United, Part 7
Chapter 1: Reunion
Captain's log, stardate: 69465.5, it's been several months since the Enterprise and her crew have gone through the Vortex to the galaxy. Anakin Skywalker, captain of my old ship, the USS Stargazer, has asked that we rendezvous with his ship to the coordinates. He has called upon his son, Luke, captain of the flagship of the Klingon Empire: Kronos I, to join him.
"Captain Picard to the Bridge, please." Data, the first officer said over the ship's PA system.
Jean-Luc Picard, who celebrated his 80th birthday, walked to the Bridge of the Enterprise-E.
"Report, Mr. Data." "Sir, we have received alerts from both Captain Skywalkers that they are reaching the coordinates for the rendezvous. They are requesting ship-to-ship communication."
Picard faced the front. "By all means, Mr. Data. Open a channel to the Stargazer." The face of Anakin Skywalker and his daughter Leia appeared. "Captain, it is good to see you again."
"And you, Captain. Is your son ready for channel sharing?" Luke's face appeared, "Captain, Father."
Picard smiled. "Gentlemen, we are venturing into the Vortex, hopefully not for the last time. If anything should happen, whereas one of us doesn't survive the jump, I hope you have a safe journey, wherever you go." Anakin and Luke agreed, "We are ready to meet our fate. Both of us are old and weak. I am ready to leave this life." "I understand, Captain. The Force is strong with you, but you are not as strong in It as you used to be." Anakin chuckled, "Quite right, Jean-Luc."
Picard inhaled and exhaled, sighing, "I hope that we meet again, in some way, shape or form. If any of us lose each other's memories, be it from Q or some other entity, the Enterprise is prepared for the turnout and the consequences."
"May the Force be with us all."
