I Never Knew It Rained In Engineering
Chapter 1.
No there's six I know I can feel it
Now - Somewhere in 80 miles from Soma
The jet was beginning to go into palpitating shaking and moving upward toward the sky .
Scott , what's happening Jean screamed as she held on the Scott . Logan moved toward Rogue holding on tight as he strapped her end tighter . Jean and Scott did the same leaving Ororo by herself . Gambit who was unconscious's and strapped in the back of the jet and shaking around as the jet seem to move back and forth.
Storm strapped her self in only for a strap to break . Jean looked to where Ororo was. Logan heard it break he tried to removed his strap when his strap tighten around him.
The sky seemed to open into space . Ororo tried to hold on but some invisible force came slamming into her. Sending her backward the others watched in horror as She was thrown to the back . The sound of metal twisting and of Ororo screaming echoed though their minds as everything went black .
Space : Star ship Enterprise - Same time
Mess Hall
The ship was in prefect running order today but it seems that the chief engineer was having the worse day . Malcolm sat down next to Hoshi as Trip came in with one of the those angry looks he would only give a vulcan .
Malcolm looked at Hoshi. What's wrong with him Malcolm said . He's been like that for two days now everyone in engineering have been on edge he won't even eat dinner with the captain Hoshi whispered as Trip walked passed them .
Trip's Quarters
Trip entered the shower trying to cool him self off . He was angry and bored . Trip stepped out of the shower as his comm. beeped . Archer to Commander Tucker Trip groaned. Ya cap'n , It seems that there is a problem on the bridge could you come down please. Ya cap'n I'm on my way . Trip quickly got dressed turning off his old Earth music of Oh brother Where Art thou soundtrack off .
Bridge
Trip entered the bridge to see T'Pol and Mayweather the only one on the bridge . Yes Captain Trip said . Well I called you up to see if Engineering is in order . Yes captain I just stopped by not to long ago
"What's the problem . Captain there is activity on the planet surface . T'Pol said as she turned toward the captain. cutting Trip off. What type of activity . Archer asked It appears to be a ship of some kind there are life forms on broad but their ship it damaged badly . T'Pol ran a scan again . Sub -Commander, what is it . Captain there seems to be worm hole forming on the planet but it seemed to have
dematerialize . But I though wormholes didn't exist or no ones never been able to prove it . Well Commander Tucker they are real . Archer to Lt . Reed and Ensign Sato I need you two on the bridge now .
Captain
After a matter of minutes Malcolm and Hoshi were on the bridge .
Yes Captain Malcolm said I'm sending a away team to the surface I want you Hoshi,Dr. Phlox and Commander Tucker to accompany Sub -Commander T'Pol to the surface .
30 Minutes later - Down on the surface
Doctor Phlox and the other landed on the surface of the planet . The terrain was tropical with white sandy beaches and irish green waters . The team looked around to see burned marks leading into a opening of a island chain . Trip and Malcolm walked toward the the burnt marks .
What the hell I haven't seen one of those in so long but this one is different Trip said smiling a little . I know , what you mean this jet is or was in prefect condition . Malcolm said as they watch T'Pol and Hoshi moved to a opening in the jet.
Inside the Jet
T'Pol called Doctor Phlox . Phlox turned to see five people in the jet . Phlox moved to the first two people . One was a women with fiery red hair that was long and touched her shoulders while the other had a strange device over his eyes. Phlox went to touch it when T'Pol pulled his hand a way .
T'Pol opened her comm., link to the Captain asking him for more help . Well Sub -Commander it seems that these two are in prefect health and they both only sub stained concussions . Phlox said while showing his famous smile.
Phlox moved to the next two people . He notice that the women had dark brown hair with a white streak and that her whole body was covered up and her was wearing gloves . Malcolm looked at the one with the white streaks his eyes seemed to sparkle with enchantment . . While the other the man beside her was tall with wild hair .
