Chapter 1

DISCLAIMER- I do not own anything in this story but the plot and several characters that have been created by me and me alone (Lauren, Captain Daniel, and Lieutenant Jacobs).

NOTE- Set in about the fifth season of Star Trek Voyager.

In the 29th century, the crew of the Federation Starship Destiny is attempting to bring a very special individual into the present, onboard one of Starfleet's most treasured vessels using their advanced temporal technology.

"Has the target been located?" asks Captain Daniels impatiently, sitting in the Captains chair on the bridge of Destiny.

"Not yet sir. I'm having trouble pin pointing her life signs." replies Lieutenant Jacobs.

"Well, keep trying. I'll be in my ready-room." Says Captain Daniels.

After several minutes of scanning, Lieutenant Jacobs locates the individual's temporal coordinates and reports his findings to Captain Daniels. Daniels is sitting behind his desk reading over a status report on a pad.

"We have found her sir. Our information tells us that at this point in time, she has just gained full control of her abilities and is mature physically and mentally to undertake the task." reports Lieutenant Jacobs.

"Location?"

"Brisbane, Australia sir."

"Excellent. What year are we talking about exactly?" enquires Captain Daniels.

"The year will be 2006 sir." replies Jacobs.

"That means she'll be only 17 years old. I just hope she'll be able to handle it." says Daniels.

"If I may be so blunt sir, regardless of her age, we really have no choice, for the sake of Voyager. And it has to be at this point in her life, because at this age she was most powerful and in control." states Jacobs, cautious not to step out of line.

"Yes quite right. Prepare for transport." orders Daniels as he walks out of his ready-room and onto the bridge.

"Set temporal coordinates, location – Alpha Quadrant, Earth, Australia."

In the year 2006

Lieutenant Jacobs transports into a dark room with the slightest bit of light just enough to be able to see. The first thing he sees is the person they have been searching for.

Lauren sleeps peacefully in her warm bed, completely unaware of whom is standing beside her and what is going to happen to her in the following minutes.

Gently, Jacobs wakes Lauren up by touching her shoulder, being careful not to scare her and before Lauren has time to scream, they are transported out, leaving her bed empty and the room filled with darkness.

Back in the 29th century, onboard the Starship Destiny.

Seconds after lying in her bed, Lauren finds herself on the floor of a very strange and unfamiliar place with no idea of what had just happened.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."

Lauren turns around to see the man who had awoken her, kneeling beside her with his hand on her shoulder.

"Who are you and what do you want from me!" she asks in shock, knocking his hand away.

"Just calm down, all you need to know for now is that we mean you no harm. My name is Lieutenant Jacobs." trying to reassure her.

"Where am I?" she asks.

Before Jacobs can answer, he is interrupted by Captain Daniels.

"You're on the Starship Destiny."
