Star Trek: Other / Mass Effect Crossover
Disclaimer: I don't own anything dealing with Star Trek or Mass Effect. Their respective owners own the rights to these two universes. I just came up with this story.
Summary: The USS Normandy receives a distress call which leads to first contact with new alien races. Who are these new aliens and what is their objective is to help other or is it to help themselves subjugate others.
(A/N: Will take place during the DS9 timeframe with a few meeting between the USS Normandy, TNG, and DS9. It might go through the dominion war.)
"Hi" someone is talking.
'Hi' someone thinking.
"Hi" someone is talking over combadge, message, view screen, or stardate log.
Episode 1: Meeting new Races Part 1
USS Normandy
XO's room
"First Officers personal Log: Stardate 48387.5: the USS Normandy is on its way back to Earth Spacedock for resupply and minor repair. On a personal note I am worried, I know that it illogical for a Vulcan to express their emotions but I worry about my friends near Cardassian Space. Also I am finding it harder to concentrate as we get closer to an unexplored system, I fell something or someone drawing me there. End Log." recorded T'Preea.
"XO you are needed on the bridge." said a voice over the comms.
T'Preea tapped her combadge and said, "On my way EDI."
When T'Preea got to the bridge she noticed that the Captain said, "About five minutes ago we picked up the distress call."
"Is it Starfleet?" asked T'Preea.
"No ma'am it's not Starfleet. It is also not Romulan, Cardassian, or even Klingon." said a voice from the helm.
"We get it Joker. But where is it coming from?" asked the Captain.
"Unknown this area of space has not been charted so there is no information database about it." said EDI.
"Plat it again." said the Captain.
"This is Specter Saren Arterius we were escorting a Quarian back to the flotilla when we ran into Batarian slavers ship. Our ship was attacked by slavers; they believe that we are encroaching on their area of space. We ask assistance from any nearby Citadel ships. We have wounded people please help." said Saren.
"Captain we should help, but be careful of the prime directive." said T'Preea.
"I know, Joker set course for the distress call maximum warp, engage." said the Captain.
"Joker how long until we get there?" asked T'Preea.
"Three hours ma'am." said Joker.
"Very well, I want everything ready. That means I want phaser banks readied, torpedoes loaded, and shields ready." ordered Anderson.
"Yes sir." everyone said as they went about their orders.
For next three hours the people made ready for the battle that was about to occur.
"/Sir we will be leaving warp in a minute/." said T'Preea.
"On my way." said Anderson.
The Captain walked onto the bridge as the ship left warp.
"Go to yellow alert." said Anderson.
"Sir I am detecting multiple life signs on the surface of the planet." said a voice behind the Captain.
"How many Mira?" asked T'Preea.
"Ten to fifteen life signs on the planet. Many of them seem to be injured." said Mira.
"Captain Permission to take an away team down to help them?" asked T'Preea.
"Do it I want these people protected and safely transported to the Normandy." said Anderson.
"Yes sir. Jaxa prepare a second away team." said T'Preea.
"Yes ma'am." said Jaxa.
"Williams meet me in transporter room 3." said T'Preea.
"Yes ma'am, would you like me to bring doctor Chakwas?" asked Williams.
"Yes bring her along we will need her help." said T'Preea.
When they got to the transporter both teams were already there on transporter pad ready to beam down.
"Alright Jaxa you and your team are to keep an eye out for possible attackers. Chakwas I want you to gather as much information as you can and help who you can." said T'Preea.
"Yes ma'am." said Jaxa and Chakwas.
"Captain we are beaming down." said T'Preea.
"Be careful down there." said Anderson.
"Yes sir we will take precisions. Energize chief." said T'Preea.
As the transported finished beaming to the planet below, they took stock of the environment around them.
"Let's find these people." said T'Preea.
It took them a few minutes to locate who they came to help. They saw two rows of people firing on each other.
"Commander it looks like we have a firefight on our hands." said Daxa.
"Fire a warning shot." said T'Preea.
Williams fired the warning shot and both sides stopped firing at each other.
"Now that we have your attention, we can talk this out." said T'Preea.
"We will not talk to people who interfere with us taking back our property." said a four eyed alien.
"What did they take from you?" asked T'Preea.
"They stole those two girls that we acquired." said the four eyed alien.
"What do you mean acquired those two girls?" asked T'Preea.
"They attacked a supply ship killing most of the crew and taking these two girls." said a voice from the other side of the battlefield.
"You or your council cannot do anything about it Specter. An you know why because it is part of our culture." said four eyed alien.
"That's maybe true but we can still free the people that you have forced into slavery." said the Specter.
"Everyone calm down we are going to try and help the injured. Is that ok with both sides?" asked T'Preea.
"Fine." said the four eyed alien.
