Shockabuku Genesis
Little is known about Kitty at school. Her school life has been versatile as well and should be recognized. It also pinpoints more to the reason she went to the seaQuest in the first place. So her it be. Kitty's last day of real school.
Military SchoolKitty stepped into the empty hallways.
"Military school." she grumbled. "Just what I need. Another force
of violence in my life." She had a hard time moving in the skirt uniform
she was wearing. In a fit of anger she ripped the seam up her leg. Then proceeded
to her first class.
Kitty walked into her Philosophy 3 class, where a discussion
about whether or not God exists was in progress. Her fellow students stared
in disbelief at their wallflower of the year.
"Glad you could finally join us Ms. Berlow." the professor proclaimed.
"It was either your class or detention." Kitty smirked. "And
they wouldn't let me in detention." Her teacher looked shocked at her outburst
but ignored it and went on.
He had the following logic: "Has anyone in this class heard God?"
Nobody spoke.
"Has anyone in this class touched God?"
Again, nobody spoke.
"Has anyone in this class seen God?"
When nobody spoke for the 3rd time, he simply stated, "Then there is no
GOD."
Kitty did not like the sound of this at all, and asked for permission
to speak. The professor granted it, and the she stood up and asked the
following questions of her classmates:
"Has anyone in this class heard our professor's brain?"
Silence.
"Has anyone in this class touched our professor's brain?"
Absolute silence.
"Has anyone in this class seen our professor's brain?"
When nobody in the class dared to speak, the student concluded, "Then,
according to our professor's logic, it must be true that our professor
has no brain!" 'Have you snapped?' Kitty thought to herself.
"That's enough Ms. Berlow. Be seated." She did as told…for
a while. Five minutes later as class was silent the Professor began to hand
out tests.
"Excuse me!" Kitty burst. "I don't understand the question!"
"And which one would that be Ms. Berlow?"
"The one that says name here." A snicker from the class.
"Very funny Ms. Berlow. Now take your test." His voce was stern.
"Alright fine. Keep your pants on. Please." Another slight snicker
arose. This was fun.
"Ok, question number one. What lobe of the brain controls sight?"
Kitty began to mumble just loud enough for the rest of the class to hear. "The
front maybe? Yeah that sounds about right. Your eyes are in the front. Now what
is that front called? The cerebellum...no...motor strip...no...uh, the cerebral
cortex. There we go. Wait! Maybe it's in the back…"
"Ms. Berlow!" he now yelled then calmed. "Please keep your comments
to yourself."
"Oh yeah sure. Like you can read my thoughts." Kitty back handed.
"God, the professor is such a jerk." she started again. Another break
in silence.
"That's enough. Come to my desk now." Another break in the silence
only it wasn't laughter. Kitty did as told.
"For that I should throw you out so fast half the other students would
get whiplash from your tailwind, but since you have shown exemplary behavior
since the beginning of this year I will excuse you under the grounds that you
were experiencing temporary insanity. Now please sit down."
"Yes sir!" Kitty proclaimed clicking her heels together, standing
up straight, and saluting a little more than sarcastically. A silent snicker.
An hour into class tests were taken up, and the presentation began. While the
instructor had his head turned Kitty worked on fashioning something with her
notebook paper. More minutes passed. The Professor was in the middle of a damn
exciting lecture on the difference between the conscious and unconscious mind.
"As you can see the unconscious mind contains Non Rapid Eye Movement also
known as NREM and it also contains Rapid Eye Movement also known as REM..."
"Quite right, old bean," Kitty intervened using her English accent
and stuffing pencil shreddings into her paper fashioned pipe.
"That's it Ms Berlow!" his face was red. Jackpot. "As
of this moment you are no longer a member of this class! Grab your things and
leave! I will transfer you to another class immediately. Silent but less than
reluctantly, Kitty got up and stood at the door checking for anything she may
have missed.
"There it is," she said smartly; grabbing the model brain off the
professors desk. "I was wondering where this went." She tucked it
under her arm like a football.
"Ms. Berlow!"
"Sorry." At that she left.
Kitty wandered the empty halls. What had gotten into her? Normally she was
a shy quiet person. What had possessed her to do all that? Kitty knew she should
be worried, but she wasn't. In fact, she liked it. The attention felt good and
it made a few of the other students feel better. This place could use a class
clown, and if no one else had the guts to do it, hey, why not her?
The bell rang for the next class and Kitty already had the idea for her next
stunt.
