Chapter 12.
(Scott POV)
I woke up and did my usual routine, Shower, Dressed, have Breakfast and coffee. Then I headed up to the bridge and Kim was on the bridge after another night-shift.
"Everything good, Ensign," I said.
"Yes, Captain, Nothing through the whole night we are still travel on the same course at Warp 5, All system fully operational," Kim said.
"Any planets maybe," I said.
"None," Kim said. "Not even any ships as well,"
"I'll be in my ready room," I said then headed in leaving Harry in charge on the bridge.
I continued to work on a survival kit just in case the Kazon does get control of this ship and throw my crew and I off the ship and use it for they own means as they leave us there to die. Lucky I already got weapons in there including hunting gear. Now I just need to get Medicines, Hyprosprays, food, water, clothing for warmth. I could easily replicate most of the stuff apart from Medicines and Hyprosprays. Which I can replicate if we have to go against the Kazon. Plus I am using a transporter buffer which can be used for storage weapons but it is going to store the backpacks which will have the stuff in it.
Then the door bell rang.
"Come in," I said.
Then Tuvok came in.
"Tuvok," I said.
"I've completed the modifications to include the Phase cannons," Tuvok said.
"Good," I said.
"I have also started to make a firing program for hitting the Kazon warships," Tuvok said.
"Go, We barely did anything against them at the Array, I've got a feeling we aren't done with the Kazon even if they have Seska, I want to know what she had on her database everything she knew and change the codes so she can't hack in and work on a new set of Shield modulations," I said.
"I will get started," Tuvok said.
"Still nothing," I said.
"Still nothing, No ships or planets nearby," Tuvok said.
"Okay," I said. "Dismissed," Then Tuvok left.
Another hour later, Almost nothing.
"Captain to the bridge," Chakotay said.
I got up and headed out onto the Bridge, "Report," I said.
"We got something weird on sensors 2 Lightyears on our course, Should we avoid it," Chakotay said.
"No, Let's see what it is, How long til we get there," I said.
"At this speed, 30 minutes," Paris said.
"Increase to Warp 8," I said.
"Increasing speed now, we'll be there in 2 minutes," Paris said.
"Anything, Ensign," I said.
"Nothing, yet, Captain but whatever that energy source has disappeared," Kim said. "But I am picking up a small craft, could be an escape pod," Kim said.
"We're approaching the coordinates captain," Paris said.
"Drop to impulse, Kim," I said. As we dropped to Impulse power.
"I am still picking up the craft, Captain," Kim said.
"What," I said.
"It is a escape pod," Kim said.
"How do you know," I said.
"Captain, it's a starfleet escape pod, Can't tell where from through but I'm picking up a lifesign, It's a Human Female," Kim said.
"Beam her to sickbay, Commander hold position here," I said.
"Aye captain," Chakotay said.
"Kim beam that pod into the shuttlebay and you and Tuvok get down there and try to identify which ship it came from," I said.
"Aye Captain," Kim said.
"I'll be in Sickbay," I said "You have the bridge commander," I said before getting into the turbolift and went to Deck 5. Where I headed towards Sickbay and went in and saw the Doctor and Kes over there.
"Doctor," I said.
"Captain," Doc said.
"How is she?" I said.
"A few major burns to her arms and hands but other than that she will be fine," Doc said.
"Match her DNA to the database, Let's find out she, Tell me when you have the results," I said.
"Aye Captain," Doc said. Who headed into his office.
I went over to where Kes was with her.
"Captain, where did she come from," Kes said.
"No idea," I said. "We found a strange energy reading by time we got there it was gone and just a pod there,"
"Who is she?" Kes said.
"I don't know, Let's just hope the database can give us something," I said.
"Kim to McCall," Kim said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"Captain I think you need to came down to the Shuttle-bay, We may have something," Kim said.
"On my way," I said.
Then I headed out of sickbay and went to the Shuttle-bay and headed in.
"What you got," I said.
"You need to see this ti believe it captain," Kim said.
I moved over and saw the Pod but it had 2 registrations.
"NCC 1701 and NCC 1031," I said. "But that's USS Enterprise and Discovery,"
"From what I can tell, the Enterprise is the original Constitution Class," Kim said.
"But was it Kirk in charge," I said.
"Not then Captain, I think it was Captain Christopher Pike," Kim said.
"It was," Tuvok said. "From what I have seen that last time that Enterprise and Discovery was together was at the Battle against Section 31 who had been taken over by Control,"
"Which was decommissioned after Discovery was destroyed," I said.
"So the question is who have we got in Voyager's Sickbay," Kim said.
"We will find out, The Doctor is going though the whole database now trying to match it," I said.
"He should be done anytime then," Kim said.
"Doctor, To Captain McCall," Doctor said.
"More like now," I said then hit my combadge. "Go ahead,"
"Captain, I found out who it is but I think you should see this in person," Doctor said.
"On my way, McCall out," I said. "Tuvok, Harry, found out what you can from the Nav-Computer, Let's try find out how she got here," Then I headed back to Sickbay.
"Doctor," I said. When I have entered the room.
"In here, Captain," Doctor said from his office and I went in.
"Well," I said.
"Have a look Captain," He said turning the computer around and It had the Woman's name.
"Admiral Katrina Cornwell," I said. "Died 2257, Battle against Section 31, Controlled by Control, No body was recovered. You sure about this,"
"I have checked it Twice before I called you, Captain, She is Katrina Cornwell," Doc said.
"No DNA anomalies," I said.
"Nothing, The DNA was a complete match. 100%," Doc said.
"Let me know when she wakes up," I said headed out of sickbay to the Bridge.
