CHAPTER THREE
"Several weeks ago our society detected unusual energy waves coming from our sun. One of our science teams was sent to investigate and as they approached the sun, their ship was suddenly hit by an energy wave and the ship spiraled out of control. The entire ship and crew was lost. Since then no ship has attempted to travel near the sun, however our government has sent several probes to investigate. Each time the probes come close to the sun, they are also shot down by and energy wave. Now our society is on the brink of disaster. The energy waves coming from the sun are getting dangerously close to our planet. We need your help our planet has only days left." Samantha was quite out of breath after her long-winded explanation. A few minutes passed before Jean-Luc said anything. "Why have you come to us for help? You are from another galaxy, which I hope you do realize, is over two million light years away, and even at maximum warp would take us over ten years to get there." Samantha seemingly had fully expected this question and answered with a smile on her face. "Of course we realized that, however there is one other thing I never did tell you. Us travelers, we have the ability to go anywhere we want, all we have to do is think of that place and we are there. But most travelers do not have the ability to move entire objects, nonetheless entire ships. Which is why I was sent to do the job. I am one of the most powerful travelers ever to come into existence. We choose your species because of all the species we have encountered, none have been as helpful and accepting as yours." And it was with that statement Jean-Luc made up his mind. "We will help your species, but first I must meet with my senior staff and make a ship wide announcement."
Will Riker was wondering why the Captain had scheduled another meeting, when they had just had one a few hours ago. But he knew all to well that whatever this meeting was about it would be important. He could read off a two page laundry list of all the things emergency meetings had been about and all of them had been serious matters. Will rounded the corner in the hallway to enter the meeting room and when he entered he saw that he was the last one there. The Captain seeing that he was the last one to arrive immediately began talking. "After today's earlier meeting, Counselor Troi approached me with concerns about our new shipmate, Lt. Samantha Wilder. She sensed that Samantha was not actually human. Well counselor I am pleased to tell you that your senses were indeed correct. Samantha is indeed not human." At these words, a murmur of voices was heard around the table, until the captain's sharp voice was heard. For the remainder of the hour the captain went on to describe the species of the Travelers' and explained their problem and why they needed our help. As Jean-Luc expected it was a unanimous decision to help the Travelers.
