This is my first fan-fic so bear with me
Story Summary- Kirk finds a dead body in the middle of an exploded planet and a very large mystery. Has he bitten off more than he can chew?
Chapter1- the girl
Kirk sat in his room. It had been a very hard week and the Federation was no closer to peace with the Romulins than they were when they started. Not to mention they had just gotten back from a particularly dangerous mission in wish there had been several casualties, and he himself had almost died! But this was a slow day. It had gone bye with no excitement and no warfare, it was the closest thing to a day off he'd had in a long time. It was the time between missions where nothing went wrong. Kirk loved this part of the job, but not without realizing that he would not like them half as much if not for those adventures.
As he lade down on the bed he could not help thinking about all of the voyages that he had gone on, they were too numerous to count. All those missions, all those adventures, the loves and the sacrifices. He had seen his fair share of battles but were they too many? No, he thought quickly. I am in my prime! He told himself. I still have a duty to this crew and my abilities would be weakened if I was to think about retirement! He mentally slapped himself and tried to think of some thing ells. Luckily he did not have to try very hard because the communicator on his desk buzzed and blinked signaling that the bridge was trying to contact him.
"Kirk here"
"Sir-" it was Sulu. "we're coming up on the planet Zega, you better come and look at this."
His voice was strained and concerned.
"What's wrong?"
"Sir, you won't believe this!"
"I'm on my way." He signed off and ran towards the door to the hall way and up the turbo lift.
He could feel that another one of his numerous adventures was about to begin. Maybe he wasn't ready for retirement, but he wouldn't mind a shoreleave!
On the bridge he was greeted by the familiar sounds of machinery beeping. Sulu and Chekov were at the helm. There, in front of them was a large screen, on the large screen was vast amount of distant stars and some space rubble.
"I thought you said we were nearing the Zega planet?"
"According to the computers we are right on top of it" Sulu replied
"What has happened? It's totally gone!"
"We called Starfleet command they're as stumped as we are."
"Do a life form scan, see if there are any survivors"
"Scanning….there is only one. I'm beaming it up right now, it's fading fast."
Kirk switched a switch on the arm of his captain's chair.
"Bridge to sickbay"
"Sickbay here."
"Bones, transporter room on the double. Emergency"
Kirk rushed to the powerlift and to the transporter room. Once there he watched the shape materialize, it was humanoid but had pointed ears. It's skin had a greenish tinge to it and it's dark purple hair was in a thick braid. He did not get to see its face until the medical team came in behind him and lifted it onto a hover-gurney. It was feminine, and quite beautiful she looked like a Vulcan only with normal ears. The creature reminded him of the animals in the stories he was told when he was younger, she looked elfin. He could not help staring at her as she was rushed off to sickbay.
