Ok this is my first attempt at a Star Trek fic. So be nice no flames! And please read and review.

I don't own Star Trek never have never will.

The Light of a Star

The star ship Enterprise NCC-1701-E cruised though open space, awaiting it's next assignment while in route to Star base 43 which is currently orbiting the planet Vonx home to the Star Fleet leading medical school.

They were heading there to pick up a newest member of Enterprise crew, Abigail Troi, Deanna Troi's sister and the head of her medical class, which graduated last month.

But that was still 24 hours away, and most of the crew was in the ships lounge "Ten forward" enjoying this time to relax. Nun more so than Dr. Beverly Crusher who had just spent the last 12 hours finding a cure to an unknown virus which had infected more than half of the crew.

Now she sat across from Deanna, drinking a tropical drink of some unpronounceable name.

"Deanna, I hope your sister is as good a doctor as her test scores say she is. Because, I can't handle being the only doctor on this new ship it has at least a hundred more members of the crew. Even if she is only 19 and just starting her residences any help is better then know help"

"I'm sure Beverly" Deanna said before taking a sip of her own drink. Then she smiled and said " but I'm looking forward to getting to know my sister, I haven't seen her for 6 years. Even before I got assigned to the Enterprise."

That conversation had been 24 hours ago, now Deanna stood in the transporter room with Dr. Crusher and Captain Jean-Luc Picard ready to beam over to pick up Deanna's sister, as the Enterprise started to orbit Star base 43.

Deanna, Captain Picard and Dr. Crusher stood on the transporter pads ready to beam to the Star base.

"Mr. O'Brien Ener…" the captain Picard started to say but he was interrupted by the doors sliding open; and 19-year-old Wesley Crusher burst in to the room panting

"Wait" he said as he gasped for breath. "Mom-gasp-emergency-gasp-in sickbay"

Beverly glanced at the Captain then back at her son. "What Kind of emergency, Wes?" she asked her son who replied quickly " Several explosions were detected from the bridge. Commander Riker sent me down there to check it out while he worked on stabilizing our orbit."

Captain Picard sighed and stepped off the platform so that he could stand directly in front of Wesley "Mr. Crusher damage report" he said in a foreboding tone.

"Well sir the engines sustained minimum damage from what little of a look I got at them sir." Wesley told him.

"And what of the crew" the Captain asked with absolute dread in his voice.

"Heavy casualties sir, both psychical and physical. That's why I ran strait her after alerting sickbay to try and catch you sir."

Captain Picard stared at him momentarily then turned back to the two women behind him.

"Change in plans Doctor, Counselor attend to the injured then, report to me, I'll be on the bridge." He said taking command of him ship. Beverly and Deanna nodded and left the room. Captain Picard noticed a hint of sadness in his counselors' eyes. No dough to the fact that her sister's arrival would have to wait.

He was brought out of his thoughts by Wesley Crusher, "Sir, do you want me to return the bridge." He asked the now smiling Captain. Who looked from the transporter pad then do Wesley.

"No" he said, "No, I want you do me a favor" Picard said putting an arm around the young ensign's shoulders and led him to one of the transporter pads. He guided him on to the pad then he spoke to the boy.

"Wesley, I want you to find Deanna Troi's sister, Abigail, and bring her back to the Enterprise."

Wesley looked at his Captain then gave him a small smile nodded, " Yes sir"

Picard smiled back at him, "Good lad" he said as the boy's body disappeared in shimmering lights, as he was beamed aboard the Space Base.

After confirming that Wesley made it to the Space Base. He left the transporter room and headed toward bridge. As he entered on to the bridge and started to try and get his ship back up and running.

Well how was, Please tell me it wasn't that bad. Read and Review
