Oliver missed being able to train. His mind was stagnating without something to keep it busy. Still rules were rules and Oliver was currently choking down yet another one of his daily protein shakes. He sighed as he sipped it. Then something changed and he wasn't in Ten Forward anymore. Technicolor images raced thought his head, smells and sounds scream at him. He wants to help, but when he reaches out his hands they pass right through the people and the places he's experiencing.

It feels like the vision or whatever this was went on for ever and ever, but it was actually only a few moments and Oliver found himself on the floor of the lounge PADD held tightly in one hand. "What the hell was that," he whispered horsely.

Thea could not explain it but simply being off the ship was doing her some good mentally speaking. Was it actual sunlight or was it something else? No matter but she decided to just embrace it, maybe she was getting better after all?

So today she was on the beach when an idea hit, she leaned over to where her brother's towel was and made the suggestion. "We should go surfing or even wind surfing. Can't explain it but maybe getting off the ship is helping on some level and I'm wanting to embrace it somehow." she confessed.

(Plotlocked: Matt Murdock)

Once back onboard however Thea was on a mission: she was going to ask Matt on an actual (ok maybe more of an unofficial) date. Her idea was simple: she figured a picnic would be low key given him being somewhat new and a perfect way for them to talk and get to know each other better without certain things in the way (like her random dozing off). But she had tracked him down and waited for him to spot her first, this time she was in a much lighter place mentally and it showed. "Now to ask before I lose my nerve." she decided.

(OTA)

This was the happiest Thea had been in weeks.

She could not explain any of it but it was like things were making actual sense and it had been at least two days since any random dozing off in public or near bursts into tears. It was like something had dulled her inner pain but it was not what her old self would have done. "No matter, maybe its a good thing so going to embrace it while it lasts." not knowing the cause of her mood swing. So for now she was on the beach people watching and trying to decide what today's new sport would be (wearing board shorts and a bikini top). So feel free to chat her up!

[Locked to Thea]
Felicity had been quietly watching both Oliver and Thea for quite awhile, not saying much but making her presence known all the same. Over the last few months they had been living together she noticed some things about Thea. She needed hugs like nobody's business and she needed some sort of constant in her life.

Right now, Felicity figured it was her and Oliver. She waited until Oliver was out of the room before approaching Thea's room. She knocked on the door twice, and then proceeded to push open the door.

"Hey, how about we do something fun... just us.... no icky boys," She asked with a grin.

[Locked to Oliver]

Felicity was kind of going a tad bit stir crazy on the ship. The jaunt to Pacifica had been wonderful, and she had come back feeling ridiculously happy about life with Oliver and the Enterprise in General. She was bound and determined that she was going to have a date night with her boyfriend, especially because of the month.

She strolled into their shared room. She raised an eyebrow at the cuddling kitties. "You and I need some time together.... just us. You have 3 choices.... Venice, Aspen, or the beach?"

Zoey was ensconced in a chair at one of the tables by the windows; being in space still hadn’t lost its novelty, and if she had the option, she always sat so she could watch the stars pass. Although she wasn’t doing much watching at the moment. There was so much to LEARN. On top of all the classes she was taking.

So she sat at her table, PADD in hand, an open notebook off to one side (her notes were in a hodgepodge of all the languages she spoke and included the ones she was learning on the Enterprise, as well as doodles and drawings), a small plate of bougatsa, and another steaming mug of tea in front of her. Study food. Chewing absently on the end of her pen, she continued reading. She was focusing on the mythologies of other planets at the moment; the ones the computer had available, anyway.

Although she was liable to switch subjects at any time.

Thea quickly realized something: Christmas was looming and the way the last 3 have gone (from battles to near deaths) she was basically dreading it. Add in the month of nightmares (among other things) and she was ready to just ignore the whole charade. "But I can't. Because if this is scaring me then it has to be just as bad for him" she whispered under her breath as she tapped out a quick message via PADD to Oliver to meet her in Ten Forward for sibling time given everything going on. "Cue fighting back via the bonds of family." she realized, she and Oliver having become more protective of each other in the weeks since nightmare month. But after a quick stop to feed and love on the kittens and get her coat (since she was still regaining the weight she lost) Thea was in the lounge with one eye open for her brother (and making sure her red coat could be spotted) before zoning out once again.