Kitty dashed to her chem.. class franticly looking for her instructor. Seeing
him she breathed a sigh of relief.
"They've found me," she replied breathing hard. "I have to leave
the country." At that she left.
"Ms. Berlow?" he called back. "Get back in here." Kitty
smiling along with the rest of her classmates came in and sat down.
Fin
Shockabuku SeaQuest
This is when I actualy created Kitty. She was for the show called seaQuest.
I may but summeries of the episodes and how I changed them later.
Season 1
It was between the episodes "BROTHERS
AND SISTERS" and "GIVE
ME LIBERTE" that I placed Kit on the seaQuest. She was sent there because
the general thought it would be a good experience for her to be in the navy.
The general (her father) is Nathan's late wife's brother. When she arrived she
(along with Lucas) was the youngest crewmember to be assigned. Though she wasn't
really a crewmember until the second season.
She doesn't really appear in the series until "KNIGHT
OF SHADOWS" In my version Kit goes with them. She doesn't do too much
except complain about how the place was WAY too creepy for her taste.
"BAD
WATER"
Kitty is in the boat with the lost crew. This is her big moment when she starts
to sing a song she had written "Guardian Angel in the Lost and Found".
It was a nice ballad though I never saved the song and have forgotten the lyrics
I wrote to it. Perhapes one day I'll write it again for a story.
"THE
REGULATOR"
Kitty isn't in this one much except for one scene where she catches the Regulator
stealing Darwin and tries to stop him.
"PHOTON
BULLET"
Kitty for some reason doesn't go with Lucas when he invites her to join him.
A good thing too. She wouldn't have liked the Julianna girl.
"BETTER
THAN MARTIANS"
Kitty can't figure out what the big deal is about the snail because she always
believed in life out there, but she asks to go with them and is captured with
the rest of the crew.
"NOTHING
BUT THE TRUTH"
Kitty stays on board because she wants to have a little "me" time.
When the ship is highjacked she manages to keep hidden and helps the injured
Chief by doind what he told her when they reconfigured the seaQuest systems.
"WHALE
SONG"
Bridger orders both Lucas and Kit off the sub when he leaves. While Lucas hides
behind in Kreigs room, Kit gets a better idea. She goes with him and convenced
him to go back.
"STINGER"
Kitty helps Lucas and Hitchcock design the mini-sub which she too would rather
call the Stinger. She doesn't want Lucas to test pilot it because she felt something
bad would happen. She tries to go on instead of him but doesn't succeed. Afraid
that he may get hurt again Kitty empties the oil from the stinger before a race
with it. Bridger knew she did it but didn't say a word, he let her tell him.
Lucas was pretty mad about it.
"HIDE
AND SEEK"
Kitty helps Alex with Darwin. When she realized they could talk with eachother
she does everything she can to keep them together in hopes of finding out what
wrong with him. She, Alex, and Darwin make a kind of emotional connection and
she is taken when Darwin is dolphin-naped. She makes a nice speach about how
much Alex loved his mother and how instead of trying to make him forget her
he should try to have Alex imbrace her memory.
"THE
LAST LAP AT LUXURY"
Kitty gives Lucas lessons on public speaking and is there to support him when
he gives his speach. She tells him even if this is a pretend date (that's how
he got her in) something bad will happen. She was right.
"ABALON"
Kitty's at the party when Lucas gets there. When he asked her how she was alowed
to go she told him she simply asked her Uncle Nathan. Lucas feels bad about
lieing to the captian until Kitty tells him that the girl he came to see has
a crush on him. She leaves before the cops bust the place.
"THE
GOOD DEATH"
Kitty helps take care of the kids.
"AN
OCEAN ON FIRE/HIGHER POWER"
Kitty feels for Lucas when his father has no time for him and invites him to
join her at her place for Christmas. He agrees but before they get to go a sequnce
of events happens that causes him to change his mind.
Season 2: Kitty goes back to the seaQuest on an internship. She works under Dr. Smith who becomes her mentor.
THE
FEAR THAT FOLLOWS
Kitty and Lucas meet the aliens again and she is friendly enough to them they
take a likeing to her and Lucas. She is one of the ones possessed by them instead
of Kreig.
SYMPATHY
FOR THE DEEP
Kitty finds it strange about the head aches and thinks there may be an ipedemic.
She too is effected by the exposure and tries to beat the crap out of everyone
who crosses her. In one scene she broke up a fight by beating them both up proclaiming
"I hate violence!" She goes into the colony and argues with Brody's
command constantly. She's the one who suggests asking Dagwood what they should
do.
