CHAPTER FOUR
Brian had again returned to star base 66 to pick up supplies for his first mission and to receive crew Brian had talked with Admiral Scott and requested some Starfleet people for specific tasks. The crew coming needed a second chance they were difficult to work with and not wanted on Starfleet ships. The crew: Doctor Alice Brooks was very skilled at medicine, she was half Bajorian and half human she had a tendency to get into fights she was put on leave until now for disobeying orders not to treat refugee's form Cardassia; Counselor Dave Hubert was a Batazed he was on leave for breaking the telepathic law of probing another's mind without their consent; Chief Engineer Alicia Marks was on human she was a former Maquis resentce fighter she was on leave for unorthodox ways of engineering and putting her ship in danger these were what Brian had to work with for crew it would take them two weeks to get here.
Wandering around the star base Brian saw someone he recognized his friend form the 21st century but this couldn't be him Brian rushed to his ship and had the computer do a search for Mike Coe it turns out that these were his like million and something great grandchildren the parents split up Mr. Coe married a half human half klingon female and they had Mike who was 1/8th klingon but looked human. Mrs. Coe married a El-Aurian male and they had Steve Coe, there parents encouraged them to meet they were sent ahead on a star ship while there four parents traveled by cargo ship that cargo ship was hit by a plasma storm and destroyed they lived on star base 66 in a type 9A cargo shuttle.
They were in trouble for trying to steal a runabout "This is the last straw" the star base commander said "I'm forced to send you two to a penal colony with a minimum sentence of four years unless someone speaks for you" said the star base commander, just then the a communiqué chimed on the commanders screen she played it and it sad "Commander could you please send my crewmembers to finalize there cargo service contracts this is Captain Brian Wilson of the civilian cargo ship HEAVENS CHARM "ah yes I remember you, very well I'll send them with a security escort" the Commander said "Cargo contracts" she said raising an eyebrow "...um we forgot to tell you that" they said "if this Captain doesn't want you your mine, your dam lucky he called now go see what he has to say" the Commander barked. "I've been researching you two you may be surprised to know that I was friends with your 21st century grandfathers, long story short I'm here you need help and I need friends in this time" Brian said "were nothing like them" Mike said "yes you are you stick together and you trust I'm telling the truth" Brian said.
"But if you don't want to come have freedom, see space, have separate rooms, and a friend then you can go to a penal camp and rot" Brian said. "Separate rooms were in" they both said Steve left to tell the Station Commander and Brian was left alone with a different Mike then he remembered the thin Mike Brian once called friend was replaced by a much larger and heavily muscled teen thanks to his klingon heritage "Thanks" Mike said and asked "what was he like" "well he was thin and tall he wore glasses like mine, he loved to play Magic, and had a sense of humor and a passion for the Air Force in my time" Brian said.
Steve was back now "what can the both of you do" Brian asked "well we can both pilot Mikes good at maneuvers at impulse and weapons" Steve said "have either of you ever piloted a ship this large or alone at warp" Brian asked "NO" they both said "Great" Brian said "Well Mike you can pilot first shift and be in charge of weapons that sound ok" Brian asked "Fine" Mike said "anything else" Brian asked "well I'm pretty good at computer programming" said Steve "Good I'd like you to add some new computer lockouts and protection from unauthorized personal" Brian said "on it boss" said Steve. "Mike I'm going to need your help when the crew arrive ok" Brian said "Yep" Mike said
A week and a half later the crew arrived Brian told them all to meet in cargo bay 1 as he gave a speech "welcome aboard you've all been given a second chance on my ship and I expect you to fallow my orders but things will run differently here this is a civilian ship if you wish to wear a casual uniform that I designed your welcome to that or your Starfleet uniform also I request that you wear this pin with your uniform (it was an oval with a blue star in it) also you've probably noticed that you're the only crew here after we finish this first mission were going to Deep Space Nine to see if any Bajorians want to join get settled and report to the Observation lounge Dismissed" Brian said.
