Deep Space 102 - 10901.23

Federation Lampoon's Galactic Vacation

Episode 2:  Welcome to Griswaldia!

Host Gerry says:
Previously on DS102:

The crew of Deep Space 102 is headed to a secured Federation location for a vacation.  On the way there, they intercepted a distress call from a shuttle with depleted dilithium crystals...
Tom Griswald and family, as it turns out were on that shuttle, which has been brought aboard the USS Scorpius for repair and resupply. The XO has just dropped them off in sickbay to be checked over by Medical and is now on his way to the bridge.

CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::On the Bridge of the Scorpius at tactical, monitoring long-range scans::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Computer: Bridge
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*CTO*: Commander, make sure we are back on course to Wonderspace at the best possible speed
SC_Marek says:
CO: So, as I was telling you, Captain, I will now be facing a dangerous foe, my own mind. But I am confident on a positive result, since the Doctor has done an early diagnosis.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell  (EMH.wav)
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> ::Appears in Sickbay and sees strangers in his medical bay:: Aloud: Please state the nature of the medical emergency.  ::Walks over to the instrument tray and picks up a medical tricorder::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.  ::Looks over at the helm:: Relief FCO: Flight...status, please.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
EMH:  Uh...Hi!  I'm Tom Griswald!
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::In the Griswald shuttle, looking over at his sister.:: CSO: Ready to get back to the bridge?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: So you do not consider resigning for now, only a sort of temporary retirement?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::arrives to the Bridge and enters, surveying the ongoing operations::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> Griswald: Congratulations, now what can I do for you?  ::Eyes the children milling about Sickbay and frowns::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Report?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::closes tricorder:: FCO: Yeah I guess.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
EMH:  This is my family.  Jane, my wife, my son Joey, and my daughter Melissa.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
EMH:  That Commander fellow said we needed to be uh... checked out. Whatever that means!
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Makes sure none of the shuttle's settings were altered and exits.:: CSO: That was fun. ::Big smile.::
SC_Marek says:
CO: Only if the Doctor recommends so. Keeping my mind active and busy is therapeutic for me
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: We're on schedule to our destination, Commander.  Nothing on long range scans to report.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Excellent, and out current destination is?
SC_Marek says:
CO: I am still waiting for one last test result. He promised to have it ASAP.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> Griswald: Very well, you and your wife have a seat on biobed one and the children... put them on bio bed two.  ::Moves towards bio bed one::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::hoping that the destination has not changed due to the current Griswald situation::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
ACTION:  The Griswalds all do as they are told...
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Our destination is Wonderspace, Sir.  I thought you knew that, Commander.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Alright, we are on shore leave anyway so it should not be a problem. I would suggest a regular schedule of medical scans in the future to prevent any deterioration to influence on your command and have you relieved in time if the worst happens
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> ::Pulls the medical scanner from the top of the medical tricorder and begins scanning the Griswalds as he hums a little song::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Yes, but with the Griswalds now aboard, I hadn't heard if there had been a change. Maintain current speed and heading.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
FCO: I'm sure. ::trots next to him:: Don't you have a model of one of those?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Aye, Commander.  ::Continues monitoring the long range sensors::
SC_Marek says:
CO: Captain, ::smiles:: I was a Tactical Officer during my whole career... If that did not turn me into a nut job.... What could do that? ::stands and salutes the Captain::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CSO: Yeah, I do. It was one of my favorite models when I was little.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> ::Waves the scanner around both adults then moves to biobed two and scans the children::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
FCO: Uh huh...how many times did you crash it? ::grins::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Alright, good luck captain
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> Griswald: Well, the good news is that scans are clear.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Chuckles.:: CSO: Oh, shush.
SC_Marek says:
CO: Thanks, much appreciated, Captain. ::nods and heads to Bridge::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Steps into the turbolift.::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
::smiles at his wife::  Jane:  See honey?  ::winks at the kids::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::follows him into the TL::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> ::Puts the tricorder back on the instrument tray:: Griswald: Did anyone happen to mention where the Chief Medical Officer went?  ::Looks around at the mess in Sickbay::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
Computer: Bridge. CSO: So, wanna help me find some Federation facilities for shore leave?
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CSO: Or are ya busy?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
FCO: I have to run diagnostics. ::said sadly:: But I'll help once I get them started.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::enters
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Smiles.:: CSO: Sounds good.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Enters sickbay::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> ::Sees the Chief Medical Officer arrive in Sickbay:: CMO: Ah, Doctor, I'm glad to see you.  I've run scans on all our guests and they are clear.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
