This is my first crossover story so please go easy on it when reviewing. This story will deviate from canon, I haven't decided how far yet.
Also the Mass Effect series and Star Trek Online are property of their respective owners.
This story occurs over the timespan of Mass Effect 2 and hopefully Mass Effect 3 also in the Star trek Online year of 2410 after the Iconian War.
TEMPORAL EFFECT CHAPTER 1- The Predator's Approach
Scimitar Class Dreadnought- RRW Arcturus A -En route to Archer System
Commanding Officer's log, Stardate 87425.45, Admiral Demala reporting. The Iconian War is finally over but morale is at an all time low, we lost too many good people during the fight... Now is the time to rebuild and explore which I'll admit is a welcome change. The RRW Arcturus and a small task group have been sent on a to investigate reports of a stable wormhole large enough to allow fleet transit, if Starfleet, KDF and Romulan Republic reports are correct this is the second phenomenon of this type recorded, whether or not the repercussions of it's discovery are as pivotal as the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole remains to be seen.
"Demala, we'll rendezvous with the rest of the task group in the Archer system in about 7 minutes, and also you have a message coming in from Admiral Quinn," the first officer, Subcommander Tovan Khev stated, looking up from his console just left of the Captain's chair.
"I'll take in my ready room, Tovan," the half-Romulan half-Human admiral said sounding stressed.
It had been 2 years since the Elachi with the aid of the Tal-Shiar had invaded the Virinat colony when she was only a security officer, laying waste to the colony and abducting the colonists. Her rapid rise through the ranks was never before seen by the Romulans, she had commanded 6 different warbirds from the old T'Liss class to her current ship, the RRW Arcturus A which was a Scimitar Class one of the few ships not given a Romulan name, built with the standard bridge of most Romulan ships but retaining the Thalaron Generator, it was refitted with various technologies from the Federation including Heavy phaser cannons and Quantum torpedoes as well as Quad phaser cannons that had originally been designed for the Defiant class escort.
Almost collapsing into her chair she answered the message, the face of Fleet Admiral Quinn appeared on the screen, "Admiral Demala, I just received a report from Admiral Kerenek that you're heading out to the Archer System to investigate reports of a stable wormhole emitting chroniton radiation, as we haven't come across a stable wormhole with these factors I would like to send one of our ships with you."
"Understood, may I ask which ship" Demala said as her curiosity peaked.
"The USS Hubble, Intrepid Class, under the command of Captain John Daniels, he led the counter-attack against the Borg in the Vega colony during his training flight after Captain Taggart was killed by unknown aliens, I'll send the full report shortly, Quinn out."
"Admiral, we'll be dropping out of warp in 1 minute," came over the intercom from Chief Helmsman Rokall, a female Romulan with long black hair tied back in a pony tail and brown eyes.
0.25 LY from Archer System- Romulan Taskforce Alpha
The massive warbird dropped out of warp within 200km of the wormhole in front of the other two ships making up the taskforce, consisting of the USS Hubble, and the Vor'cha class battlecruiser IKS D'ktahg, under the command of Captain Kitara of the Klingon Navy.
"Satra, what are sensors picking up?" Demala asked curiously.
"Elevated neutrino emissions, residual traces of antiprotons, chroniton particles, verteron particles and dark energy are appearing throughout the wormhole," Satra noted barely looking up from her console on the left wall of the bridge as the scan results appeared.
"Can we safely travel through?"
"We should be safe, but I do recommend using primary shields."
"Engage shields and hail the Taskforce, Tovan" Demala said standing up and moving forward a couple of paces like a famous captain who commanded two Enterprises often did. "And Tovan, quit looking at my ass" this comment had a few of the Starfleet officers who where recently assigned to the Arcturus on exchange trying a futile attempt at keeping a straight face, while the Romulan and Reman officers just shook their heads slightly with a small grin.
"This is Admiral Demala, all ships are cleared to proceed through the wormhole under Yellow alert conditions. See you on the other side."
