Hey guys, Kit here. I am trying to get this posted before my softball game, so fingers crossed. I forgot to mention, this story was beta'd by DoctorWhovian11 and she also owns Sivik Hespur and Tristian. She also helped me to write all parts involving either or both of them. I own Elise and everything else goes to its respective owners.


Current Day

"So you used to room with Scotty's little sister?"

"Yeah. But they are only half-siblings. And he's her only living family member."

"Now Capn. You know she's me sister. Can you find her now?!" At that moment the door to the 'lift opened and Elise stepped out, typing away on a PADD. "Elise! Where have you been?" Scotty cried.

"What do you mean? I was fixing the warp core like you asked." she replied, her face showing obvious confusion.

"Oh yeah. I forgot. Sorry lassie" he tapped the PADD in her hand, "What are you working on there?"

"What? Oh, just some plans." she replied, snapping the lid closed on the device.

"Excuse me?" A voice sounded from behind Spock. Everyone turned around. A tall girl with blue eyes and rusty brown hair stood there. She had a black belt around the waist of her science officer's uniform, with several testubes, plastic glover, phaser and a communicator on it. A pair of goggles was pushed up on her forehead and she held a tray of smoking green chemicals in her hands.

"Sorry, but I have the samples you asked for Mr. Spock" she said, holding out the tray for Spock to take.

"Why thank you Miss Sivik." Spock replied, taking the tray from her. Sivik nodded and turned to Elise.

"Hey Lis." she said. Elise looked up from her PADD,

"Hi Sivik." she waved and gave a smile. "Are you Head of Chemistry here?"

"Yep. And you know the rule..."

"Don't go in your lab" Elise stated and both girls started laughing.

"So I take it you two know each other?" Kirk asked, although he already knew the answer.

"Yeah, we sat with each other on the shuttle. She decided to tell me her life's story in about seven minutes." Sivik rubbed the back of her neck,

"Sorry, I just felt like ranting nonstop for a few minutes" she replied, Elise grinned.

"So," Kirk said, " Sivik you should get back to analyzing the samples I sent you."

"Of course Captain." Sivik said before turning back to Elise and rolling her eyes.

Flashback

On the Shuttle; Earlier that Day (Elise: 16 years; Tristian: 21 years and Sivik: 23 years)

Elise sat down with a sigh. She pulled the seat straps up over her shoulder and buckled them in the middle. Her bag, which was red for her position, was pushed under the seat. As she looked up, a girl with rusty brown hair sat down beside her.

"Hi" she said, buckling herself in.

"Hey" Elise replied. She reached out her hand, "My name is Elise." The girl shook it,

"Cool. My name is Sivik. Nice to meet you Elise."

-Please make sure you are strapped in. Shuttle 240-Alpha will be leaving for Star Fleet Space Center in two minutes. Thank you.-

"What is your job in the science department?" Elise asked, noticing Sivik's blue shirt.

"Head of Chemistry. What ere you?"

"Lt. Chief of Engineering. Do you know someone named Tristian?"

"Head of Computers? Yeah. She's been on the Enterprise for a little over a year. Special recommendation from Mr. Scott himself. But, I hear you got one as well."

"Yeah." Elise smiled and rubbed the back of her neck, "Oh, what's your last name?"

"Hespur. Sivik Hespur. I'm 23. You?"

"Scott. Elise Scott. I'm 16"

"Scott? As in Montgomery Scott?"

"Yeah."

"Aren't you a little young to be serving on a star ship?"

"Not really. I started st Star Fleet when I was 11. Served on the Farragut when I was 15."

"Why aren't you still there?"

"My family died. Scotty is my only surviving family member. Well, my half-brother." Elise added after seeing Sivik's confused face. "So tell me about yourslef."

About Seven Minutes Later

"And then I came here." Sivik finished.

"That," Elise said "Was the longest rant I have ever heard."

