Bashir: (kisskiss) Why are we still talking? (kiss kiss kiss)
(lmao, that's pretty cheesy for RP dialogue XD)

Holmes: Maybe so... (Gives her a tired smile) Thanks, Jadzia. Hey, I finally managed to call you by your name instead of your rank! Must be the spots.

Can't wait to see how it comes out :)

xD It really is. I emailed her to you. In pdf format. I hope you have adobe acrobat. x( stupid scanner, converting it to the wrong file type.

No problems opening it. It's an odd thing to point out, but you got the ST medical color right. What color did you use for that?

Really great pic ^^

I just used the blue that came in my colored pencil set. I'm not sure what the name of it is, and I'm not sure where the set is atm. xD But I was pretty happy with how accurate it looked. One thing I hate about colored pencils is the grainy-ness of it.

Thanks. ^^

The reason I asked is that I've been reading ST books for years, and no one can agree on just what color ST medical wears. Blue, aqua, blue-green, etc. This looked right, so that's what prompted the question.

np :)

Well, it varies, depending on the time period of the show. Some ARE aqua, and some ARE blue-green. It just depends.

Again, sorry I'm taking soooo long on my pilot. xD

True enough. I can usually pick out a pattern (like 'oh, it's blue-green' in TNG and 'aqua' in Voyager/DS9), but I haven't noticed anything like that. I wanted to make sure that I referred to it correctly in our co-op, if there was a correct way to refer to the color.

It's okay. It's just making me want to read it more ^^ I've been writing up short ideas and elaborating on them.

xD I think just "blue" would suffice. Honestly, to me, they look more "aqua" than "blue-green."

x) I'm punishing you for... I'm not sure yet, but it'll come to mind eventually.

What sorts of ideas?

lol, I'm probably overthikning the issue a bit. I really can't see anyone giving a crap XD

Let me see...always ending my fics with a cliffhanger?

Let's see...some stuff for the universe, Trill spots for Holmes, a few ideas for Bajor, plus the stuff I've already told you about. Stuff like that.

xD Yes, dern you!

Ah, I see.

I've gotten to where they land the shuttle in the Odyssey, and she's granted permission to come aboard. That's as far as I've gotten so far, but I'm about to work on some more of it!

lol, sorry. But that's how I keep readers! Then again,you and Andr28a might actually keep coming back regardless.

Yes, I want more! And I promise I'll tone down the length of my chapters from now on. I was a little over excited when we started XD

xD Of course we would! We're your number one fans! xDD

Well, don't feel constrained to a limit. I'm just slower on this for some reason. I mean, there's a different 'feel' to this -verse than Naruto. You can't sum it up in 15 minutes (or 2000 words). I mean, real DS9 episodes are about 45 minutes long. Just saying.

Thanks! I haz fanz!

True, but I think that if we format the way we talked about, a 5500 word chapter is superflous. I don't know; we'll have to see what sort of formatting works out. Two long chapters or maybe four medium sized ones to an 'episode'.

That... made me bust out laughing. xD

Well, I think for a pilot it's appropriate. But yeah, it'll be easier when we don't have to describe quite so much.

I do appreciate your patience. I'm usually not so slow when I'm writing.

I'm glad :D

Yes, it'll definitely get more simple from here.

No problem at all ^^ I had an advantage by writing that Voyager fic, plus being familiar with DS9 atm. I'd rather you took your time and liked your end product than rushed on my account and wound up disliking your own work. That's too close to something I would do XD

Fair enough. It did take me forever to get my hands on a couple DS9 episodes, to refresh my memory.

Anywho, while I'm working, how are you this evening?

I like that explanation. The other is that I have too much time on my hands and live in a fantasy universe more often than not XD So let's go with 'I just watched DS9 and you just got back to it' :D

Well...to be honest, not well. I've been sort of depressed for a number of reasons. But I'll get over it in short order ^^ How was your day?

Is it anything you want to talk about? If not, that's fine, too.

Cold and wet. We had below 50 degree weather, with rain. And windy! Bleh.

Also, is the Odyssey particularly lavish in its furnishings? I'm trying to scope Amy's reaction to the tour of the ship, but I'm not sure what it looks like on the inside.

I'd be perfectly willing to talk about it, but I'm not sure what 'it' is. I'm thinking it's just a conglameration of school, work, and other stress just finally catching up with me. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is :\ That makes it frustrating as all hell, which no doubt makes the whole thing worse.
lol, look at me, i'm a paradox like Scrodinger's cat!

Seriously, I appreciate the offer. If I figure out what's going on, I'll definitely open up :)

Same here. It was that miserable fine, clingy rain, too!

Let's see...the bridge was similar to Enterpise B's, but more condensed, with the back wall being closer. That's all you really ever saw of the ship. But being Galaxy class, I would say it's comparable to Enterprise D in every other way. Sorry I can't be more help there :(

For the record, I really liked the starfleet uniforms in 'Generations'. They seemed like a good segway between the TOS uniforms and the TNG uniforms.

