This is taken from the very first scene of A New Hope, You may notice in later chapters that I also use parts of my other story: The Healing.

1. The Plea

Chapter 1: The Plea

Captain's Log: Stardate 67203.8. It's been 4 years since we've heard from the people of Coruscant. When we returned, the Federation was at war with the Typhon Pact, Mr. Spock has met a younger Capt. James T. Kirk and Riker and his crew continue talks with the Romulans. Now, the Khitomer Accords no longer apply. The Enterprise continues to investigate.

Data has been asked by Captain Picard to continue testing the combadge, listening for anything important from the Vortex.

In the Vortex: A cloaked man is sitting in his chamber, his mask removed. He reaches into his pocket. The communicator. He looks at it. He presses it. "I need help. Is anyone there."

Back on the Enterprise: Data hears this plea for help. He makes his way to the Captain's ready room.
