A/N: I'm going back through this story. It does end abruptly (well... more like fizzles out), but there's a really cool bit that happens later to this OC in other stories. Basically, this is background for the character and I like later stuff I wrote of her more. So I totally get it if you want to skip this one and go ahead to a more exciting one that I've written and will hopefully be posting soon.
The red warning lights started flashing all over Engineering.
"Shutdown the warp core!" shouted Geordi LaForge, the chief engineer on board the USS Enterprise D. He worked furiously with his comrades, manually overriding the computer and bringing them out of warp speed. He rushed around his office, shouting commands to the workers grouped around the central table, keying in operations and instructions for the computer. They soon had the situation under control, but no warp drive. "Nice work everyone." Geordi addressed the room as they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr La Forge, what happened?" Captain Picard inquired over communicator from the bridge where they were getting the same red warning lights.
"Something happened to the warp core," Geordi explained as best he could. "No injuries to report. I'm starting a level one diagnostic now." He added feeding the command into the computer. "Until we know what went wrong I'm afraid we've only got impulse power."
"I'm sending Mr Data down to assist you," Picard said. The communique ended.
"Comm-commander L-La Forge?" Lieutenant Barclay stuttered, pointing under the lieutenant commander's desk.
"What is it Lieutenant?" Geordi asked, still keying in numbers. When Barclay didn't respond he looked up, following Barclay's pointing hand to under the desk. A teenage girl lay there. "What the-?" Geordi exclaimed in awe. He leant down to see her closer. "Her clothes..." he murmured, reaching out with a hand and touching her arm. Her eyes snapped open behind glasses as her body jolted. She stared up at La Forge and froze. Her eyes slowly took in the room. Suddenly she gagged, her stomach releasing its contents in a small pool on the floor. Geordi managed to leap back just in time to avoid getting puked on. The world faded to white then black as she fainted back into unconsciousness on the floor. Geordi pressed his communicator.
"Sickbay, request assistance in Engineering," he said. "Captain?"
"Yes Mr La Forge," Picard replied on communicator.
"It seems we have a new visitor."
