SD 07/12/03 Birdie Flips a Biker aka "MiT - Men in Trek" #8 - It's so boring in here, I actually miss all that paperwork!
Not having a chronometer on me, difficult to say how long I've been here. And without contact with the others, no telling how much longer I'll remain in this cell.
Gary Seven's men came once again to me for another interogation. It went like before, they accusing me of being a saboteur acting against these "Argelian-Vorilid treaty talks," and me trying to explain why we were really here. And like before, I wasn't able to make any progress with them. At one point, one turned to the other and remarked, "Time for the truth serum," to which he was told, "I thought you had it?" That was the end of the questioning, at least for now.
While I'd like to think it would solve my problems, drugs have a tendency to come with side effects. And as Gary Seven suposedly relied on electronice devices, it's probably some crude concoction made in this time. Not a plesant thought.
If I'm a little anxious about my fate, it's to keep from being bored. Bored, bored, bored. A stark contrast to the ship when I seldom had a spare moment in which I didn't have to work on some crisis or deal with a mountain of paperwork. Perfering to deal with a mountain of paperwork over doing nothing ... maybe Lynx was right about me needing a vacation.
I'm more determined to try to arrange a port call to Risa when I get back to the Freedom, that is, if I get back. How much time do I have left before the team has to leave?
NARRATIVE: Dammers notices a motorcycle nearby, and deciding desperate times call for desperate measures stuns the rider and takes the bike and helmets. Lynx rides with him while T'Kee scouts from above. After Brundle learns the hard way he can't out-muscle the seven foot biker furious at him, he fiegns amnesia, then runs off with the biker's keys, and after giving him the slip swipes the bike. The big guy and some of his lackeys pursue. Then something happens, and Brundle is teleported to Dammers and Lynx, with the bikers appearing a couple minutes later. After an unusual confrontation, the bikers leave. Following a confused discussion about who's who and what's going on, they head on to Las Vegas, where hopefully they'll find Lee and answers to what's going on.
