Unexpected
I was sitting on the bridge we had just finished a routine mission to several of the colonies and everything had gone smoothly, in other words very boring stuff. Captain the monitors are picking up a lightning storm directly ahead, we don't have time to avoid it we are going to go into it. We all fully understood what that would mean we would be hurled into another universe. "Hold on tight everyone this is going to be a bumpy ride." I said trying to remain calm. A blinding light overtook everything making everyone cover their eyes. Then there was a huge lurch and everything went back.
I opened my eyes dazed and everything was fuzzy for a moment. When my vision came back into focus I remembered what happened. I looked around I was lying on a bed in a unrecognizable bedroom there was a bookshelf to my right packed full as well as a nightstand with a lamp on it. I reached over and turned the lamp on. In front of me I saw a desk pushed up against the wall opposite the bed to my left there was a table with various bobbles on it, the room itself was green. Then a door next to the bookshelf opened and a girl probably 23 or so walked in.
"Oh, good you're up. I'm afraid your friends are still all unconscious." She said.
"Hello, um.. Who are you? Where is my crew?" I asked her startled.
"Oh right sorry I'm Elphaba my friends' call me Elphie of they would if I had any. Don't worry about your crew there right in the other room, I gave you and two others your own rooms because you looked worse, I guess I was wrong since you were the first to wake up."
"Ok I'm James Kirk Captain of the USS Enterprise you can call me Jim."
"So you're captain of like a boat?" she asked.
"No, a spaceship." I responded slightly offended
"What, what are you talking about?" she asked clearly confused, oh no I thought.
"What is the star date?" I asked her fearing her reply.
"Star what, it's June 5th 2013" she responded. Oh no I knew it.
"I'm from the future in an alternate reality. We have starships we use to travel through space." I told her.
"Wow, cool, do you want to check on your crew?" she asked taking it surprisingly well.
"Yes, please." I followed her out into a living room area. Laying in various places through the room were: Scotty, Pavel, Nyota and Sulu. "Are they alright?" I asked.
"Their vitals are stable and they should be waking up any minute now." She told me, "Did you want to see the other two?"
"Yes, please" I followed her up a staircase and we reached a kitchen with a dining room and a living room in the same area with some dividing walls. She lead me to a small hallway in the corner of the room with a door on either side she opened the one to the right and led me inside to see my Vulcan First Officer, Spock. "Is he ok?" I asked
"I am fine Captain" Spock responded sitting up.
"Good you're up I thought we might lose you for a while there." Elphie said.
"Who are you? Where is the rest of the crew?" Spock asked.
"I'm Elphaba, call me Elphie. The rest of the crew is down stairs except for the guy in the next room. What's your name?"
"He is Spock. Could we go over there now?"
"Sure" she turned to leave.
"Come on." I said talking to Spock.
She led us to the last room and opened the door to reveal Bones. His eyes flickered open and he sat up.
"What the hell happened?" Bones asked
"I'll leave you to sort that out I suggest you go down stairs to the rest of your crew I'll have dinner ready in a moment." Elphie said ducking out.
"I am a vegan." Spock informed her.
"So am I, I'll make something vegan for the two of us." She said leaving. We headed downstairs to wait for the rest of the crew to wake-up before discussing the issue at hand.
