"You see, Captain." says Hollister, "We have noticed that many of the recent honeymooning couples who go to the planet Gemini are failing to return. As you know, Gemini is a favourite destination for newly married couples, but lately, we don't hear from them again."
"Perhaps," I reply, "That they err...like it so much they want to stay there a while longer?"
"Don't be flippant, Captain." he comments tersely, "The Gemini authorities are saying they have no records of them staying there. I want you to go there with some others and find out what is going on."
"You mean pose as a married couple, Admiral?" I suggest.
"Of course!" I replies, "Only they are allowed on Gemini."
--------------
After closing with Hollister, I gather with the senior staff and explain the problem.
"I shall pose as a bride." states Seven.
"I could also do the same with a second couple." suggests T'Pol.
"Erm...I don't think either of you would be suitable." I tell them hesitantly.
"How about me and Worfie...I mean Lieutenant Worf?" Jadzia asks.
"Very well" I say to her, "You and Mr Worf can go, along with Deanna and Commander Riker. Doctor Crusher and I will be the third couple."
Everyone looks at us. Both Beverly and I turn a bright red..
----------------
Hours later, the six of us are approaching Gemini in a shuttle.
"Now remember." I tell them, "You are all posing as newly married couples. You have to look convincing."
"I'm sure we can manage that." replies Jadzia with a smile.
Beverly gives me a smile, followed by a wink.
"So now we are 'married', Jean-Luc?" she whispers quietly.
"Not really, Beverly." I reply, "We have all been issued with fake marriage licences."
"If you say so." Bev says with another sly wink.
----------------
Later, we check in to the hotel, and I go to contact Riker and Deanna and Jadzia and Worf. I can't find them anywhere.
The receptionist denies them ever coming in. He says he was on duty all the time, but I know he wasn't the one who checked us all in.
"The people you mention aren't in the hotel, sir" he says, "We know nothing of them."
That's just great! Four Starfleet Officers have vanished in one hour!

Just like that they vanish - already - must be something pretty sinister going on on Gemini - Well youve got me curious now!
Thanks Captain, for stopping by my little part of the galaxy!
Never a dull moment with the Enterprise. :o)
My mind is working on millions possibilities now. Geemee
Wonder what happened to them, and how they managed to make Worf disappear LOL But I have faith you will find them Captain.
(Play Symphony Number 5 by Ludwing van Beethoven here)
can't wait to read the next episode! :D
I have to say, I prefer Seven in that hot catsuit. That pale, blotchy Borg skin doesn't do much for me.
Oh...intrigue :)
Oooh this is gonna be a good one...
Captain Picard!
Come and get your award from my latest post! ^-^ Spread link love!
ECL, I'll take a look right away.
Professor, Seven's pre-Voyager appearance isn't quite as endearing, isit?
Lavender, Mistipurple, thanks for dropping in. Hope you like it.
You know, when you do find them, they're just going to accuse you and Beverly of wandering off on your own.
Someone kidnapped Worf?
Big mistake.
Doesn't sound like you're going to have time for too much fun on this "honeymoon"!
Hey, there ... hope you have happily settle dback into reality, after your holidays.
Just dropping by to say thank you so much for the postcard, which arrived today. Guess what, I have even posted it on my postcard blog (along with more than 30 others which had stockpiled !!).
Thanks again.
Take care, Meow
I would be more than happy to help rescue Worf...will have to leave Jadzia behind tho.
Nepharia, I think Jadzia is tougher than Worf, so I'd be careful there.
Connie, glad my card got there.
Linda, you're right there!
Curmudgeon, they could well do that!