Phlox asked Trip and Malcolm help move them to the shuttle but when they got to the man with the wild hair he was like dead weight . T'Pol and Hoshi moved over toward them T'Pol scanned the man . He seem to have metal laced over his whole body . T'Pol told the others and told the men who came to help them to make sure that they are all together and that this one is with security . Phlox warn them no to touch the young women with the hair and the man with the strange device over his eyes. Trip called as He motioned toward the back of the jet . Malcolm watched the other away team move the women into the shuttle.
Phlox noticed that all were in prefect health as he moved to the last person . Phlox moved over the person . HIs hair was a beautiful auburn color it was long and moved past his shoulders. Dr. Phlox saw Hoshi looking at the man as if in a trance. Ensign would you care to look . Hoshi blushed but told Phlox she had better help T'Pol with something . Phlox opened the man's eyes to see that they were red on black eyes. T'Pol saw Phlox looking into the man s eyes . Sub-Commander I think you should see this . Phlox said . Are they a mutation of some sort T'Pol asked . Well I have to wait to we get back to the ship . But it seems he is injured and these people were trying to get him help.
Mean while - Half a mile from the jet
Trip and Malcolm moved around the jet looking at what caused the damage . Look like the jet was tore apart or something it's just not clicking . Look at the Debris Field . it's about a mile long" . Trip said looking around.
"Trip , did you see the women with the brown and white hair . Malcolm this in his love trance . Yeah what about her . Trip said becoming aggravated at Malcolm . Malcolm noticed that Trip was beginning to be a jerk . Don't you think she pretty . . I'd like you pull her . Malcolm said smiling . What about you. Hell Malcolm she was hot I'd date her . Trip said angry at this point . She reminded me of Ruby at Mill Valley's 602 Club .
Inside the Jet
T'Pol studied the jet from the inside . Sub Commander
Yes Ensign it seems that there is information about what happened and who's on the ship .
Malcolm said moving around looking for something .
Iv downloaded all the files but I have to wait 'til I get to the ship to look at it all .
Sub -Commander I think that Malcolm and I should stay here there some one missing . Commander, Ensign Sato stated that there were only five people . No there's six I know I can feel it Trip said with a high tone .
Three hours Later - Enterprise Cargo Bay I
They all enter the decompression chambers with they visitors .
Bridge
Captain it seems that they have found some interesting things
Hoshi sat at her station going over all the info . Captain Hoshi said as the Archer walked over toward Hoshi .
There is a lot that you need to see but it seems that there were six people like Trip said expect all the information said was . and the rest is gone .
Medic Bay
Phlox looked around to see all their visitors asleep . Suddenly the redhead one began to wake .
Jean looked around as white lights came into her eyesight .
Ah your awake . Jean looked at the Doctor Phlox . She relaxed as she saw his smile . Where I'm I she said .
Why your on a ship called the Enterprise .
Jean read his mind to see he was telling the truth .
Jean looked around to see the different instruments that the room had . Scott Jean said as she saw he was sleeping next to her . He's find but I was told to make sure that he didn't remove the device around his eyes
Thank you We're not on Earth any more are we Jean asked.
Know you are on a explorer space ship called Enterprise. It seems that a wormhole brought you here .
Planet Surface Below - Inside the jet
Malcolm looked around and was ready to go for the last two hours when Trip told him to go on ahead with the second away team that came to picked them up .
Trip looked around the jet and went inside when he noticed that the front seat next to the pilot had a strap and it was broken and a glove with a small white x- sign was on the floor . Trip picked it up and moved to the back of the jet when he saw a silver piece of clothing.
Trip noticed that T'Pol and Malcolm were standing in the opening. Commander it seems that you were right there are six not five on the jet T'Pol said as she noticed what Trip had in his hands.
Enterprise - Medic Bay
My name is Jean Grey Jean said with a smile. I' m Doctor Phlox
smiling too . Jean sat up as she began to tell Doctor Phlox her story .
Archer walked in to see that Doctor Phlox was laughing and Jean was talking to him. Doctor you didn't inform me that one of own Guest was awake . Oh Captain Phlox said
I'm Dr. Jean Grey Archer smiled shaking Jean's hands .
After telling her story Archer was floored .
