5Captains log: supplemental
We did not expect a federation starship to exit the rift, much less the enterprise. After a small explanation, they have agreed beam over to our enterprise to discuss further of the situation at hand. I am most exited to meet these idols of history.
In the ready room
"So let me get this straight." Kirk said, "we went through a rift, passed time by about a century, wound up here, and no one knows why?"
"That is the case captain, and as of right now, our scientists are working on a way to get you back home." Picard proclaimed.
A certain uneasiness filled the room, making the newcomers a bit on edge.
After about an hour of discussion, the meeting was adjourned, and the living relics went out to the transporter.
"Captain, I don't know if what their telling us is true, we've had our sensors fool us before. Perhaps they've taken advantage of it." Said Scotty.
"I wouldn't doubt it Scott, but these guys seem reasonable enough." Said Kirk
As they were transporting back they're own ship, a sigh of relief washed over the senior staff.
"Thank God Scotty didn't ask for a tour." Geordie proclaimed.
"I'm just glad we didn't have to mention what happened to him." Said Beverly.
And thank God Worf wasn't here.
A few days later, the federation science ship, the USS Monroe, came out of warp near their position with a few escorts.
And then Scotty remembered something.
"By God, I forgot to ask for a tour! I bet the federation has made a few new advancements since our time!" He exclaimed in the mess hall.
"Scotty...I don't think that's a good idea..." Said McCoy.
"Why not? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! I can't pass this up!" Scott replied
"When am I going to talk some sense into this guy." McCoy mumbled
In main engineering on the D...
"Ok, now start up the warp core again."
The warp core slowly started up, sounding with a small pulse each time the matter/antimatter reaction occurred.
Geordie was happy with this new configuration. According to the specs, power production would go up about %24 from the previous setup.
Bridge to engineering
"Yeah, Geordie here."
Could you please come up to the bridge.
"On my way."
Geordie walked through the personnel in engineering, heading towards the turbolift.
Little did he know what he was going to get himself into...
On the bridge, a few minutes ago...
"Captain, the enterprise is hailing us." Said Worf.
"On screen."
The screen showed the normal enterprise-A bridge, but Scotty was going to do the talking here.
"Picard, you wouldn't...is...is that a klingon?"
Picard mentally slapped himself for that careless act. He should have known to get Worf off the bridge.
"Ah, yes Worf. He is indeed a klingon. Only one in Starfleet to be exact." Picard responded.
"Only one? Well it's a good thing he's on our side, or McCoy would have thrown a fit!" Scott replied.
Somewhere on the A, McCoy sneezed.
"Indeed Mr. Scott," Picard said, "so what was it you wanted to ask me?"
"Ah, yes! I was just wondering if you chief engineer could give me a tour of you engineering section, I am an engineer after all."
Riker, who was near tactical, tried not to laugh, and Worf was grinning like a wolf.
"Of course Scott."
Ready room
"You want me to what!?"
"Just show Scotty here around main engineering. That's not a problem is it?" Riker replied.
Geordie was stuck in between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, he didn't want to have the same incident that happened during the encounter with the Dyson sphere, and on the other, he didn't want to insult one of the most revered engineers in history.
Eventually he made the choice.
"You know what, I'll do it."
"Great! I'll inform mr. Scott of your decision." Riker said.
As Riker was walking out towards the bride, Geordie yelled,
"You owe me a lot after this!"
On the bridge, three days later...
"Any changes to the residue." Picard questioned.
"Nothing yet so far. The residue of the anomaly has been dissipating slowly, but it will fall out of parameters to generate a similar anomaly within a couple of days." A science officer said.
Damnit, if we don't find a way for them to get home, we may end up altering the timeline forever. Picard thought.
"Have our visitors come up with anything." Picard asked.
"I am not sure captain, we haven't had any calls from them as of recently." Worf replied.
Picard was getting worried, usually these type of actions would mean a ship in distress or a bad transmitter. He hoped it was the latter.
Suddenly, the tactical station beeped.
"Sir, I am receiving a distress call from the enterprise."
Damnit..
"Does it say anything?"
"No sir, it's only a standard SOS signal."
Picard paused for a moment, contemplating on how to handle the situation. He couldn't let the timeline be destroyed, but he didn't want to risk the safety of his crew.
Ultimately, he had to preserve the timeline.
"Worf, assemble a team, and set phasers to heavy stun. We're going to see what happened to our friends."
"Aye sir."
Hopefully we're not too late.
After beaming over to the other enterprise, Worf and part of his away team went towards the bridge, while the other went Down to main engineering to check on the warp core.
As Worf was walking towards the bridge, bodies were littered everywhere, as if they just fell down in the middle of what they were doing.
An away team member checked one of the pulses, they were still alive!
"Sir, I think they may have, well, fallen asleep."
"Asleep." Worf replied.
"Yes sir, right in the middle of what they were doing. But there' son sign of struggle at all."
Worf contemplated on this, and decided to have the member take the body back to the enterprise D.
"Yes sir." The member replied to Worf. Then with a tap of his combadge, he was gone.
Worf continued to the bridge. When he got there, he found Spock unconscious over the communications station. And as with the other crew members, no sign of struggle.
He took ahold of Spock's body, and beamed back the the enterprise-D.
In the engineering section...
Ensign Asher was currently inspecting the warp core for any deviations in the field, and as far as he could tell, there weren't any irregularities.
Ker-klank...
Asher turned toward the sound with a phaser pistol, utilizing his little security training he had at the academy.
He told his fellow team member, carol, to keep monitoring the core. And he went towards the source of the sound.
He climbed into the Jeffries tube and after a while...
Plump...
Carol heard this, and being the worrier that she is, decided to follow.
"Asher?" She yelled into the tube.
She kept climbing towards his last location, and when she turned a corner...
She screamed.
Sorry if this chapter is so short, this was a little side project I've been working on, and I'm not used to using other people's characters. Anyway, thanks for reading this far. If anyone wants to give any suggestions on the next chapter please say it in the reviews. Also please R&R, it helps a lot.
