Chapter 19.
(Scott POV)
When I woke up, I went and got ready for heading up to the bridge.
It's been 3 Weeks since that run in with the Kazon. Lucky no one got hurt. Bad news is that we lost a shuttle. I'm just hoping that there is some good news soon.
I just after finished my breakfast and then headed for the bridge.
Everyone was already there.
"Anything Commander," I said.
"Nothing, Yet at least," Chakotay said.
"No sign of Kazon ships," I said.
"No, Nothing for the pass 2 weeks," Kim said.
"Any planets," I said.
"None on sensors yet, Captain," Tom said.
"I'll be in my ready room, Commander the bridge is yours," I said.
"Aye Captain," Chakotay said.
Then I went into my Ready room.
I started to work on a MAC Cannon. (Think about Spite of Fire From Halo Wars) Which we could get to work on the main Deflector. Could come in handle against the Borg if we come across them.
XXX
I have been working on the specs of the MAC Cannon for the last 2 hours. Nothing has come up.
"Captain to the Bridge," Chakotay said.
Spoke to soon. I thought getting up and headed out.
"Report," I said.
"We have a Class M Planet. 2 lightyears off our course," Chakotay said.
"Anything on it," I said.
"I can't tell from here, Captain, But I am picking up a energy reading," Kim said.
"What about lifesigns?" I said.
"Can't tell from this distance," Kim said.
"Tom set a course for the planet, Warp 6," I said.
"Aye Captain," Tom said.
XXX
After 20 - 30 minutes.
"We are approaching the Planet Captain," Tom said.
"Slow to Impulse, On screen," I said. As we dropped out of warp. Then the Planet showed up. "Any Lifesigns Harry?"
"No lifesigns. But that Energy reading is still there," Harry said.
"Where is it," I said.
"It's coming from some kind of building on the North Continent, But we can't beam into it," Harry said.
"Is there any opening?" I said.
"Yes, But I can't tell you from here how to open it," Harry said.
"Any ships in sensor range," I said.
"Nothing on sensors," Harry said.
"Any Satellites, beacon's?" I said.
"None," Harry said.
"Tuvok, Harry, You with me, Bridge to Torres," I said.
"Go ahead," Torres said.
"Meet me in transporter room 2 with an engineering crew," I said.
"On our way," Torres said.
"Tuvok, have a security team meet us there," I said.
"Aye Captain," Tuvok said.
"Chakotay, Voyager's yours," I said.
Then we went to the turbolift and went down to the Armoury for Phasers. Then went to transporter room 2 where, Torres was ready for us.
"Ready," I said.
"Aye Captain," Torres said.
Then we all got onto the Transport pad.
"Coordinates locked, ready to Transport," Transport Chief said.
"Then Energize," I said.
"Aye Captain," Transport Chief said.
Then we beamed down. Where we saw the door.
"Harry," I said.
"Tricorder isn't reading a door control," Harry said.
"What's that on the left," Torres said.
I saw a panel of some sort. Then I went over and it lit up.
"Captain," Tuvok said.
"Easy, Harry," I said.
"I'm not picking up anything dangerous," Harry said.
Then I moved my hand over it and it make some noise then the door opened. (Think about Stargate Atlantis Door Noise)
"That must of been the Door control," I said.
"Looks like it," Harry said.
"Let's go, Easy to people we have no idea what this is yet," I said.
Then we went in and the Door closed.
"Who did that," Torres said.
"Easy, people let's not get to antsy people," I said.
Then we kept going and found another door.
"Can you pick up anything behind that door," I said.
"Nothing, Captain," Harry said.
"Alright then," I said Then moved over and it lit up and moved my hand over it.
Then it opened and revealed a control room.
Then we walked in and the door shut behind us again.
"It appears to be some sort of Control Room," Tuvok said moving over to the panel but nothing happened. "Strangle, Nothing is happening, None of the control appear to be working,"
"Then why did the other ones work," Torres said.
"Wait, Didn't I use them," I said.
"That's right, The Captain has been the one to open the last 2 doors," Harry said.
"So why me not anyone else?" I said.
