So, welcome to my brand new fanfic! In case you missed what section you're in, this is a crossover between the 2009 Star Trek 'verse and Star Trek: TNG. This is merely for one character's sake. Please forgive me for inaccuracies in a few things, since this is my first 'Star Trek' fanfic. I have a Starfleet Technical Manual, (fully illustrated!) so I'll try and make use of that if I can.
Firstly, I gotta warn you. This story will have a few OCs in positions of power.
I suppose I'll just start the story then! Enjoy!
Doctor Jessica Sage, Junior Medical Officer aboard the Constitution-class USS Enterprise under Captain James Tiberius Kirk, groaned in defeat as she turned her cards over.
"How did I lose again?!" Sage complained with a grin. The young woman with short brunette hair in a blue Starfleet uniform tucked her hair behind her ear. She leaned back in her seat.
"I am afraid you have a very obvious and frankly humorous tell, Doctor." Lieutenant Alessa remarked with an emotionless tone and a blank face. The Vulcan with long brown hair plaited over one shoulder swooped her arm over the table, drawing the many poker-chips toward her already substantial pile. Her blue Science uniform was crisp and unwrinkled, her posture straight as a board.
"You mean to say you found something humorous, Alessa?" Commander May Harper's eyebrows had disappeared beneath her very short blonde hair. The red-uniform wearing Engineer hadn't lost quite as many chips as Sage.
"Of course not, Commander. I was merely stating that the concept could be viewed as humour by those with a mild understanding of the human reproductive system." Alessa raised an eyebrow, sorting her chips into piles according to their worth.
The two humans exchanged a glance.
"Did you just make a dirty joke?" Harper fought to keep her almost-laughter under control, using one hand to cover her mouth. "I think you are the first Vulcan to ever make a dirty joke!"
"Oh God, now I really need to know what my tell is!" Sage exclaimed in distress, glancing at the door of Harper's quarters. "What if one of the Senior Officers walks in while we're playing?"
"What you mean is what if McCoy walks in?" Harper smirked evilly. Sage made a series of unintelligible noises then, similar to that of a choking cat.
"Well, at least I don't have the hots for Scottie!" Sage hurled back eventually, her face bright red.
Alessa observed the ensuing joke-argument with a sigh. If it were possible for her patience to be tried, these humans would be the cause. Just then, Harper's communicator beeped, reminding her of a previous arrangement. She stopped mid-prod, her index finger buried in Sage's ribcage.
"Ooh, do you guys want to talk to my cousin?" Harper's eyes lit up. Sage and Alessa shared a glance.
"I can see no reason why we should not."
"Yeah, okay!"
The screen that sat on the desk beside where the three of them had been playing poker lit up, displaying the smiling face of a young man. He appeared to be perched on the edge of the seat in the Captain's quarters on a starship.
"Captain Moore." Harper nodded at the screen, barely concealing a smile.
"Hey, May-Day." The young man, Captain Robert Moore of the USS Surprise, smiled at his cousin.
"May-Day?" Sage asked Harper with a frown, then introduced herself to the Captain. "Excuse me, Captain. I'm Doctor Sage. I work alongside Commander Harper."
"Oh, right! You're the one that gave my little cousin all those bruises on her arm in a poke-war. And please, here I'm just Robbie." Captain Moore smirked. "That nickname is from when we were younger. She was so accident-prone, I always had to cry 'mayday, mayday!'. It just kinda stuck."
"Well, it seems nothing really changed." Sage replied. She was rewarded with an elbow to the side.
"And you must be Alessa. It's a pleasure to meet you." Captain Moore held his right hand up, palm out, middle finger and ring ringer forming a 'v'.
"I appreciate the gesture, Captain. May you live long and prosper." Alessa returned the Vulcan handsign. She would've been smiling, except for the whole 'being full-blooded Vulcan'.
The four Starfleet officers talked for a little while longer, discussing everything that had been going on since the USS Enterprise was assigned the 5-year mission. They had only just begun, so of course they were still within range of the Surprise, which was on a routine mission near Starbase 16, about one thousand parsecs from the Organian Treaty Zone. Harper was a little worried about his proximity to Klingon space, but Captain Moore assured her he was just dropping off some much-needed supplies to the starbase.
Eventually, Sage was summoned away from the conversation. She was needed in Sick Bay.
The atmosphere on the Bridge was less electric after the first sixteen hours on their 5-year mission. At first, it had been buzzing with excited chatter. At least it was a little quieter.
Captain Kirk was about to return to his quarters to get some much-needed rest. After dying and coming back, he had a kind of resistance to the idea of sleep, so he was planning to spend the time playing chess with the ship's computer.
After double-checking with everyone that everything was ship-shape, he turned to leave the Bridge. A firm hand on his shoulder stopped him in his tracks, and Kirk sagged.
"Yes, Spock?" The Captain sighed, turning to face his First Officer. The half-Vulcan watched his friend with concern. To someone who didn't know Spock, it merely looked like he was examining his face.
"Captain, I believe you are leaving without the intention of achieving a sleep-state." Spock began. "Let me begin by stating that this is unwise, since you have not slept since we first left Earth-"
"Spock." Kirk interrupted, successfully silencing the Vulcan. He glanced up into his friend's eyes. "I'm fine."
Spock opened his mouth to continue, but Kirk stopped him yet again.
"I'm fine." The Captain reassured him. Finally, Spock looked ready to let him go.
And then a man appeared behind Kirk with a smile and a wave.
"Hi!" The man chirped brightly. "I'm here to oversee everything."
If you read the summary, you know what's about to go down. For that 0.001% of you that don't know, I won't spoil it. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! I hope to see you all in the next chapter..!