So you and your friends are mutants Yes we are born with abilities I can move things with a mind and I can read minds as well . And your friends here are different powers as well Yes but some can be very dangerous . Jean said pointing to Scott then to Logan . Scott my husband wears his visor to keep his optic blast from escaping the only thing that keeps it from escaping is his ruby quart glasses or visor. But he is no threat to us Jean said as Archer gave Scott a look . Logan on the other hand has metal laced over his whole body and height senses in smell and hearing along with healing powers .
Dr. Grey . Archer said looking at Jean again. Call me Jean . What about her . Rogue can never touch any one without taking a mutant powers for a short amount of time or draining the life force of a human She touched a human and she put them them in coma. That's why she wears the body suit which keeps her and other protected.
Planet Surface Below - Back of the Jet
Trip handed the things to Malcolm before Trip looked around again . He noticed a small trace of blood on the floor where the hole was . Trip
quickly moved around the back of the jet to see the large pieces of debris. Malcolm looked at Trip strangely . Commander Tucker
Commander where you going T 'Pol asked as Malcolm followed Trip closely . T'Pol was about to follow them when her comm. began to beep .
Half a mile from jet - Debris Field
Trip began to move metal as if he was looking for buried treasure . Commander Trip glared at Malcolm. Began to help lift the pieces of metal away . After Trip stopped standing to his feet to look around again to rest . Trip began to move pieces of debris when he noticed a hand and something that looked like white hair . Malcolm observed the panic in Trip's eyes.
Trip bent down to look at the white stuff as he began to dig like nonsensical .
It's hair . Trip said in a preposterous voice.
Malcolm gave a Trip a dumfounded look before sprinting to get help .
Trip moved quickly . It was almost horrible as it was beautiful Trip thought as the creature he found under the debris .
It was a women from her prefect shape and a slender body. Her hair was white as snow and softest thing Trip had ever touched . Malcolm went to go find T'Pol who was on the other side of the jet looking at the other parts of the jet .
Her hair was long it stopped at her back about halfway . But he was jolted with electric by her when he touched her waist to check a pulse . Trip slowly moved a white lock of hair from her face . Trip eyes were wide she was beautiful her skin was a beautiful mocha brown and her lips were the prefect color of a pale rose with a hint of silver glitter . She was wearing a suit like the others but she had a crown on her head.
Trip looked at her again trying to take his attention off her beauty . She was breathing slowly and it was shallow . she was bleeding from the right side of her chest and her shoulder and a cut on her bottom lip. Trip moved her slowly to see her white locks covered in blood where a gash was on the side of her fore head.
Medic Bay
The other began to wake up . Jean quickly went to Scott .
After an hour of explaining and making sure the Doctor gave Logan something to keep him from feeling any movements in space Archer and Scott and the others headed to the Mess Hall .
Mess Hall
Archer showed them to the mess hall . Logan asked chief to fix him a streak . While Rogue and Jean talked and eat apple pie. Logan was a little ticked because of no luck of a beer in his hand anytime soon. Phlox are there any effects we should know about . Ah mild case of memory lost . Jean felt a head ache coming when a metal picture flashed though her mind . Everyone turned to look at Jean . Suddenly everyone had there memory back expect Gambit while the others were looking for Storm .
Planet Down Below - Debris Field
Trip looked up to see it was a thunder storm coming . Trip slowly picked her up and started running toward the shuttle .
As the others had packed up everything and moved into the shuttle craft. While T'Pol and Malcolm were running toward Trip as rain began to pour down hard . Trip covered the white -hair women as he entered the shuttle pod . T'Pol and Malcolm started to run behind Trip. Malcolm looked out of the hatch as the thunder storm began move in fast .
Minutes Later - Cargo Bay I
After quickly getting into Cargo Bay 1 the others were rushing to get the doctor while Trip headed toward the Medic Bay .
Mess Hall
. Archer walked over to Jean . Jean are you okay Archer said in a mono tone . I'm find but where's Storm .
