Here's White Wolf's revised post

Who: First officer White Wolf
Where: In White Wolfs new office (Captain Niples old office)
When: The morning after the party
White Wolf woke up, lifted his face off the keyboard from which he
was drooling upon a bit. He knew he was feeling the after effects of
having too much dairy products, specifically, the malts. He always
felt quite horrible after having too much of some dairy product
because of what it did to his sensitive sinuses. And his ears were
really begining to ache. He wasn't sure if was all that noise from
the band last night, or if he hadn't completely recovered from Dr.
Keto's 'ointment episode' with his ears. Either way, he was begining
to hear a ringing sound in his ears.
He got up and started walking towards the bathroom. And started
taking a really hot shower to help clear up his sinuses and clear
away the grogginess he always felt after having too much dairy
product. As he stepped out into the steam filled room, he definitely
noticed a constant 'A' note being sounded in his ears. He stopped and
reached up and covered his ears with his paws to see if he could
still hear the ringing 'A' note. Yep, He could still hear it. "Well
looks like I've definitely got ear infection. Hmm, I wonder if theres
any way I could get a veterinarian transferred in now that I'm first
officer. Seems there's never one around when I need one." he
murmured.
The six foot one inch hamster wandered over to the new clear arcrylic
desk with a built in computer display that dominated the center of
the office. Funny, it kind of looked like one he had onboard his
little ship. He walked over and looked at it a little closer, it even
had the same scratches and dents on it. But for the life of him, he
didn't remember moving it in here last night. He sat down in the
chair and started drying his fur with a large towel while he tried to
remember what exactly happened last night. He paused as he noticed a
sticky note list with his paw writing on the computer display which
said -
"To Do's
1) Setup desk.
2) Setup basic computer access functions to desk terminal, use Holly
for now.
3) Run Diagnostics on holly 2's personality. Fix if needed, then
Upgrade for use in desk terminal.
4) Install his (her?) AI to new desk terminal."
There were tic marks near items 1 & 2.
"ok, I guess, that answers that memory lapse." he thought as he hung
the towel on his shoulders, and keyed up on the dumb terminal his
first days schedule as a first officer. Nothing came up on the
schedule. He scrolled the days schedule forward, and found that
nothing was listed on the schedule at all. "Odd, I thought Captain
Niples would've scheduled something for me." he thought, "Well,
perhaps I can better fill in what happened last night with some of
the reports."
The first thing on the reports that caught White Wolf's attentions
was a detailed description of three intruders in heavy armour, all
wearing uniforms whose description White Wolf quickly recognised as
being from the same branch of the STCP that he had previously saw
Darken obliterate members of from existance.
White Wolf grimaced as he remembered with bitter regret
Darkens' 'mind ripping' from him the solution of a theoritical design
of the Deterization Gun (also known as the D-gun).
White Wolfs original weapon design had come from the Engineers
challege for him to come up with something that could surgically
remove a specific individual that was shot by the D-gun from all
alternative realities, by deleting the origin of the temporal
possibility of the individual from the matrix of probability. Hence,
the entire ancestry of the individual would cease to exist from
history in the blink of an eye. The Engineer had only meant it to be
lesson in teaching White Wolf that 'some things are impossible', but
overgrown hamster surprised him by coming up with workable solution!
And then the engineer immmediately made the huge hamster promise to
*NEVER* to reveal this weapon design to anyone, under any
circumstances. Then Darken later 'mind ripped' it from him! White
Wolf felt disgraced, as he had indirectly broken his promise to the
Engineer, and now felt he was obligated to correct this disgrace if
he could.
Luckily, (if that can be said), Due to some quirk of fate,
Darken's 'mind ripping' process had left many gaps in White Wolfs
solution, and Darken had to fill with some geusswork. This guesswork
resulted in Darken creating a faulty D-gun that could only remove an
individual from one reality, and would only make it as if that
individual never was born and didn't remove any of the individuals
ancestors.
Even with these faults, Darken was still able to use the D-gun to
devastatingly wipe from existence everyone at the STCP branch that
was aware of his time meddling. (Darken was also enraged to realise,
that while covering his tracks in this fashion, he had also
inadvertantly helped remove any knowledge of White Wolf from the STCP
in the same stroke!)
Darken then decided that if he could eliminate everyone at the STCP
that knew about him or White Wolf, why not try using the D-gun
against that pesky White Wolf directly? But Darken quickly
discovered that Atemporals are for some unknown reason immune*** to
the D-gun, and inadvertantly provided White Wolf with the perfect
opportunity to retrieve Darkens gun plans and the faulty D-gun.
White Wolf has kept the D-gun hidden ever since. And now there was
this sudden appearance of members from the same STCP branch. White
Wolf's mind raced as he wondered if anyone else knew about the D-gun.
The only people that *should* know about the gun besides himself, was
Darken and the Evil Phil who was present at the 'mind ripping'
process. That was why White Wolf *had* to be very careful and make
sure not to allow the evil Phil to ever escape.
After thinking over several possibilities, the huge hamster then
finally decided he better have a talk with these crewmen, 'Zack'
and 'Cubie' that were mentioned in the report, Which the STCP men
were supposedly after. As he needed to get to the bottom of this
whole STCP intruder business and find out if there was someone else
who knew about the D-gun. "Besides", the overgrown hamster mused
aloud, "I've got enough problems with this time loop without needing
to deal with a possible time criminal here on the Blue Dwarf."
