Chapter 2: To Boldly Go Where No NCIS Agent Has Gone Before.
Janeway looked over at the new arrivals, accustomed to the confusion that was included in space-travel and Starfleet in particular, she quickly examined them and saw them carrying weapons. "Intruder alert." She said, out of habit, and as a precaution.
Tuvok and several other security officers drew their phasers and directed them towards Gibbs and his team. Lights started flashing all over the bridge, Gibbs and his team were in a state of utter confusion, Ziva had her weapon in her hands for a moment until she saw the lights and decided to holster it. Janeway noticed the confused looks on their faces and decided to stand down the Intruder Alert. Which made Gibbs and his team feel much better; well, a little better, they were still in this place they had never seen anything like before, surrounded by strange looking people, some of them with unusual facial features, unlike anything they'd seen before.
An uneasy silence followed, until Gibbs said, "Can someone explain how we got here?"
"Where did you come from exactly?" Janeway asked.
"A park." Gibbs answered simply, unsure of what this woman's definition of 'where' was.
"A park? Can you be more specific? Did you come from one of the planets in this region?"
Gibbs looked at her like she was crazy, "What do you mean? As far as I am aware there are no aliens in space, last I heard they didn't find any on Mars. . ."
Janeway was becoming confused, but adjusted her questioning to be more precise, "Which city did you come from, you mentioned Mars, and you look like humans are you from Earth?"
"Look, I don't know what's going on here, but you're asking some pretty strange questions. And I'm not sure that I believe you're even asking them, but then, after what's happened in the last few minutes I'm not even sure what to believe." Gibbs replied.
"Okay. . . Well, seeing as you can't seem to answer where you're from, let's start with who are you?" She was being blunt, but she felt she could be.
"Special Agent Jethro Gibbs, NCIS. And this is my team. Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, Officer Ziva David and Special Agent Timothy McGee." Gibbs replied. 'Finally, a question that makes sense.' He thought.
"NCIS? Isn't that one of those old government organisations on Earth? That were around in the 21st Century?" Tom asked. "They investigated crimes, in the US Navy and Marine Corps; sort of Starfleet's predecessors I guess."
"Thankyou Mr. Paris." Janeway said, finally understanding something of what was going on. "Well, Agent Gibbs, I believe an apology and a welcome is in order. I am Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Starship, Voyager. I'm sorry we startled you, we just didn't expect your arrival. Now, may I ask, where did you come from?"
"From D.C. We were at a crime scene."
"D.C? As in Washington, D.C?" Chakotay said.
"Yes." Gibbs replied simply.
"As in the US, as in Earth? As in home?" Harry piped up.
"Where are we?" Gibbs asked, he was very confused and was getting irritated.
"I just said, you're aboard the Federation Starship, Voyager. How did you get here?" Janeway replied.
Gibbs and everyone else were very confused.
It clicked in Janeway's head that these people must have come into contact with one of the temporal distortions. "What year is it?" She asked Gibbs.
Gibbs looked at her like she was crazy, surely this wasn't the time to be asking that, but he answered nonetheless, "It's 2008."
"2008?" Janeway asked.
"Yeah. . .Is that a problem?" Gibbs asked, still unsure of why she asked him the question in the first place.
"It is, seeing as it's 2377." Janeway said, "And I believe we have just violated the Temporal Prime Directive." She added.
"The what?" Tony asked.
"It's a directive, that was implemented by Starfleet in the late 2260's. The Temporal Prime Directive was put forward as a way 'to prevent a time traveller from interfering in the natural development of a timeline.'" Harry explained, "And one which I believe we have violated. . .several times in this conversation alone."
"Thankyou for that, Mr.Kim." Janeway's tone was a bit sarcastic, but she soon realised that they couldn't exactly undo what had been said, so she'd have to just improvise on what to do. Besides, they were on the other side of the galaxy. How would Starfleet know. . .