Archer to Ensign Sato please come to the Mess Hall and Being the information file about Storm . Hoshi was meet by T'Pol and Malcolm . The Captain is in the mess hall with the visitors. Hoshi and T'Pol entered the mess hall . Doctor we need you we've found another one . Doctor asked that Jean come with him . Jean make sure she's okay . Scott said.
Outside the Mess Hall
Jean and the Doctor were out the door with Archer close behind them.
Mess Hall
T'Pol and Malcolm stayed behind with the others . Malcolm noticed that the one with the Red on Black eye was talking to Hoshi .
Well all your wounds are healed thanks to Dr. Phlox Hoshi said . What's your name Cheri . The man asked Hoshi Sato Hoshi blushed as he watch him tie his hair into a pony tail . Remy Etienne Le Beau . Your cajun Oui moi poi de senteur* Hoshi blushed.
Medic Bay
Trip paced back and forth as he waiting for the Doctor .
Trip started at the beauty that laid in front of him . On the verge of dying and the doctor nowhere to be seen .
Trip hadn't notice the Doctor come in with Jean . Storm Jean yelled as she took in her friend present state . Archer went to Trip who had been standing there the whole time not saying a word.
Trip ... Trip . We... I could have found her sooner captain they will blame me for her death if she dies Trip they won't blame you and she will not die. As long as her friend and Dr. Phlox are here .
Trip go to your quarters and take a cold shower it will do you good . Archer ordered. Jean sensed Trip distressed but she would never go unasked to help him . Jean walked over to Archer Who is he . Commander Tucker my Chief Engineer . Archer answered .
What are your friend's powers . Ororo Munroe is the most powerful of all of us . But she should tell you about her than I should Captain . But she is the one that should never be .... What Archer asked . You ever heard of don't temp the tempest . Jean said starting at Ororo . Archer walked Jean out as Phlox had finally got Ororo stable .
Mess Hall
She's in a coma Jean said as she went into the Mess Hall to tell everyone . She saw Gambit talking to Hoshi . Jean grinned yet she felt that Gambit should be at Ororo's bedside . After talking about Ororo's state many were worried was she going to make it . But it was clear that Gambit was the one that had lost more memory and didn't even know it yet .
Outside the Mess Hall
They all left while Malcolm and Mayweather walked everyone out toward there quarters that Malcolm set up.
Rogue looked at Malcolm for the first time he showed her to her quarters. I'm sorry for the shortage of space . It's okay captain .
Quarters
Malcolm showed Rogue to his quarters. Thanks sugar. While Mayweather showed the others to their quarters . Logan was to sleep in the same quarters as T'Pol but that quickly changed to him sleeping in the quarters be himself . Hoshi gave up her quarters her Scott and Jean .
While Gambit and Hoshi were together in Trip's room . While Trip strangely enough wanted to sleep in the medic room with Ororo . Gambit and Hoshi were the only to left talking . Archer smiled before heading back to the bridge where T Pol was waiting for him to go over the next step .
Enterprise - Mess Hall
It was about 21:00 hours when Dr Phlox came in the mess hall to see Trip . Phlox sat next to Trip and started to talk . Trip who had been wandering the ship the whole night worrying about the women he had never until three days ago and felt this feeling about her . Was mopping around in the mess hall eating pies .
Commander she will be find considering her injuries when you found her she could of been dead Trip looked up at Phlox . And it seems that the young women name is Ororo Munroe . And she's a goddess Trip said aloud realizing what he had said aloud. Phlox only smiled as he eat his dinner and Trip eat a whole pecan pie. Commander she will be find don't worry Trip red face looked up at Phlox and said thanks and walked back to the Medic room .
Medic Bay
Trip sat on one of the bed's watching Ororo before he turned on a strange device . And music started playing softly it was down low so it wouldn't wake her . I'm sorry about this Ororo Trip said as he softly touched Ororo s hair . Such a pretty name . Mine's Trip Tucker .
Trip wanted to kick himself for the way he was talking to her before he laid down nex t to her on another bed listen to the old Earth song by Simply Red called Holding Back the years .
Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Ororo's fingers moved slightly.