"We appreciate the help." said the Specter.
The teams went to look over the four eyes aliens first.
"Where are the wounded and how many are there?" asked Chakwas.
"Over here and there are only a few." said another four eyed alien.
"Why-y are y-y-you-u helping u-us?" asked an injured four eyed alien.
"Because I took an oath to help whoever needed it." said Chakwas.
"Hurry up." said a four eyed alien.
"Do not rush me I have to find out what is wrong then I have to find a way to help you." said Chakwas.
"Doesn't matter hurry up." said the four eyed alien.
"Sir if I were you I would calm down." said T'Preea.
"Don't tell me what to do!" shouted the four eyed alien.
"Doctor Chakwas I want you to get stable them we have to help the Specter named Saren Arterius." ordered T'Preea
"I am Saren Arterius." said Saren.
"Commander T'Preea of the USS Normandy, how may we be of assistance?" asked T'Preea.
"Can you take care of our wounded and help us get to safety?" asked Saren.
"We will get your people stabilized and then transport them to the Normandy sickbay. As for taking your people to safety we will talk about that aboard the Normandy." said T'Preea.
"Commander I have stabilized these aliens. I will now stabilize the aliens with Mr. Saren." said Doctor Chakwas.
"Very well, also as soon you get them stabilized send them up to the Normandy." ordered T'Preea.
"Yes ma'am." said Chakwas.
For the next ten minutes Doctor Chakwas with the help of one the alien doctors helped her stabilize the wounded and transport to the Normandy for further treatment.
When everyone got aboard the Normandy, T'Preea was called to the bridge.
"It looks like one of the new aliens was not happy we are being hailed by their ship." said Joker.
"Put it through." said Anderson.
"You have something that belongs to us." said the voice.
"And what would that be?" asked Anderson.
"That ship and its crew belong to the Batarian Hegemony." said the Batarian.
"Why do you say that?" asked T'Preea.
"It is in the area of space that belongs to the Batarian Hegemony." said the Batarian.
"We did not know this was your territory we will leave immediately." said Anderson.
"No what you do not understand is that your ship and crew now belongs to the Batarian Hegemony. So are you going to hand over that ship quietly or are we going to have to take it by force?" asked the Batarian.
"Red Alert raise shields." ordered Anderson.
"Very well we will take that ship from you by force." said the Batarian.
Both ships locked weapons on each other. The Normandy crew did not have to wait long for the Batarian's ship to open fire. As one of the impacted the shields the ship shuttered. Anderson asked, "Damage report?"
"None sir, but the shields are down to eighty five percent." said EDI.
"Return turn fire aim to disable." ordered Anderson.
The Normandy returned fire taking out the Batarian's weapons. The Batarians started to make their escape; they would not make it far before they lost propulsion to phaser blast.
"Stand down to yellow alert. I want reports on anything coming or going from this system. Also get me the aliens that we rescued have them meet me and the senior staff in the conference room." said Anderson.
"Yes sir." said a voice behind them.
Both groups of people entered the conference room and took a seat.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves; I am Captain David Anderson, this is my First Officer Commander T'Preea, our Second Officer and Operations Manager EDI-" Anderson was saying before he was interrupted.
"An AI in position of command interesting." said one of the aliens.
"EDI will not harm you because it would be illogical for her to go harm any of you." said T'Preea.
"How can you be sure?" asked a female sounding voice coming from a containment suit.
"Most of us have worked with her for years and as T'Preea said it would illogical for her to harm anyone without just cause." said Anderson.
"Very well as long as no one is harmed then everything will be ok." said Saren.
"Thank you now I will continue with the introductions. Our Science Officer Mira Lawson, our Tactical Officer Jacob Taylor, our Councilor Kelly Cambers, our Chief Medical Office Karin Chakwas, our Chief Engineer Greg Adams, and our security Chief Sirco Jaxa. Also as you must have noticed on your way here that most of the crew is human or look human. But many of the crew is not human." said Anderson.
"What do you mean not human?" asked one of the aliens.
"If you had not looked at my ears you would say I am human right Mr." said T'Preea.
"Mordin Solus and you would be right." said Mordin.
"My race is called Vulcan and the majority of us are born on a planet called Vulcan. Kelly also looks human but she is not she is a Betazoid from the planet Betazed." explained T'Preea.
"So even though you look human you are not human because you were born on a different planet." said a blue skinned woman.
"Correct we are part of a Federation with over hundreds of members. One of are major goals is exploration of this galaxy." explained Anderson.
"Wait so you activate dormant mass relays?" asked Saren.
"What is a mass relay?" asked Kelly.
"What do you mean "what is a mass relay" it's the only way to travel from system to system." said the female alien in the containment suit.
