'Captains log: stardate 1513.1. The Enterprise's five year voyage of exploration has gotten more...interesting, with the addition of several guests aboard the flagship. First, refuges from a different galaxy: General Anakin Skywalker and his wife, Padme'. Recently, we have also picked up the young orphan, Charlie Evans, who seems to be able to make strange things happen by manipulating matter itself. With these visitors aboard, we are heading to a remote research station to check on Robert crater and his wife, Nancy, a former lover of DR. Mccoy's.'
Captain Kirk finished his log and turned off his recording device. "Report" he ordered. "We have arrived at the planet, captain." Spock said. "I advise we continue immediately with the mission and beam down for the health investigation." Kirk frowned. "Do you really think we should leave the ship with Charlie aboard?" Spock nodded. "The rest of the crew is perfectly capable of watching the ship, captain. In addition, General Skywalker is watching him with a particular interest." Kirk nodded and then sighed. "I suppose you're right. Inform Mccoy and Skywalker that we are beaming down."
Soon Spock and Kirk were meet by Mccoy and Padme' in the transporter room. "I request to accompany you to the planet captain. As wonderful is you're ship is, I would like to set foot on firm ground again." Kirk smiled. "Certainly. It would be foolish of me to deny the request of a galactic senator." The four of them, plus the security guards by the names of Leslie and Ricky, set foot on the transporter pad and were beamed down.
Meanwhile, Anakin and Charlie were training in the rec room. Charlie was good, but Anakin's Jedi training was superior and he had won every round so far. As Charlie went down for a sixth time, a nearby security chief couldn't help but laugh at him. Enraged, Charlie leaped to his feet and with a single stare, the security chief vanished. Anakin's hand leaped to his belt for his Lightsbaer, before remembering it was still under repair. Before Anakin or anyone else could stop him, Charlie stalked furiously out of the room. Anakin sighed. He was hoping that Charlies powers were force abilities, but what Charlie had done did not resemble the force in the slightest as far as he knew. Whatever Charlie was, it wasn't a force sensitive and it was dangerous.
With a golden glowing light, The landing party appeared on the surface. The five starfleet officers and senator made there way to the research base, were they found the large archeological team they were expecting was just Nancy and Robert crater, with both of them unwilling to offer an explanation. Nancy and the two security guards left the base, while Mccoy carried out the medical examination. Eventually, bored, Padme' left the base as well, looking around for Nancy, hoping to talk to her. Before she could however, there was an ear splitting scream, which caused the people in the base come running.
The five of them made it to a ruined tower in the dig, where they found Nancy looking horrified at the Ricky's corpse. While Mccoy examined the body, Kirk tried to comfort Nancy, who was blubbering about leaving Ricky for only a second. Eventually Mccoy delivered his prognoses. The security guard had had all the salt drained out of his body. At this point, Nancy had left to be alone and the other security guard was still missing. Before the others could get worried however, he arrived and was beamed back to the ship with his comrades body. Still looking for Nancy, Padme' gasped in fear as she looked around a corner and found Leslie's body. When the others arrived, there was silence among the group. "If hes here...then who did we beam up to the ship?". All eyes turned to Robert Crater.
Back aboard the Enterprise, Charlie had found Yeoman Rands room, and was requesting interest to the more than slightly annoyed Officer. Finally, Charlie relished his powers on the door and it melted away, allowing Charlie entrance. Rand was about to call security when a deep and stern voice rang out. " Let her be, Charlie." Skywalker was standing in the ruined doorway, a determined look in his eyes. "NO! YOU LEAVE ME ALONE." Charlie shouted back, mentally preparing to erase the troublesome Jedi. "Actually" Anakin said simply. "It is you who will...sleep." Charlies eyes became unfocused and he slumped back against the wall, sliding to the floor snoring loudly. "How did you...?" Rand asked, stunned. "Aren't his mental powers greater than yours?" "Maybe" Anakin said, inspecting the sleeping Charlie. "But his powers are purely telekinetic. He has a weak mind against Jedi tricks, just like normal humans." At this, yeoman Rand raised an eyebrow. "I have heard you tell Padme' that she was resistant to it?' Anakin laughed. "That's just me flirting." You sir" a disgruntled yeoman said. "Are terrible at flirting."
Roberts explanation was brief and to the point, once Spock had convinced him to talk. Nancy had been dead for years, replaced by a shape shifting salt vampire, which Robert had protected for scientific reasons, even as it slaughtered the other archeologists. Quickly beaming back to the Enterprise, the crew and Padme' were able to trap the shape shifter by luring into a contaminant field with a salt block. Meanwhile, Anakin had managed to calm down the reawakened Charlie and offered him the option to began training in the way of the Jedi, to control his emotions. Finally, the salt vampire was sent to the Memory alpha research station and the Enterprise continued its mission of exploration.
