I thought it might be interesting to take a script from the original series and put the next generation crew in the story, tell me what you think.
Captains log Stardate 45814.3. The Enterprise is en route to sector 19658 in order to investigate an unusual reading from the Argus array.
"Report Mr Data" Picard ordered while staring at the view screen at the object they had been sent to investigate.
"It appears to be a Planet, Captain, but there is no record of it in any federation star charts"
"A large part of this sector is still unexplored" Commander Riker added "That would explain why no one knew about it"
"Well we may as well take a look No1. What do your sensors tell you Mr Data?"
Picard watched as the mysterious planet grew on the view screen. At first it didn't strike him as anything remarkable, however years of experience had taught him never to judge a book by its cover.
"The readings are unusual, Captain. My scans show that it is less than seven thousand years old, yet it appears to be an M-class planet"
"M-class?" said Riker, confused "It takes millions of years for a planet to evolve into an M-class."
"There's more sir" Data interrupted "its diameter is only 3,219 kilometres, smaller than the Earths moon, and yet its gravity, mass and atmosphere are comparable to Earth"
"Curiouser and curiouser" Picard said whilst lightly tugging on his tunic "I think an away mission is called for No1, don't you agree?"
"Yes sir, I'll assemble a team"
"Take Lieutenant D'Amato with you, he majored in geology at the academy, his knowledge should come in useful."
"Yes sir. Lieutenant Worf, Ensign Ro, You're with me" Riker then tapped his com badge "Lieutenant D'Amato, report to transporter room 3 for away mission."
OoOoOoO
As Riker entered the transporter room he saw that D'Amato was obviously excited.
"Mr D'Amato, you've been provided with sensor readings on the planet?"
"Yes sir" The young man could hardly contain his enthusiasm "It should make quite a paper for the galactic geographical survey."
"I've no doubt that it will be a very fascinating paper. Prepare for transport."
Riker Positioned himself at the front of the platform as the rest of his away team assumed their places, after a quick glance round he gave the order to energise. Within seconds he felt the familiar tingling sensation as his body began to dematerialise and the room about him began to gently fade away. Everything went as expected, until he saw her. A woman suddenly appeared in front of the platform, he didn't get more than a second to glance at her but she was obviously a very beautiful woman. She seemed to be shouting something and Riker strained to hear her over the humming of the transporter matrix
"NO, YOU MUST NOT GO"
And then he was on the planet.
"COMMANDER"
He turned round quickly at the sound of Worfs voice
"Did you see her?"
For an instance he was relieved that he hadn't imaged her, the look on Ro and D'Amato's faces told him that they had also seen.
"Riker to Enterprise."He called into his com badge, but he got no further as the ground suddenly shook beneath his feet.
