Audacity's PoV
Selar felt as the transporter grip caught her and as the Transporter room aboard the Audacity faded to become the Transporter room aboard the "Enterprise." Selar stepped off the Transporting pad, her eyes narrowed.
Before addressing the Captain she turned to the other Vulcan, placing her hand up in a traditional Vulcan greeting. "Def tor heh smusma." She stated. Kirk looked at the doctor and asked "What did she say?" Spock returned the greeting. "Peace and long life."
Turning to his captain he stated "She said 'Live long and Prosper.' In Vulcan of course." The captain nodded and turned to the other Captain. "Hello, Captain Selar. I am Captain James Kirk, this is my Science and First Officer Mr. Spock and my Chief Medical Officer, Leonard McCoy." He introduced them all, a smile upon his face.
"It is our pleasure to meet you, Captain Kirk." Selar began. "I am Captain Selar. This is my First Officer Robert Harrison and our Chief Medicinal Officer Leonard Jameson." She replied.
The Captain of the Enterprise merely nodded as all went on. "It is our pleasure hosting, shall we head for the dinning room." After receiving a nod from her two officers, she too nodded. With that they followed Kirk and his other two officers towards an unknown room aboard the ship.
Once seated, Selar watched as they were served dinner. Her only response a raise of her eyebrow. "This is quite formal, compared to that of which we are accustomed to." She stated truth, this was far more formal than the Audacity ever dared do.
Kirk merely smiled. "I am glad to surprise you, Ms. Selar." Kirk replied, giving her a charming smile. Though was unsurprised when the Vulcan didn't return it. "Sir, Mr. Sean is requesting communication with us for the moment, sir." Mr. Harrison told his Captain, speaking more formally than he ever would normally towards his Captain.
"Very well, if you will excuse me for a moment, Captain." She got to her feet, "Not at all, I will converse with your other two officers while you tend to duty."
Upon her return, she noticed her officer's moods had lightened as had all in the room, they were all actively laughing. Besides Spock. She raised her eyebrow and resumed her place at the opposite head of the table.
"I trust your conversations are going far better than that of which was planned." Selar noted. "Yes, Captain your officers have been so humble to share some stories of the crew and mine to yours." At the sound of this, Selar was smiling inside though didn't say a word.
"Yes, Captain. We figured you would not mind, so we told the Captain about that time when the replicator made a mistake and gave you hot Chocolate instead of tea-" Selar cut him off, "That will be enough, Commander." She stated, her ears growing slightly green at the tips. There had indeed been a mishap and for that day they had one intoxicated Captain.
Dr. McCoy must've seen the green tipped ears of the Vulcan, for his smile brightened smugly, as he pointed it out to Kirk, a slight chuckle in his notation.
"Captain." Selar began seeing to their other conversation had grown long. "We came aboard to speak of a predicament indicating why we are here as you have so happened to demand from us, shall we as humans say 'stop dawdling and get to the point.'" The Captain stated.
"I like this woman. She puts you in your place." McCoy whispered to Kirk. "Shut up bones." James turned to Selar and nodded. "Yes, I suppose we should. So please, enlighten us." He grunted.
"Very well, we had been initially on a mission to discover where the Enterprise had gone as it-" McCoy cut her off, a playful tone upon his voice. "The damn Enterprise is right here." Selar merely looked at him.
"I believe it is considered rude to cut one off if not in a time of which deserves it, now if you will let me continue I will try to make you understand, Doctor." The Doctor scowled wondering if he should take what he said back.
"Anyhow, we were exploring near the last charted position of the Enterprise when we received a Distress call from Ad- I mean Captain Kirk. He stated rather vaguely that an anomaly had occurred.."
After Selar had finished explaining all she knew, expect for the fact that Ambassador Spock and Admiral McCoy were aboard the Audacity, there was silence at the table. It was broken by Spock. "If I am to be correct, this 'anomaly' you explained was a wormhole between two different, alternate universes containing the prime versions of ourselves." He stated.
"To put the matter simply, indeed, Mr. Spock." McCoy and Kirk looked at each other for a moment. "It isn't the first time, for that reason I seem to have found myself believing you. Yet how the hell do you explain this anomaly that simply appeared from no where?" Kirk demanded.
"Unknown, Captain. It is not within our Starfleet's records."
Enterprise PoV
While McCoy was still trying to get over the fact, that there was indeed two of himself, Kirk and Spock were discussing what they had heard from the opposing Captain after they had beamed back to their ship.
"Spock, it makes no sense. Could the alternate Enterprise be here in this Quadrant?" He asked his First Officer, his friend. "It would seem so, for the transmission, of which Captain Selar so kindly gave over to us, does indicate that what Captain Selar was trying to explain is this anomaly. Though I am unsure as to how and why this has occurred." Kirk simply looked at Spock, slightly confused, especially on how he said 'kindly'.
"So, do we help the Audacity or report them to Starfleet command?" He asked. "It would be logical to help them so that no time paradox could happen between our realities, as soon as possible." Spock replied.
"Vulcans and their damn logic, how do we know we can trust them Spock?" McCoy argued.
"Because their Captain is a Vulcan and Vulcans are incapable of lying."
"Spock, just because she is a Vulcan doesn't mean we should automatically trust her. Just like, just because Khan was a human doesn't mean we should have trusted him."
"That is a completely different situation, Doctor."
"No it isn't, Mr. Spock, and you know it."
"If the Captain will allow me, I can to do a mind-meld if necessary. If it means that I can prove to you I am indeed correct."
A bit of a long chapter, I'm starting to get an idea of where I want this story to go. I hope you have enjoyed so far. This is my first story so please be a bit lenient on me. Otherwise, I take ideas for the next chapters!
