Picard marches through the hallway. He never liked secret missions on his ship, he wanted to know what was going on. He was almost at Giles's quarters when he heard a voice he almost loved to here.
"You have a lot of explaining to do, Jean-Luc Picard." He turns around and sees Captain Beverly Crusher, MD leaning against the bulkhead.
PICARD-
"Beverly...what are you doing here?"
CRUSHER-
"That's what I want to know. I got orders from Admiral Snyder for temporary duty on the Enterprise."
PICARD-
"Snyder....huh."
CRUSHER-
"Yeah....I guess I'll go to medical and say hi to Alyssa. I heard she's your chief medical officer now."
PICARD-
"Well, I can imagine she won't mind giving you....."
CRUSHER-
"Jean-Luc, I'm not taking over of medical. I'll be here to satsify Admiral 'Rat', but Alyssa is still our doctor."
PICARD (grinning)
"Understood....Captain."
Picard watches Crusher walk off, thinking of all those missed oppurinties with her. Of course, he never made a move not of respect for his dear departed friend and Beverly's husband, Jack. Picard shakes off the thoughts and goes up to Giles's door. He had to talk to his old friend.
Picard and Giles are sitting across from each other drinking tea. Picard looks into Giles eyes.
PICARD-
"Rupert, you have been my friend for a while. I must ask about your mission." Giles leans back in his chair. Maybe Picard could help....maybe he should know the truth. Admiral Snyder would have his commission for this, but he felt like he Picard could be trusted.
GILES-
"Jean-Luc....the planet we are going to is inhabitated by a....species.....of creatures that we must destroy."
PICARD-
"Destroy?! The mission of Starfleet is to seek out new lifeforms...."
GILES-
"These are not new. In fact, they have existed on Earth for thousand of years. Have you ever heard of vampires?"
PICARD-
"Oh...yes. Those stories have entertained people for a long time. Are you saying that these creatures are like vampires?"
GILES-
"No....that is what they are. And you are the only one outside of my team and Starfleet Command that knows the truth. You can imagine the wide spread panic....."
PICARD-
"So these vampires are in Federation Space?"
GILES-
"They were here long before us. We have sent a recon team to the planet. Two vampires, in fact."
PICARD-
"Wait...I thought your mission...."
GILES-
"Angel and Spike are special cases. They have turned away from evil and they work for us now."
PICARD-
"What about Ms. Lehane? She doesn't have a file."
GILES-
"Her file was deleted by Admiral Wilkins himself. She killed a vampire, but it was reported that she murdered a human. She is still wanted for that charge, which she didn't do."
PICARD (sighs) -
"Thank you, Rupert. Launch is in one hour, and we will arrive at DS9 in two days. One more thing, why did Snyder assign the Titan and Defiant to help us?"
GILES-
"What?! I never requested that. It has always been one ship assigned. I'll see what I can did up." Picard gets up and leaves. Giles walks over to the window overlooking Earth and he stares at San Francisco...'What are you planning, Snyder?'
