Chapter 2:
Finding the One
The Enterprise arrived at Earth of 2199. "Mr. Data, scan for life-forms." Mr. Data scanned for lifeforms. "Life form counts are inconclusive, Captain." They look around and Mr. Worf got a signal from his tactical station, "Sir, there is a faint signal in the mountainous region." "Mr. Crusher." Wesley stirs the ship to the right. "This signal is intensifying." Data turns in his chair, "The signal is a life-form, human and it is faint." "Mr. Crusher, find a landing area and I'll lead an Away Team to ascertain this. Number One, you have the Bridge." "Aye, sir." "Dr. Crusher, report to Transporter Room 3." "On my way."
Picard and team beam down near where the signal had come from. Data, with tricorder in hand, led the way, "This way, sir." They find a body of a young man. Dr. Crusher kneels down and scans the new patient, "He's alive, but barely." Worf comes from the south and said, "Captain, there is another life-form, a human female, with sever injuries in her torso. No pulse." "It may be too late, Mr. Worf. Beam the deceased to our cargo hold and in a coffin." "Aye, sir." Crusher looked to Picard, "Should we beam him up as well?" "Yes, see if you can raise him." Crusher pushed her combadge, "Crusher to Enterprise, two to beam directly to Sickbay." Crusher and her patient dematerialized. "Mr. Worf, Mr. Data, is it possible to repair this ship?" They looked around and surveyed the damage, "it is possible," Data said, "I'll have Commander LaForge look at it." "Keep me apprised." Picard touched his combadge. "Picard to Bridge, have you found the city?" "Yes, sir. We have coordinates and we detect human life-signs." "Acknowleged. One to beam up."