"No idea yet," Harry said.
"Hold on, I'll see if I can power it up," I said moving over and moved my hand over to the panel which then lit up. "Okay, this is getting a little creepy,"
"Agreed," Tuvok said.
"See if you can access it now," I said.
"I'm in," Tuvok said. "Strangle it wouldn't let me before,"
"Try and get what you can, Harry, B'Elanna with me," I said.
Then we walked on and found another door.
"Harry you try opening this one," I said.
"Got it," Harry said moving over but it did nothing. "Nothing,"
"B'Elanna," I said.
Then She went over and nothing. "Same,"
Then I moved over and it opened. "Okay, Let's see what in here," I said. Moving in.
"It looks to be a storage area," Harry said going in first.
Then I came in and see something, I seen before.
"No Way," I said. Moving over for the side.
"What?" Torres said.
"I can't believe this," I said.
"What is this?" Torres said.
"It's an outpost," I said.
"Who's outpost," Harry said.
"An Ancient outpost," I said. "McCall to Tuvok,"
"Go ahead," Tuvok said.
"I know what this place is," I said. "But I want only the senior staff to hear this, Head back and get everyone in the Conference room in 20 minutes,"
"Understood, Tuvok out," Tuvok said.
"What are these Ancient's?" Torres said.
"On Voyager, Come on," I said.
Then we headed back outside.
"McCall to Voyager, 3 to beam up," I said.
"Energizing," Transport Chief said.
Then we beamed up. Then We headed for the bridge and into the Conference room.
Where Neelix, Kes, Tom, Kat, Tuvok, Chakotay were.
"Captain, you said you know what that place was," Chakotay said.
"It's an Ancient outpost," I said.
"Ancient?" Kes said.
"They were what was before us humans were around, Computer bring up Files of SGC," I said.
"Authorization code required," Computer said.
"Authorization McCall Alpha 9 Charlie 6," I said.
"Access granted," Computer said.
"What is SGC?" Harry said.
"Back in the 21st century, there was a classified, beyond top secret division that travelled over the stars before first contact and World War 3," I said bring up the file with a photo of a Stargate.
"What is that?" Tom said.
"That's a Stargate, How SGC travelled to other worlds through artificial wormholes, But there are only big enough for us to get through, Nothing like Voyager, Maybe our shuttles but that is it. The Ancients are the people who built the Stargates. But they could only for 38 Minutes before they shut down. Which will make them redial with a DHD, Dial Home Device," I said.
"DHD," Chakotay said.
"They full of Symbols, in the right sequence the wormhole connects to the stargate gate there letting people talk through them," I said.
"Talk," Harry said.
"Yes, Talk, If we can find stargate here in the Delta, I know the symbol address for Earth, Then we can let Starfleet know we are still out here, Maybe able get supplies through the gate," I said.
"Where was it for?" Tuvok said.
"In 1928, An Archaeologist found it in Giza, But It was only moved to US soil in 1939 during World War 2 with the Nazis to stop them from getting they hands on it. Then it was eventually taken to a top secret military Base in DC," I said.
"I heard that US Military had a base there but it was never proven," Tom said.
"Will there was, The Base was called Cheyenne Mountain, It then came to HQ for SGC Stargate Command," I said.
"You said that you know the Symbol address for Earth," Chakotay said.
"Yes, It's a 7 symbol address, But that is only for those inside this Galaxy, Our Galaxy," I said.
"Are you saying that they could be used to travel to different Galaxies," Torres said.
"Yes, But it takes an 8 Symbol address and it only works on certain stargates," I said.
"But surely that made Earth some enemies," Tuvok said.
"Yes, it did, One of them was a Group known as the Goa'uld. Basically posed as Gods and tried to enslave Earth. But failed. Then that was where they found out about the 8 Symbol address which Earth stargate could connect to another galaxy. Called Pegasus. But there a more dangerous Enemy was found," I said.
"Didn't Earth not have any allies," Tom said.
"Only one I know of was the Asgard, They technology and Earth was joined together to 2 Ships which when to and from Pegasus. The Daedalus and the Apollo. Outfitted with Asgard technology, Hyperdrives, weapons, Transports," I said.
