"Coming right up!" Vincent told the Bolian on the other side of
the counter as he went to prepare the big guy a meal. Vincent was a
little tired, but kept a pleasing smile on his face. On the inside,
however, he was absolutely ecstatic. Soon, his plans would begin to
unfold, and he would be a much happier person for it. That is, if he
succeeded.
Vincent pressed the buttons on the replicator, waiting for the
machine to replicate the Bolian's meal. His mind was barely on his work,
concentrating on figuring out different aspects of his plans. He was so
wrapped up in thought for a moment that he was truly shocked when the
unthinkable happened.
The plate that was supposed to be for the Bolian was covered in
Ferengi grub worms. Some were fat, some were skinny, but all of them were
of varying degrees of sliminess. Vincent, looking down at the plate, saw
the worms and jumped back. He never liked worms much anyway, so at least
his reaction was fairly true. With this, the three other replicators
along the wall followed suit with more worms of various varieties. It was
enough to make a grown man sick (as exemplified by some of the crewmen
behind the Bolian).
=/\= Rogers to Engineering. Something is wrong with the food
replicators in the mess hall. Yuck! Anyway, do you think you could shut
off power to them and send someone down to examine them? It would be much
appreciated. =/\
=/\= Yes, We'll get right on it. =/\= the voice on the other end
spoke. Vincent gave a =/\= Rogers, out =/\= before looking for something
to clean up the mess. As the worms were continuously reproduced by the
replicator, Vincent ran into the back room to look for something to clean
the mess up. In the other room, Vincent thought about the situation, and
agreed with himself that if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't been
disgusted by the worms, his laughing over the situation would have given
him away.
