What the hell is going on here? I heard Captain Kirk exclaim. He looked around the bridge, staring at everyone's faces in turn, searching for an answer.
Captain, we are uncertain of what the problem is. I remarked.
I know, I know! I just thought... he paused.
Yes, Captain? What were you thinking? I asked.
Oh, it was nothing. Uhura, the Captain continued, try to contact the U.S.S. Destiny. They might know what is going on.
Uhura gasped. There isn't any ship called the U.S.S. Destiny, or called the U.S.S. Freedom!
What do you mean? Kirk demanded.
They aren't even listed on the ship's data banks! She frowned. Such strange things humans do when they are confused! I don't understand this! I know that they do exist, but I can't find any trace that they ever existed! Uhura continued.
I calmly walked up to her station and looked over her shoulder. Puzzled by my findings, I turned back to the Captain and reported, Uhura is correct, Captain. There is no information on the U.S.S Freedom or the U.S.S. Destiny.

The meeting room grew quiet as Kirk sat thinking about the problem. How could they just have disappeared like that? This can't be the work of Klingons, because, like Spock said before, they don't have this kind of technology. I did not know what he was thinking because human facial expressions were a mystery to me.
McCoy said after a long pause, they wouldn't be in the ship's computer if they never existed...
I raised my eyebrows. I don't understand. How could they not exist?
How could you not understand, you overgrown jackrabbit?! It's simple, and I believe that it is quite logical as well! The doctor remarked in the human emotion I believed to be anger. As you know, Caitlin Kit is the Captain of the U.S.S. Freedom, as well as the designer of it and it's sister ship, the U.S.S. Destiny. But what if she decided that she didn't want to go into Starfleet? Then she wouldn't have invented it, and they wouldn't exist!
Bones, you are a genius! Now all we have to do is go into the past and convince her to join Starfleet! The Captain said, his tone full of joy.
I recognized the look on Dr. McCoy's face as shock. How are we going to that?
There is a way! Kirk said, his eyes dancing with excitement.
Isn't that dangerous, though? I mean, that can't be the best answer, can it?
No, it isn't the best idea, but I am assuming, since no one else said anything, that it is the only idea. And with that last comment, he rose and started off towards the Bridge. Care to join me, Spock? I could use your help with the calculations.