"Hyperdrive, If we could find that we could be home in 5 years," Kim said.
"But it also depends if Voyager Hull can take the stress," I said.
"What do we do about that outpost," Chakotay said.
"First I want a complete inventory on what is down there," I said. "I'll be going down too, For now I am the only one who can open the doors and activate control panels,"
"Why is that?" Kes said.
"It's a Gene which I have. SGC Called it the ATA Gene, Ancient Technology activation," I said. "It like a way to keep enemies from using the technology against them,"
"Is there any way for our crew to get it," Chakotay said.
"No idea," I said. "Chakotay Voyager is yours, Dismissed,"
Then I left and headed to my ready room.
But I wasn't long in before the Door went.
"Come in," I said.
Then The door opened and Chakotay came in.
"What is it, Chakotay," I said.
"I know that there is something you are holding back," Chakotay said.
"Yes and until I see reason to disclose it this conversion is closed," I said.
"Fine, But what I don't get is how long you knew about these Stargates," Chakotay said.
"I've always knew, But the fact is we are nowhere near close enough to one," I said.
"How long till?" Chakotay said.
"At least 14 years, On our course, At Warp 9," I said.
"Torres to McCall," Torres said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"We ready to beam down," Torres said.
"On my way," I said.
"Captain," Chakotay said.
"Voyager's yours," I said.
Then headed down to the transporter room. Where everyone was.
"Everyone got a phaser just in case," I said.
"Aye Captain," Torres said.
"Then let's go," I said.
"Coordinates locked," Transport Chief said.
"Energize," I said.
Then we beamed back down just outside the door.
Then I got us back to the Control room.
Then we split up the teams.
"Harry, Try and translate the Data on this, Then try to Download into Voyager's database if it is clean," I said.
"Aye Captain," Harry said.
"Torres, you're with me," I said. "As for the rest of you, Remember, Anything weird, Com one of us three, Then Fall back here, Understood,"
"Aye Captain," They said.
"Good, Let's go," I said.
Then Torres and I went another corridor. It seems to be a bit longer.
"This corridor goes on for another 100 meters, Then it looks to be a large room up ahead," Torres said.
"Can you pick up anything else," I said.
"Nothing," Torres said.
"Where's the power source," I said.
"I can't tell, But what I would give to have it in Engineering," Torres said.
"Depends what it is," I said.
Then the corridor split into 2 where there was a room in front of us and another corridor.
"What is behind this," Torres said.
"Let's find out," I said finding the controls and opening it. Then we went in and I found another set of Controls and I got the light on. "There some light,"
"Wow," Torres said.
"What," I said. Then Turned to see the room being full of components. "Now things are looking up a bit,"
"I start running scans see if we can use them on Voyager," Torres said.
"Get on with it," I said.
"Already doing that," Torres said.
Then I had a look around seeing some Crystals, Even some smaller devices.
"Voyager to McCall," Chakotay said.
"Go ahead, Commander," I said.
"Captain, We're picking up a ship heading this way," Chakotay said.
"Right for us," I said.
"Yes, We are too far for being able to see the ship," Chakotay said. "I recommend you get up here,"
"On our way," I said. "McCall to Away team, Fall back to the transport site. B'Elanna we going,"
"Right behind you," Torres said.
Then we got back to the control room and I powered it down.
"Let's go," I said.
Then we managed to get back to the Transport site.
"Away team to Voyager, We are ready to Transport," I said.
"Energizing," Transport Chief said.
Then we were back on the ship. Then I went to the Turbolift heading to the Bridge.
"Report," I said.
"The Ship is just out of range, It came out of nowhere. But it is moving fast right for us," Chakotay said.
"Can we tell if they weapons are charged," I said.
"Not at the moment," Tuvok said.
"Break orbit just in case," I said.
"Aye Captain," Tom said.
"The vessel is in range," Kim said.
"On Screen," I said.
Then The Ship came on, Which I knew.
"What is that?" Chakotay said.
"No, They can't be here," I said.
"Captain," Chakotay said.