So, I could have her comment on how big the ship is. There's like, gotta be at LEAST a hundred decks. Or more. I'm not sure how many the enterprise had, but it was a lot.

I just realized I paid no attention to the first part of the comment.

I'm more than happy to help! I always have an ear available to lend.

Yes, I hate that kind of rain!

I looked it up: 42 decks on Enterprise D. I thought there was more than that. Some other facts:
Maximum warp: 9.9 (at extreme risk)
Length:641 meters
Width: 463 meters
Height: 195 meters

And if you REALLY want to have Amy get the luxury treatment, you could have the 'shuttle' be Keogh's 'Captain's Yacht'. I had forgotten that the Galaxy class had that, but after I saw it on wikipedia I remembered that episode where Picard and Wesley are in the Captain's Yacht together on the way to Picard's heart replacement.

That's alright. I appreciate the offer :)

Ah. Well, I'm about to have the Odyssey run into trouble when they're trying to transport Amy over to DS9, but I'm wondering if I should put in some very minor crew interactions, where Amy sees how they think of her as "the Admiral's spoiled daughter." .... I suppose I can let you see what I have. xD If we keep doing this, you're going to get to read the entire pilot in little segments.

Here ya go:


And who knows? Maybe someday you’ll get to serve on a real starship. Have you ever thought about serving on the Odyssey? Picard, he’s a great man, but he’s gotten soft with old age. Between you and me, I’m not sure he has what it takes to command a starship out there on the frontier. Out there you have to make snap decisions, hard choices. You can’t let your emotions get in the way; you have to be willing to sacrifice a few lives for the greater good. Picard does not fit that bill.”

“I’ll… keep it in mind, sir,” Amy replied, working very hard to keep the irritation out of her voice. She was beginning to take an inherent dislike to this man. Luckily, before the Captain had a chance to continue, they caught sight of the Odyssey. Amy’s mouth dropped open- the ship filled the shuttle’s entire view-screen! She’d heard stories, but it was hard to imagine the sheer size of it until it was staring her in the face. Keogh tapped his Commbadge and issued the first of many orders on this venture.

“Keogh to Odyssey. Open the doors to Shuttle-bay 2.”

“Doors to Shuttle-bay 2…. Open, sir!” came the reply, and the occupants of the shuttle watched as the shuttle-bay doors slid open. Once the doors locked into place, Amy maneuvered the shuttle in and gently touched her down. As soon as the shuttle-bay doors were closed, she ran the standard-procedure system checks before opening the shuttle door and shutting down. The Captain got off first, then turned around and stood to attention. Amy grabbed her duffel bag before snapping to attention, herself.

“Permission to come aboard, sir?”

“Granted, Ensign. Welcome aboard the Odyssey.”

--

After a very thorough tour of the Odyssey, Amy was finally allowed to relieve herself to her quarters for the night. Keogh had told her that they’d be reaching DS9 in about 16 hours; great thing, warp drive. After a few hours of rest, she was to report to sickbay where she would act out the rest of her stay aboard the galaxy-class ship.

I wonder if there really IS blood grass somewhere? XD

Bashir: (Grabs her and starts making out with her)

Holmes: No, no...you're the only one I'd tell this to. See, I was on the USS Guardian a year and a half ago. It was a reconstructed science vessel. And we were attacked suddenly. I was Chief Tactical Officer, so I fired back. Our ship was underpowered in both engines and weapons. We had a hull breach which allowed dangerous, infectious diseases to be released into the ship. I destroyed the alien ship, but not before 148 of our 150 crew members perished from the diseases that were released. I only surived because the captain ordered the bridge sealed off from main life support. I gave him the idea. And they commended me for it. For signing the death warrants of 148 innocent people, not to mention the crew of the other ship. I had no choice if ANYONE was to survive, but...(trails off)

Nerds, unite! Be proud!

I'm going to get off for the night. I'm just about to facekeyboard. That's like face-palming, except you physically pass out and smack your face XD Talk to you later!

xD There IS! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperata_cylindrica

Amy: (between kisses) Mm.. you know, patience is a virtue... One that you obviously do not possess.

Dax: Oh, Daniel. There was nothing else you could have done! You can't blame yourself for their deaths... it could just as easily have been someone else on the bridge, and you infected. You did the best you could under the circumstances. If you can't forgive yourself, Daniel, how can you expect others to?

xD Turnabout's fair play! lol sleep well, friend. I've been working a little on my pilot, and I'm hoping to have it finished in the next couple of days. So sorry it's taking me so long! I'm not sure how you managed to pull a 5500+ word chapter out of thin air in like, two days. xD That was very impressive. Anyway, I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Also, I'm toying with an idea for a later episode. Amy wakes up one morning, only to find that she can't see. But I can't think of a reasonable explanation for it, or why it would take several days to fix. Or how it could be tied to a bigger problem on DS9. Any suggestions?

ALSO, I coloured Amy. When I get to my scanner, I'll email her to you before I post her on FAC.

Bashir: The only thing stopping us is this fabric...and since you don't like to share, I could whip up one of those handy cabanas Dan cooked up.

Holmes: A price I certainly don't mind paying.

