First I would like to thank all of you who read chapter one. I would like to clear up a misunderstanding. In chapter 1 I stated that Will and Deanna's child was a boy named Jean Luc. I was somehow mistaken. It was human error on my part. They have a daughter named Tasha.

To-Phinal Phantasy. Thanks for your review.

PhinalPhantasy: Titan might make a brief appearance. And your second question of who is captaining the Defiant will be answered in short order. ;) lol. Just bare with me and that will be answered this chapter.

I decided that I am only doing the disclaimer on the first chapter of my stories from here on out- just thought I would throw that out their.

Also-The world ship that I mention is the new picture for this story!

This takes place exactly when Picard and most of the bridge crew's alpha shift officers somehow disappeared without a trace, and there is chaos on the bridge of the USS Enterprise 1701-E.

Chapter 2. Will T'Ryssa Miss Her Chance To Shine?!

As blue flashes of light started to appear all over the bridge- people started disappearing from the bridge. Geordi from his bridge engineering station. Commander Data from his post sensor post. As the captain yelled what was thought to be 'red alert,' he disappeared as well as Commander Worf who was manning weapons. Doctor Crusher seemed to have disappeared too.

'What do I do? What do I do?' T'Ryssa Chen asked herself while trying not to panic, but her hands were sweaty, and emotions were flaring as another member of the bridge crew vanished.

She then did something totally unexpected. Especially from herself. She calmly walked over to the command chair, sat down, and pressed the intercom button. As she was the last one on the bridge but her best friend Dina who had taken it upon herself to leave the science station and head to tactical.

"Computer;" The computer then replied.

"Waiting..."

"This is Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen. All of the senior officers except myself and Lieutenant Elfiki have been removed from the Enterprise. I have taken command at zero-seven hundred hours, and fifteen minutes. Authorization code Zeta, Zeta, Four Alpha, Sigma."

"Lieutenant Elfiki, please confirm."

Elfiki after a second of hesitation begins.

"Elfiki, Dina-Lieutenant. Authorization Zeta, Pie, Sigma, Romeo, Sierra , Tango. Tango Sierra. Confirm."

"Command of U.S.S Enterprise command by two officer level crew members of the rank of Lieutenant to T'Ryssa Chen Confirmed."

"This is acting captain T'Ryssa Chen. We are under attack. Red Alert. Battle Stations!" Which started a chain reaction in engineering, security and all other battle departments. Lieutenant Chen stood up quickly looked to Elfiki who had nodded shields were up.

"Activate Temporal Shielding, dimensional shielding, and anything else you can pull. Also see if you can pull us away from whatever this phenomenon is. I know it's not on sensors so use your best judgment. We can not afford to lose anymore people, and we need to learn exactly what the hell is going on here." The she tapped her console again and on ship-wide ordered. "All gamma shift bridge crew, report for duty!"

Despite the confusion of a Lieutenant giving orders, the bridge was soon filled with replacement officers, and they immediately took their station except a Lieutenant Commander from the security division who attempted to take center seat.

Not that Chen necessarily wanted the center seat, but to have it yanked under her as she assumed command was not happening. She was not going to be undermined. That and this arrogant bitch constantly reported her to Commander Worf whenever she could. The Lieutenant Commander tended to shoot first, and not bother to ask questions.

"Not happening Nakamora. You're not in my chain of Command. You are a visiting Security adviser. If you would like to help-Report to the tactical station."

"Excuse me Lieutenant?" Emphasizing rank.

"You heard me. You may outrank me sir, but I am the senior bridge officer. End of discussion."

"No it's not..." said as the ship began to shake almost as if hit by heavy weapons fire.

Chen did not have time for this.

"Report to your station or I will have you removed from my bridge." And without waiting for a reply. "Lieutenant. I need you on sensors. Find out what happened to my officers."

Elfiki replied way of immediately walking to her newly assigned station and began her scans.

"I said this wasn't over. Lieutenant Elfiki was it? Get back to weapons."

Her words fell on deaf ears as the order was ignored, and other officers fell in following Elfiki's example.

Chen tapped on her com badge and ordered security to the bridge. As they arrived they were shocked at who was to be taken. Nakamora ordered them to take her into custody, and Chen countermanded her order.

To avoid strife Chen cleverly asked the computer;

"Computer, who is currently in command of this vessel and for what reason?"

The computer then replied. "Lieutenant T"Ryssa Chen is acting captain of the USS Enterprise. Captain Picard, Commander Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data, Commander LaForge, and Commander Crusher are not aboard the Enterprise and you share the next opening in seniority with Lieutenant Elfiki whom deferred her authority to Lieutenant Chen."

"Now get her off my bridge and confine her to quarters."

Security did as ordered, and was disappointed by the next report she received. The captain and his 'away team' were nowhere in sight. The next piece of troubling news hit her.

"Captain,"

"...is Commander Christine Vale of the Starship Titan, we are under attack...requesting immediate support..."

Not used to hearing it used to refer to for her was slightly slower to respond, but still within a quick period by looking up.

"We are receiving a distress call. It's from the Titan. And this spacial distortion seems to be weakening the further away from it we get. What are your orders?"

After a few seconds consideration 'Captain Chen' made her decision.

"Send a detailed message to Star Fleet Command. Inform them of what happened and that we are going to assist the Titan."

"Aye Sir."