EMH: Thank you. I will take over from here.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> CMO: Very well, Doctor.  ::Waits for the deactivation order::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
Computer: Computer deactivate the EMH.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<EMH> ::Deactivates::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
CMO:  Wow!  That's pretty neat!  ::looks wide-eyed at his kids::  Isn't it kids!
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::TL arrives. Steps out and walks to the helm.:: Relief FCO: I'll take it from here. Thanks.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
Tom_Griswald: And how is everyone feeling today?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Relief FCO> ::Nods to the FCO and gets his butt up off of the chair::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::heads to her console on the bridge and begins running diagnostics::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Sits down and pulls up star charts.:: Self: Alright... lessee here...
Host Tom_Griswald says:
CMO:  Oh... uh... fine Doctor!  ::all the Griswalds nod and agree happily::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
FCO: Well, Ensign, how did you like that antique in the Shuttlebay?
SC_Marek says:
*CMO*: Doctor, please, as soon as you finish with the routine inspection over our visitors, please, see to finish that test. I will be in my quarters. Marek out
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CTO: Loved it! They don't make 'em like they used to. ::Winks.::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods and smiles:: FCO: Glad you enjoyed yourself.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
*SC*: Aye sir
CNS_Rand says:
::walks down the corridor from her offices and enters Sickbay::
SC_Marek says:
::remains for a while in the Bridge, then heads to the TL::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods to the SC as he enters the turbolift::
CNS_Rand says:
CMO:  How are our guests doing?  All clear?
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Commander. A busy day, isn't it?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::puts her face in her paw and watches her diagnostic::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: It would seem so, Captain.... at least in Sickbay and Shuttlebay One, Sir.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: They are all clear and they are released to you.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Anything unusual show up on your scans of the shuttle?
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Well, at least we have a well deserved shore leave coming. We all need it. ::smiles and enters the TL::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks at his sister.:: CSO: Having fun over there?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
FCO: Yeah I guess.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
::nudges wife::  Jane:  See?  We're cleared and released!
CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: CMO:  Thank you, Commander.  ::turns to the guests:: Tom/Jane: I'm Commander Rand, ship's counselor... but you may call me Kalla.  Shall we, since you're finished here?
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Jane Griswald> Released from what?  ::smiles::  Okay Kids!
SC_Marek says:
::directs the TL to the living quarters deck::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
CTO: Oh, no ma'am. Just space dust and stuff.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
::amorous grin at CNS::  CNS:  Uh, sure!  Whatever you say!  Kalla.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Very well, Ensign, carry on.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Security team> ::Waits for the CNS and the guests to leave Sickbay::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Sits to finish the tests of the SC::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
CTO: Yes ma'am.
CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: Jane: Medical.  ::moves toward the doorway::  Have you been assigned guest quarters?
SC_Marek says:
::exits the turbolift and firmly walks to his quarters. Suddenly he has the urge for a meditation exercise::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Tom/Jane>  ::look at each other blankly::   CNS: Uh... no, we don't think so...  ::together::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Security Team> ::Falls in behind the CNS and the guests::
CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: Tom/Jane/children:  What would you like to see?
SC_Marek says:
::enters his room and walks to his desk, and starts checking his agenda for the rest of the day::
CNS_Rand says:
::leads the group down the hall and toward the lift:: Tom/Jane: If you're hungry, we can visit the lounge.  Then there are the holodecks, the gym, the arboretum, or we could go to the observation deck?
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Joey>  CNS:  I wanna see the phaser room!  <Melisa> CNS:  I wanna see the Arboretum!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::wonders just how well things are going with those watching over the new guests::
CNS_Rand says:
::chuckles:: Joey: I'm afraid the phaser room is off limits.  Why don't we all follow Melisa's idea.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Joey>  ::sulks::  It's always off limits because I wanna do it...
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Looks at the results in disbelief and reruns the results::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
Joey:  Now son, we can't just let every Tom Joey and Griswald look everywhere.
CNS_Rand says:
::presses the call signal for the lift, then holds the door for everyone as the doors open.:: Joey: Not just you.  I'm not exactly welcome there myself.  You have to have special clearance.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Joey>  Tom:  I hate you.  I hate this vacation!
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Security Team> ::Follows the group into the turbolift::
CNS_Rand says:
Tom/Jane:  Where were you going for vacation??
Host Tom_Griswald says:
CNS:  Heh... sorry about that.
SC_Marek says:
::goes through his agenda, hit the "send" button for all his reports, and then heads to the center of the room to start his meditation::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: walk out of his ready room to the bridge ::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
CNS:  We're headed for Wonderspace.  I've got a cousin that got us a good deal.
CNS_Rand says:
Tom:  No worries, it's understandable really.  
SC_Marek says:
Computer: Ambience lights at 10%. ::seats on a cushion and starts his meditation::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: ETA?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Captain on the Bridge. Three hours at present course and speed, Sir.
