Chapter Seven: Inverse Reality:

Author's Note: Another one down! 8D! Thanks for the continued support! Star Trek is not mine but Zorek is!

The first few weeks were extremely uneventful. Then, without explanation, the lights powered down.

Then the chief of engineering's voice came in. "Captain, we are stopping but I don't know why."

"Do you know what happened ensign?" Rivers asked.

"I don't know. It seems everything is functioning properly." Sanders replied.

"Time for a trip down to engineering, number one. Time for us to talk to the chief of engineering and to figure out what went wrong. You meet her once before in briefing. She's the andorian. I'm coming with you."

"Yes ma'am." Zorek replied.

They traveled down to engineering where they were meet by an andorian woman.

"I thought you would come by, captain especially after what happened. I remember you commander. Zorek was it?" She said turning to Zorek.

"Yes, I'm Zorek. And you're Laurel." Zorek replied. "So lieutenant, what seems to be the problem?"

"I'm not sure. The systems all seem to functioning perfectly."

"Well, we better find out what's happening before the life support has the same problem." Rivers worried.

"Woah, what was that?" Laurel asked anxiously.

"What was what?" Rivers asked.

The ship tremored.

"That! That!"

"What's happening?"

"It may be a wormhole. That would also explain the power issues." Zorek thought.

"How can you know that?" Rivers asked.

"I traveled through one before as a uhlan."

"I believe the commander was right. I have too."

"Then how do you two think we should get out?" Rivers asked in a panicked tone.

"Impulse power only and patience and a little bit of maneuvering. I'll take care of the maneuvering part." Laurel said confidently.

"I think I can help. I can update the sensors so we don't crash into anything getting out of the wormhole." Zorek added.

"Olay, then. Do your best."

"Of course, Captain." Laurel said obediently.

Zorek merely nodded his head.

Together they made it through the wormhole.

"Yes, I did it!" Zorek shouted triumphantly as soon as they were through.

Laurel gave him a dirty look.

"I mean we did it." Zorek said slyly.

Laurel gave him a worried look, "Commander, are you feeling alright?"

"What do you mean?" Zorek then followed her eyes to a wound near his heart. He was bleeding rapidly. Green blood was soaking his starfleet uniform.

"Just a scratch." Zorek said faintly before collapsing onto the floor.

"Medical emergency in engineering!"

That was the last words Zorek heard before everything went black.

(Star Trek. Star Trek.)

Zorek awoke in Sick Bay being closely watched by the vulcan, Dr. Selar.

"Great, saved by a vulcan." Zorek said.

"I was only doing what was logical, commander." Selar replied.

"So, I'm only alive because the ship needs me?"

"Basically."

"Great, now I don't have to worry about paying you back because you basically don't care."

Selar raised her eyebrows.

"Thought so."