Sounds comfortable ^^ All the blood grass in my front yard is dead -_-'

A friend of my Mom's was involved in some part of ST: Generations filming (the actual physical film), and I think that's how I wound up with the shirt.
I really wish someone would make more of Trek technology a reality!

Amy: Or we could excuse ourselves due to a "medical emergency".... I'm quite certain they'd hear us through the thin walls of a cabana.

Blood grass... That sounds gruesome.

Lucky!
xD Yes! I want a commbadge bluetooth device.

Bashir: Mmm...make a little noise, do you? (interested)

What's gruesome is that typo, lol. It was supposed to be 'bloody grass' -_-' Bah, I'm tired and can't type straight.

That would be cool. I'd love to get a huge model of Voyager...

xD i just now realized that I totally left Dax out. I was too distracted by the blood grass. Sorry, Dax!

Amy: (leans in and nips at his ear) Quite more than 'a little,' my dear.

Dax: I would hope not! So, Daniel, what led you to DS9?

xD I would cry 'nerrrrrd' but I have absolutely no room to talk. Transporter technology would be quite handy.

Bashir: (chuckles) Why settle for a picture? I could be...persuaded...to repeat that little act...for a price. (Comically massages his ears like a Ferengi)

Holmes: So do you. Oh, I meant to ask- is there anything special I need to know about being in a relationship with a Trill?

Same here. His character development is the best example I've evers een.

Well, I've got to go for the night. I just realized I have to be awake in less than 7 hours. Good luck with that character pic and the pilot!

Amy: Hmm... How about you repeat it for me... but in my quarters, out of the public eye? If there's one thing you should know about a Collins; We don't like sharing.

(You've asked the wrong person on that!)

Dax: Nothing that can't be learned on the fly.

Yes, I love it.

Ah, well, good night! Have fun tomorrow with work. xD

I still say you should go for the host gig. Much better money, I'm sure. xDD

Bashir: I'm certainly fine with that. Maybe I could convince you to join me.

Holmes: Well, that's good, then. And as for me, I'm pretty straightforward, too, as evidenced by last night.

Odo had a less obvious character development, but it was done tastefully, too.

Thanks. So far, 2 out of 3 games have sucked. I skate the third in about 2 hours. Blah. Double-blah, because it'll make me later getting on FAC. I should be on about an hour or so later than usual. But I WILL be around!

lmao. The work is probably easier, too.

Amy: perhaps I could be persuaded.

Dax: And I like straightforwardness in my man.

Sounds good! I'll probably get the lineart for Amy posted in 3 hours or so.

XD I bet it is.

Also, can I see Dan's bio again? xD

Bashir: I do hope so. It sounds like great fun.

Holmes: I seem to be batting 1000 with you. I wish I'd gotten the guts up to talk to you sooner.

Awesome! I really can't wait for that!

Sure:

Name: Daniel Holmes
Rank: Ensign
Hair/Eyes: D. Brown/Hazel
Height: 5'9"
Current Assignment: Deep Space 9

Holmes is on the command track, having graduated from the academy two years ago. A certain incident led to his promotion to Ensign after being out of the academy for six months.

Ensign Holmes is ambitious, but won't trample anyone on his way to the top. He is courteous; girl shy; and has a tendency to avoid the spotlight if he believes it wasn't warranted.

Here, I'm gonna email you the lineart while I work on her bio, which I'm gonna include in the FAC submission.

Thank You!

She's adorable!

xD I'm glad you think so. I tried to get a bit of an "I really don't want to be here" expression.

lol, you succeeded. But it made her more adorable, so sorry, Amy!

xD Well, at least I succeeded. I'm almost done with her bio. Gimme 5 minutes!

I'll be here :)

STARFLEET PERSONNEL FILE:

Name: Amy Collins
Profession: Medical
Rank: Ensign
Current assignment: Deep Space Nine (Medical Officer)
Full Name: Amelia Renee Collins
Age: 23
Place of birth: United States, Earth
Parents: Raymond S. Collins, Linda E. Collins (deceased)
Education: -CLASSIFIED-
Marital status: Single
Children: None


Physical Appearance
Height: 1:70 cm
Weight: 57 Kg
Eye Colour: Blue
Hair Colour: Dark brown
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Appearance: Average

Personality:
Somewhat antisocial. Does not relate well to men, especially those in the command track. Finds it hard to make friends, but treasures them dearly once she does. Suffers from occasional anxiety problems. Has some issues trusting others, especially men.


Character background:
Having a highly renowned admiral for a father led Amy to grow up with some inferiority issues. She lived most of her life in the States, where her father was stationed, but after her mother passed, she decided to move to the U.K., to “broaden her horizons.” Dreamed all her life of serving on the U.S. Enterprise, but due to a certain incident that happened two months before she was to join the crew, her father reassigned her to Deep Space Nine, so she could “think about her actions and gain some responsibility.” That same incident is also the reason she switched from the command to the medical track.

Very nice. She's an interesting character, and the bio supplements that view. Very good an in-depth, too :D

:( I forgot to put in Sibling(s): Owen Collins

Poopie. And I already submitted it for approval. Dern it.

