Star Trek: Futures presence Written by Retro-Kat.
Backbone of the layout: The 6th NX starship to leave Earths system on her maiden voyage has already ran into anomalies not known or seen before, this story is based on facts from Enterprise and DS9 before Insurrection. It entails the first woman captain of an NX vessel and the fight for survival and trying not to contaminate the past that could evidently alter the future...
Chapter 1: Getting Started...
Captains Spacelog 2201.1 the journey into space has proven difficult the course laid out from the days of Enterprise has opened new areas of exploration. The NX-06 model Freedom, has just been launched and we are on- route to Vulcan too receive our orders and our new science officer and engineer. Our warp 6 engine is beating Enterprise records set this far out into space, we are receiving regular information from Enterprise keeping us up to date with all the events taking place in our galaxy. We will arrive at Vulcan in an hour so until then stop log.
Cargo lane 2 – NX-06 Freedom - 1200
The captain left her quarters and headed out onto the bridge, she had to open all the doors as she went their was a panel on the side of the door to open the two sets of doors leading out onto the bridge. The captain stepped out onto the bridge and faced her bridge officers; she faced the commander sitting at the helm. He was also the ships second in command, he knew how to fly the vessel with ease as he had piloted the NX-02 Endeavour, but was reassigned after a disagreement with the captain. "Jamie how's she handling?" He didn't take his eyes away from the viewscreen ahead of him but replied, "she's handling like a dream, and the warp 6 engine is proving to be far superior to the warp 5 engine." She smiled and then laughed partially, "I should send Archer a log telling him that the warp 6 engine is proving to be an outstanding piece of equipment. It's a shame Enterprise has to stay at stardock to be outfitted with the new engine." But it wouldn't be long before Enterprise would be following them, as they had to come and get T'pol from Vulcan and then the two vessels had to group together and run further tests on the warp 6 engines as they hadn't been fully pushed yet to there limits.
Amelia sat down in the command chair and just watched the stars streak past the viewscreen, this was too surreal she had never been aboard an NX ship before and this was her first command. She had left her husband on Earth behind them, she had only just married a few months ago and had not realised that she was being accepted for captaincy of her own and now she was separated by many lightyears of space from her husband. And with the only subspace relays only to be used for the military it was going to be difficult to communicate, but now she had this crew to look after and one small ship amongst new civilisations and worlds to explore.
It wouldn't be long before they reached their first warp civilisation the Vulcan's as at warp five it was a relatively short journey, compared to the older more outdated Valiant starship. The Vulcans had become more receptive to Humans in the past few years as with the Enterprise doing good work they were allowing Earth to build a few more starfleet ships, she was also enjoying the creation of the United Federation of Planets. It had taken some time to do but now the Vulcans, Humans, Andorians, Tellerites and the Denobuleans were the founders of this new alliance which was benefiting everyone as more technology was being shared adding to the realisations of what Earth could achieve with a little help.
They were heading to Vulcan to pickup two more members of the new crew that had been assembled over the past week or so, the only major change was the new male Vulcan science officer coming aboard and the female chief engineer who had been studying up on the Vulcan starships and the NX starships and next to Trip from Enterprise she was a real genius with the Warp 5 engine. She was now to get the first glance at the newer warp 6 engines, which was making space travel faster and more reliable. Freedom was easily pushing warp 5 the matter and antimatter-mixing chamber was working perfectly and even on the bridge you could hear the soft thrumming of the engines.
Amelia was sitting up straight, arms rested on the armrests and her legs crossed she felt so at home sitting they're in the captain's chair. It was hers and no one was going to be able to take it from her well all except starfleet who wouldn't do it anyway as she was a greatly valued officer and was well prepared to face the threat with the new encountered race the Romulans and the Klingons. Another addition to the ship was the photon torpedoes that had replaced the torpedoes they were more powerful and were proving very effective against races that wished to attack the NX starships.
Today had just been the same as any other as they were taking it slow on the approach to Vulcan, as they would be there a few days while the Vulcans checked the ship and made sure that it was under working order. As with the modifications made to key areas of the ship they wished to view these changes and see if the crew were adapting well to the change. They had entered the Vulcan system over an hour ago but had throttled back out of warp and was proceeding on Impulse making there journey longer than needs be as it was more practical for the majority of the crew who had never been space borne before to give them chance to adapt to the changes in weight and the general darkness of the ship. They had been given a strict course to follow and not deviate from this course as even though the Vulcans were being more co-operative they still were misleading Earth forces as they still felt they were not ready for space travel yet.
