{Conference Room}

"And that's your mission, good luck!" said Admiral van Tomlinsonborg just before the screen went blank.

Borġ picked up the PADD and tried to read a little bit of it again. "Did you under stand any of that?" he asked.

"Not a clue," replied Ramsey just as Commander Youngblood entered.

"No, don't get up," he said from the doorway. "I was wondering if you could enlighten me on your special science project... or help me with whatever the heck's going on here?"

"I wish we could sir, but we couldn't make heads or tails of our... uh... project."

"Roger," was all Youngblood could manage before leaving.

"Let's watch it one more time," Ramsey suggested. "Maybe that will help."

{Winters's Quarters}

The next morning...

Yesterday had been a blur. Picking up new crewmembers and the mission commander Captain Spice from Starbase 10, leaving for Raython IV, and then going back to Starbase 10 to get the forgotten film crew for the next season of a reality Star Fleet tv show. And Captain vonMcCormick was still self-confined to his quarters. It was more like a circus than a reality show.

Winters stepped out of his shower and put a towel around himself. "ACKK!" Someone was there! "Get out or I'll... I'll, I'll blast you!!" He picked up a sonic toothbrush as if it were a phaser.

"Easy, Aurther, easy."

"Captain Spice, what are you doing in my quarters!?! I just got out of the shower!"

"I came down here to give you one piece of advice, Commander."

"How did you get in???"

"Well, as a part of this mission, I do have access to the entire ship, including your quarters."

Winters resigned to the fact that as ridiculous as the whole situation was, there was absolutely nothing he could do. "Okay, what is it, Captain?"

"Your hair," the Captain replied as he pulled a comb out of his pocket and went to work. "If you could do it a little more like this."

Winters looked at himself in the mirror. "Sure."

{Turbolift}

The doors opened to the bridge, and Winters immediately saw a camera in his face. With his new hairdo courtesy of Captain Spice, he tried to ignore the other cameras as he made his way to the center seat, but they were literally everywhere. He noticed Captain Spice standing in the left corner of the bridge.
