Space, The Final Frontier.
These are the Voyages of the Starship Odyssey…
It's Continuing Mission: To Defend Earth And it's Allies Against Enemy Attack.
To Explore New Worlds and Gather New Technology…
To Go Boldly Where No Tau'ri Has Gone… Before.
(But For The Exception of SG Units 1 to… However Many there are…)
Cruising threw Hyperspace the pride of the Tau'ri fleet, and Flagship of Earth finally reached it's destination, an unexplored region of the Milky Way Galaxy believed to be the home of an extinct yet advanced species feared by the former Goa'uld regime. Like the mysterious planet called 'Kheb' it was forbidden to even speak the planet and it's inhabitants name in the presence of the Goa'uld or Jaffa warriors. Yet now after the fall of the Systems Lords at the hands of the Tau'ri, the Free Jaffa Nation and the Tok'Ra old legends became stories to tell around the camp fires on many worlds that had kept the secrets for many generations.
Commanding the vessel for the time Colonel Cameron Mitchell, leader of the unit known as SG-1 sat in the command chair thumbing threw the many reports from the many departments on the ship until the one person he was attempting to ignore spoke aloud with a tone of sarcasm in her voice.
"Well this is fun, Mitchell, Mitchell are you listening to me? Or just playing on that damned I-Pad of yours"
"Actually Vala it was ignoring you, pretty much the way I have since you stepped foot on this ship"
"Ohh come one Cam… I'm bored, can't you just order a drill or something?"
Placing the Pad on the chair arm he turned and faced her with a deep sigh.
"You want something to do Vala?"
"More then anything…"
"Alright, I want you to stand up… turn to your right, leave the bridge head down three decks, walk across the corridor, when you get to corridor L-13 take a right and enter the first room… I'll have a coffee, strong black one sugar…"
A slight laugh filled the bridge as she lowered her head slightly as Mitchell turned back to his many reports.
"That isn't funny Mitchell" She barked.
"Really? I thought it was funny as hell. Anyone else raise your hands!"
Hands quickly raised around the bridge as sniggering echoed around the command centre of the most advanced battle cruiser in Earth's fleet.
"You know Vala that coffee, any time you're ready. I was serious"
Standing from her seat she walked towards the door with obvious anger in her step as she left the bridge, smiling too himself he continued to read the many reports as the ship dropped back into normal space close to the target planet. Powering down the large tablet pad he handed it to the nearest officer before he spoke aloud.
"Alright here we go. According to legend this planet was the scourge of the Goa'uld, they feared this planet and it's inhabitants. Ra himself attempted to invade this world but he was beaten back by who ever lived here, that's when Colonel O'Neill the original team ran into him on Abydos, apparently his ship was badly damaged and needed a safe harbour for repairs. Scan the surface of the planet, look for any life signs, remaining structures especially anything in orbit. We don't wanna be caught up in some kind of an Ancient defence grid"
"Aye sir. Scanning now"
The delicate fingers of the young female officer danced over her console as she activated the Asguard enhanced sensors on the vessel, moments later she looked at her console readout in shock as she double checked her readings and finally reported to the Colonel.
"Ahh sir, you're not going to believe this. We've just been scanned from the planets surface. Very powerful almost overloaded our sensors… detecting a large object moving towards us from the far side of the planet"
"Can you identify it?"
"I'm almost afraid to sir, I don't believe what I'm seeing"
Quickly he stood from his chair and joined her at her side, as he looked into the display before him his eyes opened wide as they looked at each other in shock.
"You've gotta be shitting me, RED ALERT! All power to weapons and shields. NOW!"
Quickly the large object came into view as the crew looked stunned at what was approaching them.
"Open a channel to that… ship"
"Aye sir, channel open" Replied the young woman.
"This is Colonel Cameron Mitchell commanding the Earth Starship USS Odyssey to approaching vessel. We are on a science expedition in this part of the Galaxy… please identify your selves. We are none hostile"
"Picking up a message sir, Audio and Visual. Putting it on screen"
Shock gripped the crew of the Odyssey as the approaching vessel's bridge appeared on screen and it's commanding officer replied.
"Earth has no Starships in this time frame…"
"That's not exactly accurate, now we all know who you appear to be, who are you, really?"
"I'm Captain James T. Kirk, commanding the Federation Starship Enterprise… what the hell is going on?"
"I was about to ask you the same question Captain! We are on a survey mission to this planet"
"As are we. We picked up your approach a few minutes ago and moved to intercept"
The two huge vessels hung in orbit around the dead planet, both in a defensive posture with weapons and shields active and aimed at the opposite vessel. Discussions on both ships about the situation became intense and heated until a signal was received by the Odyssey.
"Colonel I can't believe I'm saying this aloud. Captain Kirk is hailing us once more"
"This is amazingly screwed up, put him on screens"
The computer screens changed to the image of the elderly Captain as Mitchell sat back down in the command chair.
"Colonel Mitchell, we are not are not going to get anywhere pointing weapons at each other. As a sign of good faith I'm lowering my shields. Spock has scanned your ship, I don't think any of us would last long in a fire fight against the other. Perhaps you and your command staff should come aboard the Enterprise, we can beam you aboard and…"
"Not needed, we have our own 'Transporter' Captain. And I agree… send over co-ordinates and we'll beam over in five minutes"
"Understood Kirk out"
Almost laughing to himself Mitchell looked around the bridge.