He typed up a short note to stop by stewies place and see them in his
new schedule, as his first entry of official business as first
officer. Then he glanced at the time, and noted he was on duty in
about twenty minutes. He got up, and while throwing the towel onto
the bathroom rack to dry, he noticed his new closet had uniforms
hanging in it.
Frowning the Overgrown hamster said, "Oh no - I'm *not* wearing any
uniform and looking like some kind of hairy sausage sticking out the
casing! Besides, It'll probably be too hot adding a uniform to this
fur of mine already, and I'd bet even Harris would object to me
smelling up the whole ship..."
He walked over and swept aside some of the uniforms to look at what
else was in the closet. The Nearly completed "Kryten" duplicate
mechaniod he'd been working on toppled over onto the floor with a
loud thud and in the process knocked off something else that fell on
the floor. The huge hamster took a moment to check and make sure the
mechaniod wasn't damaged, and then glanced at the other object that
fell on the floor nearby, it was a casual field vest the same color
as the JMC uniforms and it had the commanders rank insigna on it. The
overgrown hamster picked it up and tried it on. Surprisingly, it fit.
"Well, it could use some more pockets. But this will have to do for
now." He muttered as he headed for the door, and off to the drive
room for duty.
-----------------------------------
Where: The Drive Room
Time: A short while later
White Wolf walked into the drive room, and the Alota, Allie and
Ashley turned to glance at him as he walked in. The huge hamster
flourished a paw, and said "Well ladies, What do you think?"
Ashley smiled, and Alota started to say something as a man none of
the drive room crew recalled seeing here before walked up to White
Wolf and said, "Excuse me, Commander White Wolf. I'm Dirk Bell, of
the Science Department. I seem to be locked out of the Science Bay.
Could you tell me why?"
"You mean somebody *actually* does work in that lab?" Deadpanned the
huge hamster.
"Um, Yes." replied Dirk looking a little out of sorts for needing to
answer such a question.
"I see. Well, anyways, the science lab is currently under quarantine
until further notice. You'll have to attend to your duties elsewhere,
Mr. Bell."
"But... Sir?" Dirk persisted.
"Yes, Mr. Bell?"
"I have some important work I need to complete on my computer
terminal in the lab, couldn't I just pop in while in a protective
suit and do it?"
"No, you may not, Mr. Bell as that would break quarantine. I'll see
what I can do about getting your computer terminal access rerouted to
somewhere where you can use it. Good day, Mr. Bell."
"Um.. Could you tell me why the lab is under quarantine?" peristed
Dirk.
"The lab is under quarantine because Saddam has exhibited some odd
behavior."
"Saddam always exhibited strange behavior, what exactly did Saddam
do? Perhaps I could go in there and help."
"Mr. Bell, I initiated the quarantine because I believe Saddam maybe
dangerous. The lab's quarantine will stay in effect until Phil fully
checks Saddam out, and he reports to my I satisfaction that it is
safe. "
"Couldn't I just go in real quick like, and do my business while
Phil's performing his tests?"
"Is your experiment vital or critical to the ships survival, Mr.
Bell?"
"Um... No, it isn't."
"Ahh. Well then, in the meantime, you will have to perform other
duties elsewhere Mr. Bell."
"But... Sir, Why can't I just go in an work?" Dirk Persisted again,
and went on like this for several minutes until the huge hamster
finally shook his head in exasperation and said "Mr. Bell, do you
have any important business here in the Drive room?"
"Yes, I'm requesting permission to enter the science lab."
"Mr. Bell, would you please do the ladies and myself, whom you've now
given a splitting headache, a big favor? Would you please leave the
drive room?"
"I will, after you give me permission to enter the science lab."
"As I said many times before, Mr. Bell, No! Now, would you please
leave the drive room?"
"After I..."
"Consider that an order, Mr. Bell."
"Your ordering me to leave?"
"Yes!"
"Ok, I will right after..."
"Tiny, Would you kindly escort Mr. Bell out of the Drive room?"
The seven foot tall Sargent Major steps forward and drops his hand on
Dirks shoulder while saying with a grin "With pleasure, Commander!"
"Err, Does this mean I can't enter the lab?" manages Dirk as Jackson
quickly hustles him out the door.
The huge hamster nods and sucks in a noisy breath, and slowly
exhales, Then says towards the Sargent Major "Thank you very much,
Tiny."
Then smiling towards Alota, Allie and Ashley, then overgrown hamster
says "Now Ladies, where were we before we were so rudely interuppted?"
Allie spoke up "Well, I suppose we were going to give the daily
reports we normally give to Mr. Niples, um... I mean the First
Officer, which is you now that he's Captain."
"Oh good! I was hoping if I had something to do other than standing
around looking authoritative. So what is the first report about?"
-------------------------
OOC - Over to you ladies! Feel free to fill in some gaps on what all
our duties are.

Footnotes -
*** Thus far, White Wolf's only explaination for this unique immunity
was when the Engineer had once tried to explain it to him while
discussing White Wolfs unusual existance; saying atemporals had
something to do with being a temporal constant like that of the C in
the often qouted equation of relativity and thus not being affected
by temporal disruptions such as time stops, time loops, recursive
time and such.