CNS_Rand says:
Tom:  Sounds interesting.  ::leads the family off the lift and toward the arboretum:: All:  The Arboretum contains plant life from all over the galaxy.  You may even find some rare samples.
CNS_Rand says:
Tom:  How long have you been traveling?
Host Tom_Griswald says:
Family:  Wow!  How about that!  Rare samples!  ::tries not to look lustily at the CNS in front of his wife::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Sees the Captain enter the Bridge::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
CNS:  We'd been slowed down to impulse for about 24 hours, and it would have been a month or so if you hadn't come along.  
Host Tom_Griswald says:
CNS:  Actually, the kids were starting to get antsy.  We're glad you came along when you did.
CNS_Rand says:
::flashes Tom a smile as she nods in understanding:: Tom:  That would explain the children's displeasure at the trip.  That would be a terrible delay.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Any report on the repair needed by the shuttle?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
*SC*: Sir I need to speak with you as soon as possible.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Last I heard, they depleted their dilithium crystals
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Any we can spare?
SC_Marek says:
::hears the comm and takes a deep breath to finish his meditation and answers the Doctor:: CMO: I am on my way.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: and that was the extent of the problem. Sir, can we just replace them for them? They're rather expensive, Sir.
CNS_Rand says:
Melisa:  Those examples over in the corner are from Betazed.  The fountain was designed after a temple on Bajor.
SC_Marek says:
::stands up:: Computer: Standard Ambience light. And adjust the temperature 0.5 degrees up. ::straightens his uniform and exits his quarters::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Melissa>  CNS:  Wow!   ::looks around in awe::  This place is really cool!
CNS_Rand says:
Jane:  What type of plants do you like?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Yes, we have some spare crystals in storage. <edit-move this line ahead of my last line>
SC_Marek says:
::heads for the nearest TL:: Self:: A lot of TL traveling today... ::enters the TL:: TL: Sickbay
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Joey>  Self:  This place sucks.
CNS_Rand says:
Tom:  The botanists that tend the gardens here really take special care to have a wide variety.  There is something from the home-world of nearly everyone on board.  
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks down at the incoming report:: CO: Oh, there are a number of sub-systems, like replicators, that are in need of repairs. Nothing Engineering can't easily handle, Sir.
CNS_Rand says:
Joey:  Perhaps you would be more interested in the carnivorous plants?
Host Tom_Griswald says:
CNS:  Really!  ::is more interested in the CNS than the arboretum::
SC_Marek says:
::feels the TL come to an stop, heads out and walks to the Sickbay::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I don't say to give them all our store of crystals but a few for whatever travel they need to do for what they do
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Joey>  CNS:  Wow...you have those on board?  ::is suddenly interested::
SC_Marek says:
::enters the Sickbay and heads for the Doctor's office::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Jane> ::oblivious to her husband's interest in the CNS::  Tom:  This is a really wonderful place!
CNS_Rand says:
Tom: Yes, there is a plant here from Delta IV that is believed to have aphrodisiac effects.  ::nods to Joey:: They're in an area that is viewable, but not very accessible.  ::motions down the aisle:: Right this way.
SC_Marek says:
::rings the door chime::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
Jane:  Yes... yes it is!  ::looks at the CNS from behind::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Make sure they can have it repaired before we arrive for shore leave or place the teams in rotations on the problem so no one misses the shore leave
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Joey> Wow!  ::hurries off in the direction indicated by the CNS::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Skipper. Consider it done. I'll inform OPS. ::sends message to OPS to release dilithium crystals from stores for the Griswalds' shuttle::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: Enter
SC_Marek says:
::enters:: CMO: Doctor, ::nods::
CNS_Rand says:
::leads the Griswalds to the viewing stand::  Joey:  Those plants are native to Betazed.  Larger specimens found only in the wild have been known to trap large animals.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: You had better sit down for this sir.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Have the engineers install them, something tells me that Griswald is no engineer himself.....
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Joey>  CNS:  Wow!  How big of an animal could these trap?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Sir, I'm amazed who they'll grant a license to these days.
CNS_Rand says:
Joey:  These wouldn't be able to trap more than a large rat.
SC_Marek says:
CMO: ::raises an eyebrow:: More grim news, I assume. ::sits down::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::sends a second note to Main Engineering about fixing the Griswald's shuttle::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: I have news about the results of your test sir.
SC_Marek says:
CMO: I am all ears.
CNS_Rand says:
All:  Anyone hungry?  
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: Well sir I find the best way to do these things is to come right out with them.
SC_Marek says:
CMO: Proceed then, Doctor.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Joey> CNS:  I am!  <Melissa> CNS:  Me too!  <Tom/Jane> CNS:  Actually yes.  ::together::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: They assume that the ships fly themselves and no one need to know a thing to get a ship
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Clears his throat::
CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: All: Then lets head for the lounge. The ship's cook can fix just about anything.
SC_Marek says:
CMO: All right, how many minutes do I have left?
CNS_Rand says:
::leads the way back out of the arboretum, through exhibit of Vulcan foliage::  
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<whole family> CNS:  Great!  Lead on! I'm hungry!  Wow, food that doesn't suck!
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: Sir it is unbelievable but the results of your tests were an anomaly. The results come back as positive rarely and apparently that is what happened in your case. It would seem you are actually just fine sir.
