Chapter 6

A/N: Thanks to all the people that have reviewed this story. I'm glad that people like it.

Also, this chapter starts off as a tie into the episode: "Conspiracy". And then it becomes AU again. I hope that people like this chapter.

Let's gets on with the story!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lisa was studying for her exams when she sensed something was off. But it wasn't like Armus, this was different. This was more, what was the word, Galactic. She began to have a dreadful feeling.

This time though, she didn't sense that it was one creature that was the cause, but a cluster of them. They were powerful. And they had invaded the Federation. She had no idea as to why though. She was certain that Captain Picard would find out. At least she hopped that he would.

She watched as the Enterprise deffereted from it's crouse to the oceanic world that was known as: Pacifica. Which was thought to be a jewel in the galaxy. She had been looking forward to visiting the planet.

But now that would have to wait.

She watched as the ship entered orbit around a planet that she had never seen before in her life. She felt three people on the planet: Two humans and one Bolian. She was certain that they were commanding officers. She looked at the other ships that were in orbit around the planet. One was an ambassador class ship. The other two she didn't recognize at all.

She waited with anxiety as she felt Captain Picard beam down to the planet. He must have been called here, she thought to herself, but for what? She had a feeling that the second question was going to be answered very soon.

She also had the feeling that they weren't going to like it. She sighed and returned to her work. She was studying for her entrance exams into Starfleet. She looked up at her chronometer and frowned. Collin was supposed to meet her, and he was late again.

This is the last time that I offer to help him, she thought to herself bitterly.

Her studying was interrupted by the screams of hundreds. She looked up from her desk, to her surprise; the ship was at warp again. But they were heading towards the source of the screams that she had heard.

We're not going to make it, she thought painfully, it's too late.
Less then a second later, she saw wreckage float passed the ship. From the looks of it, it had been the Ambassador Class ship that she had seen orbiting the planet. And gathering from the saddeness that she felt from Captain Picard, he had lost someone who was close to him.

A friend. A close friend.

She felt her heart go out to the Captain; she knew what it felt like to lose someone that you are close to. Including her mother, Laura Riker.

Laura had been a scientist when she met Lisa's father. They had dated for six months before they had gotten married. A year later, her brother: Thomas was born. She was born three years later. Her sister, Theresa, was born just after her parents transferred to the Hood, where her father was serving. A later, Sam was born.

Six months after Sam was born, Laura and Will were on a away team on what turned out to be a volatile planet. The away team was ambushed and hurt many people, including her, were hurt in the attack. She died just after she was beamed into sick bay. Lisa just stood and watched as her father cried.

But this was no time to think about the past, she had other things to worry about. She looked out of the window as she felt the ship go into warp again. This time they were heading for Earth. She didn't need to ask the computer, it was only the next logical step.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lisa wasn't in the transporter room when Admiral Quinn beamed on board. She didn't need to be in the same room with him to know that he was a different man then the last time that she had seen him, which was few short months ago.

He felt different. She didn't know why, but she could sense it. Something was off about the man. She could sense worry from the Captain. And confusion from her father. To him, Quinn hadn't changed that much. But, of crouse, he hadn't known the admiral as long as the Captain did.

She sensed that both of her father and the Captain were in great danger if they stayed any longer. She wanted to warn the Captain as she sensed him beam down to the Planet. She knew that he was heading into a trap.

And she was fairly certain that her father was in another one. She hopped that he could figure it out though before it was too late.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

She was working in sick bay when she sensed that something very bad was happening in the admiral's quarters. She dropped what she was working on and ran out of the room, fearful that it was her father.

When she got there, to her horror, her father was on the floor, glass was shattered all around him. He wasn't moving, but he was breathing, at least as far as she could tell.

The being that had taken the body of the Admiral turned to look at her, "He…. Fell," he told her, looking concerned.

Lisa glared at the creature. "You're not the Admiral," she said sternly. She felt her eyes well up with anger. Quinn looked at her threateningly. He tried to grab, but before he could do anything, she managed to get away from him, running over to check on her father. To her delight, he was, indeed, still breathing.

Her delight was short lived though, as she sensed that Quinn was coming up from behind her. She turned around to face her opponent. She used her abilities to send him flying into the replicator. She looked back at her father, then back at the creature that was trying to attack her. She hopped that she could keep him busy until helped arrived. When Quinn did grab her, she kicked him, hard. The force of the kick sent him reeling.

She let out a sigh of relief when she heard footsteps approaching, fast. She just had to keep Quinn occupied. She used the last of her abilities to keep up her fight with him, hopping that it would be enough. She was beginning to feel drained, but fought against it. She knew that if she didn't stand up to this threat, then he would be free to harm others.

When she saw Geordie and Worf come bursting through the double doors, she collapsed from exhaustion.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When she came to in sickbay later, Lisa found out two things: One, her father was missing, and two: the admiral was sedated on the main examination table. Dr. Crusher looked like she was trying to study something. But from where she was, Lisa couldn't tell.

She had a good idea though, when she sensed the same feeling from the planet that she had been sensing from Quinn. She began to worry about her father and the Captain again.

Her fears were squashed a moment later, when she "saw" her father and Picard fighting off the creatures, including the mother. When the mother, who had taken the body of Commander Dexter Remmick, died, Lisa sighed heavily. She felt no pity for the creature.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When her dad and the Captain rematerlized on the transporter padd, Lisa was standing at the base of the chamber. When the sparkles faded, she ran up and gave her father a hug that sent him staggering back a couple of places. He returned the hug when he had regained his footing.

"I was so worried about the both of you," she said as the hug broke. "We're fine," her dad told her. "I heard about what you did in the Admiral's quarters," he added a moment later, "and I am very proud of you."

Lisa frowned, "I had hopped that I didn't have to do what I did," she told them honestly. Picard nodded, "It was brave, nonetheless," he told her. She smiled her father's smile, "Thank you sir."

"I'm sorry about the loss of your friend, sir," she told Picard. Picard looked at her, saying only, "Thank you Ms. Riker." He stepped off of the padd and headed for the nearest turbo lift. Riker and Lisa stayed in the chamber for another minute before they headed out.

"Come on," her dad erged a moment later, "Let's go and get something to eat." Together, they stepped off of the padd and headed back to their quarters.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lisa was in the middle of trying to feed Sam when the door chime rang. "COME!" she called, not really looking at the door.

"Hi," Collin said, he sounded like he was out of breath. She looked up at him, ready to let him have it for not being able to meet her when he was supposing to. All of her anger faded though, when she got one look at his face.

It was covered in bruises.

He looked like he had been beaten.

End of Chapter.
