Remembrance
CHAPTER 1: Alpha and Omega
All she could feel was pain. All she could remember was death. In her mind only two things really registered. Make that three. She knew her name. That was something she refused to forget. Things were coming to her now, slower then frozen molasses. She remembered the cool summer breeze, the taste of pure water. She could remember the joy and laughter. She could remember back in school the first mathematical equation she was taught.
There was only one thing she couldn't seem to recall.
People.
She knew there were important people somewhere, anywhere, everywhere. But who?

"Captain Kirk? I've received a distress call from Epsilon Alpha 3."
Jim Kirk swiveled around in his chair to look at the Communications Officer Lt. Nyota Uhura.
Uhura continued. "Starfleet has asked we give them assistance in any way possible."
Kirk sighed, rubbing his temples. He wasn't in the mood for a rescue mission. It seemed pure luck when the Enterprise was the only ship in the same quadrant where help was needed. This wasn't at all the best time for this to happen. The Enterprise was on her way to restock it's own medical supplies, most of which had been depleted in recent missions. And when Bones says depleted, he means like having to ration out things and skimping on almost any kind of medication. That meant when Kirk had a headache, unless it was seriously affecting his command abilities, Bones wasn't able to help him one bit.
Kirk sighed again. "Mr. Sulu, reset or course to the coordinates of Epsilon Alpha 3."

"The whole reason we came is for fun." Max told Chekov.
"I don't tink vatching people sing is fun." Max shushed him by putting one finger to her lips in the age-old sign of silence.
Max was one of the only girls he could really be around and feel stupid when she was right there beside him at helm.
The choir had been arranged by Max, hence why they had come.
She crossed her fingers and smiled.
It was only a rehearsal, but it was important to the entire group. There were a few of Max's friends he could pick out but not many: Shyana, from communications, Micala, from his own department, Marissa, from science and Alison, from engineering. The rest… he couldn't seem to remember their names.
In the middle of the first song, a message from the Captain rang around the empty auditorium, stating that all Alpha shift report the Bridge immediately. Chekov glanced at Max and they both bolted for the door. For now, she was a part of the Alpha Squad. Sulu had requested to be demoted to Beta shift for stress reason backed up by the doctor himself.
They reached the Bridge, now breathless and took their seats.
They were quickly told of the situation on the planet, we're given a communicator, a tricorder, a small med kit, and we're sent down to the transporter room.
"So were here to find and rescue people from wreckage of the of the U.S.S Stallion?" The U.S.S Stallion was a small trading frigate that ran just on the border of the Romulan neutral zone.
"It seems so." Chekov answered. The tricorder in his hands blared as they neared a survivor. Max started rummaging around on the twisted metal, hissing as the cold steel bit into her hands.
"Here!" She cried out when she realized Chekov had strayed away. He ran over to his friend and the injured girl she stood over.
Max felt for a pulse. "She's alive. For now. Call the Enterprise. We need to send her right to sickbay. While Chekov did so, he heard Max mumble to herself, "Heavy chemical and radiation burns, head injury, possible concussion…"
The Enterprise activated the transporter once they locked on the girl, and with a shimmer she disappeared, leaving Chekov and Max to find more people, most of whom they couldn't help.
