Hi Everybody. So I'm a new trekkie and haven't seen much of the old episodes and thus this story is going to be solely based on my knowledge of the new 2009 and Into Darkness films. Please Read and Review! No flames please.
2248 – August 15 1800 hours
Psssh. The sound of the cryotube being opened filled the room as scientists and doctors held their breath waiting for the results of their experiment. White fog teemed over the sides of the cryotube and fell to the ground. Would the reversal be successful? Or would it result in death?
Dr. Peters closed his eyes hoping to hear the first heartbeat of their almost 300 year old patient. 'Please,' he prayed, 'Let her breathe once more.' Over the years Dr. Peters toiled to find a way to reverse the freezing process that kept the female patient in a seemingly unending dream. He grew fond of his patient, sleeping innocently. What could it be that she was dreaming about that her smile would seem so pure?
Dr. Peters himself did not understand why but felt compelled to revive her, but when his ears failed to detect any heartbeats, his face fell. He was about to resign himself to turning around and walking out when he heard it.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Sir! Dr. Peters! The patient is stirring!" the assistant doctor cried.
Dr. Peters opened his eyes to see the first rise of her chest and the slight eye movements signaling the stirring of the patient. "It's a success! Success!"
A smile spread across Dr. Peters' face as he gazed upon his patient. It was as though his prayers were answered. He knew now at that moment that his work was not for waste.
Watching this event unfold from above the medical deck was Admiral Harrison of Star Fleet. He watched Peters' change in expression and saw the flurry of movements erupting on the medical deck. He felt the slight guilty pang of his consciousness for his deceptions with Peters' and for the further pain he would cause Peters. The patient, Case001, would be separated from Peters as would the others who would be revived if Case001 proved useful.
Admiral Harrison steeled his resolve and heart as he turned from the scene. 'This is all for the future of StarFleet," he chanted to himself over and over again.
2248 – August 18
"You can't possibly mean that! She is my life's work! I WILL NOT simply stand back as you take her away!" yelled Dr. Peters as he slammed his fist down on Admiral Harrison's desk.
"You WILL calm yourself Doctor," the Admiral responded coolly. "Do not act surprised. This is a covert operation and must be handled such. Do not worry. Case001 will be cared for."
"Damn it! That's not the issue at hand is it?! Audrey is still delicate! We've woken her up from 300 years of sleep in a cryotube. She has no friends, no memory! To remove her from the people that she has just formed an emotional bond with could spell catastrophe! We know too little!"
The Admiral straightened himself as he stood from his desk. "I will repeat myself one more time Dr. Peters. Case001 will be removed from your care and transferred to a team of specialists selected from Star Fleet personnel. All collected information will be handed to this team. You and your team will comply with all requests. Once the transfer is complete, you and your team will receive a new project and will be restricted from discussing Case001 with any others. Do you understand?"
Dr. Peters' aged face looked grim as he also straightened himself. The Admiral's face betrayed no emotion and he had made it clear that there was no other alternative. Dr. Peters' could not fight for Audrey any longer. He had postponed this as much as he could, despite it being only a couple of days long.
He knew what would happen to Audrey and only hoped that he was wrong. She was such a sweet child and to see her thrust into the cold emotionless hands of scientists and doctors without anyone to trust was a sight that made him clench his fists. His heart tightened and he felt anger towards the nameless faceless men who would probe and prod her but also towards himself who could not save her from such a fate.
"Do you understand, Dr. Peters?" The Admiral's eyes bore into the eyes of the resigned doctor.
"I… Yes, Admiral. I understand."
"Good." The Admiral nodded curtly and dismissed the doctor. It was the last day Dr. Peters saw Audrey and the last day she would remember him.
Once Dr. Peters had left the room the Admiral contacted another.
"Execute order 43 and bring Christopher Pike to my room."
Audrey would not remember her revival, Dr. Peters, or all that had happened in the last few days.
2255 – September
It was the beginning of classes at the Academy and it was the first time Audrey spent time at the Academy no longer as a cadet but rather a commander. Her recent promotion to commander occurred after her last year aboard the USS Farragut. What operation she participated in and what she did exactly was classified and nobody spare the captain and others above in the command chain knew the details.
To be a commander at the age of 28 was extraordinary, but then again, Audrey was expected to perform in such a manner due to her father.
She was contemplating different topics for her class on xenolinguistics when she arrived at the office. The door swooshed open when she requested access and popped her head in to see the captain getting up from his desk.
"Daddy!" she exclaimed gleefully as she bounced over to the captain and jumped into his arms. "I missed you so much."
He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around the petite but beautiful girl. "Hey, how's my little girl been?"
It had been six months since she last saw her "father" due to a diplomatic mission. Captain Christopher Pike was not Audrey's real father and it was evident enough through their appearances.
Audrey's Asian heritage would be the first thing one would notice with her long sleek dark hair, and her dark round eyes when compared to Christopher Pike's Caucasian face. However, Audrey did not seem wholly Asian. There was something about her that you could never place. She was beautiful and sweet but sometimes almost unnatural.
That was the thought that struck Chris Pike as he stepped back to look into his daughter's face. Beautiful but almost as though someone had made it so and it brought a sad expression over Pike's face.
"Dad… Is everything all right? What's wrong?" she asked peering into her father's face.
'No, but I can never explain it to you for it would break my heart," Pike thought sadly. However the thought was wiped from his mind when he looked at her eyes, full of worry and love. "I just missed you so much. You're getting more beautiful by the day. I'm worried about the day when a young man will sweep you off your feet and take you away from me."
Audrey smiled letting it touch her eyes as she kissed her dad on the cheek. "Don't worry dad. For now, you're the only man in my life. Now let's get some lunch!"
"Okay! Okay! I was getting a little hungry myself," the captain said with light in his eyes as he led his daughter towards the door.
To Audrey, Christopher Pike was a savior. He, according to her memories, adopted her when her parents had abandoned her near a Star Fleet post on an underdeveloped planet. The specifics were always there, but she never forged them to memory because when Christopher Pike became a part of her life, she found love and a place to call home. He filled the lonely void within her and gave her what she never had. For that, she would be eternally grateful.