Ah, that happens. I've mispelled my own OC's name in a drawing before.

xD THAT takes skill.

Lol at Bashir's "great fun."

Amy: Oh, does it, now?

Dax: Well, you never know til you try, Daniel.


Anyway, so now that work's over, how was your day?

Bashir: Most certainly. We can even play 'tag'.

Holmes: It's the 'try' part that is so horrifying. If things hadn't worked out, you and I are in Ops together every day. It would have been quite a bit awkward.


Much better, thank you. Now homework is kicking my butt, but beyond that, not bad ^^ How was your day?

Amy: Or, something more up your alley... We could always play 'doctor.'

Dax: Things are only awkward if you let them be. But luckily, we don't have to think about the 'what if.' The important thing is that it did work out.

Ah, crap. You just reminded me that I have a project due last Friday in chemistry that I forgot to do over the weekend. It's a good thing I get to school early. -_-

My day was pretty good. My mom took me to look at some houses in town that we're considering. Anything to get out of this little apartment.

Oh, did you hear the news? Osama Bin Laden is dead!

Bashir: Yes, I am rather good at that game. You are too, if I'm not mistaken.

Holmes: No offense, but you've had eight lifetimes to gain that kind of calm perspective. (grins) I'm surprised it hasn't occured to Jake Sisco to ask you for advice about girls yet. I mean, it's such a rare thing to find someone who's been on both sides of the fence.

Oh, sorry about that.

Well, that's good news. Did you like any of theM?

I did! That was a surprise. I can't help but be a bit sceptical for now, since we've heard this before. But if it's the real thing this time; YAY!

Amy: Quite, quite.

Dax: Well... (looks around, then leans in) Jake's come to me on several occasions for advice, but he asked me to keep it on the down-low.

Well, it happens. To me, a lot. xD

Yeah, I liked two of them. The third one had a snake in the backyard, and if we're going to get a puppy, I don't want her to be sharing a backyard with snakes.

They said it was DNA confirmed.

Check this out! xD I should have known they'd have something like this. http://starfleetacademystore.com/#tab

Bashir: Use your imagination.

Holmes: If it had the effect I wanted- which it did- I wouldn't complain ^^

Although I like to read ST books on my e-reader.

Amy: Now where's the fun in that?

Dax: Oh, is that what you wanted?

Lmao that's awesome.

Bashir: You'd be surprised at how open to suggestion I am.

Holmes: Well, yes. Partly. Although I wouldn't have objected to either you saying 'I love you, too' or possibly you jumping my bones (laughs)

:)
So, how are you tonight?

Amy: (presses a suggestive kiss right below his ear) Oh, I know exactly how open to suggestion you are.

Dax: Well...(leans in to give him another kiss) I love you, too, Daniel. And while the second part of that sounds particularly appealing, we do have company.

I'm pretty good. I just watched the second episode of the new season of Doctor Who. I'm a very happy girl.

Bashir: (Lays down and pulls her on top of him) Comfortable?

Holmes: (Envelops her in a fond hug as the tide hits their feet) That means so much to me, Jadzia. (reaches up to kiss her due to the height difference)

That's good :)

Amy: With you, always. (nips at his shoulder playfully)

Dax: (hugs him back) of course, Daniel. You should know how much you mean to me.

They left it on a cliffhanger though, so I'm dying, waiting for next Saturday.

Bashir: (attacks her neck playfully)

Holmes: I do. Thank you. Big time. (pause, then a laugh) I was just thinking of Major Kira's reaction when she hears this juicy bit of gossip.

Oh, I hate it when that happens.

(I'm not sure there's really a 'playful' way to do that xD)

Amy: (teasing, sultry tone) Doctor, Doctor, if you don't settle down I may have to prescribe some bedrest for you.

Dax: Oh, Kira will have an aneurism. She's been dying to get me to date for years.

So what about you? How's your night?

I would guess light biting, maybe? (Shrugs)

Bashir: I won't object, unless I'll be alone in bed...

Holmes: (laughs) I could see that. Maybe with us dating, Kira and Odo will finally hook up.

It's better now. My day was miserable, thanks to work. But, I'm over it now, and happy, relaxing at home.

xD I suppose so.

Amy: What sort of doctor do you take me for?! I couldn't leave my patient alone, not as restless as he is. How else would he expend all that extra energy? (winks at him)

Dax: It's possible. He's been in love with her for as long as I can remember. Maybe once he sees all of us pairing off, he'll finally bolster up the courage to make his move.

Sorry to hear that, but glad it's better now!

Bashir: forgive me for questioning your skills. You obviously know what you're doing :)

Holmes: I'd double-date with them. I thought I was awkward when it came to this sort of thing. I think Odo and Kira would be downright amusing. And of course, we could steer them in the right direction.

Thanks :) The worst part- tomorrow I have worse teams to referee -_-' Plus an early morning. Ugh -_-'

Amy: Forgiven. (kisses him sweetly) Of course! I have excellent bedside manner.

