"Well Vanellope, welcome to starship Voyager."
"Starship?" I got up and helped Vanellope to her feet. She was a bit taller than Janeway was. Janeway tapped her comm. badge.
"Janeway to Paris,"
"Go ahead Captain,"
"I would like to give our young passenger a tour of the ship, if you wouldn't mind." At that moment Paris was in Holodeck 2, experiencing a romantic dinner with B'Ellana.
"Yes ma'am." He heard the comm. badge beep off. "I have to go give a tour." Paris got up and left a disappointed B'Elanna in the Holodeck. Paris made his way to sick bay. "Who do I have to give the tour to?" A girl, about 17, came out of hiding from behind the operating table.
"Me, sir."
"Right, let's get started shall we?" Paris let the girl go ahead of him. "Before we get this tour started, may I ask what your name is?"
"My name is Vanellope." They walked down a few corridors and came upon the Mess Hall.
"This is the Mess Hall. It's where we eat, and it's where our ship cook, Neelix, cooks for us." Vanellope got a glimpse of Neelix as they walked past it.
"What is he?"
"Who Neelix? I told you, he's our cook."
"I know that, but I mean what is he?"
"Oh, he's a Tellaxian. Tellaxians are aliens." Vanellope got a bit of a shock at hearing that.
"Do you encounter much of these aliens?"
"Oh, yes, we encounter them a lot." She shuddered. They passed by a couple of Holodeck doors.
"These are the Holodecks. You give the intercom some parameters and it can design the look for you. Then when it's ready, you can step in. You can have a go now, if you'd like to."
"Really?" Paris nodded. Vanellope put in the parameters for Sugar Rush Speedway. The computer signalled it was ready for her. She stepped in and she saw the racetrack, the stands, even Diet-Cola Mountain!
"Wow, neat place, what is it?"
"This is Sugar Rush! A doy!"
"Wait, you mean to tell me that you're from a video game?"
"Uh huh." Vanellope ran around and found her kart.
"Wanna race?" Paris complied and went to look for a kart. He went up to the giant castle and ended up at a room with four different kart selections. He chose one and played the mini-game. After he chose everything his kart rolled out and he met Vanellope at the track.
"Computer, activate audience." The audience was activated and there were 14 other racers along with Paris and Vanellope. Paris got down in his kart and got ready to race. The traffic light beeped green and they all shot off the mark. Vanellope was instantly in the lead. Paris was at the back. Way, way at the back. Paris sped up and managed to catch up to Vanellope, she grinned and glitched ahead. This is where she felt at home, racing. They soon ended up in Frosty Land and there was snow everywhere. The holographic racers slipped off and fell. Pretty soon it was only Vanellope and Paris left. Vanellope took a sudden turn to the right and shot into the bonus track level. She went up the track, went off the edge and touched back down. She raced around the other side and came out near the finish line. Paris was just about to cross the finish line but Vanellope crossed it first.
"Hmph! That was fine racing." Paris shook hands with Vanellope and went to walk out of the Holodeck with her but she got stuck.
"Huh?" Paris looked back and saw Vanellope get sucked into a vortex, along with the hologram that she created.
Vanellope screamed as she was sucked in.
On the U.S.S. Challenger …
"Let's run that test again shall we?" Gordi, the captain of the U.S.S. Challenger, was running tests on Data's head, trying to see if it could communicate with the upgraded interface. They ran the test and the whole ship dimmed. "There's still some bugs in it. Gerandi!" Gerandi, the Chief Engineer of the ship, came to his captain's side.
"Yes Captain?"
"Can you please help Commander Data with the interface, there's still some bugs in it."
"Yes sir." The whole ship dimmed again.
"I didn't tell you to run the test again!"
"But sir, I didn't."
"Then what could-" But he was interrupted as a maniacal laughter rang throughout Engineering.
"Oh, Mr. La Forge. You amuse me so." Q appeared.
"Q. What do you want?"
"I want to show you something." Q pointed at the ceiling of Engineering and a vortex appeared. A 17 year old girl fell out.
"Q!" He just looked around, amused. Gordi quickly ran to the girl and told Data to follow him.
"What is she doing here Captain?" Data asked.
"That's what I'd like to know." He took her to sick bay and told the EMH, as the doctor was on shore leave, that this girl had been hurt.
"I believe I've seen this case before."
"How?" Gordi asked.
"On Voyager." The EMH database was a collective one, sort of like the Borg but only more free. That's how the EMH knew about Vanellope being on Voyager and his counterpart on Voyager treating her.
"Ah. That explains it."
"But Captain, this does not explain it"
"Data, listen, just live with it." Data nodded. He sort of understood that.
"So, how do you treat her?"
"I can't treat her because she's a glitch."
"A what!?"
"Captain, a glitch is when something is permanently wrong."
"Thanks Data for that definition. What do you mean you can't treat her?"
"Well, I can't treat her because of her 'condition'. She came out of it by herself the last time."
"Hmm. Thank you. Inform me if there are any changes to her condition please?" The EMH nodded. Gordi and Data went out of the medical bay to encounter something very strange. A weird alien was on the ship. The alien looked like he was wearing a hood but it was, in fact, part of his genetic makeup. It was his skin. Two eyes gleamed out of the 'hood'.
"Hello, who might you be?" Data asked.
"Data, where are our ray guns?"
"On your hip, as usual Captain."
"Ah, Data, please deactivate your emotion chip." Data gave a flick of his head, signalling the emotion chip deactivation.
"I'll ask again, who are you and why are you here?" Data asked the alien again.
"Oh. Are you talking to me?"
"Yes I'm talking to you."
"My name is Zanzibar and I'm a Blackropica. Blackropicas are the dominant species on the planet you've decided to orbit and have your shore leave on."
"Oh, so you're Blackropicas. Well, you learn something new everyday. What do Blackropicas do?"
"Blackropicas have the power to enchant ropes and bind them to things that are spiritual in a sense." Just then the door to the medical bay opened.
"Captain, she's woken up."
I'm accepting OCs now so, please issue them. The U.S.S. Challenger idea I got from a Voyager episode. I think its called Once Upon A Time? I'm not sure. The episode is about Harry Kim developing a quantum slipstream so that the Voyager crew can get home quicker. Something happens and Voyager crash-lands on an icy planet. About 10 years later Harry Kim and Chakotay come back to find the downed Voyager crew. They reactivate the EMH and try to make everything right. I may be doing a side story on the Blackropicas and how they got the Ghostly Trio roped up.