Here is where Kitty is almost killed and they think she's dead.
The ol' switcheroo
What's going on: This is from the second season directly after, After the Suicide. Before that episode Kitty's father had commanded her to come home. When she refused he forced her to come back. She ran away in an attempt to not leave what she had always known. A hired man somehow connected her to the seaQuest and tried to murder her. He was killed in the fire that was meant for her demise. Two bodies were found and she was supposedly dead. She kept the charade going until she could figure out what to do. A record producer heard her sing one day, as she did often to make money, and offered her a contract. Lucas heard one of her records over the Internex and found out she wasn't dead. The rest of the story is in After the Suicide. Reading after the suicide is not needed for this story. It only means to help you understand on part. Nathan thought she and Lucas were sleeping together.
Kitty breathed in, a bag on her shoulder. She had no idea how they did it,
but they did. Her green eyes sparkled. She was home. A small party was waiting
for her. Word spreads fast on the seaQuest.
After Kitty took turns saying hello to old friends she finally made it to her
quarter's door. Surprisingly neither Lucas nor Uncle Nathan was there. They
must be mad at her or something. She couldn't blame them.
She tossed her bag onto the bed and sat down. Section Seven was exceptionally
rough with her. She had a hard time convincing them she was only scared and
she wasn't running anything illegal. Kitty closed her eyes. Suddenly a knock
came at her door.
"Enter." Lucas walked in he looked even more tired than she was.
"Sorry I didn't come and see you. The captain's keeping me busy."
"That's ok. I'm just glad you aren't mad at me."
"Nah," Lucas sat down beside her. "So how did Section Seven treat
ya?" He didn't even have to wait for her answer as her eyes sullined into
a deep brown. "That bad huh." At that moment the door opened and Bridger
walked in. Kitty jumped up.
"We weren't doing anything!" she let out. Oh God not again. Kitty
why do you torture yourself like this.
Nathan to her relief only laughed.
"I guess I had that coming. Welcome back."
"Thanks." She sat back down. "How did you?..."
"Manage to get you back here. I know a few people in Section Seven and
pulled some strings." Kitty's brow tightened.
"Not at your expense I hope."
"No not entirely. I did promise them how ever that you would make all of
them some of that migraine solution you make for Lucas. Lieutenant Reynolds
can be a hard ass." Kitty laughed at first. "All 500 of them."
This wasn't that funny. He smiled then left.
"Looks like he's after you too." Lucas stood up. "I've gotta
go." At that he left. Kitty was alone.
Kitty had finally gotten all the materials together, and half of it into
a large vat of solution. She had taken over the entire hydroponics lab to do
this. '500 people was a lot.' She had explained. She could have done this anywhere
but taking over her uncle Nathan's favorite spot to get away was sort of consoling.
"All he ever does is sit in his quarters all day trying to read,"
she complained to herself. "Commander Ford does all of it." She poured
in a white powder. "Why do we even need a captain?" In went the basil.
"He must have the most cushiony job in the world." She dropped in
the last ingredient then with out waiting for it to sink in she screwed the
lid on tight. Then lifted the jar and went on her way.
Nathan Bridger was sitting on his bed trying to read his book again. Sighing
he closed it.
"I spoke at her funeral," he grumbled to himself. He was still annoyed
at the fact Kitty never contacted him. Deep down he knew the reason why. She
had explained it to him a dozen times. There was just a hole in the explanation
somehow. Something she wasn't mentioning. It ate away at him.
Just then Kitty burst in dumping the large mayonnaise jar onto his desk. He
jumped up startled. She couldn't knock.
"That should be enough." Kitty replied a mischievous wink filled her
evergreen eyes. With out waiting for a response she left closing the door behind
her. Nathan looked curiously at the jar.
Standing outside in the hall she raised her arm as if reading a watch that wasn't
there.
"In three, two...one." The moment those words tumbled from her wickedly
smiling mouth a cry came from behind her door.
"Oh God!" The door shot open and a strong stench filled the hall.
Various members of the crew looked in their direction.
"Oh I forgot to mention. Don't open the jar." She replied straight-faced
at her uncle's scowl. The moment Kitty turned around she cracked and paced away.
Dr. Smith looked at her watch as Kitty peered inside. Piccolo was sitting in
the chair across from her.
"Your early," Dr. Smith said. "The session isn't over yet."
