	When [[Brendan ~~Shust~~]] wrote his story, ''[[Waypoint Harbor]]'', I didn't give him much to work with beyond "do something with [[Olivia Russell]]'s employer." In all honesty, I was trying to cut my workload by shoving one of my dangling plot threads off on Brendan. He did a great job with it, but then he left Dekelina on the loose! Originally I asked him to rewrite the ending of his story to have her captured, but then the idea for this story started forming (unfortunately, he'd already made the changes by the time I got around to telling him not to bother). One of the wonderful things about there being other Traks writers is that we all get to play off of things that other people create. In this instance, I was able to make use of some of what Brendan created for his story.

	Backing up a little bit, what really got the proverbial ball rolling for me on this one was the idea of bringing back Banyon Kovacs, who was in one story way back in Renovations. Admittedly, that's stretching pretty far into continuity, but he fit really well into what I wanted to do here, which was put a little romance back in Beck's life.

O'Neal shouts a warning to Lazlo, who springs into action and quickly takes out Dekelina and Lerk before shutting down the holodeck program. Dekelina and Lerk are arrested, and Beck and Kovacs rekindle their fling.


			While all of this is happening, [[Bradley Dillon]] is trying to find a way to counter [[Kathryn Janeway]]'s lead in the polls. At one point he asks Beck why the public seems to prefer Janeway. Not in the best mood at that moment, Beck shoots back that it's because people know Bradley. Bradley, however, realizes that Beck is exactly right. While the public is familiar with Janeway's accomplishments in general, they do not know her. He decides to change that, but first, he has to get to know her. To that end, Bradley travels to the Royal Opera House on Caltor Prime, where he arranges to "accidentally" meet the Emergency Medical Hologram from Janeway's former ship, the USS Voyager, and strikes up a friendship with him based on their mutual interest in culture. It is a friendship that Bradley expects to be very beneficial.

	Colonel Lazlo tells his troops that they need to start behaving like marines on and off duty, implying heavily that they should be spending their off hours on the marine deck of the station. They don't get the message. Lieutenant Colonel [[Daniel O'Neal]], for example, is spending the evening in the holodeck with Russell playing extreme croquet. Their game is interrupted by the arrival of Dekelina and Lerk with a bound and unconscious Banyon Kovacs. Russell realizes that Dekelina must be the person who tried to kill him several months earlier just after the opening of Waypoint Harbor. Dekelina demands that Russell get Beck into the holodeck as well, forcing him to comm her. Beck arrives at the holodeck to find Dekelina and Lerk waiting for her. They've also made a few modifications to Russell's program. Beck, Kovacs, Russell, and O'Neal are bound to giant croquet hoops, where they are to be smashed by the arrival of equally massive croquet balls.

	After trying and failing to find enough marines around for a game of basketball, Colonel [[Martin Lazlo]] determines that his troops have become way too soft and comfortable with life on Waystation.		After trying and failing to find enough marines around for a game of basketball, Colonel [[Martin Lazlo]] determines that his troops have become way too soft and comfortable with life on Waystation. While walking through the concourse of [[Starfleet Square Mall]], Captain [[Lisa Beck]] and [[Stephanie Hodges]] encounter [[Lusenkia Dekelina]], who has her yacht parked in the [[Waypoint Harbor Yacht Club]]. Dekelina is accompanied by her new boyfriend, whom she introduces as Arthur Mills. Beck and Hodges recognize him as [[Banyon Kovacs]], the Starfleet Intelligence agent they'd met and whom Beck had a fling with while on leave several years earlier.


			That night, Kovacs comes to visit Beck in her quarters. He explains that he's on assignment and that he's pretending to love Dekelina, but he can't tell Beck any more than that. Feeling an anger that she can't even explain, Beck throws him out. The next morning at the Beanus Coffee Hut, Hodges tells her that the anger probably came out of fear of getting close to Kovacs and getting hurt like she did when her relationship with [[Phillip Harper]] disintegrated. In the food court, Kovacs is distracted and, when Dekelina asks him about how he is feeling, he claims to be tired. She sends him back to their ship to rest. Both people have ulterior motives, though. As Kovacs rushes to catch up with Beck, Dekelina turns to her manservant, Mr. Lerk, for information on the whereabouts of Lieutenant Commander [[Sean Russell]]. She still wants revenge against him for his arrest of [[Olivia Russell]]. After learning of Lerk that Russell would be visiting a holodeck that evening, Dekelina orders him to follow Kovacs. Kovacs has a conversation with Beck and tells her he wants to see her when his assignment is over. She is non-committal. While Lerk cannot hear what is said between Beck and Kovacs, when he reports to Dekelina that the conversation took place, she is convinced that Kovacs is cheating on her. She pumps anesthezine into his quarters on her ship, rendering him unconscious.

			I also got to do a ridiculously over-the-top death trap along the line of something out of the Adam West "Batman" series. Lots of fun.

			As a side note, there are actually people who play croquet through forests and the like. It's called extreme croquet, predictably enough. Thanks to Wikipedia for teaching me that little tidbit.
