I DO NOT own any of this. please do not sue me. Any thing you have to say
will help me. This is my first posted, well, anything. If anyone has the
technical names for stuff, or the way the ship is laid out please tell me.
I'm not very good at that sort of stuff. I tripled checked but if you see
anything wrong, like I missed a word or letter, please tell me. Thanks. And
if you liked this, I'm already working on chapter two so you won't have to
wait too long.

" Cap'n, what's that?" Commander Tucker called out after doing a quick search of the system.
" What d'ya mean Trip?" Captain Archer asked confused. The only reason they had dropped out of warp was that they had a few parts to fix and double check after that incident with the repair station.
" It looks like wreckage out there. It's a ship." After a couple more seconds scanning the information, " It's still mainly in one piece. I can't get a better scan." He shook his head, the screen casting a blue tint over his southern face. On the other side, T'Pol was rapidly pressing buttons and reading information off the screen.
" It's. It's." For once the Vulcan science officer was at a loss for words. " I don't recognize the class of the ship. There are living life forms on board, though they are very weak." She spouted, trying to get more information from the scans.
" If there are life-forms aboard we have to try and help. Hoshi, Trip, and T'Pol. You're coming with me. Prep shuttle pod one, get EVA suits on and don't forget phasers." With that, Captain Archer walked out with three of his officers and left the bridge in silence. It went unsaid that Lieutenant Malcolm Reed was now in charge. ***
Ten minutes later, shuttle pod one was attempting to dock with the damaged ship.
" Trip can you get anymore scans?" He shook his head. Jon Archer frowned and opened the hatch that allowed them access to the ship. Spreading out, Trip gained access to the ship's blue prints so Archer went one way with T'Pol and Hoshi went the other way with Trip.
" If you see anything, don't hesitate to call. Dr Phlox should be joining us soon with a medical team."
On the jaunt over, Jon had contacted Dr Phlox asking him to follow them over with a couple of shuttle pods and some medical supplies when he had a chance.
Trip and Hoshi slowly went down their direction of the corridor, working their way to engineering. They usually found one or two bodies still alive among the hundreds dead.
" What do you think happened sir?" Hoshi asked when they came out of the twentieth room or so.
" No clue. There's still air in here, most of the damage seems to be done to minor areas. As far as I can tell, that wasn't what killed 'em." They continued in silence.
" Another few meters and we'll be in engineering." Trip was stopped from further comment when his communicator beeped.
" Archer to Tucker." The captains' voice came in loud and clear.
" Yeah Cap'n?" Trip asked back.
" Dr Phlox is here with the supplies. Did you mark the rooms that had living beings?"
" Yes sir. We're just going to engineering. I'll try and see if somethin' went wrong in there." Jon told them to go ahead.
" Hoshi, you can check for living people. I want to look over the engines." He walked up to the warp core looking for structural damage.
" No one's alive here sir."
Hoshi said after triple checking with her scanner. Trip shuddered like someone had stepped over his grave.
" Let's get out of here. No engine room should be this quiet. Five steps to the door, a small groan issued from the multitude of bodies behind them.
" Wait." Hoshi cocked her head to one side listening for the sound again. Trip mentally slapped his wrists as the sound emerged once more.
" Over there. I thought you said no one was alive here." He said jumping over to where a body was pushing itself up on its elbows, speaking fluently in a strange language. Hoshi's face plastered with a confused look quickly went through the scans again.
//What's going on? My eyes. I can't focus. Please! Not again!// The girl screamed and fainted as Trip came closer. The words continued to spill forth from her mouth.
" My scans aren't picking up any life signs." Hoshi continued to run the scans.
" Contact Dr Phlox. I ain't touchin' her 'til I know it's safe." He confessed backing up quickly. ***
Trip and Hoshi were in sickbay re-explaining the circumstances to Dr Phlox, Captain Archer and Sub-Commander T'Pol.
" Try running that by me one more time?" Captain Archer asked for the third time.
" I ran four scans of the room. Not a single one of them came up with a living life-form." The few other patients were quiet and most were sleeping peacefully, except for this one.
" And I can't tell what went wrong. Nothin' exploded and nothin' seemed to malfunction. Of course I haven't been able to completely check the ship's computers." At that the girl woke up screaming and fighting.
" Hold her down!" Dr Phlox yelled as he tried to grab a tranquilizer.
" She's too strong, T'Pol help!" Jon yelled at the Sub-Commander. T'Pol placed her two hands on the girls' shoulders and pushed down as Trip and Jon grabbed her legs. Dr Phlox applied the tranquilizer but it had no effect.
" Hoshi try talking to her." Even T'Pol was losing her grip.
" I can't, I don't even have the basis of her language." Hoshi complained as she rushed to grab her feet.
" The anesthetic isn't working." One of the other patients woke up screaming as well. Dr Phlox applied the sedative to him and he went straight to sleep. The girl broke away from the hands pushing her down and rolled off the table to land hard on the floor.
She sprinted out the door, trailing blood and ran straight to the bridge with Jon and Trip not five seconds behind her. The view screen was still centered on the wreck in space.
" Don't let her touch anything." Archer gasped to the crew. Despite what he said, she picked Travis up out of his seat and sat him gently out of her way with one hand. Sitting down, her fingers flew over the touch pad.
" What's she doing?" Travis asked when he got over the shock of being picked up one handed.
" I think she's checking her ship." Malcolm whispered. The girl's shoulders slumped and she slowly stood up and faced the still panting men. There was a dejected look spreading across her face. Slowly, she walked out the door back down the hall towards sick bay.
" Malcolm, you follow her. Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid." The British armory officer jumped up from behind the equipment and ran out the door after the stranger.
" What was she looking for?"