"If it's ok with you, Doc, I wouldn't mind leaving now." Piccolo obviously
sounded nervous. Must be his first time.
"No Tony, please continue. Why do you hate Dagwood?"
"I never said I hated Dagwood. He could use a new paint job but hey - some
people could use a new hairdo you know." Dr. Smith looked forlorn. "Don't
worry about it Doc you're a heartbreaker. Gee, the time flies like the wind,
hm?"
"Yes, it does." the Doctor answered clearing her throat.
"And fruit flies like bananas." he added. Kitty almost laughed. She
had forgotten about Piccolo's unique sense of humor.
"Thank you, Tony. You may leave now." Piccolo didn't even hesitate.
The Doctor sighed and motioned for Kitty to sit down. "Looks like you came
back from the dead just in time for the yearly session. May we begin?"
"I uh. I don't know exactly what to talk about. Um, nice weather huh?"
"Were in a submarine."
"Oh yeah. We are aren't we..." Kitty stammered her eyes turning a
deep brown.
"You seem uncomfortable."
"Seem? Oh, don't get me wrong it's not you. The, uh, the last time I saw
a shri…uh, psychiatrist he, uh, put me on, um," Kitty
put her hand to her mouth and made an sneeze to cover the next word.
"Pardon." This time she mumbled it. The doctor was telepathic she
should know.
"Excuse me."
"Prozac!" she shouted. Calming herself she continued. "He, uh,
put me on Prozac."
"Did you take it?"
"Hell no!"
"Why not?" Kitty couldn't answer, her eyes becoming an even deeper
brown she slumped into the chair. The doctor laughed.
"I understand. When I was your age a shrink put me on the same drug. I
refused to take it too."
"You Dr. Smith?" Kitty felt more comfortable.
"Yes me." she laughed again. "That was before I discovered
my telepathic powers. That's part of the reason I wanted to speak with you."
"You think I'm a telepath?"
"Possibly. I'll have to run a few tests first."
"But...Why?"
"You told me a few minutes after you had just gotten back that you had
a dream."
"Yeah."
"A dream about the man who tried to kill you."
"So. I have those all the time."
"So do I."
"Dude."
Lucas flopped onto the bed of his quarters. What a day. First the vocorder goes
on the fritz, then Bridger expected him the do some scans, after that he had
to solve one of the toughest equations he's ever seen. He always hated homework.
Just then his private PAL went off.
"What is it Kitty?" he asked once he fished it out of his pocket.
"Your...............believe................Dr. Smith................tele..."
Kitty's voice muffled. He really needed to fix these things.
"That's nice. Hey look can we talk about this later. I'm kinda tired."
He answered with out waiting for a response he turned his PAL off. Wonder what
she wanted?
Kitty stared at the PAL in her hand.
"He cut me off." She mocked sounding offended. "That little weasel
cut me off." This constituted a visit. She got up putting her PAL in her
pocket and stepping out of her quarters.
Captain Nathan Bridger stepped onto the bridge. Many of the crew turned their
noses as he walked by.
"Whoa Captain," said Commander Ford walking towards him then backing
up. "What happened to you?"
"Kitty. What's the status?" He asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice,
looking to the vid-screen.
"Nothing so far. This is where we heard the distress call but there's no
sign of any underwater colony's or submarines. It's a dessert, so to speak."
Miguel answered.
"I have a bad feeling..." Wendy mumbled. Just then the seaQuest
shook catching everyone off guard. Dr. Smith flew backwards into some machinery.
"Wendy!" Capt. Bridger exclaimed rushing to her side. "Call General
quarters!" he commanded. Tim did this.
Kitty stood at Lucas' door.
"General Quarters!" O'Neil's voice projected as the red emergency
lights flashed. Men and women rushed past to their posts. Kitty was about to
turn around when Lucas' door flew open hitting Kitty in the nose.
"Ow!" she yelped a startled Lucas beside her now.
"God I'm sorry!" He exclaimed over the siren. "Are you OK?"
"Yeah I'm fine." She pulled her hand away to find blood all down her
uniform. "Damn it. I'm bleeding again." She griped as she ran to med-bay.
Kitty was amongst the last the gush in. She stood there her blood stained hands
to her sides. Her nose was really sore. Her uncle Nathan had left the bridge
with the unconscious Wendy. Kitty rushed to her mentor's side. Grabbing the
nearest scanner she began the observation.
"What happened to your nose?" the captain asked.
