Chapter 3:
Morning Breaks
"Captain Picard, to the Bridge please." "On my way, Mr. Worf." Picard exited his quarters and made his way to the Bridge. "Captain, we have a new development. Mr. Blake will fill you in." Picard looked to the engineer. "Report, Mr. Blake." Robert Blake, assigned to LaForge, made his report. "Mr. LaForge and I were looking a sensor logs just after our arrival. It appears that there is one survivor of the massacre." "Do we have identification?" "None at this time." "Mr. LaForge?" Geordi motioned Picard to the monitor, "It appears that this survivor is a hostage, from our infrared scans. At this time, he is on that ship. Data has been listening to bandwith from technology given to us by Deep Space Nine." "Mr. Data, your analysis?" "Processing."
Data found a frequency and put it on the viewers. "Can you fly a TIE fighter?" "I can fly anything." "Who's the second voice?" "Unknown." Geordi announced, "We have infrared satellite, Captain." "On screen, Mr. LaForge." Two hot signatures emanated on the viewscreen. "They appear to be boarding a TIE fighter." "Yes, I see that, Mr. Data. Follow them." Geordi turned his head to his CO, "Captain, they're attempting their escape." Mr. Worf stepped forward, "Orders, Captain?" "Standby, Mr. Worf. Continue scanning." Data, "Aye, sir."
The two pilots make their escape out of the Super Star Destroyer. "Mr. Crusher, pursuit course, 1/3 impulse, continue cloak." "Aye, sir. 1/3 impulse."
"Their circling around and firing shots on the SSD, Captain." "Enhance visual,." Picard ordered "Enhancing visual by factor 50." Picard squinted, "That's a TIE fighter, all right." "Indeed, Captain. New design, and faster speed, by my calculations." Geordi announced, "Sir, they've been hit, massive damage." Worf: "They are heading towards the surface."
Picard moved toward the turbolift. "Mr. Worf, Mr. Data, you're with me. Mr. LaForge, you have the Bridge. Computer, current Jakkuan civilian clothing."
Picard, Worf, and Data take a shuttle to the surface. "We're entering the atmosphere, Captain." "All hands, brace for impact." They make it through. "Find the crash site." "Crash site located." Data looks out, "Sir, it appears the craft went through the sands." Worf: "I'm reading one life sign." "One?" "Yes, sir."
The shuttlepod lands. "Sir, Niima Outpost is directly that way." Worf: "Captain, tracks!" "Follow them. Lead on, Worf." "There." "Go, go!"
The survivor finds water. He sees a girl. A small droid sees the survivor. The girl chases him, traps him, interrogates him. "That jacket. The droid says you stole it. It belonged to his Master."
"It belonged to Poe Dameron. That's his name, right?" The droid sounded an affirmative.
"I helped him escape in the TIE fighter and crash landed near here. Poe didn't make it. I'm sorry." The droid rolled away.
Picard approaches, "Excuse me, but we happened to be walking by and saw the scuffle. Is everything all right?" "Yeah, everything's alright." The girl asked, "So you're with the Resistance?" The survivor got up and said, "Yeah, I'm with the Resistance." He said it again, second time in a whisper. "I've never met a resistance fighter before." "And you?" The girl looked to Picard, "Who are you?" "Oh, we're just travelers. Pay us no mind." The "Resistance" man said, "Apparently the droid is needed by the Resistance, he carries a map to Luke Skywalker." "Luke Skywalker, I thought he was a myth." Just then they see two stormtroopers, "There! Don't let them get away!" Both "fugitives" run. "You can run without holding my hand," the girl said.
They find a place to hide. "Do you see any blasters here?" "They're after us." "Sh!" They hear the whine of the TIE fighters, "Stop taking my hand!" A blast blew them to the ground. "Are you all right?" The man took the girl's hand. "Come on!"
Picard, Worf, and Data run with them. Boy: "We need a pilot!" "We've got one!" Boy: "You?!" The man said, "Do we have transport?" "We'll make to that quadjumper." "The man looked to the side, running, "What about that ship?" "That one's garbage." Just then, the quadjumper burst into flames. "The garbage will do." They run toward the large ship. Picard, Worf, and Data fall in behind. "Captain, I've ordered the shuttle to report back to the Enterprise." "Good, Mr. Data."
The girl said, "Turrent guns down below." "You know how to pilot this thing?" "Yes, but this ship hasn't been used in years."
As they take off, two TIE fighters pursue. The "Resistance" man fires, as the girl pilots. Picard, Data and Worf, settle in the ship. "The turret is locked! It's in the downward position and I can't move it." The girl puts the ship upside down, where the man can destroy the last TIE fighter.
They leave orbit of Jakku and the girl engages autopilot. They meet and are elated at the success. Worf , Picard, and Data meet them. "I don't know you're name." "Finn. What's yours?" "Rey." "And what about you three?" Picard extended his hand, "I'm Picard, this is Data and this is Worf, my first officer." "Where are you from?" "Another galaxy, entirely, my friends."
Coolant alarms sound. "Can you fix it?" "Yes. Hand me that tool"
Data leans toward Picard, "This guy is quite good." "Indeed, Mr. Data."
"I've got to get back to Jakku!" "Back to Jakku?!" Finn protested. "What's over there? You've got family, a boyfriend, a cute boyfriend?" Rey popped her head, defiantly. "None of your business, that's why." Red color surrounded the ship. "Oh, that can't be good." Rey agreed.