"Harry, magnify," I said.
That is what he did and I saw 2 Cruisers there.
"Crap," I said.
"Is that 2 ships connected," Tom said.
"Captain, What are they," Chakotay said.
"Later, Shields up, Red Alert," I said. As the Klaxon went off. "Tuvok, Put Phasers banks to full power, Torpedoes to Maximum Yield, Bring Phase Cannons Online,"
"Captain, That will," Tuvok said.
"I know, Lt, If they going to do what I think they are, We will need the Firepower we got," I said. "Harry, Polarize Hull Planting, it will help,"
"Aye Captain," Harry said.
"Captain what are they?" Chakotay said.
"Remember that other Enemy I never say anything about," I said.
"Yes," Chakotay said.
"Well, That's them," I said.
"Captain, The 2 ships just disengaged from the large ship," Harry said.
"Hive, The large one is called a Hive, The 2 what just disconnected are cruisers," I said.
"Acknowledged," Harry said.
"Where are they going?" Chakotay said.
"Right for us," Harry said.
"Harry, Are there any other Planets nearby with lifesigns," I said.
"Pre Warp or," Harry said.
"Doesn't matter," I said.
"1 Planet, I am picking up lifesigns on. They're Pre industrial," Harry said.
"We can't leave," I said.
"What," Chakotay said.
"If we leave they go after that Planet," I said. "We got to stop them here and now,"
"Captain, The Hive has stopped but the Cruisers are still coming at us," Tom said.
"Probably thinking they got the advantage," I said.
"I'm picking up a discharge from the one on Starboard," Harry said.
"Evasion pattern Beta 1," I said.
"They're firing," Harry said.
But it missing.
"Lucky miss," Harry said.
"Return Fire on the Cruisers both of them," I said.
Then we fired back hitting them both on they hulls.
"Direct hit to their hull. Wait, It's healing," Harry said.
"What, How is that possible," Chakotay said.
"It's the ships, They can heal that, Tuvok Torpedoes maximum yield 4 on each," I said.
"Captain," Tuvok said.
"Do it, Paris, Attack Pattern Alpha 1," I said.
"Acknowledge," Tom said.
"Firing Protons," Tuvok said.
Hitting the first one.
"Direct hit on the first they hull is down to 30%, Wait it going to try heal again," Harry said.
"Tuvok, Fire one more," I said.
"Captain, That will," Tuvok said.
"That's the Point, Lt, Fire," I said.
"Firing proton," Tuvok said.
Which hit it.
"Direct hit, It's going up," Harry said.
"Good, Target 6 Torpedoes on the Port one," I said.
"Would they not fall back," Chakotay said.
"No," I said. "Paris, Attack Patter Delta 2," I said.
"Acknowledged," Paris said.
"Firing Torpedoes," Tuvok said.
Which all but one hit.
"5 Hit, 1 Miss," Harry said. "Wait it's going blow,"
"Paris, Get us away from it," I said.
"Aye Captain," Paris said. As we managed to pull away from the last cruiser.
"What about the Hive," I said.
"That's strangle," Harry said.
"What is," Chakotay said.
"It's opening up a bay of some sort on the front, Nothing," Harry said.
"All Phasers, Target The bay now," I said.
"Captain," Chakotay said.
"I don't have time to explain but if they get ships out of there we are going have to leave," I said. "Fire,"
"Firing Phasers and Phase Cannons," Tuvok said.
As we fired, Darts started to come out only to get blown away by our phasers.
"I'm picking up secondary explosions from inside the hive," Harry said.
Then we got hit.
"Direct hit," Harry said. "Shields are down to 98%,"
"Tuvok," I said. "How many more of those Tricobalt do we have left,"
"10," Tuvok said.
"Arm one, modify the Yield to carry as if it was getting hit with 3 Quantum Torpedoes," I said.
"Ready," Tuvok said.
"Paris, Evasion pattern Delta," I said.
"On it," Tom said.
"Fire," I said.
As we fired off the Tricobalt device which hit straight into the center of the Hive.
"Captain, I am reading a massive energy build up," Harry said.
