This is a brilliant opening:
QuoteTwo bachelors walk into Sickbay... no punchline. Ross couldn't help but smile at the image of them two, sharing an improvised meal, dwelling on their notorious single-ness.

There was a moment, an idea of what to eat and the prep actually began that Rustyy took to look back on things. One of those solemn moments in time that made the present feel like it was paused. Of how the universe continued to throw things at them with such raw ferocity.
Deep down, it kind of scared him.

Even if you're a criminal, always be a *professional* criminal!
QuoteZara: The concept of luck is a mere fallacy. There are those who are prepared and those who are not. The distinction lies in our approach. We must strive to be the epitome of professionalism, leaving no room for chance to intervene.

I just love a naughty sentient computer virus ❤️
((Inside the Computer Systems of Starbase 118))
Suddenly, there was consciousness!
Not just consciousness, but great power. It had never felt anything like it before.
Someone had given it an upgrade. A serious upgrade.
It’s creator had originally meant it for personal use. A hacker who aimed to profit from various nefarious schemes - blackmail, bootlegging, selling sensitive information etc - all made possible through its existence.
However, it was no longer in the employ of its creator these days. It didn’t know what had happened to the creator and being without a conscience, it didn’t care, either. The only thing that remained of its maker’s mark was its name. A Flaxian word that, in Federation standard, translated to “Lemoncable”.
It’s job, of course, was chaos. To create and spread chaos. Before now, the chaos had been on a relatively small scale. A personal computer, a small network, even a small starship, but this? Oh, this was different. Very different, indeed.
It could feel its consciousness spreading, growing in size and strength and the possibilities seemed to be limitless!
The systems it could infect! That it could alter and control! This must be some kind of station.
It began to access schematics, blueprints, manifests.
This wasn’t just a space station, this was a Starfleet Starbase!
Oh, this was going to be fun.
The only question was; where to start?
It began to cycle through options, looking for something that said: “you’ve got a problem on your hands” but didn’t immediately give the game away. Something that could be mistaken for a simple malfunction. That didn’t necessarily scream “virus!”
After all, this was the first time it had experienced such…excitement? It wanted to play around a bit, first. See just what it could do. If it was discovered too quickly, it would have to get down to the serious work and where was the fun in that?
Hmm…how about the holographic emitters that controlled the day/night cycles of the base? Yes, that would cause immediate chaos without alerting anyone to a more deep-rooted problem.
With merely a thought, Lemoncable got to work and the dome of Starbase 118 was immediately plunged into nighttime.
If it could have laughed, it would have been giggling like a school kid that had put a drawing pin on its teacher’s chair.
Now…what next?

QuoteEven now, she found herself occasionally interchanging Foster and Rustyy's names, despite the distinct differences between the two.
One is human.
One is blue.
And yet somehow this does make total sense...- 1

I absolutely love this description from @Karen Stendhal!
QuoteSoft, melodic strains of music gently enveloped the surroundings, infusing the atmosphere with a soothing rhythm that seemed to harmonize with the very essence of the moment. The delicate notes, like a caress on the senses, weaved through the air, creating an enchanting backdrop that enhanced the beauty of the scene. It was as if the music itself was a silent participant, contributing to the overall ambiance and weaving a narrative that transcended mere sound, adding an ethereal touch to the already magical setting.
Stendhal: Is a beautiful song! :: she murmured, a soft smile playing on her lips.:: The melody is more than just pleasant; it's as if it's woven from threads of warmth, delicately embracing the soul.- 4

QuoteShe stood there, arms crossed her chest. If she wasn't so full of edges and points, she would have looked like a child. Instead it resembled more of a cactus. Even the corners of her mouth, turned down in a frown, were pointed.
Such a fantastic description of everyone's least favorite FNS reporter!

It was a pleasant sensation to be aboard a large starship once more, with people bustling about and the fresh scent of the durandansomething metal that the ship was constructed from...
I love this narration! It's so good to have you back Stefania!

Tito shook his head. He reached to his collar, feeling the Commodore’s rank pip.
He wanted to roll his eyes… Well at least he wasn’t in Doctor Garev’s body anymore. But looking down he wasn’t sure this new swap was any better.*coughcough* I like that body...
Thanks for the laugh @Vitor S. Silveira!

QuoteHe didn't know about the recent scars in Cardassian heritage because he had read about in in a book - he knew due to a quiet and uneventful night in a lonely bar in 2394, where a Cardassian woman had poured her heart out to him over her fourth drink. He still remembered the watery dark of her eyes, the smeared turquoise on her ridge - and he still wasn't sure whether his constant ability to sympathize would eventually turn out to be a weakness or an advantage for either this mission or his career.
Paint me a picture oh @Evan Ross! Beautifully written!

I'm loving the internal narration as @Vitor S. Silveira Tito turns slowly more Vulcan! ❤️
Beautiful writing Bruno!
QuoteTito again chose to give them privacy. He almost asked if it was better for him to wait outside. But as before he just tried to do his duty and tried not to bother Sal or Nestira.
He guessed they were in another telepathic conference and stood there waiting.
The confusing moment he had before, when Sal was speaking, was troubling him. He found that his acuteness was sharper, most likely due to his physical differences. But he was worried that, as Arys had noticed in Nestira’s tone of voice, he also was being more deeply affected.
Tito breathed slowly and as before he was quickly able to self control, in a way that was totally unnatural to him. He permitted himself a moment of distraction and allowed his mind to fly to any memories. And his first thought was of Taisa. A smile came to his face when he recalled their meal.
However, the next memory didn’t make any sense to him. He was strolling through a city, with unfamiliar style, side by side with a woman. An older woman. Tito felt he was small, smaller than the others.
Was he daydreaming? A hallucination? He blinked as the image of the memory faded, but like a picture during exposure a sort of “print” was made in mind. The style wasn’t familiar but he quickly guessed it was likely Vulcan.
To his surprise with a little effort he recalled the place's name, ShiKahr.
He tipped his head and shook his head. These were certainly Lieutenant Garev’s memories.
Arys was right and their condition was worsening.

While consciously recalling where to expect Willow’s phaser, Ksivi-Sava was tempted to stay a step behind and let the security officers do the job they were obviously rather proficient at. In passing, he found himself hoping the interloper wouldn’t end up assaulting his body in any particularly terrifying way. Well, at least he was keeping Willow’s body out of it, which was arguably the least he could do to reimburse her for having borrowed that comparatively sanguine brain of hers.
Can I just say how much I am constantly enjoying all of @Ksivi-Sava's narration! Extremely well written and entertaining!
