Caroline and the weird place
A CITC/ Star Trek Deep Space Nine Tale
Part Four
The characters of Odo, Kira and all the rest on DS9, and Caroline and Richard Do NOT belong to me. If they were mine, I'd be very very rich right now. :)
Doctor Bashirs Personal Log
Following orders previously issued by Captain Sisko, I immediately notified him to the current situation. After dressing Richard and Caroline in new clothing we would meet with him. I could not help but notice how amazingly good looking Caroline was as Garak fitted her for her clothes. I could see why Richard was so in love with her. After a small meeting in which Caroline and Richard met Captain Sisko. Sisko arranged temporary quarters for them. I took the duo down to Quarks bar down on the promenade. It has been several years since their last meal, they were sure to be hungry. I was showing them around when I finally noticed Major Kira trying in vain to grab my attention.
"And this is the holosuite section." Dr Bashir pointed out. "Here you can run a program in which you can do anything to your wildest fantasys. At least thats what Quark, the barkeeper says." Julian said. Richard looked at Quark.
"Julian!" Kira yelled.
"Ah, this is Major Kira." Julian said.
"Julian, I have been calling for you for five minutes." Kira said. "Are these the..."
"Yes they are." Julian said. "We'll sit over here while we get something to eat."
"I'll be just a second." Richard said.
Richard strode over to the bar. Quark noticed him.
"Well then, you must be one of the cryo-hewmons Odo found with my bar supplies."
"And you must be Quark, the ferengi with money on his mind."
"Touche'" Quark nodded. "What do you want, I have people to serve."
"Holo-suite." Richard said. "I hear you can have it made to whatever I want it to be, correct?"
"Correct. It can be whatever you want as long as you have the latinum to back it up with." Quark grinned conspiringly. "You do have the latinum, right?"
"I will find it, don't you worry you pretty big and weird head about it."
Quark nodded. "What is your request?"
Caroline watched Richard talk with the man named Quark.
"Captian Sisko told us that he would have quarters made for us." Caroline noted. "But what would we do?"
"We'll figure something out for you." Kira said assuredly.
"I know for sure there is no room for a twentieth century cartoonist here." Caroline said.
"Cartoonist?"
"In my time people drew cartoons, pictures with funny things." Caroline smiled. "I loved it. Course compared to now, my work is like what caveman used to do on cave walls."
"Here's your drink." Rom said handing Caroline an intricate cup.
"Rom, why are you working here? I thought you were with Obrien today." Julian asked.
"Quark asked for help and family comes first." He said as he went to his next table.
"What is this?" Caroline said looking it over.
"It's rakajachino. Klingon coffee." Kira said.
"I'll try it." Caroline sipping it. She made a face. "Oh! It's like drinking tar." She wiped her mouth off. "If this is what the future tastes like, I'd rather go back home and drink a Coke."
"A what?" Kira asked.
"Never mind."
"So we are understood?" Richard asked Quark.
"Yes." Quark said. "Youre holosuite will be ready tomorrow, done to youre specifications."
"Good."
