United 2:

The Return of the Enterprise

Chapter 1:

Through the Vortex…Again

Captain's Log: Stardate 67119. It's been a year since the Enterprise has been to the galaxy where we met the "Chosen One." Being an explorer, I thought we would return to see what Anakin Skywalker has done, through his training to be a Jedi.

Captain Picard found himself in Engineering and talking to Commander LaForge. "Geordi, can you and Data concoct a way to take the Enterprise through the Vortex, I've been itching to see that galaxy again." Geordi smiled, "I believe we can, Captain." LaForge summoned Data to Engineering and they worked on getting the Enterprise enough impulse and warp drive to return to the galaxy where they met the Jedi.

Six hours later, Geordi called the captain from Engineering, "Captain, we have warp drive and impulse at maximum efficiency. They are at your disposal, sir." "Thank you, Commander. Mr. Crusher, find the coordinates for the Vortex and engage at warp 5." Wesley Crusher acknowledged, "Warp 5, aye sir."

The Enterprise arrived at the coordinates. "Anything, Mr. Worf?" Picard asked the Klingon, "No, sir. Sensors are reading blank." "Let's just wait." Picard sat down and took off his communicator. "I wonder." "What is it, Captain?" Troi-Riker asked. "I gave a communicator to young Anakin Skywalker and I told him we'd return someday. I wonder if I can reach him through this." Picard got up and went to Data's console. "Mr. Data, can you scan and find a missing communicator that has not been issued?" Data pushed a few buttons, "I can try, sir." A few signals blared, "I believe I have found the communicator, and it appears to be activated." An alarm sounded on Worf's tactical station, "Sir, sensors are now picking up the phenomenon. It's the Vortex, sir." "Mr. Crusher, take us in. Drop warp, full impulse." "Aye, sir."
The Enterprise was through the Vortex and came upon the planet of Naboo, where they first started. Captain pushed on his communicator, "Picard to Anakin Skywalker!"