Dax: You could give Odo little prods, and I could drop some hints for Kira... It's so much fun playing Cupid.

:( Call in sick! (jk, jk)

Bashir: You certainly do. I'm glad you're in the infirmary with me...during work or play.

Holmes: You know, that sounds like fun. But you've got to get a holo-image of Kira's reaction!

If I wasn't so greedy, I might XD College makes people greedy.

Amy: (smiles) Me too. You know, I originally started out in the command track.

Dax: (laughing) I'll see what I can do.

xD I'll remember that. You could always moonlight as a host... ;)

Bashir: Really? What made you turn to medicine?

Holmes: All the world loves a lover, Jadzia. Maybe the simple example of us being together will be enough. (grins) Man, I haven't been in such a good mood since...(blushes) last night.

lmao! Well, I DO have the lobes for business XD

Amy: Well, most of my decision was based on the fact that my dad is in the command track. I don't want to feel like I'm 'following in his footsteps' my whole life.

Dax: (looks at him out of her peripheral vision) You know, you're cute when you blush.

Oh, the lobes? It's all about the ears, man. xD

Bashir: I can appreciate that. And good thing- you've got a knack for medicine. Healing must come easy to you.

Holmes: (blushes more) Good thing I find many occasions to blush, then. (smiles) You're naturally beautiful; don't change a thing. I admit, I am a sucker for ponytails.

lmao, I've been looking for an excuse to use that phrase XD

I'll be back in 20 mins or so.

Amy: It came as a surprise to me, mostly. If my friend hadn't gone and tried to go shuttle-surfing, and I hadn't been there, he'd probably be dead and I'd probably be wearing a different uniform. And I definitely wouldn't be here.

Dax: Oh, is that so? Good thing you told me now; I'd been thinking about cutting it. (teasing)

xD I'm sure you have! ;P

'Kay. I'll be here. Also, I'm working on a 'character sketch' of Amy.

Bashir: Ohh, that is a brutal incident. What in blazes possessed him to do something like that?

Holmes: I'm sure you'd look beautiful regardless. I'm very fond of the person attached to the ponytail, after all.

I've already managed to use one of Quark's lines (substitutting the name of whoever it was I was insulting):
Okay, he's an idiot. He couldn't find a cup of water if you dropped him in a lake.

Ohh, cool! I can't wait to see that!

Amy: Well, I really don't know. He's usually so calm and rational... Not that day. I don't know what got in to him.

Dax: You know, Daniel, I think it would be interesting to see what you look like with a ponytail.

xD That's awesome. I need to use the one about rom. "Rom's an idiot. He couldn't fix a straw if it was bent."

It's looking good so far! I'm just having to use one of Jadzia's pictures as a reference for the uniform. I can never quiiiite remember how the collar cut goes.

Bashir: Well, we all have a wild streak now and then. I once went streaking across the Starfleet Medical campus at midnight on a dare.

Holmes: My hair doesn't grow that way, or I'd try it. My hair never gets any longer; it just grows out, for some reason. I'd love to try it, though.

That's one of my favorites. I can imitate almost anyone in the ST series, but Janeway and Odo...I can't quite get their voices down...

The collar cut is odd. I have trouble remembering exactly where the blue/red/gold part of the jumpsuit starts, especially in relation to the commbadge.

Amy: (shocked, unable to speak for a moment) I... Uh... (giggles) Now that is something I'd have to see in person.

Dax: Well, you have to have a certain kind of hair... and a certain face-shape, to be able to pull off a ponytail as a man.

xD Odo is very nasally. I'm also great with imitations. Especially facial ones. Do you remember the episode where Riker gets like, kidnapped by the alien kid and 'wakes up' in one of the kid's scenarios, supposedly 16 years after the event? His epic face when they cut to the commercial... I can imitate that perfectly. It's a bit of an inside joke with me and my mom. If anything dramatic happens in a show we're watching, I turn to her suddenly and make that face, and she busts up laughing.

I assume you meant "looks." xDD

Bashir: We are definitely talking about me. Rather; us. Can't do that alone. At least not as effectively.

Holmes: It is. (sighs happily) but it would be more relaxing if I wasn't wearing this tank top...

Lol, poor Dan. He's much better at 'girl talk' than Kira!

Amy: (snorts at his innuendo) Well, nobody knows how to work you quite like yourself. Ah, forgive my crudeness. I forgot I was in the presence of a gentleman.

Dax: (chuckles again) If clothes are going to come off, maybe we should retreat to our quarters...

xD It depends on what mood you catch her in, and which season you catch her in.

Bashir: You're forgiven. And maybe so, but it's much better with someone else...medically, speaking, of course.

Holmes: If you pull my shirt off here, I'll turn that lovely shade of pink you're so fond of...

True. But man, she is funny, though!
Oh! I just saw Chief O'Brien in ConAir. I had no idea he was in that movie!

Amy: (reaches up to press a kiss to his neck) Of course, dear, of course.

Dax: When you put it that way, how can I resist? (pulls his shirt off)

xD This is getting funnier and funnier. If Holmes doesn't watch it, he's going to get arrested for public indecency. And I have no idea what movie that is.