"Aye Captain," Doc said as I went out the door. Then to the turbolift and went to the Bridge where Chakotay was there.
"Chakotay," I said. Then headed into the Ready room with Chakotay behind me.
"Captain," Chakotay said.
"We know who we have in Sickbay," I said.
"Who?" Chakotay said.
"Admiral Katrina Cornwell," I said.
"But if I remember my history right she died in the battle against Section 31 or Control," Chakotay said.
"But her body was never recovered from the battle zone," I said.
"So what do we do," Chakotay said.
"No idea yet," I said. "But if she is still awake then it is possible that Discovery wasn't destroyed at Starfleet security was told,"
"But then where are they?" Chakotay said.
"That's what I plan to ask her when she if back on her feet," I said. "Anything on sensors,"
"Nothing, No other signs of that Energy Source," Chakotay said.
"Resume course, Warp 5," I said.
"Aye captain," Chakotay said. "Anything else?"
"No, Dismissed," I said.
Then Chakotay went back onto the Bridge. Then I saw us go back into Warp.
XXX
It had been 3 hours since Admiral Cornwell arrived on Voyager still no word that she has woke up yet.
"Captain log, Stardate 48729.2. After encountering a strangle Energy source of unknown original we found an old Starfleet Escape pod, With 2 registrations on it. NCC 1701. AKA Enterprise, Constitution Class, and NCC 1031 USS Discovery. We found a woman inside DNA has matched it to be Admiral Katrina Cornwell who is still in our Sickbay. From Records she was killed in 2257 in the battle against Section 31 AKA the AI known as Control which was Decommissioned after the report from Captain Pike, But if we found Admiral Cornwell out here from that field, I wonder if Discovery is still out there somewhere. End Log," I said finishing off my log and not a moment too soon.
"Doctor to Captain McCall," Doctor said.
"Go ahead Doc," I said.
"Our guest has regained consciousness," Doctor said.
"On my way, McCall out," I said.
Then I headed out to the bridge and to the Turbolift. "Deck 5," I said then the doors closed and it took me down to Deck 5 and then I headed out and to where Sickbay was and headed in to see the Doctor over by Admiral Cornwell.
"Excuse me," Doctor said to her before coming over.
"Well?" I said.
"She has complete recall of everything till after the explosion," Doctor said. "But take it easy with her Captain,"
"I will, Thank you doc," I said before moving over to her. "Captain Scott McCall,"
"Admiral Katrina Cornwell," Cornwell said.
"Welcome to Voyager," I said.
"I am not familiar with that name of Ship, Captain or this layout of sickbay," Cornwell said.
"Admiral, I don't know how to put this to you," I said.
"Just spit it out then," Cornwell said.
"Admiral the year is 2371," I said.
"No it's 2257," Cornwell said.
"Admiral, It's 2371. According to reports you died at the battle against Section 31 or Control," I said.
"Died," Cornwell said.
"Yes, But they never found your body," I said. "What's the last thing you remember,"
"I was in this room where Control had an undetonated torpedo in Enterprise's front hull, I had to seal the room off so it would protect the rest of the ship. I found a Jefferson tube hatch which I used and sealed behind me but it lead to an escape pod. I managed to get into the pod and seal it then from what I could guess that torpedo exploded and I was out cold till now," Cornwell said. "What happened to Discovery?"
"Officially, Discovery is classed as been destroyed by it own Spore drive engines from report of the Enterprise crew. But I always though something was off," I said.
"Discovery had a key piece of Information that Control needed which then would destroy everything," Cornwell said.
"What really happened with Discovery," I said.
"Discovery encountered a sphere which download all of its information into Discovery's computer banks that was wait control was after. We know no matter where out Discovery Control would stop at nothing to get that data, So we originally made the decision to destroy Discovery, But the information which the sphere put it stop the self destruct which we had on. Then raise shield went we tried again to destroy with torpedoes, The only move we had left was to send Discovery into the future where Control couldn't get it. I was the one who brought Enterprise to Discovery before the battle. What happened to Control," Cornwell said.
"It was decommissioned after the battle," I said.
"So it worked then," Cornwell said.
"Yes," I said.
"Did you find Discovery too?" Cornwell said.
"No, Nothing yet," I said. "It was only the escape pod you were in. When we got there,"
"I need to talk with Starfleet," Cornwell said.
"That will be difficult, We 75,000 light years from Earth," I said.
"Can't you use the spore drive," Cornwell said.
"No, It was decommission also. It was part of the Officially story what happened to Discovery, it said that the Spore Drive exploded taking the whole ship with it. Which lead to it being decommissioned," I said.
"So it is just us out, Where are we?" Cornwell said.
"Deep in the Delta Quadrant," I said. "We were brought here against our will by an entity who called himself the Caretaker. He died before we could ask if he cold sent us home,"
"Why?" Cornwell said.
"We were part of events and a hostile group known as the Kazon would have used that array if we left it intacted," I said.
"What did you do?" Cornwell said.
"I give the order to destroy it. To protect another group known as the Ocampa. Kes who is here is from that species, she chose to come with us on our journey to get home," I said. "The Kazon would have killed them,"
"But General order 1," Cornwell said.
"Admiral General Order 1 is now known as the Prime Directive," I said. "And as I had said we were already part of the events since we were brought here,"
"Captain, Sorry for interrupting but I would need you to let my patient rest," Doctor said.
"Of Course, Doc," I said. "Excuse me, Admiral," Then left back to the Bridge.
Once back on the bridge, Harry only confirmed what she had told me.
We stay on course for home.
That's all for this chapter.
I know it was short but more coming,
Stay tuned and safe.
Love Y'all
Now I would like for you to ask yourself where is Discovery.
PEACE!