"I was attacked by a door." A few moments passed while Bridger tried
to suppress a laugh. "According to this there's no damage," she finally
answered turning the scanner off. She then turned the doctors head to examine
the wound.
"Dude." she mumbled grabbing a wet cloth that just happened to be
nearby.
"What?"
"The scanner said that there was no damage, but this is a nasty little
wound here. I'm going to clean it up."
At that moment the ship shook again violently. Kitty attempted to clean up the
spilled alcohol that was jostled from her hand, and clean Wendy's wound at the
same time. No conversation was exchanged while it was being dressed. Both were
waiting for another hit.
Nathan watched his niece. She was very talented in medicine that was for sure. Even after all that happened she still seemed cool as a cucumber. It all must come so easy for her. And she had no idea. Another violent shake.
Kitty looked up after regaining her balance. Her captain watched her as
calm as a summer breeze. The hit didn't even seem to faze him. He must be used
to it by now. She was deeply surprised by how composed she must have seemed
as well. She was scared out of her wits yet her hand moved as if it all just
came naturally. She looked again. For a few seconds she thought she could almost
see a hint of admiration in the captain's eyes. She didn't really get a good
look though. Suddenly another greatly exaggerated vibration and a bright flash
of light engulfed the boat. Kitty was still seeing spots after it faded.
"Is every one still alive?" the captain asked while Kitty's vision
cleared.
"Lets hope so," she answered. She looked to her Uncle Nathan. He was
nowhere in site? "Where are you?" She looked around herself confused.
She would have sworn she had been standing on the other side of the room. Then
she spotted someone, but it wasn't her uncle. "Dude."
There four feet in front of her stood...well...her! She blinked her eyes hard
and looked again. Her other self looked just as astonished as she did. Just
then her PAL went off.
"Lucas, you're not going to believe this..." Kitty began.
"I'm sorry sir?" said the voice on the other line. It wasn't Lucas.
"Who is this?" Kitty asked again.
"Commander Ford. Sir, are you feeling all right? You're voice sounds different."
Just then the other Kitty grabbed the PAL.
"What is it Commander?" it asked using Nathan Bridger's voice.
"The enemy seems to have disappeared. Should I call off Generals Quarters?"
"No wait for me. Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they still
aren't there."
"Yes sir."
Kitty swallowed as the other Kitty handed her back the PAL.
"Well this is some mess we've gotten ourselves into this time, isn't it?"
it sighed still using her uncle Nathan's voice. Kitty was uncommonly stunned
as she put the PAL back into her pocket. She had no idea she could impersonate
voices. Then she caught a glimpse of herself on the metal table that once had
alcohol on it.
"I'm old," she stammered looking at her uncle Nathan's face in the
table.
"You're me," he cleared.
"Now what?"
"The captain reports to the bridge," he replied pushing his niece.
Kitty started to argue. "What? But I'm not the captain you are."
"But you look like me. There for..."
"Can't we just explain it to them?" Kitty interrupted.
"And what are you going to tell them? We don't even know what happened.
No. It's just better to wait and figure out what's wrong with us before we panic
the boat. Now come on."
"But I'm not a captain!" Kitty freaked out. She couldn't have picked
worse timing to utter those words. All of the crew on the bridge stared at them.
"Sir?" said Ford creasing his brow.
"Uh..." Kitty stopped and lowered her voice. "Uh nothing Commander.
Get back to your post."
"Yes sir."
"What's the status?" Nathan asked in a failed attempt to heighten
his voice.
"Uh, yeah what's the status?" Kitty repeated doing better this time.
"There is still no sign of them."
"Good you keep an eye out and I'll go check on Dr. Smith." Kitty turned
around and was about to leave when Nathan stopped her.
"She's being taken care of sir." He answered his voice doing better
as well.
"Uh, yeah, yeah right." Kitty mumbled walking back and taking a seat
in Nathan's command panel. He had been subtly gesturing towards it with her
eyes.
"Sir," said O'Neil pulling off his headphones. No reaction. "Sir."
Still nothing. "Captain." This time Kitty turned his way her eyes
a mix between 'Who me?' and 'I shouldn't even be doing this!'
"Yeah Tim," she automatically replied. He looked at what he thought
was his captain strangely then continued.
"I think they're hailing us."
"Uh, on screen." She was trying to sound more like her uncle this
time. The vid-screen flipped on but there was no one there. Suddenly a deep
threatening voice boomed.
