Captain Janeway walked onto the bridge, "Good morning. Mr. Kim report."  Everything seems to be running well Captain." 

Captain Janeway took her seat.

 Tuvok looked up from his console, "Captain it appears that something has just beamed into the transporter room." 

"What is it?" 

"It is a human." 

"Mr. Kim scan the area for ships, I want to know where this human came from."

"Aye Captain." 

"Mr. Tuvok, accompany me to the transporter room we are going to get to the bottom of this. Chakotay you have the bridge."

"Yes Captain," Tuvok said as he took out his phaser and exited the bridge with the Captain.   

An extra ensign was holding a phaser on the teen in the transporter room when Janeway and Tuvok walked in.

"Ensign, stand down," Janeway said as she looked at the black teenager on the ground, "Stand up and identify yourself." 

Slowly the teen stood up.  He was wearing pants that were way too big for him and hanging below his butt.  His shirt was also oversized and read FUBU.

"Whoa snap, either I am trippin' off some bad weed or I got shot and this is heaven." 

Janeway starred at him, "I can assure you that this is not heaven, now what is your name?"

"Wait how I know this is not the FBI or something and ya'll ain't trying to trap me?"

"We are not trying to trap you, but we need to know your name and where you came from before we can help you."

The teen looked at Janeway and Tuvok skeptically for a few minutes and then he finally spoke,

"My name is Jaedyn McNeill, I am 18 years old, and I am from L.A., Westside," he held his fingers up in a W.

"Los Angeles…you are from Earth?"

"Yeah where else would I be from, Mars?"

"What year?"

"It's 1999, duh."

Janeway looked at Tuvok.  She hit her communicator, "Janeway to bridge."

Chakotay answered, "Go ahead Captain."

"I want you and all the senior officers to meet me in the conference room, we need to talk."

"Aye Captain."

"Tuvok, show this young man to our guest quarters."

"Yes Captain."

"Hey lady ain't you gonna explain what is going on here?"

Janeway looked at the confused teen, "I assure you Mr. McNeill my crew and I will do everything possible to return you to Los Angeles as soon as possible."

"Aight, dats cool. Yo, Tuvok or whatever why is your ears all pointy like that."

Tuvok and the teen walked out of the transporter room.  Janeway went to the conference room and sat down with everyone while waiting for Tuvok.  Tuvok showed up and Janeway stood up to talk.

"Some how an 18-year-old black teenager from 20th century Earth has appeared on our ship.  I want to know why."

 Chakotay looked confused, "That is impossible we are in the delta quadrant."

"Harry, did you find anything while scanning the area?" Janeway asked hopefully.

"Yes, I think I may be able to explain his presence Captain."

"Go ahead ensign we are listening."

"Well, I found a planet that was Earth exactly.  Apparently someone duplicated Earth here in the delta quadrant and placed it back in time over 300 years."

"Who would do that," Chakotay asked.

"How did Mr. McNeill end up on our ship?" The Captain asked eagerly.

"It seems that on this Earth the predictions of the destruction brought by the year 2000 were true.  The planet was destroyed by a comet.  Mr. McNeill just happened to get stuck in our transporter beam.  We probably saved his life."

"Ensign, are you saying that we are stuck with this kid?"

"Yes Captain."

 Janeway sighed, "All right. Tuvok please bring Mr. McNeill to the conference room and see that he is dressed appropriately."

Tuvok nodded and went out the door. Ten minutes later Jaedyn came busting into the conference room.

"All right, ya'll better start explaining what the hell is going on before I am forced to go black on all you."

Janeway glared at him, "Mr. McNeill please relax, I promise to explain everything to you."

"You better, starting with why I got to wear this dorky uniform and look like ya'll."

B'Elanna looked over and Tom and whispered, "Go black?"

Tom leaned over and whispered back, "It was a term used in the late 20th century meaning…I'm going to kick your ass."

B'Elanna looked at him ridiculously, "That's just lovely."

"You are on the Starship Voyager.  We are 400 years in the future of Earth.  I am the Captain and this is my crew."

"Wait hold up, 400 hundred years…ya'll are crazy right.  Please lord let me wake up from this dream," Jaedyn got down on his knees and started praying.

Tuvok shook his head, "You are being illogical.  This is not a dream we are real. This is your future."

"Ok the pointy eared brother over here is starting to get on my last nerve.  I think ya'll have been watching a little too much Star Trek."

Chakotay looked at Tom, "Star Trek, what is that?"

Tom answered, "It was a TV series about exploration in space…It began in the 1960's and had several follow up series like Star The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and my favorite Voyager."

"Thank you Mr. Paris.  Mr. McNeill, this is no TV show, we are real and so is our mission.  I know that it will be hard for you to adjust to the way we live but you are going to have to, there is no other choice."

"Can't ya'll just send me back home?"

Janeway looked at him sorrowfully, "Your planet was destroyed, and there was nothing we could do."  

Jaedyn sat down, "Ok now this is getting real, everything is gone…the whole planet.  What about my mom?"

Chakotay shook his head, "We are sorry."

Jaedyn stood up, "You are telling me that everything I have ever known is gone and I am the only one left?  I am just supposed to stay here in Star Trek world with all you freaks?  No, there has to be something you missed and I am going to find it."  Jaedyn walked out of the conference room.