Bashir: Just remember, there is one thing that will drive a doctor mad...

Holmes: (Blushes instantly) That's much better. Thank you for your help. Oh, my spots are getting darker! You're right! (Looking at the spots on his arms and down his body)

lol, then he and Dax could have a hot little jail scene together...XD
Here, check this out: (scroll down just a bit to see Colm Meaney's name)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118880/

Amy: Oh? (intrigued) What would that be?

Dax: It's amazing how much just a few spots adds to your cuteness. (traces the line of spots down his chest with a finger)

xD Oh, you would think of that.

Oh would you look at that! xD

Bashir: when one of his patients is neglecting her health. And you're overdue for a check-up, I believe.

Holmes: Funny...I was just about to say that to you. (takes her hands) How about a walk by the water?

Yeah, I would XD

His part in the movie is really cool, too. On the small-medium side, but really funny. It's a good movie.

Amy: Oh, Doctor, I didn't realize you wanted to check me up so badly. (mischevious tone)

Dax: Sure, Daniel. (gets up and follows him)

xD I love how Julian's cracking sex joke after sex joke, and Dan's like, "let's go walk by the water." xDDD

I'll have to take a look at it. Atm I'm watching Harry Potter 7 part 1.

Doctor: It's impossible to find a lovelier patient in beauty or temperament.

Holmes: I always daydreamed about walking by the water with the girl I was in love with. (Doesn't realize what he said until it's too late)

Holmes is such a romantic. That part of Yuji is definitely still in Holmes.

It's a pretty entertaining movie. Harry Potter is too, though, for sure.

Amy: Oh, Julian, you flatter me. (blushes and looks away, embarrassed)

Dax: (surprised for a moment) What did you say, Daniel?

xD Is that a trait his creator carries?

I love me some HP. I can't wait til July 15, when the last movie EVER comes out. It's a happy/sad moment.

Bashir: I do no such thing. To borrow a quote from Ensign Holmes: "I always shoot straight". (Corrals her back toward him with an arm around her shoulder)

Holmes: What indeed (shocked, but won't take it back) I said that...I love you.

Actually, yes.I'm very much the type to attempt to do things the romantic way.

I know what you mean. Although I admit, I was a bigger fan of the books than the movies.

Amy: Well, I'm glad you think so. (Wriggles out of his grasp,only to lean up and kiss I'm sweetly)

Dax: (smiles) I'm really glad to hear you say that, Daniel. (Tugs his hand and kisses him when he stops)

I'm a totally hopeless romantic.

Well, what does it for me is to put them on different shelves in your mind and not compare them. They're both absolutely brilliant, as separate entities. But the books were phenomenal.

Bashir: You just seem to force the right words to come out of my mouth.

Holmes: (Kisses her) You mean I didn't just make a fool out of myself?

Same here. Holmes and Yuji will both see a lot of those sorts of opportunities for that reason.

Ah, for me, it's just because I'm not much of a movie person. Some things I'll watch, like Resident Evil or Terminator. They aren't well suited to books. I'm just a book person. I've got my big, comfy recliner situated near my window for just that reason.
I do enjoy both, though. Don't get me wrong. The HP movies are really well done.

Amy: That isn't all I'll force out of your mouth latter tonight. (Saucy wink)

Dax: Well, you did it so cutely I can hardly complain.

I do love me a good book.

Haha s'okay. I've gone and fallen asleep on you several times, so I can't particularly complain. ;P

Amy: Mm, is that so? I thought that was you.

Dax: It tans along with the rest of your skin. As your skin gets darker, so do the spots.

xD Well, it's hard to get out of that when you become so immersed in it for so long.

lol, true enough.

Bashir: Well...maybe both of us (big grin).

Holmes: Huh. That's an interesting effect. (Kisses her forehead) Your spots are so smooth...

It really is. So I'm going to make it a point to make them different.

Amy: (referring to the massage) I guess it pays to date a doctor... You know your way around the human physiology (if that's the right word?) quite well.

Dax: (closes her eyes and leans in) Well, the pigment is below the skin. It wouldn't affect the texture of the skin...

Well, Dan is definitely more courageous than his Naruto counterpart. Has much better luck, too! ;)

Bashir: Oh, good. I had hoped those years at med school would be worth it. (jokingly sarcastic)

Holmes: I see... Is that true for the spots here (kisses her neck) too?

He's more career focused, too. Amy is very different from Hisako, I think.

Amy: (mimicks his tone) Well, they certainly paid off. Now, could you go just a bit lower?

Dax: Mm... If I say yes, will you follow them all the way down?

It's good to hear that, but I'm curious, what makes you say it?

Bashir: (Obliges happily; at her lower back) Is this right? OR did you say higher.

Holmes: I'd love nothing better...

She's more brisk than Hisako, I think. More energetic, and slightly more diplomatic with what she says. And British :)

Amy: Mm, just a tiny bit lower...

Dax: We may have to excuse ourselves if you keep this up, Daniel...

xD Only SLIGHTLY British! She just has a hint of a British accent.

