I command the Starbase that has been home to legends from the era of the excelsior class starships, I command Starbase one."

Episode 002- The Return

T'Son was meditating in his ready room – it was something he did once a day to make sure he could suppress his emotions well. It was harder for him than most Vulcans since he was a quarter human. He had finally completed the long preparation when the computer let out a short beep.

"Incoming message from the honorable president of the United Federation of Planets, Priority one." The computer said in a cold voice. T'Son moaned a bit and got up from his spot and went over to his desk.

"Computer," T'Son began, "Activate reply channel authorization kp53dwc alpha tango beta Charlie gamma echo check 12983 alpha/"

"Authorization confirmed," the computer announced showing the symbol of the President of the United Federation of Planets, "Channel Connected, now on viewer." On T'Son's viewer now sat the President of the United Federation of Planets himself, Mr. Jara-Ishu.

"T'Son, we may have a situation on our hands, I need you to take the base to yellow alert." The President sounded very urgent and this took T'Son a bit surprised.

"May I inquire as to why you have directed me to proceed with such an action?" T'Son inquired raising an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry T'Son, I can't right now, Jara-Ishu out!" The screen was replaced with the symbol of the President.

"What is going on?" T'Son thought to himself. T'Son quickly tapped his communicator / "T'Son to Bridge"

/ "Bridge, Selar here"

/ "Selar, take us to Yellow Alert"

/ "Aye sir!"

/ "Thank you Selar, T'Son out" / T'Son sat back in his ready room chair, he knew his meditation was ruined. "Oh well," he thought to himself, "Maybe next time."

T'Son exited his ready room and headed to the turbolift. T'Son stepped into the turbolift. "Promenade!" he ordered as the turbolift began whisking him down the Starbase.

"Halt!" an obscure voice ordered. T'Son had not even noticed that another person was in the elevator, it was strange, almost like he had tried to conceal himself. He was wearing a long trench coat the concealed his face. "Greetings Admiral, you thought we were gone, but now we are back. We were contained by a mirror but now the mirror has shattered!" T'Son was about to call for security but it was no use, an annular confinement beam came around the mysterious person and he was transported away. T'Son was very perplexed by this.

"Proceed!" T'Son ordered as the turbolift continued toward the promenade. "What is going on?" T'Son thought, "Does the president know something about this?" The turbolift doors opened and T'Son immediately took a left and entered the security center. The security center of the station was huge, it occupied 3 of the 500 levels of the Starbase. He headed towards Lt. Commander Larson's office. He pushed the chime button and waited.

"Come in!" the female voice said. T'Son walked in and could tell she was aggravated. Commander Larson was a very strict person, she wanted things done her way and her way alone. She was feared by all of her subordinates and was known to throw tantrums in the offices of superior officers if she didn't get her way.

"Hello Commander, I want you to tighten up security, I just..."

"Not now!" Larson interrupted impatiently, "I'm tracking an unauthorized transport from turbolift 7, it just came down to the promenade."

"I know Commander, that's what..."

"NOT NOW!" Larson yelled as she looked at her monitor.

"Commander I was..."

"WHAT PART OF NOT NOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?" she yelled in a loud fury. T'Son knew he needed to get her attention. He looked around the office for something. He immediately spotted a Type 1 phaser and grabbed it and fired it on stun into the air. "WHAT ON ALPHA CENTURI ARE YOU DOING?!" she yelled putting down her PADD.

"I needed to get your attention commander. Now," T'Son began sitting down, "I need you to boost station security since I was in a turbolift when someone told me something disturbing that I can't tell you and it was very disturbing. Do I make myself clear Commander?"

"Yes sir!" the commander said, "I'm sorry sir, I'm not feeling myself."

"Get to sickbay Commander, that's an order!" T'Son looked at her and was tempted to order a security contingent to escort her. Commander Larson hesitated for a moment.

"Aye sir," she finally said as she headed out of the room. T'Son sighed, partially in relief and partially in wonder.

"How on Vulcan did she get to be an officer...much less a Lt. Commander?" T'Son figured he would think about it sometime when he had more time. T'Son headed out to the Promenade and headed to a turbolift. He saw someone out of the corner of his eye. It was someone wearing a hooded jacket and that someone was walking towards him. T'Son slowly walked toward him and kept his phaser in his hand ready to fire.

"Mr. T'Son, I know of your new threat and I am here to help." The person sounded familiar to T'Son but T'Son couldn't place his preverbal finger on it.

"Who are you?" T'Son inquired. The person took off his hood and T'Son stood as aghast as a Vulcan could be.

"I have returned from my mission and I am here to help. I am Commander Data"
