T'lyn: Outgoing communication. Provisional Lieutenant Junior Grade T'Lyn to Captain Sokel of the VCF Sh'vhal. Due to the recent unprovoked attacks on ships across the quadrant, the USS Cerritos is providing transport to three Betazoid diplomats. These glorified socialites just spent three weeks attending parties on Angel I and now intend to "keep the good times rolling" as we escort them to Risa. Despite the crew's enthusiasm, I find the Betazoids' exuberance Disruptive.

Katrot: Oh, I love your Starfleet carpeting. It's perfect to pass out on.

Freeman: It's an honor escorting you to Risa.

Thank you, Captain, but I can sense that you feel babysitting us isn't your favorite mission.

Freeman: Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm proud to-

Katrot: Shuttle a bunch of sexy drunks around?

Dolorex: (Laughter.) Katrot's just giving you a hard time. We appreciate the lift.

Cathiw: Particularly on a ship with such sturdy officers.~

Ransom: That's what I'm talking about. I get off bridge duty at 1300 hours.

Cathiw: Ugh, never mind. I like it when they're hard to get.~

Ransom: Oh, come on, give me another chance. I can be distant and unavailable.

Cathiw: (Purrs.) Now, this is a woman who seems withholding.~

Freeman: Oh, uh, well, flattered, but I'm happily married.

Cathiw: Is he on the ship?

Freeman: Uh...

Dolorex: Cathiw, we've been here for five minutes. Let's maybe check out our rooms before you devour someone.

Whoa. Hello.

Cathiw: I'll devour whoever I want, Dolorex, you sanctimonious buzzkill.

Freeman: Not to worry. We've been ordered to make sure you have a good time. Let's top off those whalebones, shall we? Lieutenant?

The Betazoids shoves the drinks towards T'lyn before they leave.

Dolorex: Oh, I'll take another yard of anything glowing and green. Thank you.

T'lyn: My posting here is usually trying, but never more than now. I feel it necessary to relay the severity of my circumstances.

T'lyn leaves with the drinks as the captain, Ransom, and the Betazoids arrive at the sickbay before T'ana caught a sense from a sniff.
