ON:

The ship lurched suddenly throwing Jon out of bed. He grunted as his head hit the floor and the coldness from being wrenched out of his warm comfortable bed hit him. The he grunted once more as his head ached from whatever Malone had cracked open just before he left the party decided to take revenge on him.

"Lights," he ordered.

Nothing happened.

"Lights," he yelled again.

He fished around in the dark looking for the bed to pull himself up and as the emergency power kicked in bringing lights back.

"Reynolds to bridge, whats going on?" he demanded.

"We just hit a massive gravitational field sir, it disrupted the warp field and your not going to believe this sir."

"Lay it on me bridge," Jon snapped looking around for his uniform as he slept naked and was now shivering.

"A moon has just appeared out of nowhere sir and hit us with it,"

"If you follow that with "hits your eye like a big pizza pie", I am putting you on report," Jon stated.

"Ermmmmm I don't understand sir ...."

Jon laughed inwardly as he pulled his boxers on. "Frank Sinatra look it up. Rouse the senior crew. Get everyone on the bridge. I will be up as soon as I am dressed. Reynolds out."

He pulled on his trousers and then swore as the ship lurched once more knocking him again to the floor. "Enough Malifik. This is unfair," he demanded at his goddesses statues surpringly still standing on the shelf as he pulled on his clothing and stood up again.

"Dad dad ...." His son made an appearance at his door in sweat pants holding a half eaten dish of ice cream. "Whats going on? I was in bed and then the ship lurched. Nearly knocked all my ice cream on the floor ..."

"Go to your mothers quarters," Jon told him. "I'm going to go find out. I might be awhile."

"Awww dad ... can't I just stay in my room here ...."

He grabbed his jacket and comm. badge turning back at the door looking serious.

"No get your mothers .. and .... seriously .... ice cream. Don't tell your mother about that," Jon told him firmly. As far as Jon could remember Eddie had eaten 3 pieces of cake deciding to drown his sorrows when someone cut in on his dance with his XO.
