". . . And it will take two weeks to reach the anomaly." Spock finished, with everyone in attendance.

"When we are beamed into our reality, are you sure we are not going to appear in the freezing ocean?" Urban asked.

"Affirmative, I landed on set," Spock replied.

"And what are you going to do with the ship?"

Spock looked over toward the Klingon then to the group.

"We will destroy it and give them their honor." Spock said.

"That is murder!" Zoe said. "There is nothing honorable about that."

"I do not want my house to be stained by dishonor of being a survivor to a crash that has no honor," The Klingon said. "To you, it is like someone spitting on your grave before you were buried into it and then spitting in your coffin. The captain will understand. I will launch the attack first and then, and only then, can I be granted access to Sto-vo-kor and doing so in the names of my crew, granting them permission to enter with me."

"This still does not feel right," Pine said. "It is illogical. Why don't you just allow them to send you home?"

"The only thing a Klingon fears is being shamed," Urban said. "Shame upon their honor and houses is what they avoid all together. The ways of Kahless brought them on this narrow, straight, but really screwed up path that makes them antagonists to the federation half of the time."

Everyone looked in the direction of Urban.

"Am I the only one who has watched The Next Generation?" Urban said.

"I have only seen the movies," Quinto said. "I was unaware of there being a Kahless."

"Yeah, you are the only one who has." Pine added.

Their attention turned toward Spock.

"The synthesizers have been programmed to produce food native to your home planet," Spock said. He looked over toward Pa'far, Ric'Ingles, the Klingon, and Doctor Klingon. "The Klingons have shared that they can attempt to pilot a ship . . ." Spock turned his head toward the group. "While you are resting."

"And you?" Zoe asked.

"Vulcans can stay up to two weeks." Spock saaid.

Urban snickered, folding his arms.

"Tuvok said that and he fell asleep at the end of the episode," Urban said. "In fact he was born at the beginning of the first five year mission." Spock raised an arched eyebrow at Urban's reply. "Oh, you might meet him someday in a hundred so years."

Spock lowered his arched eyebrow.

"You are meaning to say we went on a second five year mission?" Spock asked.

"I cannot say," Urban said. "Your timeline is likely different from the show."


Back on Earth, the episode was being turned into a movie with much editing and staying up late. Paramount wanted no money to be made off the movie because it was 'made by the fans and not us' which totally made them sound ignorant. Ignorant that their fictional world had a chance of coming to life. The editors were toiling at the title.

There were a couple that made perfect sense.

Star Trek: Reality check

Star Trek: The Voyage

Star Trek:The anomaly.

Star Trek: After beyond.

"Jack, I think 'After beyond' sounds pretty fitting." James said.

"Cause it takes place after beyond, James." Jack said.

"Uh huh," James said. "Everyone has a peak of the movie by that cosplayer's speech."

"That wasn't a cosplayer!" Jack said. "THAT. WAS. SPOCK. DAMN IT!"

"Okay, okay,okay!" James said. "It was Spock."

Jack sighed, leaning back in the chair.

"I can't believe they came across those fucking Vulcans," Jack said. "I mean, one day, one day, we are going to meet them."

"You know aliens do not look like Vulcans. They are short, gray, and have oval eyes." James said.

Jack pressed a button.

"This is Skrawl of Vulcan, state your purpose and reasoning for coming from this sector of the Quadrant. It is illegal to enter the space of Terra and crash land on there on the code of the council 22.08." Skrawl's eyes were full of rage. His neatly combed hair was similar to Spock's, if not, identical. He had a arched eyebrow. "Where did you come from?"

"I am Spock of Vulcan, first officer of the Enterprise, science officer, son of Sarek and Amanda Grayson," Spock explained. "We are heading to a anomaly that diverged us from our universe and we are working to restore our location. My apologies for breaking the council's 'rules' but we have a mission and you will not be in our way unless you want me to meet my Solkar."

"There is no Solkar," Skrawl said. "And you will not pass.'"

"Then I will not be stopped here to create a pointless time loop. If you do not let us pass, I will, in turn, become my second forefather and instigate history. Sixty-three years worth of history. You will, as I predict, meet me again and likely experience regret." Skrawl started to protest 'Vulcans do not feel-' only to be interrupted by Spock with his hand. "It is illogical to stay in my way. As I will recreate my universe. Is it not?"

Skrawl narrowed his eyes toward Spock, his left eyebrow twitching.

"It is illogical." Skrawl said.

Jack pressed pause.

"Vulcans are very different," Jack said. "They protest that they do not show emotion and yet, in this timeline, they do. You saw the green pigment on their faces and how his eyebrow twitched," Jack pointed toward the screen with his index finger. "Irritating a Vulcan might as well be easy to do. You saw how he handled his emotions against Spock. He is likely following a different version of Surak's philosophies."

"Surak who?" James said.

"Good grief. He was the Vulcan's Moses." Jack said.

"He parted the sea?" James asked.

"No, he was . . . a mix like Moses and Jesus, just without the healing." Jack said.

"That . . . that is interesting." James said.

"Uh huh, they are a fascinating species." Jack said, with a nod.

"And how do you know so much?" James asked.

Jack grinned.

"I am a Trekker." Jack said.

"T. . . Trekker?" James said, confused.

Jack's grin faded.

"Don't you watch the show?" Jack asked.

"No." James said.

". . . Heard of Trekkies?" Jack said, warily.

"Yeah, I am a Trekkie!" James said.

Jack rubbed his forehead.

"I will assimilate you into the Trekker fandom after we get this three part movie done, and you are going to thank me later," Jack said, lowering his hand down. "And love it."
