Chapter 5
"What happened?" McCoy said as he suddenly found himself back aboard the Enterprise. "Mr.Spock, I didn't know you were beaming back," Scotty said coming into the transporter room. He glanced around but didn't see anybody at the controls, "How did you get back?"
"We don't know but all of a sudden we were beaming up," McCoy said before Spock could say anything.
"Mr. Scott are you sure that somebody didn't energize the transporter from somewhere else?" Mr.Spock asked looking at Scotty.
"I don't think you can do it, but someone may have overridden the transporter controls," Mr. Scott said after a moment.
"Why don't you look into that, Mr. Scott?" Spock said as he stepped up to the communicator on the wall. "Spock to bridge."
"Sulu here, "came the reply.
"Mr. Sulu, have we had any luck at leaving orbit yet?" Spock asked.
"We just left orbit, it just all of a sudden released us and now we're on a direct course for starbase three and we can't turn it around."
"Did somebody get the sickbay doors unlocked?" McCoy said also stepping up to the communicator.
"The doors just unlocked doctor," McCoy looked at Spock and left the room.
"That's all Sulu, Spock out," Spock turned off the communicator, and then turned it back on. "Spock to sickbay."
"McCoy here," came a rather depressed reply.
"Was the captain in sickbay doctor?" Spock asked.
"He's not in here Spock, he's gone. Although he might have left sickbay and gone elsewhere."
"I doubt it doctor, because the captain wasn't in the best of shape he wouldn't have left by himself."
"Well then, where is he Spock?" McCoy said starting to get annoyed.
"Mr. Scott, when the malfunction in the transporter happened and beamed us up could it also have beamed people down to the surface before we left orbit?" said Spock again turning his attention to the engineer.
"Aye, it could have," Scotty said turning to the file of transports, "and according to this there was a beaming up and a beaming down before we left orbit. .But I can't get any more information somehow there is a lock on the file."
"Doctor, what little information we have I have come to the conclusion that the captain is no longer aboard this ship, but is down on the planet Tatooine."
"Amanda, they figured us out," Marie said turning to Amanda.
"Oh well, by the time they get back here we'll already be done," said Amanda as she walked up to stand beside Marie who sat at their home computer. "How did you manage to get that picture?" Amanda said motioning towards the screen, which now showed Spock and Scotty leaving the transporter room.
"I downloaded the camera controls into my hairclip before we left," Marie said as she got up and walked over to the wall. She pressed a button and the wall slid up revealing Kirk lying on a bed with medical equipment around him.
"Is he still sleeping Marie?" Marie heard as Amanda walked up behind her.
"He has to sleep until he is recovered, which shouldn't be to much longer. He is of little use to use in his present condition."
"Marie, I think he is waking up." As Amanda spoke Kirk rolled over still half asleep but waking up.
"He can't get to us though, because of the force field."
Amanda suddenly glanced over at the computer, which now showed the Enterprise coming up to starbase 3, "Marie, I suggest you get whatever you have in mind done soon because the Enterprise will be here in three hours."
Marie nodded, "Computer remove force field." The lights that were around Kirk's cell shut off and Marie entered the room followed by their pet droid. Amanda walked over and sat down at the computer to see if she could find anything interesting aboard the Enterprise.
"Mr.Spock, we again have control of the ship," Checkov said after a quick glance at his panel. "Mr.Checkov lay in a course that will take us back to Tatooine, Mr.Sulu warp 5," Spock answered from the captain's chair.
"What do you plan to do when you get there?" said McCoy has he walked up to stand beside the captain's chair.
"We will have to see what our situation is once we get back to the planet, doctor. "Silence then enveloped the bridge as everyone wondered what they would find at Tatooine.
"Marie, what exactly are you doing in there?" Amanda asked, seeing that all she was going to find on the Enterprise was boring. She walked in to the room to stand beside Marie who was looking at Kirk who now had some kind of headgear on.
"I had to cover up his memories, so when the Enterprise comes he won't try to leave," came Amanda's answer as Marie punched some more buttons on the headpiece.
"Are you going to give him the same psychokinetic powers we have?" Amanda said watching Marie press some more buttons.
"Yah, why not?" said Marie as she shot a glance at Amanda.
"I wasn't objecting, I was asking," Amanda said returning the glance. Suddenly Kirk fell back in the bed, which he had been sitting on. "What happened?" Marie heard Amanda say in a rather shocked voice.
"Wouldn't you be tired if you just received a power you were not born with?" Marie said trying to calm her friend.
"Well, I suppose I would," Amanda said returning to the computer to look for something new now that the excitement was over. Before she reached the computer she turned, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Master Deborah is returning today."
Marie turned around with a surprised look on her face, "She's coming back today, oh great, we have got to get Kirk ready to meet her. "Amanda turned and sat down at the computer to watch the Enterprise again.
"Mr.Spock, we are in orbit of Tatooine again," Mr.Sulu said turning around to look at Spock.
"Stay in orbit Mr.Sulu, lieutenant have a security team meet me in the transporter room."
"I'm going with you Spock," McCoy said following Spock to the turbo lift.
"If you wish doctor, you may be of some help this time," Spock said allowing McCoy to follow him.
"Did you find anything interesting to watch Amanda?" Marie said coming out of Kirk's room and closing the wall.
"Not really, but we are going to have company any time soon," Amanda said turning around.
"Marie, Amanda, is any body home?" came a voice from the doorway.
"Oh dear, she's back early. You can come in Deborah," Amanda said shooting a glance at Marie who double-checked to make sure the wall was locked down tight.
Suddenly a form walked into the room, "I thought you would still be dealing with the Enterprise girls."
"We got done what we needed to do and came back, although the Enterprise is in orbit again and a few people are beaming down," Marie said answering the girl's question.
"Why did they return, did they need you that much?" Deborah said stepping inside.
"I hope you warned Kirk about how powerful she is," Amanda whispered to Marie before she continued, "well, they really came back for something of theirs, Deborah."
"And what would that be?" Deborah said looking at both girls.
"This," Marie said stepping over to the wall and pressing the button that slid the wall up. Inside lay Kirk on the bed but Marie had removed the medical equipment.
"And who, may I ask, is he?" Deborah said again looking at both girls.
"The captain of the Enterprise," Marie said in a soft voice.
"You kidnapped the captain of the Enterprise, for what reason."
"He figured out our secret," Amanda said coming to her friends rescue.
"Well then, he has already been given the powers I am guessing, so we shall leave him to deal with his space friends."
Marie gasped, "But Deborah, he just got them."
"Then he can prove he is loyal by at least attacking, and we shall come and save him if necessary."
"Very well, computer remove force field," Marie said turning to the computer.
"Hurry up Marie we have to get out of here, they just caught Kirk's signal."
"Computer wake him up," said Marie as she turned to leave. "Good luck Kirk," she whispered as Deborah transferred her to her house in the sky.
"What happened?" McCoy said as he suddenly found himself back aboard the Enterprise. "Mr.Spock, I didn't know you were beaming back," Scotty said coming into the transporter room. He glanced around but didn't see anybody at the controls, "How did you get back?"
"We don't know but all of a sudden we were beaming up," McCoy said before Spock could say anything.
