Captain's Log: Stardate 67266.6. With our recent visit to the alternate reality of the crew of the original Enterprise with Captain James T. Kirk, we have asked that both crews join forces in the Vortex once again to counter the threats of the Empire. Meanwhile, Ambassador Spock, who's coming on his 200th birthday, has joined us and now we have two powerful Vulcans with us. Our mission is to visit the inhabitants of the Vortex and see what the Federation can do.
Vortex: the planet Hoth:
"General Solo, please report to the Command Center," The young, brash smuggler and his hairy companion hear a strange sound. "Princess, we have a visitor." The general said. The tech sitting next to him said, "There's something very weak coming through." The golden droid, "Sir, I am fluent in over 6 million forms of communication and this signal is not used by the Alliance; it could be an Imperial code." "It ain't friendly, whatever it is. Come on, Chewie." The two head out to investigate.
Federation Space:
The crews of both Enterprises meet in Ten Forward, the bar-lounge on the Enterprise D. The captains talk as others meet each other for the first time, or get reacquainted. Both Spocks use mind-melds so that the younger one can learn about the Vortex, in preparation for the mission. Data enters the room and speaks to Picard. "Captain." Nodded to the younger Kirk, "Sir, we've reached the coordinates for the Vortex." Picard taps his glass of Chateu Picard and makes an announcement for the whole ship to hear. "Attention, Enterprise crew, this is the Captain. We are returning to the galaxy of the Vortex. Both ships will converge on this world and we hope that whatever happens will be remembered. To all of us, on behalf of the Enterprise crew under my command: Good luck. Picard out." All the people reported to battle stations and there was a ship-wide Yellow Alert. The Enterprise was going in.
The Vortex: Hoth.
Han reported in. ""Fraid there's not much left." Leia asked, "What was it?" "A droid of some kind, I didn't hit it that hard, must have had a self-destruct." "An Imperial probe droid." Han asserted, "It's a good bet the Empire knows we're here." General Reikkan ordered, "We better start the evacuation."
