“Moments”
written by William Bolitho, Jillian Locke, and David Moody
Lieutenant Kesar jerricho, Lieutenant Serenity Jackson, and Captain Lenti Utex

Serenity Jackson watched as the Captain left, and called Doctor Frobisher over with a tap of a control she had been shown. She saw Frobisher look over at her, and head in the security officer’s direction. Peering over at her twins in the hermetically sealed crib, she smiled.

“Something I can do you for,” Frobisher asked the mother.

“I was wondering if you knew exactly what was going on aboard the ship; I felt us knocking around a bit.”

Brianne looked at the security officer questioningly. “I’m not sure what you mean,” then moved off, in avoidance of the question, to pursue other tasks.

Sere rolled her eyes and sat up. It was nearly the end of the week and she was bored anyway. She got up and reached for her Combadge. She activated it and asked for a report. What she got was rather jumbled and she scowled. She grabbed a nurse and asked her for a replicated uniform. The woman scurried off and retruned with one. Drawing the curtain Sere got dressed carefully.

Once dressed Sere asked the nurse to inform the doc that she would be back. And to take care of the Twins. She headed for the door passing Kesar on the way, where she kissed his cheek and headed for main bridge. She needed to find out what was going on.



Kesar leaned in toward the Vulcan on the biobed. “I can’t help him if he doesn’t want to be helped,” he admitted. He turned toward the young Bajoran nurse. “I won’t attempt a mindmeld unless he has given me permission,” he said, steadying himself as the ship rocked once more.

Kesar watched his future bride go towards the bridge and shook his head. "Trouble in a beautiful form. That is what she is," he whispered. "Trouble I can't help myself being near, though."

He turned back to trying to help those that needed it. And hoping that his beloved wasn't about to cause enough trouble to harm many.