But her eyes spoke more than words could.

Felicity stepped into the Holodeck on the first day of Chanukkah, knowing what she wanted.

She recreated the loft that Oliver shared with Thea, even though she had never seen it, she had seen pictures. She always imaged being able to celebrate this holiday with the people she cared about.

She let out a breath, and asked the computer for edible Chanukkah foods. It wouldn't be like her Nana's but it would do. She finally settled on doughnuts,latkes, chocolate gelts. She made sure that there was sour cream and jelly too. Chanukkah food was all fried, so she did make sure there was some soup and pasta as well.

Now that Dr. Crusher's medical team has cleared a sizable number of new passengers for ship-wide access comes a big day for them: the day they receive their official introduction to the Enterprise. It starts with a tour of the ship and some background to the situation, delivered by Chief O'Brien.

The tour covers the main areas of the ship, and a history of recent events, Q-inspired and otherwise.

Once the tour has wrapped up, it normally falls on Worf's shoulders to assign the new arrivals quarters and instruct them on the correct behavior and protocols needed for life aboard the Enterprise. They have been gathered together in Ten Forward, and are awaiting further instructions on how to proceed. Unfortunately, Worf is still unavailable, and so instead it falls on Lt. Junior Grade Baldwin’s shoulders to do so, just as it did last month.

As he has done this before, Baldwin has a speech prepared:

"The computer will instruct you on where all cleared-for-access decks are. You only have to ask where the area you are trying to get to is located, and it will give you clear directions. Do not visit any restricted areas. The bridge, engine rooms, transporter rooms, and all command centers are off-limits.

"With that in mind, there are a few rules you must obey before I give you your new assignments. One, do not discharge any weapon while on the Enterprise. Two, do not assault any other passenger aboard in any way; that includes injury, death, or violating their personal rights. Three, do not tamper with the operational procedures of the ship. Four, do not steal items or technology from the ship. Five, do not interrupt any official areas of the ship without proper authorization, and do not invade the privacy of other guest or crew quarters.

"Copies of the Prime Directive will be made available to all of you, and placed in each room. As you are not Starfleet officers, you are not obligated to abide by this rule; however, it is important you understand why we do.

Looking down at the safety of his PADD, he says, "Room assignments are as follows," before reading off the list of quarters, their location, and the guests who will be sharing them.

Deck 7, Section 4
Room # 0718 - Natasha Romanoff and Tex
Room # 0722 - Carson Beckett

Room # 0767 - Finnick Odair and Alex Rogan
Room # 0772 - Inari Raith and Harry Dresden
Room # 0779 - Angel Islington and Lorna Dane

Deck 8, Guest Quarters (Family Suites)
Room # 0100 - Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen and Thea Queen

Room # 0931 - Luna Lovegood and Prue Halliwell
Room # 0932 - Piper Halliwell and Paige Matthews Mitchell

"I will remain here to answer questions," Baldwin says, managing to keep the reluctance out of his voice. "And the rest of the Security team will be standing by to escort you where you need to be."

The list is also displayed on a PADD, where people can refer to it if they need to.

Myka opened her eyes expecting to find herself in her own room at the B&B. Things had been a little strange over the last year for Myka. She had left the Warehouse, thinking she had to handle things on her own. She was fully prepared to cancel Cancer on her own, despite all the reassurances that Pete had given her that he would be there for her, She had insisted on doing everything on her own. She didn’t need to rely on anyone or anything. That line of thinking landed her on the Enterprise, where she tried to move on with her life and build a new life for herself.

The more she thought about it though, the more she realized how much she missed the hustle and bustle of the Warehouse and returned there. Myka found herself actually enjoying her work again, more than she thought she would. She found herself wanting to spend extra time with the people that she called family.
"A world of endless wonder," Myka whispered, as she looked out at the horizon of the stacks of Warehouse 13. She couldn't help but smile just a little bit at the scene before her. She ran her hand along the railing of the balcony as she moved down towards the stairs. Myka was always careful when it came to the Warehouse, because she could get lost so easily in such a massive place. She suddenly found herself standing in the room with the stone round table. It was the last place she remembered being.