"We have not seen a mass relay because we us warp engines to move between systems. It does take time sometimes a couple days, weeks or even months to our destination, but we are used to it." said EDI.
"But do you not run out of fuel during that time?" asked the female alien in the containment suit.
"We can but we carry enough that we don't worry about running out. In case we do run out we have ways to get more." said Adams.
"This is interesting a space fairing race that is not reliant on the mass relays. Would it ok have a tour of this vessel later on?" asked Mordin.
"I do not have a problem as long as a senior staff member is with you." said Anderson.
"I will do it Captain." said T'Preea.
"Well after we finish here then whoever wants to go on the tour will go with Commander T'Preea." said Anderson.
When the meeting was finished to a point the Captain released everyone to go about their duty or to go on the tour.
As the tour went on T'Preea was able to find out some of the names the aliens she had help, learned about each of their race, and a few other things.
"As you can see our sickbay has enough space and if we run out of space here we have a secondary sickbay." said T'Preea.
"Is it ok if I stay here and talk with the head doctor?" asked Mordin.
"Ask her if she says that it is ok then go ahead." said T'Preea.
Mordin asked and was allowed to stay and help Doctor Chakwas to offer any help about the newer aliens.
As they left sickbay to continue the tour in engineering the blue skinned female asked, "I would like to know some more about your race?"
"Very well a few of the more important things you should know is that Vulcans tend to live around two hundred years if we are lucky. Also Vulcans have telepathic abilities." explained T'Preea.
"Wait did you say that your race has telepathic abilities?" asked the blue skinned female.
"Yes she did Liara this is an interesting development." said Saren.
"Why, there are plenty of race that have telepathic abilities. Kelly's race is also telepathic. I would like to talk to you about your telepathic abilities at a later time if that is ok with you Liara." said T'Preea.
"That would be nice." said Liara.
When they got to engineering part of the tour the alien know as Tali look like she was in heaven. Tali said with a look of aw, "This place is huge and it is technically amazing."
"Thank you she is a beauty isn't she." asked a man with an accent.
"Kenneth behave the Commanders showing people around." said a female voice.
"Do not worry Gabriella Tali here was just amazed by the work the engineering staff does." said T'Preea.
"Thank you for the complement to my people Commander." said Adams.
"You are welcome Adams but it is the truth." said T'Preea.
"I don't think Tali is going to leave Saren." said Liara.
"She is a Quarian after they do tend to like their ships." said Saren.
"Anderson to T'Preea." said Anderson.
"Yes Captain." said T'Preea tapping her combadge.
"Commander you might want to come to the bridge." said the Anderson.
"Is everything alright sir?" asked T'Preea.
"Everything is fine just have the people with you come to the bridge." said Anderson.
"On our way sir." said T'Preea tapping her combadge twice.
"Should we get Mordin?" asked Liara.
"We can have him meet us at the bridge." said T'Preea.
"Who are going to do that?" asked Liara.
"Like this; computer have Mordin Solus and doctor Chakwas meet us on the bridge." said T'Preea.
"That's all?" asked a surprised Saren.
"Yes the computer has certain functions and it only does those functions on voice activation." explained T'Preea.
"So it is like a VI?" asked Tali who was a little sad that she had to leave the engineering deck.
"If it is like our computer I guess so." said T'Preea.
The group walked to a turbo lift which took them to the bridge. When the left the turbo lift the aliens saw a large screen with what looked like a large fleet.
"My people they came all this I wonder why they came?" asked Tali.
"They probably intercepted the message I sent out for help." said Saren.
"Helm get me contact the lead ship." ordered Anderson.
"Sir they are responding." said Joker.
"This is Admiral Zaal'Koris vas Qwib Qwib; we are here responding to the distress signal that Specter Saren Arterius sent out." said Zaal.
"This Captain David Anderson of the USS Normandy it is nice to meet you Admiral I believe that we have one of your people and some others that we are trying to help out." said Anderson.
"You have my thanks for helping out a Quarian. Not many races would do that." said Zaal.
"We are not like most races we try our best to help whoever needs help." said Anderson.
"Then you are better than some of the other races out there." said Zaal.
"Would you and some of your people like to come aboard my ship have a look around?" asked Anderson.
"I will have to talk to other Admirals and see who would be best to come along with me." said Zaal.
"Take your time I will have to make arrangements of my own to see if another ship could possible bring an ambassador to oversee the negotiations." said Anderson.
"That is fine with me Captain I will also try find someone who would be a good negotiator from within the fleet." said Zaal.
"Very well Admiral I will let you go so you can get things ready." said Anderson.
When the connection was cut both parties went about their business. Captain Anderson contacted Starfleet command and told them what was happening. Starfleet told them that the closest ambassador was aboard the USS Enterprise and that they were being diverted to their location and that they would be there in a few hours.
