AN: Hey! Well, this is the second chapter in my story, "Star Trek: The New Generation"! In my only review (as of 12/11/02), the person wanted more descriptions. So, the first part of this chapter is going to be character descriptions. Enjoy!
AN Pt. 2: (2/19/05) Haven't updated my story in a while. I'm doing a MAJOR overhaul to the whole thing. Stay tuned for more updates.
Characters:
Name: Captain Michael James
Age: 32
Ship: NCC-1701-F Enterprise
Brief Bio: Captain Michael James was first put in command of the Enterprise-F when his old ship, the Alexior (of which he was First Officer) was severely damaged and the captain was killed. It underwent a major overhaul, and his brothertookcommand. Meanwhile, thetop brassat Starfleet Command believed his performance on the Alexior was excellent, so they put him in command of the Enterprise, since the Alexior was in Space Dock, and Big E needed a captain.
Author's Note on Capt. James: Well, there isn't much to say except for that I was attempting to base Capt. James on my brother.
Name: Captain Matthew James
Age: 27
Ship: NCC-15073 Alexior
Brief Bio: Captain Matthew James, Capt. Michael James' brother, was put in command of the Alexior when he was 25, after theit was finished with it's refitting (see above bio). Matthew was one of the youngest Starfleet officers to be put in charge of a starship.
A.N. on Capt. Matt James: Capt. Matt James was based on myself, and Capt. Mike James was based on my brother.
Name: Captain George Scott
Age: 49
Ship: NCC-25276 Silverlight
Brief Bio: Captain Scott, a descendent of Montgomery Scott of the original Enterprise has been the captain of the Silverlight for 25 years. He joined Starfleet when he was 20 years old, 4 years prior to his command of the Silverlight. He served aboard 3 ships before the Silverlight. He worked as Chief Engineer on the NCC-1604 Warpstar for 7 months, starting in January. He then was moved to the USS Yellowstone as first officer for 14 months. After his great ability was proved onboard the Yellowstone, he was moved to a commanding position onboard a brand new ship, the USS Starfire. Unfortunetly, only after 4 months on the job, the ship was destroyed by a Maquis ambush force. He was one of the only 57 out of 582 survivors. He took a break for a few months until he was offered the command onboard the Silverlight.
A.N. on Capt. Scott: I attempted to base Scott on a semi younger General Revil from the Mobile Suit Gundam TV series.
The ship descriptions will be in the third chapter.
Now, time for the real chapter!
Chapter 2:
"Go to red alert! Now!" Captain Michael James ordered.
The3 Romulan Warbirds that had just decloaked and already had raised their shields and powered their weapons.
"Try hailing them, lieutenant! Find out what they're doing on our side of the NZ! Captain Scott, I suggest you raise shields and power weapons as well, but prep your warp drive. We can't handle this alone, butI might need you to warp out of here and look for Matt, so stand by!" Captain James said.
"Captain! The Romulans are responding!" said the communications officer.
"On screen." Michael replied. The face of a Romulan official appeared on the view screen in front of Michael.
"I am Captain Talamonok of the Imperial Starship Devortas. You are trespassing in Romulan territory. Icommand you toreverse courseand return to Federation space immediately, or prepare to be fired upon."
"I'm sorry for the disturbance, but I must make it clear that you sir, are on the wrong side of the NZ. Therefore, I respectfully orderyou to reverse your course, or we might have a situation on our hands. Either way, we don't have time for this." James retorted.
"Youdareto speak to me, a commander of the Imperial Star Navy? This is an outrage! All ships, prepare to fire! This might be as easy as the other one... End communication!" Talamonok said as his face disappeared off the screen.
"Captain, the Romulans are locking on to Enterprise and Silverlight!" the Tactical officer Dan Zamora reported.
"Prepare to warp! Set course forAlexior's last known location. Scott, follow us. Helm, GET US OUT OF HERE!"ordered Captain James.
Right before the Romulans could fire, the Silverlight and Enterprise-F jumped into warp towards the other end of the neutral zone.
'I just hope we're not to late', Michael thought.
It took about 7 minutes to get to the other side of the Neutral Zone. The sight was not a pretty one. There were scattered pieces of starship wreckage all over the place. The place was a massacre zone.
"I'm sorry Mike, I think we're too late." Captain Scott said.
"No... He... He can't be dead..." said Michael, standing up. But the truth was inevitable. Just as he saidthat, a piece of ship wreckage appeared on the view screen in front of him. It had writing on it; it clearly read, "Alexior". The bridge crew was absolutly silent.
"Matt'...
"Sir?" the comm officer said, breaking the silence.
"Ensign," Captain James said, choking up. "Hail Starfleet Command, priority channel. The Alexiorand all hands... have been lost."
The bridge was once again silent.
The captain sat back down...