Myka smiled fondly as she looked around one final time having the feeling that she wasn’t where she thought she was.

“Computer,” She called out, smiling when an arch appeared. She would remember the warehouse with fondness, but life was full of adventures.

She found Ten-Forward a few moments later, and stepped in with a swoosh of the doors. She had always liked looking out of the windows, into the vastness. She reached out to touch the glass a soft smile on her face.

Oliver was feeling slightly better since talking to Felicity and Thea about his demons. He was still struggling to sleep through the night and food still tasted like ashes in his mouth, but at least he was smiling a little more. He was currently sorting through his things and trying to decide how he could get rid of the League outfit without burning it and risking the ship. He pulled the hood out and was about to pick it up when he heard a soft mew.

He tilts his head. and he hears the noise again only there seemed to be more than one mew. He carefully unfolded the hood to discover three tiny kittens staring up at him as if to say. "Finally it was dark in there." They climbed out of the hood and started trying to climb on Oliver's lap with happy kitten noises. One kitten was pure white with a black circle around it's eye and the other two were Siamese with odd arrow shaped marks in their fur that looked a bit red and green.

"Okay this is....weird. I know you guys weren't in there when I folded this up before," he says as he gently shoos them onto the floor. The white kitten sits right in the center of his lap and makes it clear she isn't leaving and one of the Siamese started to climb up his arm. The other Siamese just cuddled against the white kitten and Oliver sighs and reaches for his PADD. He sends an message blast to everyone he knows. <i>Found cats in my room, anyone missing one?</i>

(Plotlocked to Oliver Queen and eventually Felicity Smoak, emotional fallout from the Halloween plot and spoilers possible for late season 3 of Arrow to name several)

Thea had been keeping to herself outside of classes and training. Thankfully since that first run-in there has been no return of Ra's Al Ghul but she had been hit by memory flashes of Sara Lance falling off that ledge several times. Add in her being stabbed and it was not a pretty sight mentally, so she had been doing something she had done before when she was frayed mentally and emotionally.

She did not bother actually eating.

Oh sure she was eating but not nearly enough for someone in recovery. This time around she was picking at fries, something she would usually be happily wolfing down. Another sign she was not in a great place, the lack of a bottle of BBQ sauce. Her weakness for the stuff a source of humor among her friends but now it was missing.

The other major clue was in her eyes. She had not exactly slept since the most recent round of nightmares and memory flashes had hit and it showed in more ways than one. She also knew if this was hitting her it had to be hitting Oliver even harder: especially after the talk they had about Sara, Tommy and their mother during the party.

"Time to shove back my pain and be the worry wart little sister." she decided.

It is very probable as you went about your day on the Enterprise that you ran across a flier inviting you to a special event. It's not often Captain Picard indulges in such recreational activities, but a certain member of staff has been encouraging him to be less standoffish, and more welcoming to the displaced guests aboard his vessel. A Captain's duties are never complete.

Holodeck 2, located on Deck 11, opens up on a crisp fall evening in San Francisco, California, in the autumn of 1941...

You enter an office with Dixon Hill's name on the door. Inside, his lovely young secretary, Madeline, greets you with a smile and a smart city-girl accent.

"You must be one of Dix's new 'associates'," she singsongs. "Go on inside, Cutie. Dix is just playing with his cute young private dick."

She winks to bring the double entendre home, and gathers up her pocketbook. "Me? I've got a hot date with my fella, so you be sure Dix behaves himself. See you in the morning!"

As she scoots out, you head through the interior door with the frosted glass panel, straight into Dixon Hill's private office...

Oliver felt like he was settling in well. Yeah he hadn't worked up the courage to visit a counselor yet but he was getting there and he planned on keeping his promise to Thea. For now he was exploring the ship and getting to know people. Right now he was sitting in Ten Forward and sipping a glass of something nonalcoholic that tasted vaguely fruity. His eyes glanced around the room as he took in the different people and wondered what their life stories were.

