(So sorry about the mix up with loading documents. Somebody pointed out a few mistakes and I edited them, rather quickly. Once again, I'm writing this mostly just for the silly parts, I'm not trying to make this serious at all. But if you see any big mistakes, please let me know and I'll revise and re-upload whichever chapter I made them in!)
Star date 5928.5. We have direct orders from Starfleet HQ to track down Tom Campan, a criminal who recently escaped from his holding cell on Rha'darus. Originally arrested for cowardice, he abandoned ship during a Klingon attack, 12 years ago. We have tracked down his whereabouts to Earth, my home planet.
Aboard the NCC-1701 Enterprise, Captain Kirk is sitting in his chair, the chair. He surveys the crew. Lieutenant Uhura is working on communications, her green hooped earrings dangle every time she moves her head. Young Pavel Chekov and Hikaru Sulu are driving the ship along towards Earth, and once the Earth looks as big as a baseball, they will stop the ship and await further orders. The doors open to the bridge from behind Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock arrives with an update to give the captain.
"Captain," Spock begins, his familiar tone void of any emotion. "I've found some unusual information about Mr. Campan's whereabouts."
"Don't tell me we've got the wrong coordinates."
"The coordinates are accurate, captain. The date, on the other hand, is not."
Kirk turns his head in confusion and his eyebrows raise, before he asks Mr. Spock, "The date?"
"It appears he is currently residing in the Earth year 2013, in the United States of America."
"Any closer speculation?"
"Something called 'The Mall of America', captain."
"The Mall of America?" Kirk asks, his voice drenched with shocked unbelief. He takes a moment to let the information sink in. A criminal residing in a tourist attraction in the year 2013? Kirk looks around and lets a silence pass before he speaks again.
"Why there?"
"I don't know, Captain, but I do know that we will have to travel back in time to catch him."
Kirk nods slowly as Mr. Spock walks over to his post. He rests his chin on his hand as he plunges into deep thought. After a few moments of staring out the glass, gazing into the stars, he flips a switch on the left arm of his chair, not even having to look. He rings up Mr. Scott, who works with the ship's engine. "Scotty" was his popular nickname, and he knew everything about the belly of the beast.
"Scotty," Kirk says, leaning back in the chair. "We're going to need some extra power."
"What for, sir?" Scotty's thick, familiar accent comes through. Anybody can identify Scotty just by hearing his voice.
"We're going to be traveling in time," Kirk replies.
"Yes Captain." Kirk flips the switch back, disconnecting Mr. Scott.
"Mr. Sulu, Mr. Chekov." The two men at the control panel, just in front of Captain Kirk, turn around to meet his full attention. "Be ready to stop above the atmosphere." Kirk turns to Spock and Uhura, who are both now turned to meet his orders.
"Mr. Spock, set the date for 2013. Lieutenant Uhura, keep the communications open."
"Yes captain," Uhura replies, and her and Spock go back to their posts.
Kirk looks down at the flips, switches and buttons on the arms of his chair and presses a button down to make an announcement to the entire crew of the NCC-1701.
"Attention, this is your captain speaking. We will be descending to just above the atmosphere of Earth, but first we're traveling back in time to the Earth date 2013. Prepare for departure. Mr. Spock, Mr. McCoy and I will be beaming down to attempt and catch the criminal we are searching after, along with a few other members of the crew. We shouldn't have to be gone less than six hours. Prepare for departure, Kirk out." He flips the switch and looks to Mr. Sulu, and nods. Mr. Sulu turns around and looks to Mr. Spock, who turns to the date on the monitor, and begins to adjust it.
"I've set the date to 2013, in Earth's years. Ready when you are. Mr. Sulu."
"Going back in time, sir." Sulu grabs onto a handle on the desk and turns it counter clockwise.
After the process of traveling back in time, a rather confusing process not easy to describe, Kirk flips a switch the same switch from before, to call Scotty.
"Scotty, have someone ready to beam us down. Keep the ship running, if we're not back in six hours, send a security team. Whoever this criminal is, he can't do much damage in a mall full of witnesses."
"Alright, Captain." Kirk disconnects Scotty and then connects to Dr. McCoy, or as he calls him, "Bones".
"Bones, be ready to beam down."
"We aren't staying in these uniforms, are we? We'll look like a bunch of damn fools if we keep these on."
"I've arranged for some jackets to wear, and a separate pair of shoes."
"What about Spock? Now I don't know a lot about Earth's history but I know enough that back in those days, there was no such thing as a Vulcan. What are we gonna do about him?"
"We have a wig. Meet me down there in ten minutes, Bones, I need you on this one."
"Alright, Jim." Kirk disconnects him and turns to Spock, who is ready to leave. Kirk turns to Uhura, who is still fixed on her communications.
"Lieutenant Uhura, why don't you accompany us? Go get Yeoman and meet us down there."
"This many people, Sir?"
Kirk nods. "If I remember correctly, this is a big place. In fact, Mr. Sulu, if I have to, I'll have you beamed down later."
"Sounds good to me, captain. I've heard about places like that, I think it'd be a wonder to see one."
Kirk cracks a slight smile and turns to Uhura. "We have different dresses for you and Yeoman, change quick and meet us down there."
"Yes, Captain."
—
Half an hour later, everyone is changed and ready to beam down to Earth's surface, the exact location being about a half a mile away from the Mall of America. Kirk and Bones have jackets on, exposing their shirts underneath but not enough to reveal the star fleet insignia on the left side. Spock wears a black wig, with hair long enough to cover his ears. When Bones walked in and saw Spock adorned in the wig, he doubled over in laughter. Now he is glancing at Spock from the side, snickering when Spock attempts to adjust it to fit his comfort level. Yeoman and Uhura are in longer, simpler dresses. They look just like regular tourists, except for Uhura's green looped earrings and Yeoman's massive beehive head of hair.
"Ready to beam down?" The officer at the desk asks, his hands on the controls. Kirk looks to everyone to make sure they're in position, then says back to the attendant. "All set. Beam us down."
