STTNG: Counselor Troi taken over Captain's Log, Stardate Supplemental. Dr. Crusher has begun to suspect that Counselor Troi has been taken over by an alien. I have my doubts, as the Counselor has already been taken over by five aliens in the past two seasons, far overfulfilling her quota. By the way, excellent replicated tea, this. "Must we always sit at this long table?" Riker grimaced. He never liked the overfrequent staff meetings. Picard put down his saucer, while raising an eyebrow. "What would you do, hold our meetings at the bar in 10-Forward?" "I'd permit it," said Whoopi graciously "Oh? You would?" said Picard, intrigued. Worf cleared his throat. "Captain. If we leave the bridge unattended for much longer, we may crash into something-" "Quite right, Mr. Worf," said Picard. "We're here to discuss Counselor Troi. What evidence do we have that she has been taken over by aliens?" "What evidence do we have that she hasn't?" said Worf, being a bit fatalistic. "We can't condemn her based on gossip and rumor," said Ensign Rho. "Why not?" Worf countered. "She's become different," said Riker. "Mean... irritable..." "In what way, Numba Won?" "Well," said Riker, "It's not a big thing, but when I asked her what she thought about my shaving my beard, she said, 'Don't. It hides more of your face." Dr. Crusher frowned. "This morning she touched my blue jacket and asked me who my tailor was." Worf grimaced. "Yesterday she said my decorative belt looked like a cheap rolex watchband." Kaiko made a face. "Last night she came into the arboretum, watched what I was doing, and announced "Botany sucks" to everyone." Whoopi rolled her eyes. "Two days ago she came into 10-Forward, and announced that anyone who mixed drinks for a living had to have an IQ of at least 48." Picard frowned, considering. "I admit, there are all examples of anti-social tendencies, but we can hardly take action without more concrete-" "Sir," said Data. "Last night I believe Counselor Troi... tried to come on to me." "What?" said Picard, suddenly looking alert. Data looked perplexed. "At first I thought it was my natural magnetism. As you know, quite a number of flesh and blood females-" "Yes, Mr. Data, get on with it!" "I believe the proper phrase is, she 'made a pass' at me," said Data. Picard touched his communicator. "Security! Apprehend Counselor Troi immediately." He turned to his staff. "That clinches it. None of us ever gets frisky unless an alien influence is involved." Later, in sickbay, Counselor Troi was strapped to the sickbaybed, writhing, yelling obscenities. Dr. Crusher quickly touched the mute button. "What do you think it is, Doctor?" Crusher considered. "I'm not sure, but if I had to guess, I would say that a rock is conveying the negative emotions of one of this week's guest aliens." "We could destroy the rock," said Worf, brandishing his matchbook size phaser. Picard looked surprised. "The wanton distruction of an alien piece of geology? And what of the prime directive?" He shook his head. "No, there must be another answer." Dr. Crusher's eyes fell on idoitic form of Riker. "I think I have an idea." Later.... Counselor Troi blinked, sitting up. "What happened?" Dr. Crusher gave a watery smile. "You're going to be all right." Deanna motioned to tubes connecting her to Commander Riker, who was lying on an adjacent table. "What...?" "You were feeling very wild and frisky," said Dr. Crusher. "All we did was give you a transfusion of dullness from Commander Riker to compensate." | ||||||||