The holodeck party had been designed as a funeral-type gathering, originally for Fatima and Beverly to let go of some of the trauma they had incurred at the hands of COMPASS. It had evolved since then, turning into a larger party without losing its original purpose. Spread mostly by word of mouth, the party ended up being larger than Beverly had expected, but likely just what Fatima had wanted. All were welcome, as long as they didn't cause trouble.

The setting was the streets of New Orleans in the 1920's. In the middle of one large street was where the party would be held. There were tables with all manner of replicated food. Annie had offered to find out what would be good to set up and they had used her information to find something that nearly everyone would like. Drinks were the same. Plenty of Earth varieties and plenty of others. Surely everyone could find something to enjoy.

There were plenty of holographic people around as well, dressed to the '20's fashions, or as close as this far in the future could get. Some of them introduced the music and the dance floor. It was more of a dance street than anything, but it counted. Everyone was welcome to join them and the party turned into a bit of celebration amidst everything else. The music itself kept changing, rotating through what the Enterprise systems had on file. One minute it might be classical. The next it was something entirely different. Everything imaginable would probably have played by the night's end.

Or whenever the party actually ended.

A little bit away from the main drag, the holodeck had been programmed to create an alley between two brick-walled buildings. Unrealistically, the alley was clean and dry. Illuminating it were three trash cans along one of the walls, filled with kindling and crackling with golden flames. Holographic flames, of course, as much as Fatima had wanted to use the real thing. By the cans was a small table, with slips of stiff parchment and pens in every possible color there was.

It had taken some doing, but Fatima had programmed the holodeck to include a chalk drawing on the wall over the cans. It was a swirling pink and purple and blue rendering of the Milky Way galaxy. In yellow stars, a simple message was written out:

Write the names of those you left behind…
Cast them into the fire to say goodbye…

The party had been originally been conceived as a funeral, after all. A way to let go of the past and face the future, no matter how uncertain. There wouldn’t be any bodies, but there was still a place to say goodbye.

Luna's pink coat had become a frock coat, an orchid was tucked behind her ear and she was wearing a Ravenclaw blue corset over her blouse but her bell bottoms and earrings remained. When she realized what was going on (after seeing several bottles of rum and hearing the songs) a tiny smile crossed her face. She mused,"Fred and George would be laughing their heads off or have been the masterminds!" knowing it was something her friends would pull in a heartbeat. But as she walked the ship in order to get a lay of the land she was spotting parrots (some of the quite friendly and she had crackers from the replicator for them) and was simply enjoying the crazy scene unfolding.

But in spite of the smile she was hiding her private pain like a pro, she was not going to let the Muggles see her crack.

[Sickbay: locked to any doctor types]

"If I knew how to take this suit off I'd be kissing you right now," he hear Felicity say and it brought one of his rare smile out to play. He knew he was not good enough for Felicity Smoak and yet he can't help loving her as deeply as he does. She was so brave and smart and funny and his. No matter what happened next, he would have her and that was all that mattered to him. He takes a few steps toward her planning on pulling Palmers helmet off and kissing her himself when the world goes pear shaped. He reaches for Felicity and comes into contact with...

Nothing....Felicity isn't standing in front of him anymore. And the room he's in now is white with strange screens on the walls and noises he doesn't recognize in the slightest. He has to reign in the instinct to reach for a weapon, but he does attempt to drop into a crouch. That turns out to be a bad idea as he realizes his ribs are broken and the crouch sends pain shooting up his body and he straightens up with a wince as he reaches over to grip his ribs. "Little help," he calls out trying not to pass out. He's the Arrow and he's stronger then this.

[Sickbay after being patched up: ota]

Oliver feels completely out of his depth. He was in space and Starling City was centuries away. He'd shake his head if he wasn't feeling a bit dizzy still. He is lying on a bed studying his hand. His wrist had been broken and now not so much. This whole future thing was going to be weird...very very weird. For a while he wishes Felicity or John was standing beside him, he could really use a friend right now when his life was undergoing yet another major change.
