Chapter One: Unseen and Unheard Of

"Scott to Bridge", Scotty's oh-so recognizable voice filtered over the intercom system.

"Kirk here, what's the problem Scotty?" There was a second of seemingly endless silence on the Bridge, the entire crew waiting to hear.

"Well Captain, It innat good in the least bit. It seems that we're havin some trouble with the Warp engines. I am afraid we won't be able to keep as high as warp 2 for longer than a minute." Once again silence overtook the Bridge crew.

None of us remembered any damage done (I certainly didn't) recently, but Scotty could not possibly be wrong.

The Captain of the U.S.S Enterprise looked around at all of the higher of officers, then all the new ensigns, most top of their class, including me. "Fine, Mr. Scott. Try to find the problem. Report to me when you have an answer."

"Captain, if you will permit me, I may have an answer." The context of that single sentence made us all think of Spock, but it was a girl voice. "Continue Ensign Korff.'' Kirk told her after a second of disbelief. Spock seemed like he was smirking, which was way out character for a Vulcan, even if he was half human. I could tell Spock knew what was coming.

"The Star System we are currently in has a high Ion-Electrode count. In saying so that it is not the Warp engines that is the problem, but rather the Dilithium being adversely affected by the high negativity."

Every single person on the Bridge looked up and stared. I could almost here them thinking, is she a Vulcan too? Maybe Spock had a Daughter… I was thinking that too, but I knew it wasn't right. She didn't have that same greenish tint all Vulcans had as an affect of their green blood. Besides, since when would Spock have time for a child? Not only that, I recognized her. We were best friends for maybe a year at the academy, but she had graduated before me and we lost contact.

Her theory is quite correct, Captain. I —," Spock didn't get to finish his sentence because at that moment the Anti-grav system cut out and we were all thrown upward. Then before we could even hit the top of the bridge deck we were slammed back down again. We lay on the ground, winded and confused. Spock brought us all back to reality with one word.

"Fascinating." He said, peering intently at the computer library.

Instantly all personnel was scrambling about, trying to get back to their posts before they were yelled at. Oww owww owwwwww…. My wrist was broken, I could feel it. I got up awkwardly, my left hand dangling at my side. Captain Kirk was still down, looking like he was out cold.

I took my customary place behind Pavel Chekov, the Navigations Officer who was tasked with training me. He had dark brown hair combed to one side and soft brown eyes. He had a bruise forming on the side of his face. "Vhat a rough ride zhat vas." He said to himself in his thick Russian accent.

"Dr McCoy to bridge, we have some minor injuries, possibly major." Uhura from said across the room.

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I'm coming. What's the worst of it?"

Lt. Nyota Uhura answered back quickly. "The Captain is down, as well as several of the ensigns with some broken bones,"

"On my way." McCoy said back, now in a hurry.

Spock then took the conn. "Bridge to engineering."

"Scott here" answered Scotty sounding rather tired and perplexed.

"Do you know why the gravity faltered?" Spock asked without any accusation in his so very stiff tone.

"Not a clue, Sir." Scotty answered back quickly. I could hear something blaring in the back ground.

"All Main engine Blocks down, Sir. We will have to continue on impulse engines." Uhura said from communications

"Understood, Lieutenant." Spock told her. Then turning back to the conn said, "Keep me posted, Mr. Scott."

"Aye, Sir, But where---? "

"The Captain is in need of medical care; therefore I am in command at the moment,"

Scotty paused with surprise. "Aye, Sir. Scott out."

Spock saw who were watching him and his conversation with Scotty over the conn system. Immediately we looked away and tried to look like we were doing something of major importance. If he noticed he didn't show it.

Captain Kirk, Who was still partially unconscious on the ground, was starting to come around. McCoy had just now come, immediately setting about to work on the Captains' injuries.

After Kirk was taken off the Bridge, Dr. McCoy then went to treat all the ensigns who managed to get hurt. He came first to Ensign Korff. I just now saw her standing there with her face scrunched up in pain her shoulder slumped, half hidden behind Spock.

"I'm fine! I can't just leave!"

That's about when Spock cut in saying, "Yes, you can,"

"It's about time you said something beneficial to me, Spock." McCoy grumbled. Spock merely raised an eyebrow at McCoy's grumbling.

"That is Hardly true, Doctor, seeing as how I have given you yet another patient to treat, it would seem only beneficial to her since she would be the one to get the treatment and you are the one to use your time doing so," McCoy gave an exasperated noise of total annoyance.

"What does it matter?" He asked. They started to leave when Chekov spoke up.

"She iz hurt too, Doktor," He said completely ratting me out. "You little traitor," I whispered to him through my teeth. He flashed a smile at me.

Stupid Russian, I thought as me and the other ensign were lead away.

We walked to the turbo-lift and floated down to the deck that Sickbay was on.

"I never really liked any kind of attention."

She mumbled beside me. She looked terrible, with a slumped shoulder and a cut on her forehead that continued to bleed some of it dripping into to her eyes, probably tinting her vision red.

"It doesn't seem that way after that big speech you gave on the Bridge. You even had Spock surprised." I told her with a small laugh. "I'm Jenny remember me?," I told her happily even though my hand hurt like he-eck. I was trying not to swear, not even in my head, for all it was worth

"Becky, remember me? I sure do," She said with a half smile-half grimace.

We reached the Sickbay within the minute, where everyone was rushing around to help with the more seriously injured people.

In an instant McCoy had rushed over to the Captains side. Becky and I craned our necks to try and see but then we were taken to the next room over and inspected by Nurse Chapel and Ensign Graham. The only reason I knew Johnna Graham was because she had been at the top of the entire med school.

The only thing that had given her trouble was that she kind of caved under pressure. She seemed to have it under control as of now though which was pretty good.

While the nurse took Becky, Johnna helped me.

"Hey, long time no see," I said with a grin as she dressed my wound with a silvery bandage.

"I know, amazing we were assigned to the same ship, isn't it?" She murmured as she finished. I just nodded at her.

"Okay you can go, they need lots of help up on the bridge." She told me and I silently thanked God. Becky scowled at me with a look that said 'you are so lucky'

I chuckled under my breath and winked at her. I walked away without looking back.