Also, I'm trying to think of a way that Keogh would compare the Odyssey to the Enterprise, trying to persuade her that the Odyssey is better, and more worthy of a transfer.

Bashir: Oh, did you say higher? Am I hot or cold? (massaging her shoulders)

Holmes: I don't think they'll notice...They're one short step away from it themselves.

lol, okay. Still something that Hisako doesn' have. XD

Maybe instead of the ship, you could have Keogh compare himself to Picard. Make himself out to be superior to Picard (which could also have the effect of irritating Amy).

Amy: Don't you play games with me, Julian Bashir. Although... (considers, her eyes drifting closed) This is also very nice. Hot, Julian. You're always hot.

Dax: (looks over at the others, then laughs) Well, I'll be. Maybe all of us should just call it a day and retreat to our quarters.

Mm, that's a great idea! That would definitely rile Amy up. Not that she could smart off to a man like Keogh without getting her record tarnished for life. xD

Bashir: What games? You know I'm innocent! (chuckles, then leans his weight on her gently so his chest is against her back). Maybe you shouldn't tease me...

Holmes: I wouldn't object to that, either.

I just don't know how you would compare the Enterprise and the Odyssey. There's just too many similiarities and not enough info about the Odyssey.

Amy: Oh, Julian, you can't even begin to talk to me about teasing... You're a hazard to women everywhere.

Dax: (chuckles, then leans in to kiss his jaw gently) I know you wouldn't, dear.

Yeah. I've got something, but it kind of took away my opportunity to explain the situation that lead to her dad reassigning her to DS9.

“We still keep in touch,” the captain went on as if Amy hadn’t spoken. “He never stops talking about you. He’d never admit it to you, Amelia, but he’s really proud of all you’ve been able to accomplish in your short time at Starfleet. Which is why it’s all the more important to do your best at Deep Space Nine. Prove to him that one little mishap won’t keep you from your goals. He expects great things from you. We all do. And who knows? Maybe someday you’ll get to serve on a real starship. Have you ever thought about serving on the Odyssey? Picard, he’s a great man, but he’s gotten soft with old age. Between you and me, I’m not sure he has what it takes to command a starship out there on the frontier. Out there you have to make snap decisions, hard choices. You can’t let your emotions get in the way; you have to be willing to sacrifice a few lives for the greater good. Picard does not fit that bill.”

Bashir: Am I really? I don't meant to be. There's only one woman I want to be a hazard to...well, that didn't come out right, but you get the point.

Holmes: Mmm...my spots seem to be tingling. Some sort of silent Trill mating call?

After reading that, I think you could probably hold off on explaining her situation in detail until later. That fits the bill so perfectly imho. That's really good stuff. Perfect for the situation.

Amy: (laughs) Should I be worried for my safety?

Dax: Hmm... That sounds about right. (brushes her lips across the spots on his forehead) Does that help?

Yeah, I was thinking that she'd be talking with Jadzia or Dan at Quark's about why she was assigned here, and her anger at her father would come spilling out and she'd launch into the story.

Amy: (Complies, then looks up at him) How about now?

Dax: (laughs) Well, closed doors or no, we do have company, Daniel.

xD I know! I think he voice acted one of the characters in Toy Story. The dinosaur, if I'm right. Sorry AGAIN about dozing off last night. xDDD You and I seem to be developing a pattern.

Bashir: (Smiles; starts feeding her) Now this is cozy!

Holmes: Don't worry; you know I'm too shy to try anything like that anyway.

You know, I think you're right. That voice is pretty distinctive.
What about Garak? He's gotten to be one of my favorites.

Don't worry about it :)

Amy: (around a mouthful of strawberry) Mhm. (discreetly takes one hand and starts trailing her fingers across his lower back)

Dax: well, I'm sure you could be...persuaded.

Hmm. I don't remember much about garak.

Also, I'm trying to work in Keogh's speech to Amy about how her father was amazing and great things are expected of her. But I feel like there just isn't enough to it. If that makes sense. Here's what I have for it:


The shuttle touched off, rising slowly from the landing pad. As they made their slow ascent into space, the monologue that Amy had feared began.

“You know, Amelia, your father and I served together on the Odyssey for years, before he got promoted. I’ve never met a more honorable, dedicated man. He accomplished many great things, even before his appointment to Admiral. He rose to every challenge presented to him and always went above and beyond the call of duty. It was an honor to serve with him.”

“Thank you, sir, I’m sure that means a lot to him,” Amy provided, unsure what else to say.

“We still keep in touch,” the captain went on as if Amy hadn’t spoken. “He never stops talking about you. He’d never admit it to you, Amelia, but he’s really proud of all you’ve been able to accomplish in your short time at Starfleet. Which is why it’s all the more important to do your best at Deep Space Nine. He expects great things from you. We all do. And who knows? Maybe someday you’ll get to serve on a real starship. (insert slanted comparison of the Odyssey to the Enterprise here).”

