo smiled.. "We have a few friends in starfleet command.. Break a leg son.."

As his father cut the line, "Put the Admiral on the main screen."

"Captain Ringo.. It is not standard procedure to keep a four star waiting.." 

"Admiral Jessups.. Doctor Ringo and Doctor Ringo were talking with my science officer," Captain Ringo spoke confidently.

""Your mother and father," Admiral Jessups paused..

"Sir that is no excuse for disrespect," A human Captain spoke in the admirals ear.

"Captain Cartwright.. Captain Ringo's parents and siblings are among the Federation's brightest engineers and scientist.. When I was just a commander, Doctor Ringo decided he wanted to go the romulan neutral zone to study some weird readings.. My captain said no.. Starfleet command and the romulan government approved it.. Three days later I made Captain.."

"Sir.. Lt. Kail.. I have Doctor Ringo's approval for three separate peer review papers," The Vorta spoke with a polite smile..

Admiral Jessups barely caught his glare in time, "The Dominion scientist from our officer exchange program.. Very well.. Captain ringo.. Why is the Alpha Flyer flying over the northern continent?"

"Commander Delia is delivering the supplies to the base there.. My crew needs away mission time," Captain Ringo spoke..

"Captain.. I read her complaints she filed.. Captain.. You are still new to the chair," The older Admiral sighed.. "You beamed down your counselor with a security detail.. I was expecting for you to let your crew to enjoy some R and R.. "

"Sir," Ringo hid his tone.. "I have to get them all qualled sir.. In case of an emergency.."

"So your using this delivery run to get your people qual'ed," Captain Cartwright smiled as he sighed.. "Captain Ringo.. We are hosting a dinner tonight for the crews in orbit.. A required function.. Your senior staff is invited.."

"It is NOT a request Captain," Admiral Jessups spoke calmly.." The Risan government will be here as well.. They wish to meet you Captain.. 1930 captain.. Sharp.."

"Aye sir.. Let me get some things done sir," Captain Ringo smiled.. "I will leave the Night watch in charge.. Admiral.. be there at 1900. Carrying on Admiral?"

"1900 Captain," Admiral Jessups cut the com..

Captain ringo sat back very quiet, "Lt. Benz.. Contact Commander Delia.. We have a huge F#$%ing problem.."

"The admiral is a little to interested in all of us being there," The Vorta spoke from the science station..

"Run an analysis of the Admiral's conversation," Captain Ringo spoke as he rubbed his knee..

"Has there been any reports from any of our outpost," Admiral Janeyway looks out the bay window. "I do not believe Captain Ringo and the USS Gatling were destroyed.."

Reginald Barkley swallowed hard, "Admiral.. Ambassador Neelix has contacted you.. Wants to know how your courtmartial went? "

"Neelix," Janeway takes a moment.. "I spoke with him yesterday.."

"He claims it has been weeks," Reginald Barkley pauses.. "He requested medical supplies for New Talax from the Federation.."

Janeway turns to her desk.. "Janeway to the bridge.. Contact New Talax.. Transfer it to my ready room."

"Aye Admiral.. Contacting New Talax," The Bridge officer responds.. "Ambassador Neelix is responding.. Transfering it to your ready room.."

"Neelix," Admiral Janeway smiles.. "I missed your call yesterday?"

"Are you missing a Ship Ca.. Admiral? With a crew," Neelix smiles..

"Neelix," Admiral Janeway chuckled.. 

Captain Ringo walks onto the Screen, "Admiral Janeway.. "

"Captain.. I take it this will be a very interesting story," Admiral Janeway leans back..

"Mam I have encoded my report.. We activated the Slipstream drive at the last minute.. But.. There have been a few changes to me and my crew.." Captain Ringo lifts his leg that should be gone, "I myself went through a few things.."

"What happened at Risa," Janeway speaks quietly?

"They are Called the So'Ju'Srow.. They are of human descent.. " Captain Ringo speaks coldly, "They have inflitrated parts of the Federation.."

"Captain Ringo," Janeway freezes when a human in chains is brought to the fore.. "Captain.."

Ringo holds the orange skinned woman, "Tell her.."

"Captain.." The woman pleads, "Your Captain has flipped his lid.. "

"Please Lehcar.. " Captain Ringo shakes his head, "Admiral Janeway is planning to send out MORE ships.." Standing menacingly over her," She is spreading the human race to.."

"You are a humanist holex.. You Originators have a long way to go.. We will help change you for the better.. The Federation is way to much a human centric," Lehcar freezes as Admiral Janeway raises an eyebrow.. "Admiral we are human.. Cute Captain.. You triggered me "

"Her title is Coworker Steward," Captain Ringo speaks coldly.. "You would have discovered them if you had not cheated to get home.. They are about half way to earth.."

"Admiral," Neelix takes a deep breath.. "Coworker Steward Lehcar was caught by the Captain and his crew here on New Talax. They had a Duck Blind set up here.."

"We observe races in the process of developing unity," Coworker Steward Lehcar states.. "I have committed no crime.. Why is this Captain holding me captive? Like a slave"

"Because you people," Captain Ringo's response makes Lehcar yank her physical chains. "Attacked me and my ship..  We have been through hell for six months.. "

"Admiral," Neelix takes a deep breath.. "Starfleet might want to send vessels here..  Captain Ringo has showed up with a new vessel.. He Adapted and overcame.."

"It is cultural theft," Lehcar growled.. "That technology does not belong to you.. You stole from the People of the So'Ju'Srow.. It is Cultural Appropriation at its worst.."

"You have command of one of their vessels," Admiral Janeway takes a deep breath..

"No.. I have a vessel being constructed by what amounts to slave labor.. Not associated with any power.. By the laws of intersellar abandoned junk.. I claimed it.." Smiling, "The So'Ju'Srow have refused all hails and do not acknowledge the ships existence.."

"Captain Ringo has granted asylum to the workers... Admiral, Our resources are limited but we are doing what we can," Neelix speaks quietly..

"Captain Ringo.." Janeway swallows hard, "Please put Coworker Steward Lehcar placed in confinement with the other members you found.. I am sending the Delta quandrant fleet to New Talax.."

"Admiral.." Neelix took a moment, "Make sure you have counselors on those ships.. Captain Ringo was serious over.. Over Changes.."
