STAR TREK: V'ger
Course Plotted; V'ger!
Overview After the failed attempt by some nations to establish a counter world-government, those nations that tried and others that were caught in the middle of the political battle of wills joined the United Nations. And so, for the first time in Earth's history, the entire world was now under one government. It wasn't perfect, and it definitely had issues to iron out, but for the most part, the one world government was off to a good start. The office of the United Earth President, the official title of the head of the United Nations, had gone to Harsha Jadhav of India. Jadhav, having been instrumental in resolving long standing issues between India/Pakistan and India/China, was seen as one of the greatest peace brokers in Earth's history. He was also a key player in bringing in many of the rogue countries that had been attracted by the late John Gill's desire to establish a competing world government. The new world government had only been in power for three months when the threat from space, the returning Voyager Probeā¦.
The USS Enterprise had only returned to Earth for six hours before she was sent back out on perhaps its most important mission; to stop the approaching space anomaly that had once been the space probe Voyager-2 from returning to its launch point, Earth. The population of Earth had become worried, and in some cases chaos had caused minimal rioting through-out the world.
But with the return of the Starship Enterprise to Earth and at the behest of their new Vulcan allies, the arrival of a Federation armada to assist as much as possible, calm had set in. Even the Romulans, who descended from humans removed from Earth thousands of years in the past, had sent several of their finest ships to augment the armada. Kirk, Pike, and Sarek as well believed the Romulans were also trying to make a show of force, perhaps a warning of troubles to come between the cousin civilizations; the Romulans and Earthlings.
Colonel Pike's orders were short and simple for Captain Kirk and his crew. They were to ferry Decker and his associate Ilya out to the approaching anomaly and let Decker try to make contact with the probe. For that, Captain Kirk scheduled a detailed briefing with Decker and the senior officers of the USS Enterprise. The briefing would commence two hours upon leaving Earth. Rendezvous with the anomaly would be twenty-seven hours after the briefing.

Decker and Ilya were shown to the quarters they would share. Once they were alone, Decker removed the outdated circuit card he had retrieved from NASA. The archaic diodes were flashing, which was a signal to Decker that the old programs, designed by the man he had been cloned from, Morris Decker, were working perfectly and were already making preliminary contact with whatever was awaiting them at the space anomaly.
"Will it work?" Ilya asked, as Decker sat at a desk inside the quarters and worked on the device.
"Yes," Decker responded. "In fact, it is working now. Once we get there, I will inform the Captain to let us leave the ship in one of their shuttlecrafts to implement the activation code for the Voyager probe."
"Is that what the signal from the probe is asking for?" Ilya asked.
"You could say that in some respects," Decker told her. "Sevrin was in contact for many decades with whatever life form it is that altered Voyager-2's program. But even with that, it still needs the activation code. Once that is given, I believe that is when the entire universe will change and salvation will come."
"And this was all prophesized by Dr. Sevrin," Ilya said, her eyes bulging at the glory of the situation. "And you," Ilya said as she began to massage Decker's neck, "you will usher in a new era of salvation as our savior!"
She slid her hands down his back and around his back and began to intimately massage him. She knew what she was initiating and she wished for it; his anger and his passion. It was her sole purpose for living, indeed the purpose for all women or so at least their sect believed.
He took one of her wrists in his hand and bent it back, twisting in his seat towards her as he did. She began to whimper in pain as he led her to the bed. Knowing that their violent act of love making would be too loud for the ship, he enhanced the room's sound-proofing with a device he had brought with them just for this purpose. The device put out a sound-shield and would allow them both to be as loud as their passion demanded. And more importantly, as violent as Decker would need in order to control his human desires. He watched as she stood by the bed and shed her clothes.
"Take me; my savior," she said as she closed her eyes; knowing full well what would happen next and he slowly removed his own clothes, and the belt around his slacks.

Guinan stood behind her bar, polishing some of the shot glasses, and noticed a familiar face sitting on the other side. It was none other than Nadya Chekov. Guinan surveyed the rest of 10-Forward as well, and noticed the unease from the others, directed at Chekov.
It was now common knowledge the Chekov had become infected with a space parasite when she returned to Mars with the Reliant's crew. The parasite had taken over her mind and at times forced her to do violent acts. One of those acts was the cold blooded murder of two men. But due to the fact that she was under the control of the parasite, all charges were dropped in the matter. The parasite had been removed. But her actions obviously didn't sit well with some of the crew members of the Enterprise or even with Chekov's own family.
Guinan went over to where Chekov was sitting. And as she did, Uhura entered 10-Forward and also came over to where Chekov was and sat down next to her.
"It's good to have you back," Guinan said to Chekov.
The young Russian woman was so naive when she had first come aboard the ship, Guinan thought to herself. Now, with the events that had happened with the parasite and the loss of the man she loved, Gary Mitchell, Chekov seemed to have aged decades in the past year.
"I'm back because I have nowhere else to go," Chekov said to Guinan.
Uhura twisted Chekov's barstool so that they were face to face. Then she placed her arms on Chekov's shoulders.
"Now you look here," Uhura said. "You and I are friends, and there is no way I'm going to let you do this to yourself. If I have to," Uhura said as she looked over Chekov's shoulder and over at the others who were casting looks of doubt at Chekov, "I will go over there and kick the shit out of those bastards."
"No," Chekov said, "that would not be the right thing to do."
"And," Guinan added, "I would have to take the damages out of your salary."
The three women shared a short laugh.
An announcement came over the ship wide communication system.
"This is the Captain," Kirk's voice said.
"God, that man has a sexy voice," Guinan said to the approval of the other two.
"All senior officers please report to briefing room A-3; Kirk out."
Uhura stood to leave, but Chekov didn't.
"Hey, that includes you, biatch," Uhura said in a playful voice.
Chekov couldn't help but break a small, coy smile. Then she stood and joined Uhura and they both headed out of 10-Forward, on their way to the briefing room. But right before leaving, Uhura aimed one last mean stare at the group of officers who had been staring at Chekov with disdain. And then she flipped them off. One of the officers began to stand up to challenge her offensive gesture, but another man held him down.