That's all very solid. Maybe you could point out some big thing her father supposedly did. Like he saved some crew memeber, or took the helm in an emergency and save the lives of the crew. It might be a good chance to build on Amy's history a bit indirectly.

Bashir: (Shifts comfortably) Are you comfortable, my dear?

Holmes: Well, you ARE hard to say no to.

Ah, well then, that's a question for another time.

Amy: (looks up at him innocently while her fingers skim across the waistband of his shorts) Of course, Julian. You have a very comfortable lap. Are you comfortable? (impish grin)

Dax: I'll keep that in mind. (michevious tone)

I'll get there eventually. xD

Bashir: VERY comfortable (voice breaks on 'very' as he feels her touch)

Holmes: (Smiles) You do that.

No rush ^^

Oh, and for your segment from before, in addition to what I already said, maybe you could add a hint of why Amy is sent to DS9. Like when he mentions that it's important she do well, she could think about how she got there, then flash back to the present.

Amy: Your heart rate seems to have fine up. Are you sure you're quite alright?

Dax: so, Daniel, tell me a little about yourself.

Yes, that's a great idea!

Bashir: I don't know...how about feeling my heartbeat? (Puts her hand on his chest)

Holmes: Well, let's see...I'm kind of a nerd for all things Vulcan. Um, I enjoy martial arts, and I'm very into my career...and any relationship that may come along. What about you, Jadzia?

:D

Amy: (pauses to feel with one hand while the other is still tracing his lower back) It's definitely elevated. I think you need to stop by the infirmary later so I can have a better look at you.

Jadzia: Well, if I told you 'a little' about myself, we'd be here for days.

:D to you!

Bashir: well, if you insist...and even if you don't...(whispers to her) Dax really brought Holmes out of his shell, didn't she?

Holmes: True. Then, tell me about Jadzia. You personally. What do you like? I need to know so that I can give you everything you want...

XD, then!

Amy: She really has. I wonder how things would have turned out if he hadn't met her that first day.

Dax: Well, Daniel, I don't want I want. Then what would be the point in wanting? Although right now, I want you to put some moisturizer on my legs.

XD to Holmes. That was sweet, borderline creepy.

Bashir: (nibbling at her neck) I promise you, he would be in Ops 24/7. You'd have to pry his data padd from his cold, dead hands to stop him.

Holmes: Of course. (Applies it gently, rubbing her legs) Amy really settled down, didn't she?

Yeah, a little XD

Amy: (closes her eyes, enjoying the sensation) I suppose you're right. She really saved him from a lonely, lonely life.

Dax: She used to be so wary of everyone, always on the defense. Now look at her. It's nice to see her so at ease, even if it's just with a few people.

xD I love how each party is talking about each other.

If somebody said that to me, I'd be a liiiiiitle worried. ;)

Bashir: Indeed. And Dax seems happy, too. (Slightly sad)

Holmes: (still applying studiously) and Bashir seems happier for it, too. (Obviously feels guilty about winning with Jadzia)

It's interesting this way^^

True enough. I didn't phrase what I meant well.

Also, that was supposed to read "i don't want everything I want." Not, "i don't want I want." xD Oops.

Amy: (pulls away to look at him) You're not still hung up on her, are you?

Dax: Yes, he does. I don't think he realized how lonely he was. Don't worry about Julian, Daniel. The fact that I didn't choose him had nothing to do with you. I'm just glad you came along when you did. (smiles, then shifts her weight to provide him with more skin to moisturize)

It is.

Nah, it kind of... fits him. xD Which is sad, in its own rite.

It's okay; I got the gist.

Bashir: No. I'm with YOU. But I can't help but wonder...you liked me right away. Why didn't she? (Shakes his head) Now, are you jealous? Do YOU need a massage?

Holmes: (Continues his work, lol) I...don't mean to pry, Jadzia, but...(Shakes head) nevermind.
IT was supposed to seem more caring and less creepy XD

xD Good. I reread that and I was like WTF me = idiot!

Amy: Well, you're very confident about who you are, and where you fit into the world. Maybe she wasn't looking for that. (straightens and turns around, deflecting the question marvelously) Well, since you're offering...

Dax: (sits up a little, looking at Dan) No, go ahead. What is it, Daniel?

xD It's okay. It was funny!

Nah, it's all good. As you know, I make more than my share of errors.

Bashir: Happy to oblige you, miss. (works on her back)

Holmes: I...can't help but feel a little guilty. (smiles a little forlornly) I was the guy back at the academy who, if he had a crush, but saw someone else with the same crush...I was the one who would back off without a fight. It's just...I know what he (Bashir) must be feeling. ...(hugs Dax tightly) It makes me appreciate you all the more.

And only partly stalker-ish! XD

Bashir: That sounds like a good plan to me. I can't wait!

Holmes: Sounds like we could all use the energy boost. Computer, activate picnic scenario one -alpha (blanket appears, and holographic servants bring the food)

True. He's loyal enough, too.

Amy: (teasingly) Don't get so excited you can't focus on the food, Julian. Oh, look! Strawberries! My favourite fruit.

Dax: Well, Daniel, you see anything you like?

Yeah, very true.
