I'm afraid I don't own anything related to Star Trek. This is just for fun.
Chapter 1
Marlianna's long, tangled, blue hair flew behind her as she ran. Her small feet pounded on the gravel, making crunching noises as she went. She glanced behind her and saw him catching up. She breathed in sharply in shock and turned her face forward again. With another burst of energy she was able to gain a little more speed. Suddenly an arm snaked around her waist and grabbed her. As she was lifted into the air she screeched and then burst into a fit of giggles.
"Not fair! You cheated!" she cried between giggles.
Her father laughed as he hoisted his small daughter into the air. "I never cheat." he grinned and swung her around above him.
Marlianna spread out her arms as she spun "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" she shouted.
Abruptly she stopped and in a frightened voice she said, "Daddy what's that?" Her podgy little finger pointed into the distance.
Putting her down he looked to where she was pointing. He could see orange flashes of light flying through the sky, eventually landing at the edge of the city. The air thundered and the ground shook. Marlianna shrieked in fear and huddled onto her father's leg. Crouching down beside her he gently unclasped her little hands and held them in his.
"Honey." He said trying to keep his balance on the shaking ground. He could already smell burning. "Go and get mummy, daddy has to go to work."
"But daddy." She cried, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Don't argue. Just go please. I'll be along soon." He promised.
He watched her run into the house. The thundering was getting louder and the burning smell was getting stronger. Already the air seemed thick with smoke. Seeing that she was safe he rushed into the house through another entrance. He stumbled up the stairs, clinging onto the banister to prevent himself from falling. He reached the top of the stairs and almost fell into his office.
"Will someone please tell me what is going on." He asked.
"Mister President! Thank goodness you are safe." His secretary said anxiously. She clambered out from behind her desk and brushed wisps of blue hair from out of her violet eyes. She walked towards the door to the inner office and whispered a warning before opening it for him. "There are strangers here to see you."
"Strangers?" he asked worried about the fear in her voice. *Perhaps they are responsible for this attack.* he thought. "Don't worry Larret I'll see to this." He said and reassuringly patted her arm.
Taking a deep breathe he straightened his shoulders and entered the inner office. Immediately he noticed three strangers. One was seated behind his desk while Nevatt, his advisor, stood nervously next to the seated stranger. Seeing this being sit there rankled him. How dare he sit at his desk! The stranger smiled and stood up. He was pale with funny ridges on his face. His hair was jet black and he appeared to be wearing some sort of military uniform. All three appeared to have what looked like weapons attached to their hips. He felt alarmed since these people were obviously not from Kenzato but his anger overwhelmed his alarm.
"Ah," said the stranger smiling. "You must be the one in charge here, President Makell."
Makell narrowed his eyes and half growled. "And who might you be and what are you doing here? Are you responsible for this attack?"
"Come now Makell, there is no need to use such a tone. I'm here as your friend." The stranger replied.

Captain Alex Larenzo was sitting in his ready room reading over various reports from department heads. Sighing he placed one pad down and moved onto the next. Normally this was a job for the executive officer. However, his crew were new to each other and to him. Reading these reports helped him to get to know how his crew worked. He ran a hand through his thick black hair and rubbed his dark eyes. This was a new ship too. The first galaxy class star ship he had been assigned to. He was sure however that he would get on well with the USS Pegasus.
=/\= Commander Johnston to Captain Larenzo. We are receiving a message from Starfleet.=/\= Called his first officer from the bridge
=/\= Patch it through. =/\= he said as he placed down the pad he had been reading from and switched on his computer terminal. The blank screen came to life with the Starfleet logo which was soon replaced by the image of a glowering middle aged woman.
"Admiral Garland, what can I do for you?" he asked pleasantly with a smile.
Never one for pleasantries the Admiral cut straight to the point. "WE have a mission for you," she said. "We want you to go to the planet Kenzato and make first contact."
"Kenzato," Larenzo frowned. "I've never heard of it."
"Nor should you have. It's of no strategic importance. They are about to discover warp technology."
"Hmmm," Larenzo said not sounding convinced. He believed that there was more to it than that. "Why are we making an introduction before they reach warp capability? Doesn't this go against first contact regulations?" He asked this knowing full well that the answer was yes.
Admiral Garland just glared out from the screen, "Under normal circumstances we would just wait until they first of their warp technology. However, the circumstances here are not normal." She clasped her hands on the desk in front of her before continuing, "The team of scientists we sent to study the Kenzatons cannot be reached. The last transmission we received from them mentioned that the Capital was under attack before abruptly cutting off. I want you to find out what happened and bring back our scientists."
Larenzo leaned back in his chair frowning, "Is there anything else I should know?"
The Admiral pushed a few buttons on the consol on her desk while speaking, "I'm sending all relevant details about the Kenzatons and the last transmission sent by our scientists." She then looked up and her steel eyes seemed to bore into him, "We want you to do everything you can to ensure that the relations between Starfleet and the Kenzatons are good. Garland out."
The screen went blank before he could question the Admiral further. He had so many questions which clearly the Admiral did not want him to ask. Deep in thought he moved from the ready room to the bridge. Commander Johnston gave him a curt nod, stood up and moved to the seat at the right hand side of the Captains chair. Larenzo nodded back to the young but stern officer before sitting down himself.
He turned to Daniel Johnston before saying "Schedule a meeting for all senior officers at 0900."
"Aye sir" Johnston replied without question.
Larenzo then faced the viewer at the front. "Helm set course for the planet Kenzato, warp 6."
"Course laid in sir," replied the young woman.
"Estimated time of arrival?"
"Fifty four hours."
"Engage."
