Star date 1st of march 2226.
The only way I saw my mother, was as a hard working mother, fixed on that one device we call G II. For 75 years we have worked together and have a wonderful relationship. I with my idea's, she with arguments to counter them. and now.it nears completion.
I never had the idea of going anywhere else then here. There is the cave, which I adore, the project and enough attention. Mother has always attention for me when needed. She calls me a wonder child. My IQ far above average. I am a healer, scientist, and companion. Frankly, I do not desire to be anywhere but here. Never the idea of having a mate or children of my own. Never mind all that. She taught me to read, write, the species that live in the universe, downloading new information when needed and thus keeping up with all the changes. She is aging.her once brown/black hair is now tainted with the elegant grey locks.

"Captain.incoming message of Starfleet command." The Klingon spoke with a low voice, characteristic for them. The balding man who's name was Picard seated himself and glared at the screen.
"Put it through Mr. Worf." He spoke with a French accent but with perfect English. The face of an old man appeared as Picard sat more rigid. That was Admiral McCoy.retired, yes.but still.
-Captain Picard.I have a interesting mission son.- The old man heaved a bit. He was 113 years old. "Really.hmm.do in enlighten me.."
-It's about an old crewmate of mine. A certain lieutenant Saavik. She disappeared 75 years ago.well roughly counted. Sarek, Spock, Admiral Sulu, Admiral Chekov, Ambassador Spock and I have been looking ever since.- Picard straightened a bit.hmm...a missing Starfleet member.
"If I may admiral, why does this concern us?" Picard saw the old man sigh. -I am too bloody old, I am a doctor not an eternal being. I need someone to continue the search, I want her back. I am moody, old, was with you when your ship went out for the first time.you ow me.or the name of the ship.hehehehe.- Picard snickered, remembering clearly the history of this living legend.
"Very well admiral. Do you have information that we can use?" -Hell yeah.already send it. You should be having it right.now.- La Forge nodded.
"He is right Captain, all the information is compressed and ready to be used."
-And son? A word of advise? She does not want to be found. Damn Vulcans are a pain when looking for them.- Picard nodded. True. Oh well.
"I will contact you as soon as we have information sir." -You better son, I want to see her before I am thrown in the dirt.-
"Acknowledged.Picard out."
Twenty minutes later all sat in the debriefing room. All being.Selar, Temporarily CMO, La Forge, Chief engineer, Lieutenant Commander Data, , councillor Troy, William Riker, second in command, Mr Worf, security.
All glanced at their captain.
"Well, a search and rescue mission here. I read briefly about this Vulcan woman. Extraordinary but very spirited."
"I have to correct you sir, if I may, she is half Romulan and half Vulcan." Selar stated matter of fact. "Right, there are a few messages that clearly state that she wants to be alone."
"However, we are going to take her back. Observe." Mr. Data stated afterwards, the android rose and started playing the recordings from her past and as last, the messages to the captain and Spock. Offering explanation when needed.
"She looks like a lady with a mission." All glanced at La Forge who glanced around. "She does, look at her eyes."
"Obvious Mr. La Forge. When looking at the dates you can clearly see the grief she endures." Selar stated calm and understanding. Loosing a mate so quick was very hard indeed.
"Correct me if I am wrong Data, Dr. Marcus worked on that secret project, died because he used proto-matter.and the Klingon renegades, then all went back to cure Ambassador Spock again?"
Riker was mystified.
"Correct, a few months later the lieutenant commander decided to leave Vulcan." All thought about that one.
"What could the reason be for her to leave Vulcan." The captain thought out load.
"If I was her, I would try to make the device with matter." Stunned all looked at Deanna Troy.
"Excuse you? that was prohibited." Riker stated matter of fact. "And if I am not mistaken, Vulcans love rules." Selar raised an eyebrow.
"Not necessarily, if the urge is strong enough, she indeed may have been planning that. However, when she did re-create that device, it would be a scientific breakthrough."
"Well, lets start with the beginning. We have the logs that indicate her owning a vessel.." Riker stated.
"Yes, and she blew it up.an explosion like that would be noticed." La Forge added.
"And we do know the direction she went. Roughly that is." The chief engineer became very exited for this 'wild goose chase'.
"Mister La Forge, try to determine all strange anomaly's that happened in the direction she went, maybe we find something, Mr. Data, assist." The captain stated, the two rose and left.
"Doctor Selar, Counsellor Troy, make a character profile, see what you two can dig up from her files." They too nodded and left.
"Riker.do we have another mission?" The second in command shook his head bemused.
"No captain, none, it seemed that the admiral has relieved us from further missions." Picard smirked.
"Very fixed indeed, well number one.let's see if we are able to find that protégé of ambassador Spock.
* * *
"Mother, sensors confirm that there is a planet without life within range. Not transporter range yet." I glanced up. Good. As I had wanted it to be. A planet, no life, soon to be filled with life.
"Excellent. Has G II been properly tuned?" I had to make sure that no errors would mess our invention up.
"Correct. There were no errors. It will be a success mother.." Ah.my always positive thinking daughter. How I bless the day that you were born.
"Okay.now we wait. My calculation indicate that we arrive in 15 hours. Twenty minutes. Time enough to eventually re-calibrate when needed." I saw my daughter make that frown again. She was so convinced that the device would be a success that it was almost infectious. I became victim off goose bumps.
*** A day later.
"Report." All the people sat in the same room again. Selar made the first comment.
"She was pregnant. About six months, we confirmed it after research. However the admiral knew that many years ago. If she was healthy, which she was, she has given life to a child. However no indication of that. She had declined informing the Vulcan register or Star Fleet."
Troy continued.
