Its time

Posted on Sun Apr 19th, 2026 @ 1:22pm by Captain Xavier Carey & Lieutenant Talsi Carey & Captain Antonia 'Tony" Stoffels & Commander Rutherford (RJ) Milton & Lieutenant Sky Carey

Mission: We are sick of this.
Location: Med Bay

Xavier walked into the medical bay, both Tal, and Sky had requested they attend, and it was only fitting that Toni be there as well. After this the fun would begin. "So where we at Doc?"

Toni made time out of her busy time to attend the meeting in the medical bay. It felt a little akward having two captains aboard the ship to her. Although she would still give anything for him to not leave.

Sky wasn’t happy about this, but as a dutiful wife she was going to be there for Xavier no matter what. Walking into Sickbay she paused to await the arrival of the others.

Milton had the PADD in hand coming out of his office, he had also set the time that most of the Gamma Staff would be on an extended Lunch Break under the guide the Sick Bay had 'work' that needed to be done and the personnel might be 'uncomfortable while the said work progressed? Real excuse is that He wanted privacy.

"A couple of hours of no one to disturb." Milton said glancing at the doors as they parted and an lesser known Doctor entered. "Ah right on time Doctor Keern."

The man was a little taller than average at six feet, wider shoulders of someone that actually took good care of their physique. Black hair kept neat and piercing Blue Eyes. Instantly nothing the Elite ranks in his midst the head slightly tilt in surprise and he took this in stride. Highlighting more the Bajoran Nose ridges.

I did not expect Both Captains to be here and the other ladies." Keern began. " I am Doctor Keern Sohon, please call me Keern as most do." He bow slightly in respect. "It is tradition,"

"Doctor Keern is the reason we are all here." Milton started. "He has an expertise with prosthesis and Xeno-body reconstruction after trauma."

"So why am I here exactly. Keern glanced around. These people look more healthy." Eyeing Talsi for an extra second. "I was told there is some cosmetic work I need to be a part of?"

"Yes, well that is a point that we shall discuss more at length inn the Medical conference room but in essence we are here because Captain Carey needs a favor from you for the next assignment." Milton nod to the Captain. "I will let him tell you the quick outline before we take to the Logistics and such." Glancing at Keern. "This is confidential, not to leave this circle of people and you will also be given a chance to decline after Captain Carey tells you the over-view if you so wish?"

"O-k-a-y" Keern said slowly. "This sounds quite Hush-hush?"

“You can say that again” Sky added quietly hoping no one really noticed.

"How familiar are you with the method that Captain Pike and crew used to transform themselves into full Vulcan? I need the same for myself, but instead of Vulcan, I need to be Cardassian. Going behind enemy lines, will be hard, enough as it is, being one of them... is a safer bet, if I want any chance of returning." Xavier explained.

Toni cursed under her breath, she did not like where this was going at all.

Sky sighed, she hated every part of this.

"Your neck is the challenge." Keern noted."That is one aspect the Cardassian Race is known for, and if you want to pass as one of them; that prosthetic would be the key to whatever you are planning. And any who will go with you."

"Who come with me right." Pausing Xavier hadn't really thought of it, he was so focused on everything else, and the whole starfleets taking it as a suicide mission to even want to bring his 'family' in. Thats what this crew was to him. an extension of his family. "I will find the others needed, I just need to make sure that you are able to enable us to pass through checkpoints when we get to them."

"You might take Kay, she's a marine." Toni said, hating herself for even saying it. Uncle Wain and aunt Denise would kill her if she put Kay in danger.

I can get you to pass so long as no injury concerning a scan on a Carsassian Bio-Bed, that would get the person discovered, biometric sensory will be fooled. Keern assured.

“I would volunteer, but I can’t leave the twins plus it would be dangerous for you, worrying about my safety.” Sky added as she looked towards Xavier. “I’ll be here waiting for you.”

"I have a reluctance in this." Keern said. "the amount of prosthetic will put a slight strain on the body once removed, the strong neck support and lack of it when back to normal will require some extensive rehabilitation you do understand?"

"If the information we can gather from the people seeking asylum... a little stiff neck will be worth it." Xavier replied. Xavier thought about Kay, he knew that she had been thrown around depts since her time onboard. "I will take your advice with Kay. Give her something that will make up for the shuffling shes been through. It will be voluntary, it will not be an order. Im also going to need one more, I will talk to Lt Commander Johnson, see who he can spare from his department. I know he would volunteer, but hes needed here on ship."

“I think extensive rehabilitation means more than a simple stiff neck” Sky looked towards her husband concernedly.

"I understand." Xavier replied as he looked over to sky, "I was making light... I know what he meant." Giving her a reassuring smile.

Sky nodded, feeling more than a little silly at making her comment. She took a deep breath calming her emotions.

"Anyway. When would you be able to do he procedure, I still need to gather a few more people."

"It will be about six to eight hours per adaptation. " Keern said. "Other than that we can start as early as 24 hours to get materials together operating rooms."

Sky was listening, but she wasn’t liking any of it. Though she knew it was what would keep Xavier alive while he was out there doing what he had to do.

"Very well, I will gather the people you gather the materials." Xavier stated as he nodded, "Ive also got a cardassian I need to confirm we will go ahead with the plan."

Right away Sit " Milton answered.
