Timeline: 05/14/2394, 10:10

Bervag, in Kerjas body was pacing about sickbay, still trying to process things. Also, he was on his own without Bers. Walking over to the replicator he ordered a hot tea, hoping that would help. He sipped his drink as he waited for the others. A part of him was curious as to who was who. He walked a little to the side to give others a chance. "Had to be that tablet." he said under his breath as he sat.

Avril, or T'San, walked in. She had her hands behind her backs and then saw Kerja sitting down. She was followed by T'Meela in Bervags Body. T'Meela explained to her that Bervag was in Kerja's body.

T'Meela had some trouble initially steering his body, she actually found it a blessing that she wasn't the only one in his body. Bers was somehow keeping her calm and her thoughts focused. Also finally her Vulcan training, that Bers somehow picked up from her kicked in. The chaotic mind she was having before all this, seem to be non existing. Also the Vulcan training helped to keep a lit on the memories, just like it was keeping a lit on her emotions. She also walked in with Bervags hands behind his back and the same neutral face as you would expect from Vulcans. It may have taken a while, she felt quite calm and at ease.

Dan in T'Meela's body ran up to her. "There you are, are you alright?"

T'Meela nodded. "Yes, father, I am well."

Harry was being overwhelmed at first by the sudden rush of memories, it was clear to him that the host was fighting him on this, or was the host trying to help? It was hard for Harry to understand. Jexen was a strong personality. How did Kimoni do it, keep the host at bay. Then he remembered they spent years preparing, he was not prepared, and was winging it. He sat down on the bio bed. He decided to lay down, but it was not his body it was Kimoni, he tried to close his eyes, he was trying to focus on a memory of his own. He needed a focal point, to keep himself in control.

Bervag continued to sip on his hot tea as he made his way throughout the room. He was anxious to find out who was who when he saw Lieutenant Jexen, or rather her body looking rather frazzled. Through autopilot more than anything else he walked over, not knowing who it really was. "Are you alright?" he said, placing a hand on the shoulder.

Xalanth were over to one side helping his mate as they help a few more injured crew onto the bio beds. The pain and discomfort was still there, but having mind-melded with each other countless times they were more use to each other's bodies than others. Yazar and Travla had joined them as well both suffering from shock having swapped into each other bodies.

Harry was trying to rest on the bio bed, when he saw the face of his little girl asking him, if he was alright. Of course he was not alright, but how do you tell that too your little girl's body. But he could sense it was not Kerja. "I am hanging in there." He said, wanting to be left alone to rest. The symbiont was a causing a lot of turmoil.

Kerja was staring open mouthed at her own body which was pacing around the room. Pacing seemed like a good idea and so she started moving, looking down at legs that weren't hers and trying her hardest not to panic. It suddenly dawned on her from what someone else had said that Bervag was now in her own body. The thought made her blush furiously as she looked at him, glanced away and looked at him again. Only it wasn't him it was her. How was she ever going to get through this?

Jane Weston walked down the corridor toward sickbay with a PADD in hand. She intended to have a conversation with one of the docs about a personal matter but found herself surrounded by people as the double doors swished closed behind her. She opened her mouth. "Oh, I'm sorry, I guess bad timing on my part. I can come back later."

"Miss Weston is that you?" Asked Harry wondering if the entire crew was affected?

"Of course it's me," Janie wondered if they were having trouble with their eyesight or something but she didn't think she'd ever met the woman speaking to her. "Have we met?"

"This is going to sound strange its Harry Anderson, Kerja's father." He said, in Kimoni's voice.

"Uh . . . what?" Janie replied looking over at Bervag for some kind of confirmation in this.

Bevag in Kerjas body turned red. "It's true." he said, in Kerja's voice, more than slightly embarrassed.

Avril, or rather T'San walked over to Xalanth. "Can I help you doctor?" She asked. She wasn't sure who she was talking to, but she thought the dragonian, though a bit clumsy was very skilled with the medical equipment. She took a medical tricorder out. She started to scan the patient on the bed. She didn't neglect to scan the dragonian to see if she could detect anything unusual.

" T'para." Replied the vulcan from her mate's body as she pointed to herself. She was still learning how to talk with a mouth full of teeth. " No, they appear to be suffering from shock. They should be fine when they come to. " Have you any idea what's happened?"

"Ah, yes, T'Para," said T'San. "It appears there is a switching going on. We have switched bodies. From what I gathered, I am in lieutenant Taylor, my daughter is in the first officer, the first officer is in the captain's daughter, while she is in the captain, the captain is in the Lieutenant Jexen, my husband is in my daughter. Oh and Lieutenant Jexen is in mine. But that is what I gathered so far."

" We'll i'm in Xalanths and he's in mine. I hope they can find out how to fix this. I am not built for this body and Xalnths really having problems." T'para responded running her hand over her currently scaley head.

T'Meela kept touching her belly. "Could you stop doing that?" Her father asked with her voice. "You're making me nervous.

"Maybe it's nervous too," Said T'Meela, "I don't know."

"How are the voices in your head?" Her father asked.

"Quiet."She replied.

"Where is the real Kimoni?" Asked Harry, noticing the room was filling up to much for his liking.

"I'm here Captain." Kimoni replied, turning away from wall console."

"I need you and the doctor to figure out how to get me out of your body and back into mine, same with the crew, then I want you to make sure this never happens again." He said.

"We can look into it, from what I can tell the tablet we brought back reacted to the Multi spectral scan I ran on it in the lab, we'll have to take the scanner apart and try to find out exactly what said reaction was. What gets me is that there's no reason the tablet should have reacted like that... unless of course it was a trap... and I walked right into it."

Kimoni scanned her memories by instinct and let out a annoyed huff when all she should find were her own memories.
The irony wasn't lost on her, After months of trying to get used to sharing her mind with 8 other 'people' now she was down to just herself, she felt lost.

T'San came by with her medical tricorder and scanned Kimoni in her own body. "Well, there is some good news, out bodies are physically fine. There is nothing medically I can find. I could do a brain scan, but I don't think that won't tell us anything we won't already know. We are occupying each other's body."

"There was a settlement not to far, Kimoni head down to the planet, find us some answers, meanwhile doctor see what you can do on your end. Miss Kimoni, take a small security team with you. Most of us are not able to go with you down to the surface."

"If I may captain, surely i'd be of more use to everyone here trying to reverse whatever it is the tablet did to us." Kimoni replied, attempting not to question her choices.

"Being the lead scientist, you are probably the best suited for this role, to see if their is anything down their that can help us, reverse this." He said, in her voice. Harry knew Kimoni was use to sharing her body with Jexen, so it would be easier for her to go the planet, get the data they needed and return.

"Of course Captain, I'll grab my things and head down there shortly." She answered, "Jexen, behave yourself while the captain's in control, this isn't ideal for him either."

Harry watched as Kimoni left. This only upset the host. And Harry was not sure how to handle the host. He needed to go for a walk. The emotions the host where given were to powerful for him to handle. He decided his best course of action was to go on walk.

Avril was a little to the party, she was having a hard time adjusting to Dan's body. It felt strange to be his body. She felt that she was violating his body, by being in it. Worse of all, he was a married man. Avril walked over to the Captain and Kimoni, she wanted to listen in on the plan.