"Trespassers! You will be annihilated if you do not back away!" Kitty
looked longingly to where the real captain was once standing. He wasn't there,
She was alone...again!
Nathan watched his niece in action. A little awkward, but she was doing
better than he did on his first day.
"What's the status?" he asked helping her a little.
"Uh yeah what's the status?"
"There is still no sign of them."
"Good you keep an eye out and I'll go check on Dr. Smith." Nathan
grabbed her before she could leave.
"She's being taken care of sir." If Kitty left now they would be wondering
why later. Besides he was there to supervise.
"Uh, yeah, yeah right." Kitty mumbled taking a seat in his command
panel. Good she got the hint. Just then a hand landed on his shoulder and a
voice was whispering in his ear. "You're needed in med bay."
"Now?" he whispered back.
"Yes now." The man replied grabbing supposedly Kitty's arm. Before
Nathan could object he was being dragged out.
"Hey what are you doing!" he objected once they were well down the
hall way. He didn't want to make a scene. The man didn't answer. Nathan finally
wrenched out of the man's bruising hold. "What's the meaning of this?"
He asked calmly dusting Kitty off. "What rank are you?" The man only
laughed.
Kitty began to perspire.
"Sir? Are you sure you're ok?" Ford asked again whispering.
"Commander I'm fine." she lied. And it greatly showed in her voice.
The other crew members began to notice as well. "Ti..." Kitty stopped
herself and cleared her throat. "O'Neil can we trace that?" She was
using her original voice now only it sounded like Nathan.
"Yes sir." Tim complied.
"Do it. In the mean time we should stay here. Better yet. Ortiz, back us
up a little. We don't wanna tick off what ever that was." Kitty was surprised
at how calm her voice sounded when she said this.
"Sir," Ortiz replied. This time she was paying attention.
"Yes."
"Were not moving." Kitty got up and stood behind him.
"Try it again." He pushed a few buttons...still nothing.
"They want us to leave, yet when we try to we can't..." she mumbled
to herself. She turned to Commander Ford. "I don't know about you Jonathan
but I smell a trap." she mumbled.
"They're aiming their cannons at us sir," one of the men replied.
Kitty's heart rushed. The only thing she could get through her mouth was "Oh
God were gonna die." Fortunately it came as a mumble.
"Sir?"
"Uh, raise shields." she substituted.
"All shields are down sir!" came the report
"They're firing at us sir!" Kitty only stood and starred.
After being less than delicately escorted to med-bay he spent most of his
time avoiding being run over.
'Kitty ranks over half the scientists and doctors in here.' He thought immediately
jumping back to dodge a collision with a medical table and it's driver. 'And
she gets absolutely no recognition or respect.' He had already lost his escort
in the crowd. 'Why on earth are there so many people in one spot?' he wondered.
It wasn't long before the answer was revealed. One of the MED's recognized Kitty
and finally let him pass. Over a dozen of his injured crew was being flooded
in. After moments of complete and utter confusion he found the man who led him
there. He was standing over Dr. Smith with two electro paddles.
"Give me 50 gigs!" he exclaimed as the nurse did this.
"Wait!" Nathan called out. He sounded just like his niece. At first
the man ignored him. Nathan rushed through the crowd. For a moment everything
was in slow motion/ He did the first and only thing to arise in his mind. The
second he was within reach he knocked the man over. 'Sharp move' The man gave
Nathan an extraordinarily hostile look. Suddenly Nathan felt very small and
weak. "I-I'm sorry." He stumbled over the apology attempting to help
the man up. He gruffly pushed the hand off. "If you give her that much
it will kill her." His voice was barely over a mumble. Why on earth did
he feel so threatened? He has dealt with people much worse than this guy, yet
he still felt, well...sixteen.
"Raise shields and fire intercepts!" Kitty commanded. The crew
did so. "Prepare for impact!" Every thing beyond this point was like
a reflex. The large boat shook with tremendous force jostling everyone on the
bridge. Kitty even lost her balance and had to sit down. When the chaos was
over Kitty felt her uncle Nathan's heart skip a beat.
"They're hailing us again sir," O'Neil replied.
"Let them through."
"That was only a warning shot. Back away now or you will be destroyed."
the voice once again declared.
"O'Neil did you get that trace?"
"No sir. It must be a recording." Kitty reacted fast.
"Lucas?"
"Yes sir?" He approached her.
"I need you to figure out why we can't leave and who or what is sending
that message."
"Yes sir." He turned.
"And Lucas."
"Sir?"
