Scott blushed and started. "Well we er..."
Jason jumped in, "we went to hire a plane and Scott didn't quite understand the concept of money so we er..."
They both looked blankly at Janeway, then Phantom, followed by each other and finally to the floor...

Seven arched an eyebrow and followed where the logic was going. "They stole the airplane", she said point blank.

Phantom gasped and covered her mouth with both hands, then looked around as if expecting police to swarm them at the pronouncement.

Janeway stared at Archer with an inscrutable expression. "You stole a vehicle. In a situation where it not only violates the Prime Directive, but risks damaging the timeline."

"Actually," said Phantom, "if it follows last time, the timeline should just reset and..."

Janeway transferred the death glare to her for a fraction of a second, and Phantom promptly shut up, flashing a helpless "I'm so sorry" look to Scott and Jason.

Scott carried on looking to the floor, "I didn't know about money..." He said. "And we didn't steal it... We borrowed it..." He said trying to find a more palapatible term.

Jason carried on looking at the floor, also expecting police to suddenly swarm the building...

"Borrowed," Janeway repeated. "Tell me, Lieutenant, what exactly were you planning to say to the owner when you returned it?"

Scott looked up. "Well Jason didn't explain money until after we were in the air... I just assumed we could take it and then return it later... Ma'am..."

Deep breath in. Deep breath out. "Lieutenant, the issue of currency aside, you may have altered the timeline through your actions. That will not happen again." Despite her anger, a little voice in Janeway's mind whispered that it could have been a lot worse. Considering some of the other things she and members of her crew had done in time travel paradoxes, this was probably a minor footnote. "You're sure no one saw you?"

"I don't think so ma'am." Scott genuinely felt bad this time, he knew time did not like to be messed with... "I'm sorry ma'am."

Eyes widening, Joyce stared in disbelief at Seven of Nine. She knew that she shouldn't have been surprised, but nonetheless she was. "Nice going", she muttered under her breath as she looked over at Scott. "You know, planes go missing all the time... quite a few have disappeared mid-flight in the last year or so; it's been in the news. As long as you bring it back when you're done with it, I think you'll be fine.. "

That was some comfort. "All right," said Janeway. "In the absence of other options, and since the damage has already been done...can we all fit in the plane?"

"See?" said Phantom. "This is why I like writing your character. You're not afraid to fudge the rules in order to get stuff d--sorry, I'll shut up."

OOC: I love how Phantom starts and then gets cut off by Janeway!

BIC:
Scott looked up again, "if not we could always write more seats in... That worked for fuel tanks."

Jason loaded the forums and was surprised to find everything that had happened had been somehow already documented on the forums. He had a sudden fear, what if someone is really writing me?!
He ignored the sensation and posted:
Quote:
 

The 4 seater Cessna 172 that Scott and Jason travelled in was mistakenly taken in for modifications by engineers at the airport and they increased it's capacity by Y so all X of them would now fit in!

OOC: How many of us are there?
X= All of us
Y= X-4
#algebra

I also love how I've somehow managed not to get any drama points this story! I only breached the prime directive and stole a plane ;)

ooc: I thought it would be unfair to give points for something that's technically not canon and likely won't be remembered by the characters once it's over. ;)

ic: Everyone stared at the screen for a moment before Phantom said, "I guess now we have to go see if the plane grew. Where'd you leave it?"