"She has been raised on a Romulan outpost. Ambassador Spock rescued her when the Romulans abandoned the planet. A failed experiment for Romulan/Vulcan spies. She was at age ten. After been tutored by Spock she enlisted on age 18. After only a few years she climbed up to lieutenant commander. She is resourceful, she had no choice, as a child. Had no of little people she called friends, loyal to Spock, and mainly all the other characteristics of a Vulcan.
She is intelligent, can be very stubborn, and as she was mated very loyal to Dr Marcus. That I saw from the footage which I saw. I believe that she continued her late mate's work. She is cleaver enough, resourceful, but the thing I lack is where she would go. She would choose a place of solitude. I come to that conclusion because she had so little friends.
Most likely a star base in the outskirts of the federation, a place where she can work in solitude."
"I see, well maybe Mr. Data and La Forge can shed a light on that one." Picard began to knew her a bit. Reading her file.
La Forge rose and showed a Star Map. With a red line a path was shown through the universe.
"She embarked a vessel 'The Endeavourer'. We also know that she destroyed it. Data and I looked at her path and discovered a very unusual anomaly. Very faint, almost undetectable. And." he stated proud as a little child. "We also discovered something else. Something that with the radars of years ago would not been seen." He showed a path that was rerouted to a certain point in space.
"Good thing that Admiral McCoy gave us unlimited access for the Genesis project.what you all are witnessing is the first stage of Genesis. An asteroid. In this asteroid was the first stage. I contacted doctor Carol Marcus. She would not speak much about it, stage one was to be in this asteroid, a cave was in it. The Genesis device created a small biotope fit for a lifetime of food and shelter.
Now then, lets see where the asteroid is now." all saw the screen shift to their present location in time.
"Her it is. Now then, lets go back 75 years to determine the strange anomaly. Look at grit two." All did and saw a minute change.
"There she exploded the ship, we calculated it's speed and path. All matched. Now let me make a red dot of the asteroid." He did and all were stunned. It matched on the spot.
"Mr. La Forge, good work. Set course to it's present location, warp 8. I will inform our admiral."
-SHE WHAAAATTTTTT?- Picard thought he would have a heart attach. Fortunately, he didn't.
"It seems that she is either working on the Genesis device, or is just sitting their to elope from all the people."
-No way, I know her, she is fixed. She stated that she had to do something. No Vulcan can go walking about a lone asteroid doing nothing. She is working on that goddamned device.-
"You know her better then I do admiral."
-I do, bet on it that she is working on it.get her, stop her, fast. I don't believe that she would use anti-matter. She would have been long finished by then.-
"I read the reports. A dangerous substance indeed."
-Stop going Vulcan on me mister.fetch her back.-
"Yes sir.Picard out." Picard wondered what would happen if they indeed found her.
***
"Mother, it is time." I glared up from my meditation. That fast? Okay. I rose, putting my clothes straight. Walking to my daughter who made sure all was working.
"And?" "As expected, no errors, all is functioning at 100%." Good, no errors can be made. I, or we, worked our butts off.
"Very well. The planet is in range.transport the G II out and in range of the planet." I saw my daughter walk to a console and through inside transport the device was placed on one of the pads.
"Bring her out." I saw her nod and pushing other buttons. The device disappeared.
"After you mother." We walked to the control centre where I could enable the device. Many computers were working non-stop. I sat down at the most important one. The remote for G II.
"Well David, after all these years, you can finally be at peace. I completed your work together with our daughter." I stated, had too. I cannot push that thing without any word or comment now can I?
"Okay, here we go." I pushed the button and activated a screen. It had cost us three years to make sure it worked.not to mention the time to actually place it.
Savia and I glanced at the wide space before us. The device hanging solemn and alone.
"Savia, bring it in place." I saw her walking to another console and slowly saw the device turn in the desired direction.
"Let's play God." I mused. Hell, David said it himself and actually felt like one too.I pushed the ignite and a blue beam shot at the planet.like.it worked?
Both looked at the planet. No change yet.sensors.nothing.come on.
"Patients mother, the core will be reached soon." Yeah.yeah.come ON.
After two hours I suddenly saw it.a immense red/blue hue.marvellous.I rose at stepped as close as I could to the screen. I could almost touch it.Savia obviously noticed and enlarged the image. Wow.
Now Savia rose as well, wondering about all the different colours. So many.
Two hours later it settled. Reading came in. All kinds of different life forms were created. Leaves, trees, flowers, mountains, rivers, the works. Just as on G1. I almost freaked out. Hugged my daughter who did not object and started wondering one thing..
"When can we go down." Savia shrugged.
"Most likely when all has settled mother. At the current rate." I saw her count.. "Four hours." I pouted. Not fair.so long? Ah well, waited for 75 years.what are a few hours.
"Savia.do what must be done.now." She nodded as she turned to another console. This would be painful.
"Initiating self destruct.one minute countdown." I nodded, good.
one minute later, in a very contained explosion I saw the device go up in a reddish glow. I had created a kind of super shielding to make sure that no harm would be done to the newborn planet. I had too, I had to destroy it to prevent death and destruction. I had completed what David started, it worked. Now all that could be done is enable patients.

"Sir, a odd reading emitting from the co-ordinates to which we go." Picard raised a eyebrow. "Specify." "It seems.I cannot place it sir." Data was very confused. How could that be? He was an android pre-programmed with all information needed.maybe..He recovered the data from G1. suddenly he turned.
"Sir, she enabled the Genesis device.reading come in 89.0321% accuracy." Picard looked stunned at first, then recovered and rose from his chair.
"Get us their ASP.warp 9, engage..." Picard pointed at the wide space before him. All nodded and went to work.man.
"Time of arrival, 2 hours 16 minutes."
Star date 1st of march 2226.