She settled in to the center seat and looked to Chief O'brian who had been knocked unconscious by the last hit by the invisible force. As a normal flight controller was on deck, and she remembered that Mr. O'brian had a family on the ship right now, she looked at the conn officer who was helping O'brian up, and said-

"Lieutenant Decone, please take your post and set a course for the Titan's last known location. Maximum Warp! Mr. O'brian. Report to medical and make sure you're okay, then get to your family. That's an order!" An order he happily accepted, and thanked the acting captain on his way to the turbo lift.

"Course laid in sir."

"Engineering, how are my systems looking?" After a satisfactory reply- "Lieutenant Decone-Engage!"

Titan

"Who the hell are these people?" Vale said as the Titan was once again hit by a barrage of missiles.

"Our weapons have been knocked offline, and our shields are down to thirty-five percent. If we don't find a way to neutralize this enemy, we will not likely survive another barrage." Commander Tuvoc Reported from his station at Tactical.

"The massive monster of a space station?!/Solar system came out of a slip stream portal, but I thought we were the only ones with that technology." Vale pointed out from the captain's seat.

"A ship is coming out of warp. It's the Defiant!" Tuvoc said with almost a hint of Emotional relief.

"Were being hailed." Troi answered from the CONN! (AN: For all those who wondered if I would do that. Lol. You're welcome! lol).

"Stand Down Titan. We'll take it from here. Get started on your repairs." Said the instantly recognizable voice of her former crew member Ro-Laren.

The Defiant swerved around in front of the Titan, intercepting the next barrage of missiles which blew up on the shields. The Defiant used it's thrusters to maneuver around enough so that their forward phaser array was squared against their antagonist.

Aboard the Defiant-

"Put those fires out Mr. Nog. Also-Good to have you back." Referring to a joint mission he was just on with Commander Tuvoc and Tom Riker. (As to whether this is from a book or I made it up... That is for you to figure out. ;) lol).

"Thank you sir. Good to be back." Nog replied as he literally put out a fire before returning to tactical."Where's Chief O'brian when you need him."

After minutes of refused communication attempts, negotiations were over.

"All hands. We seem to be facing our first big bad since the Borg. Seems that even now they are trying to use their ships to drill through our hull. Are we going to sit on our asses and wait for the slaughter?"

"No Sir!" Echoed through the little warship.

"That's what I like to hear. Lock on Photon, and Quantum Torpedoes. Fire into the center-fiery center. See if we can't start a chain reaction and cause some indigestion."

"We have weapons locked and loaded captain."

"Fire!" The female captain called with all of her might!

"I am showing little damage at all sir. If anything I think we just made them angrier," Nog reported.

"Sir!" An ensign the captain meant to learns name.

"Yes Ensign?"

"We have an inbound Starship at high warp."

"Is it Federation?"

"Yes sir. It's coming in to fast to see it's registry, but it's big, and it appears to be very heavily armed."

"My kind of ship!"

Said ship arrives and fires Transphasic Torpedoes at the same spot where the Defiant had fired as it came out of warp. This time however-the massive ship made up of what seemed worlds center star started going nova.

Enterprise Bridge.

"Contact the other ships. Find out their shape." Chen ordered.

The first to answer was the Defiant.

"Thanks Enterprise." Noting the Absence of captain Picard or Commander Worf she immediately looks around the bridge of the Enterprise.

Sensing what the other woman was wondering she quickly replied.

"We'll explain once we are safe. Are you able to jump to warp? Our sensors indicate that this star won't last much longer. Twenty minutes at most."

"Confirmed." Nog added.

"Alright Lieutenant...?"

"Oh. I'm sorry. I'm Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen, and I took command of the Enterprise twenty minutes ago. I will explain once we are out of danger sir."

Titan's XO Christine Vale's almost comedic-like appeared completely disheveled on the screen with her acting XO Deanna Troi standing slightly out of view.

"Sorry. We could hear you, but our outgoing communication is not working so well. Our deep space communication is down for now as well as intra ship. We had to utilize one of the civilian's communication screens just to do this." Vale Explained.

"Well, you look rough Commander."

"Ro? Ro Laren?" Troi ask coming into the screen's area.

"The one in the same. Good to see you counselor." Ro said, not actually knowing if she was still a counselor as she had not really talked to Captain Picard, or now Captain. No that's not right. Admiral Riker of late.

"Not to cut this reunion short sirs, but we need to boogie. Big exploding star." Lieutenant Chen added.

The higher ranked officers didn't like being spoken to like that from a lieutenant, but let it slide as she was one, in fact right, and two, had just come in and saved both of their butts.

"We can only move at low impulse power for right now."

"Then brace yourselves. We'll tow you out of here. Impulse is not going to outrun that thing. Please brace yourselves. This is going to be a bumpy ride." Chen suggested. Then ordered; "Ensign Danvers...lock on to the Titan on their signal. Once they are ready get us as far away from this thing as you can."

"Aye Sir. Course?"

After a second's though. "Project Pathfinder."

"Thanks for the Lift Lieutenant." Vale said with a tinge of amusement. "We're ready."

"Acknowledged. Defiant. Thank you again for your help. I can send my report to you on DS9, or you can get it from StarFleet command as I already sent the message."

"Understood. We'll talk soon Lieutenant, and thanks for saving our butts out there. Defiant out." She closed the channel.

"Tractor Beam locked on. Drawing her in a little closer, and extending our shields." Danvers reported.

"Take us to the pathfinder station ensign. Warp 2. Engage."

They were off with the Defiant veering off, headed back to Deep Space Nine.

What will happen to the Enterprise and her crew. Will she be reunited with her captain. Stay tuned for the next chapter in This AndroTrek next week. Same Trek Time. Same Trek Channel! :)
