Tavia: Sorry, you are what we call caught in the line of fire, you were never ment to suffer. to be nice you might want to wait until I have four and then read both of these to avoide frustration.
Caprice: You can go right on ahead and read my dead, enjoy! I know you will revenge on me, you already have with the real McCoy, but what the hey war is war, hehehe
Chapter Three: All that I can see...
All that I see can not be
All that there be I can never see

A white light shown brightly. The man woke up as if from a deep healing sleep.
"Doctor. Healer. Friend. Companion. Confidant. Caregiver"
It was his name, and yet not his name.
"Captain. Leader. Friend. Strength. Power. Sight."
That was Jim. Where the Hell where they. All he could see was light. Light and voices all around him. Was this heaven?
"Logic. Understanding. Passion. Friend. Thought. Word."
"Singer. Beauty. Soul. Compassion. Friend."
"Energy. Fighter. Desire. Laughter. Friend."
" Silent. Reserved. Intense. Traveler. Friend."
What in the name of Sweet Georgia was this!
"Friends you have traveled far. Know now that you can never go back. Know now that this is forever your home. Know now that this is your final resting place. Friends Welcome home."
Wait. This was not right. McCoy struggled to find the others. The crew was there, he could sense it. Yet he could not see them. Everyone was different. Augmented. Upgraded if put into computerized terms. He could sense them, but communicating was hard.
".Doctor."
AHHHHHHHH! Screamed McCoy in his mind. Apparently Spock had found a way to communicate with them by mind meld. How this was possible without touch he didn't know, but McCoy was going to find out if it killed him. His determination to contact the others in his own way strengthened at the thought of spending all eternity with nothing to do but listen to Spock in his head.
".I quite agree Doctor.This will be most unpleasant if we all do not establish some semblance if equilibrium within our own minds.try to communicate in the way that is most natural to you."
All of a sudden McCoy could feel the others. They were still with out the human standard of shape or form, but he could feel them. He bumped his consciousness, or whatever this was, against Spock as a test.
".Yes doctor.that is it.I could understand you better that way.you are much clearer when you are being violent.a trait that humans often exhibit."
McCoy smacked Spock upside where he thought his head should be. The light was clearing now. The others still looked like clouds, there was no permanent shape, but it was getting more bearable. One of the clouds laughed a musical laugh at them.
" Noooow Nooow Booyyyss. Hehehe." The cloud laughed. "Beeehhhaavvveee yyyyooouuuurrrsseellllvvveeeesss."
".Lieutenant Uhura?"
"YYYYEESSS! Mr. SSSPPOOOCCCK! I amm hhheeereee!"
The forms of his friends were taking shape now. McCoy could not check upon the progress of his own materialization, but when he waved what he thought was his own hand, his vision was obscured by smoke. So. He was still a cloud. Apparently he was heaven's late bloomer.
The impressive one of the group was Captain Kirk. Although he had not yet found a way to clearly communicate, his shape was recognizable as the Starship Captain he had once been. No features were on his face, but when he waved his arms, they could see it. The Captain walked through them, personally checking upon the progress of each growing cloud. When he came to McCoy, his head cocked to one side, conveying his amusement.
McCoy kicked him.
".The Captain is much amused at your inability to find your head doctor.he swears that if it wasn't attached.."
McCoy told Spock to tell Jim, and every one else who had funny comments to make, to shove it where the sun don't shine. After a moment the form of Kirk shook with amusement and moved on.
Heaven was going to be interesting.
USS Republic.
"Captain, we are within scanning distance of the anomaly."
"Careful, helmsman, stay within maximum scanning range."
It was an intense situation. They were on the edge. The USS Republic had been given the dreaded job of scanning the anomaly for more scientific records. Being the newest ship off the production line the Republic was the logical choice. Torked engines and tractors and all.
That phrase had been uttered by the Vulcan vice admiral Sunten, replacement for Admiral Nogura. He was Vulcan down to the exenoencyclopedia definition of the race. Right now Natalie wanted to drop all one thousand written volumes of that encyclopedia on his head.
"Logical my ass."
"What was that Captain."
"Nothin."
"Captain..!"
"What is it Lt. Ramiro?"
The Lt. was white as a sheet, and his hands, pointing at the display in front of him were shaking.
"Captain, It.It is the Enterprise!"
"What the Hell!"
"The enterprise! Captain! It is in the anomaly. It is intact."
Captain Fisher went to look for herself. For sure, there it was, The Enterprise.
"Science officer, give me a reading on the ship."
T'Van turned to the science console and said in a cold emotionless voice. "There are no life forms aboard, Captain, the environmental systems are shut down. Everything is dead."
Natalie's expression became downcast and she winced at T'Van's unfortunate choice of words. For a moment she had hoped for an illogical miracle. She shook her head, it was inconceivable.
"Is there anyway we can recover the ship at least?"
"Negative Captain."
Fisher ground her teeth in frustration. Another shout from her helmsman brought her out of her reverie.
"Captain, we are being pulled.."
"Full Reverse Warp Speed!!!," Fisher reacted before the helmsman could finish the sentence. " Cristos! Get us outta here. Run her like the devil."
"What the hell..". "Captain, we are caught in a magnetic field and it is pulling us in."
"Shit Shit Shit Shit..No damn it! T'Van is there any thing we can do?"
The Vulcan turned to her and said, "There is nothing we can do now, Captain, the Anomaly came to close to us while we were scanning the wreak of the Enterprise. We will eventually loose all power and join the Enterprise in her fate. You have killed us all."
Fisher looked back at the screen and the anomaly pulsing bluish green at her, as if laughing at her.
They were finished.
