A sudden burst of energy rocked the USS Enterprise and brought Captain Jean- Luc Picard to the bridge from his quarters where he was writing in his personal log. Upon arrival he was met by his first officer, Lt. Commander William Riker. Will pointed to the large screen in the front of the bridge.
"We have just been sideswiped by a temporal displacement anomaly, but so far it appears to have not effected the ship, Sir." Will told him and Jean- Luc nodded.
"Keep me informed, Number One." Jean-Luc said and this time it was Will who nodded. Jean-Luc was about to return to his quarters when Lt. Commander Data stopped him.
"Sir, there is a small shuttlecraft off the starboard port." he said and Jean-Luc ordered it to be on screen. The ship was unlike any they had ever seen before and Data told them that their scanners had detected a life form aboard, humanoid.
Jean-Luc and Will exchanged looks and then the captain said, "Open a channel. This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. Can we help you?"
They waited and a moment later a quivering voice answered.
"Please let me come aboard. I am not feeling very well and I don't have any more food. Please, help me." a young girl's voice floated over the bridge and Jean-Luc looked at Counselor Deanna Troi.
"There is something there that I can't place, but she is very frightened, Sir. I get no sense of malice or purposeful harm. She is very young." Deanna told him and Jean-Luc nodded.
"We will assist you." Jean-Luc said and a sigh of relief was heard from the other end.
"Locking on a tractor beam, Sir. Pulling her in to Shuttle Bay 2." Lt. Worf said from his console and Jean-Luc nodded to Will and Deanna. They followed him to the shuttle bay and waited as the shuttle craft's door opened. A young girl, of maybe 9 years old, appeared and she looked around quickly, eyes wide and very scared. They finally settled on the three waiting for her and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank the Gods, Daddy!" she cried and ran over to throw her arms around Jean-Luc. He stood shock still for a moment and then it registered what she had called him.
"What did you just call me?" Jean-Luc said and pulled the girl off of him. She looked at him with blue-green eyes and shook her head, her dark auburn hair flying. She jumped back and bit her lip.
"I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that. It was just so lonely in there." the girl said and gestured to the craft.
"Number one, check the craft." Jean-Luc said, not taking his eyes off of the child in front of him. Her eyes flew to where Will bounded over to the shuttle and the saw a smile flit across her lips. He could have sworn he heard her say "Uncle Will" but knew that was impossible. Will reappeared alone and said that she was the only one and that there indeed were no more rations. The child looked up at Jean-Luc and brushed a lock of red hair away from her face.
"Inform Mr. Data that he has the bridge and then join me in my quarters." Jean-Luc said and Will nodded. The girl watched with anxious eyes as Will disappeared and walked towards the bridge. After a moment or two, she finally turned to face Jean-Luc and Deanna, who was getting the strangest feelings from the girl.
"I'm very sorry for this Da...Captain. I didn't mean to cause such an uproar." the child apologized and raised her hands in a helpless gesture.
"Why don't you follow me to my quarters? Counselor you too." Jean-Luc said and led the way. The child fell in step behind him and walked next to Deanna. As if it was as natural as breathing, the girl slipped her hand into Deanna's and clung tightly. Deanna looked down at her, but the child didn't seem to notice that she was even holding her hand. When they arrived, Jean-Luc took a seat behind his desk and motioned for the child and Deanna to take the couch facing him. Will appeared a moment later, sitting down next to Deanna on the couch. The girl's eyes flitted from him to her for a brief second, a tiny smile across her lips once more and then she focused again on Captain Picard.
"Let's start with who you are and where you come from." Jean-Luc said and the girl bit her lip. She looked at Deanna and then at the floor, finally taking a deep breath and looking him directly in the eye.
"My name is Deanna Felisa Picard and I am 9 and a half years old. As for where I come from, the easiest way to explain it would be to say from Earth. Only, not the Earth you know. I am from the future, approximately 13 years from now." The girl said and she felt Deanna gasp next to her. The child turned to face her and grinned at the stunned woman.
"I was named after my mother's best friend, but I am usually called Lissa, so there isn't any confusion. I am going to be 10 in a few months. Mom was going to let me have my first really big sleepover." she added the last past in a soft voice, filled with tears. Deanna looked at her and was about to ask where the sadness was coming from when Jean-Luc interrupted her.
"Your last name is..." Jean-Luc began, not understanding this at all.
"Picard. My father is Admiral Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise, which is where I live with him...and my mother." Lissa said and she looked at him and smiled slightly. "I am your daughter, Captain."
