Title: What a Coincidence

Author: Fox of the Nova

Chapter 4:

Genes never lie

Stardate: 11.16.2423

(Picards POV)

Captain John Luc-Picard sits in his office while stardating on the mission status. "Captains Log, Stardate Supplemental." He states out loud.

A computer screen opens up in front of him and begins to record what the Captains states.

"For the past month, Starfleet has been monitoring a Klingon ship that has been experimenting on some new technology. Of course the Klingons are known to be a threat, but no idea has come from them yet to attack."

Picard reaches for mug that was to his right. Taking a sip from the mug, which held tea, Picard takes a deep breath and begins again.

"Starfleet has given us specific orders to monitor the Klingons…"

Picard suddenly stops when a tingly feeling crept up his spine. He puts down his mug and slowly gets up from his seat.

Looking around, Picard finds nothing that could explain what he was feeling. But he knew that something was wrong…something that had to do with him…

'Could it be the Borg?" Picard asked himself as he stepped towards the window.

'No, it is not. This feeling isn't a threat…but more of a precaution.' Picard states as he places his hands behind his back as he looks out towards the many stars.

Just then his door sounds, stating that someone wanted to enter.

"Come in." Picard stated in an order fashion.

The door opens and in enters Commander Riker or Number One as we all know him.

Commander Riker strolls in, stopping when he was in front of the Captains desk.

"The Klingon ship has suddenly stopped its progress towards Earth." Riker stated.

The Captain turned towards Riker and walks towards him. As he did so, Riker couldn't help but notice that the Captain had that look again; the look that he usually got when he knew that something unexplainable was about to happen.

"Something on your mind Captain?" Riker asked. They had become good friends through the many years together and Riker knew that he could always be informal to him…or at least when the Captain was in the mood.

The captain was about to answer when suddenly a transmission from Worf called for the Captain.

"Go ahead." Picard states.

"The Klingon ship has resumed its experiment…we believe it's time travel." Worf finished.

Picard and Riker briefly looked at each other and then walked out of the Captains office towards the Bridge.

"Report!" Picard commanded. He then walked towards the middle of the room.

"The Klingon warship suddenly used its weapons to fire simultaneously around space…which created some type of anomaly in space." Data stated.

"On screen!" Picard ordered as he sat down in the middle of the three seats…the Captains chair.

Data presses a series of buttons on his consul. The screen in front of them shimmers and they all beheld what the Klingons had created.

A whole…a giant blue whole in space was before them.

"Captain, the anomaly appears to be a temporal wake." Data stated in a matter of fact tone.

"Time travel." Riker stated.

"But why have they done this?" Diana asks.

Suddenly the hole began to shimmer. "Captain, the Klingon ship appears to be beaming up someone from the other side of the Temporal Wake." Data stated.

"Intercept it and beam the person to transporter room 3!" Picard ordered.

"Data, as soon as the person's aboard, enter warp speed." Picard ordered.

Picard then tapped on his communicator. "Captain Picard to Crusher."

Beverly's POV

Beverly Crusher was in sickbay, looking through some files, when she heard the Captain call her. Tapping on her own communicator she answers him.

"Yes Captain?" She politely asks.

"There is someone being transported onboard in Transporter room 3. I want you to go there with minor security and take that person to sick bay." Picard ordered.

"Understood Captain, Crusher out." Beverly said.

She then rounded up two of her specialist and her medic case; when everything was set, they headed for Transporter room 3.

When Beverly reached the room, the 'guest' was just being transported.

The first thing she noticed was that this person was most definitely not from this time. The guest looked to be a young woman with faded black jeans and a black fitted tee that had the inscription of…

"BORG UNIMATRIX!" Beverly screamed to herself.

"Was she a Borg? No, that's stupid…no Borg would have an inkling to fashion." Beverley thought to herself.

When the young woman was completely visible, she immediately sank to her knees.

Beverly rushed forward, but stopped when watched the young woman throw up.

"I guess it wasn't an easy trip for her." Beverly said to herself.

Grabbing a cloth towel that she always kept with her she walked towards the girl and kneels right in front of her. With the towel, she cleans the young woman's mouth. But she noticed that the girl didn't seem to register where she was, or for that matter feel, hear, or even see anything around her.

Beverly motioned for the others to step closer. When they were all around the girl, one of the specialists unclipped a waist pack that was around the girls' waist. When that was off, they all gently laid her down unto the floor.

As Beverly scanned the girl with her tricorder, it was then that she noticed that the girl's eyes looked less cloudy. As well, she noticed that her eyes were the color of the sea.

The girl started to blink, and seemed to try and focus to everything that was around her.

"Everything is going to be alright. You're safe." Beverly calmly stated towards the girl.

She didn't know why, but something about this girl…something about her made her think of Picard.

Then the girl seemed to focus on something behind them. The girl first started to frown, then that frown became something of anger.

"Q!" The girl screeched out with venom towards the wall behind them.

Then the girl eyes rolled back, revealing white, and then she passed out.

Beverly quickly looked behind her and just in time saw a flash of white light.

"The Captain isn't going to like this." Beverly stated.

Making sure that the girl was ok; Beverly got up and with the help of her people brought the unconscious girl to sick bay.

When the girl was placed on a medic bed, Beverly went to work on finding out who she was.

"Computer, scan the young women for any signs of radiation poisoning." Beverly ordered.

As this was done, Beverly went over towards the unconscious young women. She was still puzzled as to why the Klingons had wanted her. And to pick this girl from the twenty first century! It just didn't make any sense.

"Doctor!" One of the medical officers calls out.

Beverly turns around and quickly walks towards the young man.

"What is it?" Beverly asks as she leans forward to pear at the monitor that was showing the young womans genes.

"There is nothing wrong with her genes. But the computer has found a match with her DNA with someone on the Enterprise!" He officer states.

Beverlys mouth drops as she process this information. "Is that why she was taken? She must be one of the crew members' great ancestors. But who?"

Beverly then begins to tap several of the keys on the consul and soon the match of the DNA is displayed on the screen.

No one says a word as both DNAs' interlocked to form the long line of family genes.

Beverly slowly straightens her back. Everyone is silent as they all look at the screen. Beverly turns her head to face the young woman who was gently breathing in her unconscious state.

Very slowly, Beverly reaches for her combadge and taps it. "Dr. Beverly too Captain Picard." She shaking speaks out.

"Yes Beverly, what is it?" The voice of the Captain speaks back.

Everyone is now staring at the girl on the bed or at Beverly. All having the same shocked expression as well as disbelief.

"I think you should come down here. There is…something you should see." Beverly stated back.

Silence for a while until the Captains voice was heard again. "I'm on my way."