"After I need to talk to you."
"Yes sir." At that he left.
Nathan turned to the nurse.
"If you give her that much it can kill her. We only need 25," he almost
pleaded. The nurse looked confused. "Listen, 50 gigs is too much. It can
stop her heart permanently."
"Don't tell me you're going to take the word of a child." The nurse
looked from one to the other.
"Yes, Dr. Sizebeck, I am. Toning down to 25."
"Thank you." Nathan said with Kitty's eyes. The man smiled.
"Lucas, report." Kitty talked into her Uncle Nathan's PAL. No
answer. Lucas?"
"Uh, sir," Ford intervened.
"Yes, commander?"
"Walenczak doesn't have a PAL."
"Oh I forgot. We should get him one. He's part of the crew too."
"Sir, you were the one who said that if we gave him one he would use it
to tap into private secured conversations."
"Right. Like I said. He's part of the crew now too, if only he were more
responsible."
Ford said nothing else. Kitty almost felt relieved when the voice contacted
again.
"That was your last warning. We will now shoot to kill."
"Ortiz? Do we still have those shields up?"
"Yes sir. Up and full."
"Good. I want to try something. O'Neal can we contact them?"
"Yes sir, if it's not a recording."
"Try anyway. I have a feeling that was a real person."
Nathan put down the paddles. He managed to get Dr. Smith's heart to beat
again. The crowd still hadn't died down, but at this point all he could think
of doing was rest. Kitty's heart was beating faster than he could think.
"What a rush," he mumbled as Kitty's PAL went off. Kitty had a PAL?
"Yes."
"Hey Kitty. How's everything down there?" a voice asked.
"Lucas?"
"Who else?"
"I thought I...uncle Nathan said you weren't allowed to have a PAL?"
"Two-ways Kitty. There two-ways. Besides, what Bridger doesn't know won't
hurt him."
"It won't, huh?"
"Why are you asking about it now?"
"No reason. How's everything on the bridge?"
"Weird. Bridger keeps slipping from a mixture of whacked out and inane
to unruffled. Like he doesn't know what he's supposed to do half the time. You'd
think he'd got amnesia or something."
"That bad?"
"He did send me to do a diagnostic, because the ship won't move."
"Won't move?"
"Yeah. I think he's got a plan though. He got that sly look in his eye
like you get when they turn dark green."
"I know that look," Nathan sighed. "Did she say anything else?"
"She?"
"He. Did he say anything else?" he corrected.
"Just that he wanted to see me when I was done."
"Ok. When you go see him let me know. I'll come with you. I want to talk
to him."
"Cool." With that the PAL went off. Nathan sighed as another patient
rolled in. Kitty's work is never done.
"I've got contact, sir," Tim proclaimed. He seemed proud of himself.
"Put 'em through." A face Kitty had never seen before came on screen,
but she seemed to be familiar with Nathan.
"Hello," Kitty began. "My name's Captain Nathan Bridger, of the
seaQuest."
"You don't recognize me?" her voice hissed. It made Kitty want to
shudder. To her surprise she didn't. "One would think a man could remember
one of his best students."
Her glare was as cold as the blue in her eyes. Again Kitty wanted to shiver.
She didn't.
"I remember," she half lied. She did remember the woman vaguely. How
she couldn't tell. Maybe her and her uncles minds were beginning to mix together?
Hope not. "You want me, not them. Give me the chance and I'll surrender."
"How self-sacrificing, but don't you feel the least bit bad about forfeiting
your uncle?" The woman continued her blasé stare.
"I would be dieing not him. How does my uncle fit into this anyway? He's
been dead for years."
"You know why." The foe was aware of the situation, and somehow Kitty
felt she was responsible as well.
"Marilyn? Have you been drinking again?" Kitty slipped. Guess the
saying's true. You really can't live over five minutes without thinking. And
she had been doing so well all these years.
"I see you haven't lost your sense of humor. I feel we can negotiate. You
give me your niece, and I'll spare your ship."
Kitty's first impulse was to blantly refuse, but then she thought for the first
time in her life. He should get to decide, not her. When she didn't answer the
screen flicked off abruptly ending the insane laughter on the other side. Kitty's
uncle's face went pale.
"Captain? What does she want with Kitty?"
"God can answer that. Ask him." Kitty stood up. "I want to see
her in the meeting hall."
"Hey Captain, what's up?" Nathan said before the door closed.
"Do I really talk like that?"
"Yes. You do."
