USS Enterprise, Edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone

Spock sat in his quarters. He was sitting in the usual darkness, meditating for the last hour, and clearing his thoughts. His meditations were disturbed when he heard Uhura's voice over the intercom saying, "Yellow alert, First Officer and a security team to the bridge."

Spock quickly got up and headed to the bridge. When he got there, he saw Kirk and asked, "What is the situation, Captain?"

"These five beings just beamed onto the bridge," Kirk said, pointing to the five unconscious bodies on the floor. Spock saw that two of them were human. The boy was in a two-piece suit, and had black hair. The bigger man, who Spock speculated was either a guardian, a bodyguard, or the boy's father. The man was shaven, bald and was also in a suit and tie.

The other creatures were harder to classify. Two looked like humans, but were far shorter. One was about three feet tall, with auburn hair, chestnut colored skin, and pointed ears, to Spock's surprise. "Fascinating," was all Spock said before looking at the next intruder.

The creature was about the same height as the female, but hairier. He had brown hair and tan skin. He also had a very peculiar smell.

The last intruder was indeed, strange. It was similar to a human male on its upper side, but was similar to a horse on its lower side. It was somewhat pale skinned, with brown hair.

"Take them to sickbay. I will interrogate when they are awakened," Spock said. The guards quickly got the intruders on stretchers and took them from the bridge.

A few minutes later, Uhura said, "Mr. Spock, one of the intruders is awake."

"Thank you, Commander. Captain, may I go to sickbay?" Spock asked Captain Kirk.

"Of course Spock," was the captain's quick response.

As Spock entered sickbay, Spock heard McCoy yelling, "Would you sit down? The boy is fine for god's sake. Just rest, big guy,"

"No. I must protect my principle," said the large man, firmly. When the man stood up, Spock noticed he was about three inches taller than himself.

"Would you sit down if I brought the boy in here?" McCoy said, with an annoyed edge in his voice.

"That would be much better," the large man said. Then he noticed Spock and said, "Greetings. I am Butler."

"I am Spock. Why are you here, Mr. Butler?" Spock inquired.

"I do not know myself. We were Artemis's room and were blasted by men with laser rifles. Then I woke up here. What are you, sir?" asked Butler.

"I am a Vulcan," Spock said.

"In that case, I would like to see my principle now," Butler said.

"Well, sorry to keep you waiting, but I had to wake him up," McCoy said. He then turned to Spock and whispered, "Damn kid's been annoying me the whole time with questions."

Spock turned to look at the boy. He was about 14 or 15 years old, with black hair and an air of cockiness about him.

"Hello sir, I am Artemis Fowl the II," the boy said.

"I am Captain Spock, First Officer on the USS Enterprise," Spock said.

"Would you please tell me what is going on?" Artemis asked, somewhat impatiently.

"Let us wake your companions first," Spock said. He motioned to McCoy to start waking the patients up. As the C.M.O. walked by, some of them could vaguely hear him mutter something like, "No thanks whatsoever. That green blooded son of a . . . ," as he walked over to the beds.

The first to wake up was Holly, who grabbed for her Neutrino, but found it was missing. "Ok, where the hell am I?" Holly said to no one in particular.

"You are in the sickbay of the USS Enterprise," Spock said, surprising Holly, who had expected Artemis to answer.

About five minutes later, Foaly woke up. After surveying his surroundings, he said, "Really impressive stuff. Either we've traveled to the future, or we're back in Haven in the medical center."

"Foaly, this is a Mudman hospital," Holly said. "I'd say your first guess was right."

"Yes it was, ma'am," Spock said drawing attention to himself.

"Who the hell are you?" Holly asked.

"Captain Spock of the USS Enterprise. I serve as the First officer and Science officer. Let us wake the other, being, before we continue this conversation," Spock said. "Doctor, if you please," he continued before walking off.

After Mulch finally woke up, the group waited for Mr. Spock's return. Sure enough, Spock came back about five minutes later with a somewhat shorter man. He had brown hair and eyes, and a pin on his uniform exactly like Spock's.

"I am Captain James T. Kirk. Who are you, and what are you doing on my ship?" Kirk asked.

"I am Artemis Fowl. This is my bodyguard, Butler, my friend, Captain Holly Short of the LEP, Holly's Partner, Mulch Diggums, and the technical genius of Sector 8, Foaly," Artemis said. "We have absolutely no idea of how we got here, except last we saw before we woke up here was beings like Mr. Spock."

Spock muttered something to Kirk, who had a thoughtful expression on his face. "I guess we could let you have the extra quarters on deck 16. Spock, if you would show our guests the way," Kirk said.

"Yes Captain. Please follow me," Spock said as they walked to the turbolift. As they entered the lift, Spock said, "Computer, deck sixteen."

As the lift started up the shaft, Holly asked, "Mr. Spock, what year is it?"

"The year 2292," Spock replied. The shock on their faces was obvious, on everyone except Fowl. The boy seemed to be a master of masking his emotions.

When they arrived in the crew quarters, they found them comfortable. Mulch was the only person who didn't like them. He kept on complaining that he needed dirt.

"Would you shut up Mulch?!" everyone yelled after five minutes of his jabbering.

"Fine. I'll just wait in the corner for some food," Mulch said.

"Well, what is our plan?" asked Holly.

"For what?" asked Artemis.

"Come on Mudboy. You're supposed to be the genius. What are we planning to do with ourselves here?" Holly asked.

"Well, we should wait to discuss the options with Captain Kirk," Artemis said.

"Then we should get ready to wait a few hours," Foaly said, sitting down on the bed.

A few hours later, Kirk and Spock came in and asked, "What are the five of you planning to do?"

"What are our options, Captain?" Artemis asked.

"Well, we cannot enter time warp at the present time, as the ship's engines can't be put under a lot of stress thanks to our last skirmish with the Romulans, you could enroll in Starfleet Academy, or live on Earth for a while," Kirk said.

"I for one, will join the academy. I cannot adjust to the life of a normal civilian," Artemis said. "What about you, Butler?"

The manservant said, "I will go to the academy also. It is my duty."

Holly said, "I guess going to the Academy wouldn't hurt. I guess if we're staying here for a while, I should know what is here."

"I have a question. Do they have engineering and mechanics there?" asked Foaly.

"Yes. If you would like, Mr. Foaly, we can take you to meet our chief engineer, Montgomery Scott," Spock said.

"Count me in at the Academy. I can't wait to meet your engineer," Foaly said, with a grin on his face.

"What about you, Mister Diggums?" asked Kirk.

"I'll just be a civilian. Can't do much if everything in this spaceship is metal, so I'll settle on Earth," Mulch said.

"We'll set course for Earth as soon as the Saratoga arrives to continue the patrol of the zone, which should take about two hours," Kirk said as he and Spock left.

"We should rest. It's going to be a while," Butler said.


A/N: How was that? Sorry about the long wait, but I've had a serious case of writers block. If any of you have any ideas for the story, PLEASE TELL ME! Enterprise A. ;)
