Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Star Trek franchise, if I did it wouldn't even be half as fantastic as it is.
Note: I have tried to make a good first story story. I may not be entirely accurate as a Star Trek story so I have done some research but if it's not exactly accurate I apologize, I tried my best.
Chapter 1: the incident.
Captains log, stardate 234003.10. The Gettysburg is on her way to Alfa 117 to rescue Science officer lieutenant Matt Hazier from the crashed USS Brattain. The ship had suffered immense damage to her port nacelle by a plasma bomb. A relic from a civil war of a long extinct species. We will transport him to starbase 112 for a debriefing. End log.
" Japar to captain Vanderveen," came a voice over the ships intercom. The captain looked up from his padd , "Vanderveen here." " Captain could you please come to the bridge." "We are approaching Alfa 177." " Affirmative Japar, Vanderveen out," murmured Captain Vanderveen with a troubled look. Captain Jack Vanderveen did not immediately get out of his chair in his ready room. He was thinking about his friend Alison Long, killed in action trying to land the USS Brittain safely. After a minute he got up and exited his ready room.
Lt. Commander Reed what is the status of the Brattain," he asked in a calm voice. Lt. Commander Reed answered him with, " she has sustained heavy damage to her port nacelle as stated in the distress signal." " The engineering section has been flooded by radiation due to a plasma surge traveling from the port nacelle to the warp core." " The front half of the saucer section has been crushed in the crash landing by the force of the impact, it's a miracle she's still in one piece sir." Captain Vanderveen smiled at that comment. He said, " Captain Long was always an experienced pilot." Lt. Commander Reed said, " when she gets towed back to a shipyard it will take a year at the least to repair the damages."
Captain Vanderveen looked through the view screen to the planet below. He asked, " any sign of Lieutenant Hazier?" Lt. Commander Reed looked at his console, " yes he's in the bridge sir," he reported. " He has routed all power to it and has focused all life support on that deck." Captain Vanderveen had a small grin on his face as he said," very good, Commander Japar Lt. Commander Reed meet our guest in transporter room 1." They both looked at Captain Vanderveen at the same time and responded, " aye sir." Both entered the turbolift 1. " Deck eight," said Commander Japar. " What do you think he will be like," asked Lt. Commander Reed. " I heard he does his job as asked and that is all I care about at this moment," stated Commander Japar before the doors opened to deck eight.
They both got out and made their way to transporter room 1. Once there Lt. Commander Reed told the transporter Chief to energize Lieutenant Hazier. It took a total of 5 seconds to energize Lieutenant Hazier. When the process was done Lt. Commander stepped forward and said, " Good day Lieutenant I am Lt. Commander Dan Reed second officer of the Gettysburg." " This is Commander Japar first officer of the Gettysburg." When the Lieutenant's gaze fell on Commander Japar his eyes widened and he backed up for Japar was a Klingon. " Sorry Klingon," he said after he got over the initial shock of a Klingon being aboard a federation starship. Something that had never happened before. Japar looked at Lieutenant Hazier with a fire in his eye. " whenever and wherever you address me you will call me sir or Commander never Klingon you blHnuch (coward). " Yes sir, sorry sir, won't happen again, don't break my legs please," said a very scared Lieutenant Hazier. Commander Japar looked at him with a smile on his face, " now if you will follow Lt. Commander Reed to turbolift 1 you might arrive on the bridge in one piece."
Lieutenant Hazier seemed too eager to join Lt. Commander Reeds side. He also seemed determined to put Lt. Commander Reed between him and the Commander. His plan was to use Lt. Commander Reed as a human shield if Commander Japar decided to attack him anyway. As they made their way to turbolift 1 Lt. Commander Reed said, " don't worry, if you do your job as asked he won't break anything in your body." Lieutenant Hazier looked at Lt. Commander Reed with a serious look on his face as he asked, " Lt. Commander do you trust Commander Japar with your life?" Lt. Commander gave his answer immediately. " I have put my life in his hands multiple times and would do so in a heartbeat." The doors of the turbolift opened up to the bridge and so the discussion ended.
Lt. Commander Reed stepped onto the bridge with Lieutenant Hazier close in tow who also happened to have a look of amazement. Captain Vanderveen came up to them with a kind smile on his face. " Ah Lieutenant Hazier it's good to see you alive and well," said Captain Vanderveen as he offered his hand to Lieutenant Hazier. Lieutenant Hazier happily shook the Captains hand, " thank you sir I'm happy to finally be out of that wreck of a beautiful ship." " Now I know this Constellation-Class vessel isn't up to your natural standards but I hope that …" Lieutenant Hazier interrupted Captain Vanderveen with, " Captain she's the most magnificent Constellation-Class I have ever seen, oh sorry sir I didn't mean to interrupt you." Captain Vanderveen had a little smile on his face, " that's quite allright Lieutenant I always like to meet a man that's a fan of the old Constellation-Class starship. Captain Vanderveen then looked around the bridge with a look of affection and a tone of affection, " the Gettysburg is the most magnificent Constellations-Class in the fleet if I say so myself." He then Put on a serious look and said, " if you will follow me to the observation lounge, we will hear your debriefing on the Brattain incident." "Ensign Jelor set a course for starbase 112 warp 6, and We're not to be disturbed," said Captain Vanderveen as he led Lieutenant Hazier and Lt. Commander Reed to the observation lounge.
" I believe you have already met Commander Japar," said Captain Vanderveen waving his hand in Commander Japars direction. The commander took the opportunity to smile a little devilishly at Lieutenant Hazier. Commander Japar was attempting to make Lieutenant Hazier feel uncomfortable. " This is chief engineer Alison Tucker a Vulcan hybrid," said Captain Vanderveen pointing at a friendly looking Vulcan. " the ships Chief medical officer Anna Oroi a Betazoid," and the Captain smiled as he waved in the direction of a seriously looking women in a blue uniform. The Captain continued with, " my tactical officer Marsha Onal and our Science officer will join us soon, she's in the sensor room checking out some subspace rifts."
Lieutenant Hazier started with, " we were observing subspace rifts similar to those your Science officer is observing at this moment." " We were passing close by one when sensors picked up a metal sphere on our port bow." "It must have been shielded since we didn't pick up any plasma readings." "We ignored it and it passed our port nacelles and then suddenly the ship…" All of a sudden a huge earthquake like tremor went through the ship. Lights went out, monitors exploded in wide arcs of sparks going everywhere, and people were thrown out of their seats. When all of this had stopped Captain Vanderveen used his combadge to reach the bridge. " Bridge what is the status of the ship?" A voice answered him, " sir this sounds hard to believe but we have been sent 10,000 light years away from our original position." All Captain Vanderveen could do was stand there and think those words over and over in his mind.
