"Thank you Ensign," Gregory said, "You are dismissed."


Gregory watched as the Ensign left the office.  "I think he'll need a 
bit of coaching to balance his engineering background with the needs of 
operations," he said.


"Much like you did, Sir," Ywan replied.


"Well, yea, I had come over from Deep Space Nine, where operations and 
engineering are one and the same.  I admit I don't miss repairing waste 
reclimators.  You have no idea how aliens can foul those things up.  
Someone at Star Fleet needs to come up with a better design and retrofit 
the fleet," Gregory chuckled.


The door opened and standing in the doorway was Leeza, with SPOTS at her 
side.


“Oh Captain Eggery”  Leeza said in a little whimsical way.  “You ok 
Captain Eggery?”


“Come in Leeza,” he said to the girl.  “I’m doing fine.  Did Dr. Aggie 
send you to check up on me?” he asked. “This is Chief Christina Ywan, 
she is my assistant in Operations.”


The woman stood up and nodded, “Nice to meet you,” she turned to 
Gregory, “We can finish the rviews later.  We need to talk about the 
cadets.”


She left the room leaving Leeza and Gregory alone.  “You want something 
to drink?” he asked as he stood up, leaning on the cane.


“Chocolate Cake, please.”  Leeza moved around the desk and used his 
chair to climb up on the desk.  “You are walking funny. Why?”


Gregory ordered the chocolate cake and a pastry for himself.  Bringing 
them back to the desk took two trips.  “Well, the doctors told me my 
muscles need to get strong again, and then I’ll be able to walk 
normally, even chase you around the shuttlebay,” he said plopping down 
in his chair.  “I’m glad you came to visit.  How is SPOTS behaving?” he 
asked her.


“He’s oks  Almost like a real puppy with out all the poopie.  He can be 
fun.”  Leeza took a fork full on chocolate cake and shoved it into her 
mouth.  “Lumina is hard to live on.”  Leeza said sadly.


Gregory nodded, “I’m sorry Leeza.  I hope it’ll get better soon. Once 
the doctors give the ok, we will see about getting you to stay with me 
sometimes, and Michael and P’Rah.  Its hard for everyone, I know.” He 
gave the girl a kiss on the top of her head.  “But I am always here for 
you, ok?”


He paused, “Want to see a trick that SPOTS can do?  Ask him for a kiss.”

Leeza smiled, “Kissy, SPOTS”  Leeza said.  Leeza started giggling.


“Yes Mistress,” he says as his eyes flash green and blue.  It moves into 
a sitting position, and Leeza hears the sounds of a replicator.  The dog 
stands up and on the ground is a small flatbottomed tear drop shaped, 
silver foil wrapped item is there.


“What do you think, Leeza?” he asked


“Ewww  did SPOTS just Poopie that?”


Gregory stood up and retrieved the item.  “SPOTS does not poop,” he said 
as he unwrapped the outer coating.  “It is an old Earth treat,” he said 
with a smile as he popped it into his mouth.  “Would you like to try one?”


Leeza gave Dieter that skeptical look.  “Kissy, Pease, SPOTS”


“Yes Mistress,” SPOTS said and the sound of the replicator filled the 
room.  This time the teardrop was purple.


Leeza scooted off the desk and sat on the floor next to SPOTS.  She 
picked up the purple drop and looked it.  She opened it just like Dieter 
did and put it in her mourn.  “Chocolate.”  Leeza started jumping up and 
down.  “Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate”  Leeza Laughed  “SPOTS, Lots 
and lots of Kissies, please.”


Dieter chuckled, “Hold a minute SPOTS,” he said as he looked at Leeza.  
“You have to finish your chocolate cake. And save SPOTS treats for 
later.  You can also ask him for a heart, if you want.  You might be 
able to get him to make you different things as well.”


Leeza thought for a moment.  “Pagetti, SPOTS”


SPOTS eyes flashed for a moment, and there appeared a bowl with 
spaghetti and redsauce.


“That may be the limit of the size of what he can produce, Leeza.  When 
his stores get depleted, bring him to me and I will reload him. He will 
stay with you for as long as you want, to watch over you when P’Rah, 
Michael or I cannot be there,” he said.


“For Reals, Captain Eggery?”  Leeza asked with her eyes wide open.  
Leeza then jumped  into Dieter’s arms.  “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”


“You are welcome my dear,” he said holding her tightly.  “Now, tell me 
how you are doing?”


“It is better.”  Leeza said.  “Kitty cooks breakfast for everyone every 
morning.  Mikey has Pel and Dolly Leeza is lonely without Pel.  What am 
I suppose to do.  My PADD des not allow me take of my ship anymore.  Can 
you fix it?”  Since Leeza had been put on restrictions she has not been 
able to monitor the ship.  Pel has decided to back off and remain 
dormate for a while to allow Leeza time to process all the new changes


“Let me look into it, Leeza.  I’ll have to check with the Captain and 
see what we can do about your computer access,” Gregory said.  “I didn’t 
know P’Rah was a cook, but I am glad he is there for you.  Did you ever 
get Michael to take you swimming?”


“No,”  Leeza said.  “I am sure he is with her.”  Leeza was of course 
refering to Quinna.  She did not like the CMO.


“Well, maybe I can teach you.  Might even be good for my leg,” he said.
