" Is There A Way Back Home!"
Chapter One
This story takes place shortly after Captain T. Kirk was given command of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-A after the Voyage Home movie
Captain's Log 9646.24
Now having taken over the new Enterprise, I have been advised by Captain Montgomery Scott of engineering. That all is well with the Warp Drive to begin testing.
After watching the Excelsior the past few weeks, it's been interesting never the less. And now that Command was given to Hikari Sulu after the mess with the last Captain, with this being his second Star Ship to take over, and hoping the last.
It's amazing, in it's self, on just how fast we can travel now, compared to hundreds of years in the past, Doctor Gillian Taylor had told me before leaving with the Science Vessel to explore the galaxy on her own, before deciding to come back to me.
Matter of fact, I believe, I need to send her a sub space message, to thank her very much for the wonderful talk we had, just after being told about my new command.

While on the bridge of the new Enterprise, Commander Spock, even though not his proper position, he was just happy to be back on the Enterprise, after what had happen to him with being restored back his soul, while it was with Doctor McCoy, even now fully recovered and back in his rare form to fight with him over the most stupidest things, including his friendship with James T. Kirk.
Spock was having to be going over the Command staff, codes, Medical staff, weapons, shields and much more for the Vulcan to take in.
It was at this one particular moment, he needed to speak with Commander Uhura at the Communications station checking her board for any sup space messages, Communications as well from within the ship itself.
Currently with the new Enterprise, there are now over 480 crew members, with many of them being new to the Federation/Star fleet members.
Commander Spock walking over to Uhura and her station, in a very low tone, he asked her on whether or not, she was free later to play with him for dinner with her signing a few tunes, while he played the Vulcan Harp for an audience.
"Sure, Spock, I will be happy to sing for you." She tells him with a big smile.
He walks away to sit back down into the command chair.
He waited for the new shift to change for engineering and helmsman positions. A few minutes later, Lt. Sudoi Sulu shows up for her watch, she is the daughter of Captain Hikari Sulu, who is currently on a deep space mission checking the border of Romulus in command of the Excelsior.
Spock check the time as well, to see just how long before Captain James T. Kirk arrives for his watch, since he did mention to him about writing his log, and sending a sup space message to his new found friend from the 20th century, Doctor Gillian Taylor.
Spock had mention to James Kirk, when they were alone, that he liked the very spunk of a woman from the 20th century. As Kirk had looked at him with a strange expression after hearing Spock say the word spunk coming from a Vulcan no less.

Out in deep space...
Captain Sulu and his crew were on edge after the past few weeks while on patrol in the neutral zone for Romulus and Remus.
It's been rather odd to have it very quiet, with sup space chatter from the other side almost non existence.
Matter in fact just on the outskirts, Lt. Galway at the Helmsman position reported to Captain Hikari Sulu that there was derelict Romulan vessel moving into the neutral zone while checking his computer systems.
Commander Voltron was asked at his Science station on whether there were any life signs on the vessel at all, as the Vulcan science officer was very precise with his report to the Captain waiting patiently.
"None, what so ever Captain Sulu!" While going over his station for any new information on the vessel.
"Commander Voltron, anything further on the vessel, or anything that might be out of the ordinary in this part of space?" While asking his first officer having served together the past three years.
"Lt. Donaldson, please send a sub space message to Star Fleet command, and ask for there advise on what we should do, while waiting near the boundary of the neutral zone?" He tells her very quickly before getting up from his command chair.
"Yes, Captain Sulu!, at this distance, it will take three hours to get a proper reply." She tells the worried Captain, while walking around the bridge.

While on board the Romulan vessel, everyone of the Romulan crew members were dead, due to some type of disease that killed them in this area of space.
On the planet of Romulus, several hundred of the Romulan population were dying from some unknown conditions, and the healer's have been unable to find a cause, accept for the fact that a rogue comet had past them by a few months ago.
It wasn't until the past few weeks, that the first symptoms had shown up with high fevers, blisters, and a complete change in the ones that were affected having there personalities changed to kill on the spot.

Star Fleet Command Earth
Admiral Emery received a sup space message from Captain Sulu, advising Star Fleet of the situation in regard to the neutral zone and the rogue Romulan vessel.
It was at this point that a red flag went up with Emery, he had to let the others know once again, that another report was sent in regard to the two Romulan planets were in trouble.
Emery decided to send s message to the Excelsior to go aboard the ship in environmental suits to check on the cause, but in the meantime, Star Fleet will be sending the Enterprise 1701-A to further help out with the same precautions.

Captain Kirk finally arrived on the bridge for his shift, with Spock having to give his friend the command chair to take over, and head on out for his quarters to pick up his harp.
Just before he was leaving, Commander Uhura told Captain Kirk and Spock that a message just came in from Admiral Emery of Star Fleet.
"Put the Admiral on screen, Uhura!" The face of the Admiral shows up in the front of the bridge, with everyone looking on.
"Captain Kirk, I need you and your vessel to travel to the Romulan neutral zone, to meet up with Captain Sulu and the Excelsior to find out what is causing the problem with a derelict Romulan vessel."
"And what do you suspect sir, at this time?" He asked, while looking on at his friend Mr. Spock.
"Captain Kirk, there has been other reports, for where two other Romulan vessels were found elsewhere in the same condition, but in this case those two vessels had everyone dead due to some kind of medical issues to kill each other, and it's your job and the others to find out before it spreads and gets worst." He says to Captain Kirk.
"Yes, sir!" He said.
"Good luck, Captain Kirk, and make sure that you keep in touch for anything out of the ordinary." While the screen goes blank.
