Picard sat in his office clicking random buttons on the computer. The crew hadn't been through an interesting incident in almost a week. He was bored. The whole crew was too. He stood up, straightened his uniform and walked through the automatic doors. Riker sat in the captain's chair talking to Deanna. Data wasn't at his post. He was probably with Geordi in a holodeck simulation. Worf clicked monitered the security channels in the back. Picard smiled. His crew was actually stable for once.

"Sir, there is a strange ion storm forming 4 light years away." Picard sighed and his hopes immediately dropped. Hopefully it would be something interesting and not deadly. "On screen."

A big purple green light shined like a neon strong across the stars. It was like nothing he had ever seen before, "Data report." He said to the com. "Yes sir." the android answered. Riker stood up to shadow Picard, "What do you think it is?"

Before he could answer Deanna interrupted, "I'm sensing emotions from it, Captain."

Data stepped onto the bridge. "Finally," Picard started, "What can you make of this Data."

It didn't look as if Data was listening. The android slowed its pace and looked at the glowing purple across the night, "It's a currently forming wormhole, sir."

"A wormhole!?" Picard exclaimed. If it was a wormhole there was a possibility there were lifeforms about to break through. Perhaps ones that were deadly. "Deanna, do they seem hostile?"

She shook her head, "Not at all. In fact they are exploring if I read their emotions right."

Suddenly the purple light grew larger almost engulfing the Enterprise. When the light cleared, a ship was present nearly nose to nose with their ship. It was like a mirror because the othership was in fact the Enterprise as well. Not just their Enterprise, but the Enterprise- Nil. Data took another step forward to stand next to Riker and Picard, "Intriguing, they have crossed timelines and are now in ours."

"You're meaning to t-tell me that James T. Kirk is on that ship?" Picard stuttered. Data nodded. "Oh my god..." Riker murmured.

"I'm recieving a call from them sir." Worf stated.

"On screen." Picard said.

Worf switched the screen to James T. Kirk. It was when he was young and had recently been appointed captain. Data tilted his head, "Facsinating."

"Hello. I see you have a slightly better version of out ship," Kirk said with a smirk, "May I ask what year is this? I'm pretty sure my crew and I went through a wormhole."

Picard smiled, "Let's just say the James T. Kirk I know, is about 45 or 50 years older than yourself."

"Interesting. I know it's a long shot, but is there a possibility you can help us somehow? My crew doesn't exactly know how to reverse a wormhole." Kirk said.

Picard smiled, "My chief engineer and 2cnd officer might be able to help you out. How about you gather a party of yours and beam over with them if you feel more comfortable."

"I'm already comfortable with any man who rides the Enterprise." Kirk grinned and the screen went blank.

Picard shrugged his soldiers, "Worf can you go escort them to their quarters, and escort Captain James T. Kirk to the engineer room?"

"I sir." Worf said and headed to the transporter room.

Data turned to the captain, "Shall I head to engineering, sir?"

"Yes. Go."

The android nodded and walked away. Deanna stoo up and walked over to Riker, "I sense an unsettling vibe coming from the other ship, but that is completely reasonable from the current situation."

"Well there's finally something interesting going on right?" Riker asked with a smirk.

Picard sighed relieved, "It would seem so."

Worf met three men in the transportation room, "I hope you don't mind if I brought my chief science an medical officers do you?"

Worf shook his head, "Not at all, but as far as security goes I have to ask you your full names."

The vulcan spoke up, "I'm spoke and this is Doctor Leonard McCoy. For some reason unknown he likes to be called Bones."

The doctor wasn't listening, "They let Klingons on the ships now? And I thought having Vulcans was a bad idea."

"Bones, be friendly," Kirk started, "So, I understand your crewmates will help me?"

Worf sighed, "Yes. I will show your crew members to their quarters then you will follow me to engineering."

Worf turned around and walked into the hallway. He led them around a few different corridors. "This barely looks like our ship, Jim." Bones whispered. Spock sighed, "Obviously 45-50 years in the future, things will tend to change."

Bones rolled his eyes, "Why they would even allow Klingons in our space defies me."

Kirk shrugged, "Maybe we've finally made allies with them."

"I'm afraid not admiral, " Worf said, "I'm the only one."

Kirk nodded, "Hmm...wait did you just call me admiral?"

Worf coughed embarassed, "Apologies captain. I am not used to you as a Captain."

Kirk smiled, "No it's fine."

Worf signalled two different rooms. "Doctor yours is over there and here is yours Officer Spock." Spock nodded a thank you. Bones reluctantly smiled. Kirk sighed, "Finally we got rid of them, so, take me to engineering then?"

Worf nodded and led him there, "It's just around the left corner. I must return to the bridge. You will find Geordi Laforge, our chief engineer, and Lt. Commander Data, our android second officer."

"Your andr-" before Kirk could finish Worf had started to leave. The captain sighed and walked towards the hallway going left. It seemed like a small engine room at first then he sat the whole warp core layout, "Amazing," he said to himself.

"What is, sir?" A strange robotic voice asked from behind him. It was a really pale man with pale yellow eyes. Kirk jumped with surprise, "Let me guess, your name is Data?"

"Correct, sir." the android stood firmly and efficiantly, "I will answer any questions you have to ask me sir."

"Yes, your uh, security chief told me the chief engineer would be down here as well. Geordi? was it?" Kirk asked a bit nervous in the androids intimidating prescence. Data nodded, "He is busy fixing our warp core at the moment."

"I'll wait until he's finished. I'd like to have a little group meaning if that's okay."

"If that is sufficiant to you sir."

"So you're an...android?"

"Yes sir, the only on of my kind." The android blinked twice, "I know just about everything in the universe. I can absorb all information."

"Really?" Kirk asked with sudden interest, "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but may I ask if you are capable of having human relationships?"

Data shook his head, "You will not hurt my feelings sir. I do not have any. But am capable of having relationships with fellow human beings and crewmates."

Kirk smirked, "I find it utterly impossible for there to be a being with no emotions."

"Will believe it Captain," Geordi said as he approached, "He really is just an android sometimes."

Data glanced at the captain, "How about we discuss this 10 forward?"

Geordi nodded, "Alright. Let's go."
