Location: Various
Timeline: Current

ON:

{Starbase 40, Admiral Blamer's Quarters}

Sprague and Blamer: ::enter::

Blamer: "Dick, there's someone I want you to meet--Captain Nougat."

Nougat: ::shakes Sprague's hand:: "I've heard a lot about you, Dick." ::has a PADD in his other hand::

Blamer: "Captain Nougat will conduct the inventory of the equipment the Albion is to deliver to Starbase 40."


{USS Albion, Cargo Bay 4}

Bruno and Jimmy G: ::enter and see all of Sprague's collected relics::

Bruno: "What is this?"

Jimmy G: "It's just a bunch of junk!"

Doors: ::close behind them::


{USS Albion, Outside Cargo Bay 4}

Andrews: "Excellent idea, Ensign Zatara."

Zatara: "Thank you, and there's more where that came from!"

Anders: ::tries to think of his own good idea::

Doors to Cargo Bay 4: ::blow off::

Bruno and Jimmy G: ::exit Cargo Bay 4 with phaser rifles::

Bruno: "Nice try, Commanda!"

Jimmy G: "Where's da real equipments?"

Anders: ::whispering to Andrews:: "Perhaps we direct them to Cargo Bay 5, where the equipment delivery for Starbase 40 is stored? They'd be destroying their own cargo!"

Andrews: ::immediately turns back to Bruno and Jimmy G:: "Oh, is this Cargo Bay 4?" ::looks at the label next to where the door used to be:: "I meant Cargo Bay 5, my mistake!"


{USS Albion, Cargo Bay 5}

Bruno and Jimmy G: ::enter::

Andrews: ::from outside the door:: "Let us know if you need any help!"


Some time later...

{USS Albion, Cargo Bay 5}

Anders: ::enters with a big smile on his face:: "I wonder what damage they've inflicted on themselves." ::chuckles, and then looks around to see everything in order as it was before:: "Nothing?!?"


{USS Albion, Engineering}

Zatara: ::enters while reading a PADD, not paying attention to her surroundings:: "Warp Core visual inspection... I hate these manual checks." ::looks up to see every single display and piece of equipment broken:: Gulp! ::taps comm badge:: "Computer, what is the current location of Bruno and Jimmy G?" ::doesn't hear Mack's incoming message::

Computer: "Bruno and Jimmy G are currently located in the forward torpedo room."


{USS Albion, Cargo Bay 6}

Container Mack mentioned in his last post: ::sitting alone in the room::

OFF:

What's next? And what's going on with our crewmembers who ended up in the Starbase 40 Brig?