"Cool. What's not cool is what's up."
"Well what is it?"
"What?"
"What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing big. Just Marilyn Stark knows what's happened to us and now
she's using that to her advantage. She wants you to surrender yourself to her
as me. How did I know her name?"
"I think our memories are combining. Not too long ago I just had a flashback
of Thanksgiving in Alaska. I've never even been to Alaska."
"I haven't either. I did see a movie like that once."
"That would explain why I didn't recognize anyone."
A knock came at the door.
"Captain, you wanted to see me?" Lucas muffled.
"Enter." Lucas did. "Can I tell him?"
"Tell me what?"
"I don't know..."
"Please, he could help us." Lucas looked at the two strangely. It
wasn't every day he saw Bridger beg his niece to tell him something.
"Fine."
"Thanks. Lucas you're going to have a hard time believing this, but Uncle
Nathan and I have switched bodies."
"You're kidding...right?"
"No, Lucas, Were not." Nathan piped in.
"Dude."
"That's what I said," Kitty quipped.
"You do realize this has never happened before."
"We figured as much." Nathan replied swiftly.
"Isn't there anything we can do?" Kitty asked him.
"I'd have to figure out what swapped you two first."
Kitty had Commander Ford to take over while she thought about the decision
she was about to make. Lucas sat there working on what looked like a remote
control.
"Well?" Kitty tapped her foot impatiently.
"I'm working on it!" Lucas exclaimed for the fifth time. "Sometimes
you can be just as pushy as the captain!"
"Technically I am. Speaking of the captain...where did he go?" she
looked around realizing that her Uncle Nathan had skipped out on them. It only
took her a couple of seconds to realize what he had done. "Oh no."
She pulled out her uncle's PAL. "Ortiz?"
"Yes sir?" he answered.
"How many pods do we have?"
"We're missing one, sir."
"How?"
"Kitty took it. She said it was captain's orders."
That was the last thing she heard from him. Her environment faded and a bright
flash surrounded her. The next thing she knew...
"So, Nathan, I see you decided to give yourself up." Stark smiled
wickedly.
"Huh?"
Nathan glanced around. He was back in his own body.
"Not now." he grumbled agitated.
"Kitty, what's wrong?" Lucas wondered.
"I'm not Kitty," he replied. "We switched back already."
"That's great!" Lucas exclaimed.
"No it's not. Now Stark has Kitty."
"What? We have to go get her!" he jumped up.
"For once, I agree with you."
"Captain," Ford called in. "I think you should come see this."
Stark snatched Kitty's throat. Quickly she turned to the captain who was now on screen. She could feel a cold sharp steal cover it. Kitty screamed.
Stark glared at the SeaQuest crew.
"Now you can watch your precious captain die!" she exclaimed.
"No!" Lucas yelled. Bridger shook his head while the rest of the crew
just swallowed.
"Stark, please no." They all watched Kitty plead with tears. Marylyn
pressed the knife harder.
"What do you want Marylyn? Why do you want to kill my niece? She's done
nothing to you."
"You're wasting your time trying to save your uncle. I've been waiting
to long for this.
"She's gone mad," Ford whispered.
"I know," Nathan answered him. Stark began the motions to slit Kitty's
neck. The entire party watched her eyes glow red. Nathan almost smiled.
Kitty screamed again only this time it was a war cry. She grabbed Stark's arm
and twisted it out of joint. The old woman dropped the knife as she yelled with
pain. Kitty picked it up, jumped down to her on the floor, and pressed it against
her collar.
"Let's see how you like being on the other side of this blade!" Kitty
exclaimed.
"Kitty no!" Nathan commanded.
"Aww why not?" she whined looking back at the almost horrified crew.
"You'll never forgive yourself.
"And how would you know?"
"Because I would never forgive myself if I did. She belongs in jail, Kitty,
not in Hell."
"Fine," she sighed her eyes melting into a sullen brown. "Just
come and get me." She turned off the link.
"I guess this means you won't be needing me?" Lucas asked Nathan as
he left to greet Kitty once again.
"There is one thing..."
"Sir?"
"That two way."
"Oh," Lucas blushed realizing his mistake. He took it out.
"No. You keep it, but if I ever catch you using it for something illegal.
You'll be grounded even longer than you are now."
"Yes, sir." Lucas smiled.
True Nathan should have taken it away from him, but switching bodies with Kitty
taught him something. Kid's don't have it as easy as he thought, and he knew
Kitty realized that captains didn't either.
