Star Trek TNG: time and again

A forward: this first chapter is from an accidental RP that happened on deviant art in the comment section of puffin studios "tiny", where I had the TNG era and he had the TMP era. You can find the artwork here.

After consulting with my partner, he has agreed to let me turn this into a full blown story. As per said, Star Trek is not mine and is owned by paramount.

Captains log: stardate 98746.2

after returning from eurandus IV, the enterprise encountered what appeared to be a temporal rift. As this is a rare opportunity for studying the fabric of time, we slowed to impulse and halted 4 km away from the rift. We have notified Starfleet of this encounter, and a small fleet of ships is en route to our location to secure the rift.

"captain, your needed on the bridge."

On the A...

Captain's Log: Supplemental

After departing Khitomer, we enjoyed a little "farewell" cruise. We are now returning to Sector 001 for formal decommissioning. With the new Enterprise entering service within the year, there will be no refit for Enterprise-A.

It has just been brought to my attention that an anomaly appeared about 30 km off the port bow. Spock requested that we take a moment to study the phenomenon.

Meanwhile, on the bridge of the D...

picard: what is it number one.

Riker: it appears the rift has started to fluctuate. At this rate ate then gravtitaional pull will increase dramatically. I recommend that we back off and go to yellow alert.

Picard: agreed number one. Any ideas on what's causing the fluctuations?

data: many reasons can be deduced from this situation, but due to the pattern of the fluctuations, I can deduce that a ship may be coming through the rift.

Picard: I see data. Yellow alert, shields up. Keep our weapons ready but do NOT fire.

On the A

Kirk: "Theories Spock."

Spock: "It would seem to be some sort of chrono-pulse maelstrom. Essentially a violent rip in time. Curious, I am detecting a federation type transponder signal, but I cannot identify it."

Kirk: " Could it be a ship in distress?"

Spock: "Quite possible, Captain."

Kirk: " Shields up! Red Alert! Chekov, take us in closer, slowly."

Chekov: "Aye Sir, 1/4 impule power."

On the D...

Data: captain, a ship is emerging from the rift.

*the enterprise a emerges through the rift*

Picard: can you identify it Mr. Data.

Data: I belive so captain. Judging by the hull configuration it is a constitution class refit, with the serial number of...ncc-1701-A.

Riker: the enterprise?

Data: I belive so commander. There is no doubt.

Picard: shields down. Take back from yellow alert.

Data: Sir the rift is closing behind them.

Picard: what? Mr. Data can you try to keep the rift open.

Data: I'm afraid not captain.

Picard: I see. Worf, hail...the enterprise.

Worf: aye sir.

Chekov: "We are within 4 km of the anomaly, Captain."

Kirk: "Spock, report."

Spock: "The transponder is Federation in origin but it is unlike anything I have ever seen."

Chekov: Captain, the anomaly! It has grabbed us! I lost control of the helm!"

Kirk: "Scotty, full reverse!"

Scotty: "What the hell do ya think I've been tryin' ta do!"

Spock: "Too late Captain, we are passing through the anomaly."

McCoy: "Jim, look!"

Kirk: "The Hell? Spock, identify."

Spock: "Visual identification reads, USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D."

Kirk: "What!?"

Uhura: "Captain, we are being hailed."

Kirk: "Open a channel."

On the D...

worf: sir, they are hailing us.

[picard pauses for a moment]

Picard: let's hear it.

On the A

Kirk: "This is Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. You are of an unidentified design and origin. Identify yourself and state your purpose."