"Thank you." Sivik replied, taking a mock bow. "I do try my hardest." At this point, the shuttle had almost reached Star Fleet Head Quarters. Sivik stared out the window, open mouthed, at the growing station. She pointed at the small dot that was gradually growing.

"That's Star Fleet HQ." She said, obviously excited.

"Yeah." Elise quietly agreed.

Present Day (Elise: 16 years, Tristian: 21 years and Sivik: 23 years)

Sivik grinned and strolled off the bridge. Everyone stood still for a few moments, still trying to process what had just happened. Elise giggled, before re-opening her PADD. She tapped a few keys and cool air came into the bridge as the cooling system was turned on.

"Thanks." Kirk said. At that moment, McCoy burst onto the bridge.

"Jim. There's something you should see. Come with me." Spock, Jim, Scotty and Elise followed him off the bridge and into Sick Bay. On one of the beds was a man dressed in a red shirt. He was laying perfectly still, not even his chest was moving.

"He's dead." McCoy said, speaking for everyone present.

"How did he die?" Kirk asked, "and which department did he work for?"

"He works for engineering." McCoy clarified, "And he died of radiation poisoning."

"So," Scotty guessed, "There's a radiation leak somewhere?"

"Yes. From where this man was found, we assume it is somewhere near the main warp drive. It may be coming from the warp core itself," he paused, "Actually, most likely." Scotty gasped,

"The core is leaking radiation!? That is really bad! Radiation from the core is 100 times more radioactive! Everyone on board could die within a matter of hours, if we don't get the leak closed off. But there is no telling where it is." He put his head in his hands. Elise cleared her throat,

"Actually, I think I have a theory on where it might be." She pulled out her PADD. "I have been going over the plans for the warp core, because I wanted to learn about it. Anyway, there are several weak sections. The one I believe to be leaking is the one closest to the main core." Scotty looked up and grinned. He pulled Elise into a hug.

"Good girl, Lis! You are doing do well!" he turned back to the rest of the group. "Okay. Now that I know where the leak is, Elise and I can go in and fix it. But, we will be more prepared than Mr. Red Shirt over here. We will be wearing radiation suits. We will also carry communicators, and keep in contact at all times." He check the clock on the wall. It read 1:42. "It shouldn't take us more than an hour and a half, so expect us back around 3:12. We'll tell you if we need longer." he grabbed Lis by the arm and tugged her towards the engineering bay.

oO0Oo

Kirk and McCoy stood on the bridge, waiting for Scotty to announce that they were ready to proceed with the mission at hand.

"All clear Jim" came Scotty's muffled voice over the communicator in his hand. "Elise and I are going in." Tristian and Sivik came onto the bridge, worried about their friend.

"Are they going to be okay?" Sivik asked as she pushed her goggles up onto her head.

"Let's hope so." McCoy said, crossing his fingers behind his back. Tristian sighed and twirled the blue tips of her hair nervously between her fingers.

"Okay," came Elise's voice over the comm, "almost done. Just have to seal up-" The comm fell silent.

"Lis!? Lis!? Come in!" McCoy shouted. The crackling sound of Scotty's voice came over the comn. "What the #$%! Who just turned the engines on!?" Kirk moved over to his command chair.

"Kirk to Engineering." The voice of a female engineering officer came over the comm.

"Yes sir?"

" Who am I speaking to?"

"Officer Maria Smithson."

"Who down there turned the engines on?"

"Umm. That would be me sir. Why?"

"Just turn it off!" A moment later, Scotty called again.

" Captain! Send McCoay down here!"

"Why?"

"It's Elise. She's hurt real bad."


Well, that was interesting. I thought I posted this last night but, apparently not. And now my best friend has been badgering me about it all day. Also, this story was basically co-written by DoctorWhovian11 and we were bouncing ideas off each other during gym class. Also, keep your eyes open for a Supernatural fanfiction coming out later today. I know, I know. I should finish other stories first, but whatever. Ciao for now!