"This has gotta be some kind of a dream. Alright, lets play this by the book, SG-1 to the bridge please… Lieutenant Williams, you're the resident 'Trek' Expert… wanna come along?"
Quickly the young woman snapped her head around, a loud crack was heard as she nodded quickly.
"Try and keep me away"
Five minutes later…
In a brilliant flash of light the four members of SG-1 and the young officer materialised on the transporter pad of what appeared to be the Constitution Class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A, as they stepped down from the platform four people stood facing them with armed guards aiming weapons at them.
"Captain… Kirk I assume?"
"Colonel Mitchell, this is my first officer Captain Spock, Chief Medical Officer Leonard McCoy and Chief Engineer Captain Scott"
"Hello all, Umm… Doctor Jackson, Teal'c, Vala and Lieutenant Williams. What are you doing here?"
"A survey mission, Command ordered us to the sling shot effect to explore the history of this planet…" Replied Spock.
"Captain, perhaps we can discus this in private?" Called out Mitchell.
"Of course, follow me please… First hand over your weapons. You are among friends here Colonel"
"Colonel, I think we should do as he says, those Pha… weapons look powerful" Called out Williams.
Nodding slowly they placed their P-90s and side arms on the ground and stepped back as the security detail removed them cautiously. After walking threw the ship briefly they entered one of the many briefing rooms scattered around the large ship. After taking seats around the table Williams couldn't hold her self any longer, she was now sat face to face with her heroes of her childhood.
"Wow this ship is cool Captain Kirk"
"The temperature on this vessel remains at a constant and comfortable level Lieutenant Williams"
"That's not what she meant Spock, after all this time you still don't grasp a simple joke" Replied McCoy.
"Bones, give it a rest"
"Sorry Jim"
"So, Colonel Mitchell, would you mind telling me who you people are and how did you get that ship? Earth has no Starship capabilities in this time frame… assuming this is 2012"
"Well Captain that could be a very long story. More To the point, how did you and your ship get here?"
"The sling shot effect Colonel, you see a ship heads toward a star as fast as it can, then pull away at the right moment, the resulting effect is a 'Time Warp' if calculated correct a ship can target a specific time in the past of future. Am I right Captain Spock?"
"Exactly Lieutenant Williams, how do you know this?" He said raising an eyebrow.
"I see a little surprise in your face Spock" McCoy chuckled.
Leaning back in chair, Lieutenant Williams smiled as she watched the legendary conflict between the two played out for real before her very eyes.
The meeting between the two command crews lasted for almost an hour before the sound of the inter-ship communications whistle interrupted them.
"Bridge to Captain Kirk…"
"Kirk here, go ahead Uhura"
"Captain, we are picking ship to ship message for Colonel Mitchell and his team"
"Pipe it down here"
"Very well… Go ahead Colonel Mitchell"
Smiling slightly Colonel Mitchell leaned forwards as an image of the Odyssey's bridge appeared on the screens before everyone.
"Major Benton?"
"Forgive this intrusion sir, but sensors are picking up a vessel shadowing us sir"
"What kind of vessel Major?"
"So far, it's unknown sir. We can't get an accurate reading it's at extreme range sir. We only picked it up on the last orbit when it came into view for a split second. But it's big sir, real big"
"Could it a Ha'tak class ship Major Benton?" Replied Teal'c.
"It's a little difficult to say Teal'c… we're working on extending the sensor range as we speak"
"Alright Benton, keep us informed of any developments, Mitchell out"
As the screen faded to the symbol of the United Federation of Planets on the view screen, Spock leaned forward and spoke with the usual calm he had always maintained.
"Colonel Mitchell, we are unfamiliar with a Ha'tak Class vessel"
"That is also a long story Captain Spock. Captain Kirk, we are getting no where with this. I'd recommend we work together on this, something on this planet scanned us with a very powerful beam before we detected your approach. What ever is happening around here is on that planet, I'm going to send a team down to that world… you and your crew are welcome to join us. Perhaps together we can figure out exactly what the hell is going on around here"
"Agreed Colonel, we will meet you on the surface at an agreed coordinates in say… fifteen minutes?"
"Of course"
As they all stood, the Engineer of the Enterprise walked towards Mitchell and spoke with confidence of many years of active service.
"Colonel Mitchell, before you raised your shields we got some amazing readings from you're vessel. You're energy output was off the scale for a ship of that size. I'd like to take a look around your ship if you don't mind?"
"I am afraid not Mister Scott, the Odyssey is highly classified… But then again I suppose a brief tour would be fine?"
"Aye it would sir"
With a smile the Scottish engineer looked back at his commanding officer and life long friend for approval. Nodding softly Kirk agreed as Mitchell replied.
"However we currently have no one available to…"
"Colonel, if you don't mind. I would be honoured to give Scotty a tour of our ship. After a look around this beauty"
"Aye lassie, that I can do. But how did you know I was called Scotty?"
She almost kicked herself as the realisation hit her, as she cast a quick glance to Spock she noticed the traditional raised eye brow as she replied.
"Did I? oh I'm sorry. I have a friend called John Scott back home, sometimes I call him Scotty… it must have slipped out. Forgive me sir"
"No worries Lassie from such a vision as yourself… I could'ne get upset"
