CHAPTER ONE: THE BEGININNG

STARDATE: 48315.6 the starship Voyager is at the outpost DS.9 waiting for her mission from Starfleet

Command. Captain Kenneth Lutgen is in his waiting room waiting to hear from his chief of security officer

Tuvok. While waiting Admiral Jennings comes into the waiting room "Captain Lutgen how are things going on

Board?"

" They are going fine however I am fear something happened to Tuvok, it has been 6 days since he was to check

In I am beginning to wonder if he is ok, after all we served together for how long and he has been my guide when

I have needed him."

"Yes I know, that is why I am sending you to talk to my daughter, her name is Stacy Jennings she is at New

Zealand Penal colony, she knows how to fly ships well although I want her to be an observer only, she is still

Doing time for the accident that happened which she is still doing time for, understand?"

"Yes Admiral, I understand and she will be an observer only I promise!"

"Good then Captain I suggest you get on it."

As order Captain Lutgen proceeded down to the shuttle bay and took a shuttle down to the penal colony, he

Went into the commanding officers room and requested to speak to him, the receptionist said hold he will be with

You in a minute Captain" while waiting he was wondering if this was such a good idea, having a criminal on

Board, it was not like if he had enough problems as it is, then the commanding officer of the penal colony came

Out of a room "Captain Lutgen, I was told you would be arriving to speak to one of my inmates?"

"Yes I am, Her name is Stacy Jennings, I am in the understanding she was a pilot at one time?"

"Yes she was, do you know why she is here?"

"No I was told it was classified ans still under investigation!"

"She was responsible for killing three officers in a shuttle accident she denied it at first then told the truth, we still

Do not know why she did that, but I hear that you are here today to offer to come find your security officer who

Was infiltrating the Maquis though!"

"Yes I am I was under the impression hat that was classified to?"

"Well it was, but I do not allow anyone to come marching on this colony thinking they control it so one of my

Officers will escort you to the area in which she is working in, and remember I run this colony not you!"

"Yes sir, I understand!"

"Good day Captain!!"

So as Captain Lutgen proceeded down to where Stacy was he was thinking "Boy what a big mistake I made, I mean

This better not come about and blow up in my face, a shuttle accident great I thought she was the best pilot, oh

Well here we go"

"Stacy, my name is Captain Kenneth C. Lutgen of the federation starship Voyager, I was given permission to

Speak to you about a job we need you to do for the federation!"

"A job, I am already doing a job for the federation what else do you guys want!"

"We need you to guide us through the Bad Lands help us find a Maquis ship that diapered in it. My chief of

Security was on board!"

"Well then maybe it was your chief of security who went missing besides I have never seen a starship that could

Maneuver through the plasma storms, I mean unless you plan on getting ripped to shreds too?"

"Well you have never seen Voyager, of course you will only be considered an observer..."

"An observer, are you kidding me, I am the best pilot you could ever hope to have!"

"Like I said you will be an observer!"

"Ok then what do I get out of all of this?"

" At your next out mate review hearing we give you a good word on how you helped us. So do you want the job?"

"What time do I have ready?"

"I will have a shuttle waiting by to pick you up at 1300hrs, be ready or we leave without you!" On the way back to

The shuttle Captain Lutgen was thinking this might not be as bad as it seems I think I can give her a chance, who

Knows maybe she will redeem herself. Once Captain Lutgen was within visual range of the ship he hailed the ship

And said "Ready the shuttle bay for landing!"

"Ok Captain we are ready for you to land on my mark 3,2,1 mark, engaging the tractor beam see you in a minute,

Voyager out!"

Once aboard the Captain asked for a status report, ands how the ship was doing, he was debriefed on what was

Done since he was gone and that they were ready to leave when the order was given!
