ON:

Jon was certainly feeling on top of the world. He smiled taking a further drag of the joint and handed it over to Lieutenant Haistro. They had been smoking this for about ten minutes now.

Next to him he could sense that everyone was pleased he had conceded to allow her to shoulder the burden too. Although not to happy to see two senior officers getting stoned up on the bridge. It was certainly going to be an interesting mission report when he got back.

He suddenly found himself having a giggle attack. " He took some deep breathes. "Everybody relax. Im here. Im here. Right moving forward."

"So what do you think? We just think it?" Picture it a lock in our mind and we put a key in?" he asked Haistro. AU Ron had been somewhat vague on how it worked.

Ileyana was not a fan of smoking but for the greater good she had conceded and agreed to act as Jon's backup. The room was spinning, euphoria over taking her and a uncontrollable need to giggle had gripped her as she slipped from the first officers chair, landing with a thud on the floor, her hysteria only intensifying

"Datari ... I mean Lieutenant Dat ... Aiden ..." he said when it didn't fully commute in his head and he turned to the Trill .

"Deploy the programme. We are just going to wing it. I have a good feeling about this" Jon said confidently. "And someone get me a steak Canadian sandwich."

"I'll get some snacks!" Cassie said, trying not to laugh herself at the sight of two officers who under normal circumstances were prim and proper.

Aidan watched them, a look of concern on his face as he monitored them closely from his station and feeding all readings directly to sickbay. "Program deployed captain," he reported once the order was complied to.

"Don't worry Fox, Cas .. doc .... oh and Harper ... baby I'm fine. Your damn fine right now too .... ..... Oh ... Oh ... yes that certainly did something ..... you seeing the lights?" he asked Illenya as the gateway lit up and came to life from whatever Datari and Bumble had put together and transmitted to it.

On hands and knees, occasionally grasping at the wisps of light flying around her like a mob of angry sprites intent on pulling her hair, Ileyana followed them, like an infant just learning to walk on a deck rocked by the ocean tides. The laughter didn't stop even as the herd of pink floating tribbled rained from the ceiling while singing a happy tune.
"I think I'm stoned!" Ileyana's voice hoarse from the continual uncontrollable mirth she was feeling.

Returning from the replicator with a tray holding the sandwich the Captain had asked for and an assortment of other foods easily eaten with fingers. She placed it by the side of the Captain before heading over to herd Ileyana back to the Command area.

C'tora came back on to the Bridge wearing a large medical kit on his back. " I needed to get some supplies in case there are side effects. After this is over with I am going to have a sample of this drug so that I might be able to analyze it and monitor our test subjects until the drug is safely out of their system, "

Harper gripped the security station tightly and rolled her eyes. She still wasn't happy Jon had went with this decision, she still believe on a ship of over 1,000 there were plenty of other people who could have taken that horrible stuff. However, he was the Captain and if he wanted to do things his way then he could even if the drug addled man decided to hit on her in front of the whole bridge crew. She wasn't exactly sure how 'exclusive' they were and if people didn't know then they knew now, or just thought the Captain was hitting on his Security Chief. Either way, Harper kept one eye on him, and another on sensors.

Ileyana's arms were heavy, so heavy she couldn't lift them as she floated across to Jons side, still giggling as the euphoria intensified.

"Can you see her as well, just past the dancing tree", she pointed absently in the general direction of C'Tora. "She's waving at us!"

"Oh I'm real," she said walking through Illeynas dancing tree and appearing before everyone on the bridge next to the Caitain. "I am Eris."