"That's going to blow," Chakotay said.
"Paris, Get us out of here," I said.
As He engage the impulse engines getting us away from the Blast zone. "We're clear," Tom said.
"The Hive," I said.
"Gone," Harry said.
"Any Survivor's," Chakotay said.
"None," Tuvok said.
"Get back in orbit around that planet," I said. "Stand down Red Alert," Then I went into my ready room. Then Sat down at my desk.
Not a minute later, the door bell rang.
"Come in," I said.
Then Chakotay and Tuvok came in.
"Captain, What was that?" Chakotay said.
"What was what?" I said.
"You just going straight for the Kill like that," Chakotay said.
"I agreed, Starfleet Regulations would never allow that," Tuvok said.
"Well, That call was made about the Wraith before Starfleet or the Federation even existed," I said.
"Wraith," Chakotay said.
"What we just fought out there, Those were the Wraith, And if we left they would have went after that planet with all of those lifesigns on," I said.
"For what purpose?" Tuvok said.
"To feed. The Wraith feed on people. Their life energy," I Said.
"Like what vampires," Chakotay said.
"Yes," I said. "But they have these mouth things on their hands which they use to suck the life out of you. Like think someone as young as Kes then the Wraith get you, You'll ended up as old as a grandfather who is about to die or a corpse,"
"Senior officers to the bridge," Tom said.
Then we headed out.
"Report," I said.
"We've picked up a small craft, Looks to be an escape pod," Harry said.
"From what," I said.
"The Hive," Harry said. "1 lifesign weak,"
I can't let that aboard this ship.
"Captain, We have to help," Chakotay said.
"Fine, Tuvok get a security team down to sickbay," I said.
"Aye Captain," Tuvok said.
"Bridge to Sickbay," I said.
"Go ahead Captain," Doc said.
"Keep Kes away from a Wraith we are beaming to sickbay and place a forcefield around the Bio-bed and Keep Kes away from it at all times," I said.
"Acknowledged," Doc said.
"Security team down there, Captain," Tuvok said.
"Energize," I said.
"Transport complete," Harry said.
"Chakotay," I said.
"Aye captain," Chakotay said.
Then Chakotay Headed down there.
"Take us back to the Planet, Paris," I said.
"Aye Captain," Tom said.
Putting us back for the planet.
"We should there in 10 minutes," Tom said.
"Harry, Get everything back up to 100%. And keeps scanning for more ships," I said.
"Aye Captain," Harry said.
"Lt. As soon as you have your teams working on repairs we go back down and continue where we left off," I said.
"Understood," Torres said.
XXX
10 minutes later, and we were back in orbit around the planet.
"Tuvok, Bridge is yours, Torres get you team together," I said.
"Aye Captain," Tuvok said.
"Already on it," Torres said.
"Chakotay to McCall," Chakotay said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"Captain, I think you better get down here, This is something you have to see to believe," Chakotay said.
"Acknowledged, On my way," I said.
Then I left the Bridge and headed down to Deck 5 then to Sickbay. Where Chakotay waited for me by the the entrance.
"What is it Commander," I said.
"You have to see first," Chakotay said.
Then we headed in.
Then I saw the Wraith on the bio-bed. It was a girl. Just a kid.
"She's at least 6 years old, What are we going to do," Chakotay said.
I can't kill a kid no matter what species they are.
"We also found some kind of serum in her blood stream. The Doctor has no idea what it is meant to do," Chakotay said.
What am I going to do. I can't kill a child, Wraith or not. What is the difference if I kill her. I would be no better than the Wraith.
"So what are we going to do with Her, Kill her," Chakotay said.
"No," I said.
"What?" Chakotay said.
"How does that make me different from the Wraith if I kill kids. Wraith do that just so they can feed. How does that make me any different if I kill her just because she's a Wraith," I said.
"I thought," Chakotay said.
"You though I would kill her just because if her being Wraith. There's a limit how far people can go," I said.
"I thought you said that they only feed like that," Chakotay said.
"Not at that age, When they became Adults they do, Basically like our form of Puberty," I said. "Till then they eat normal food like us,"
"What are we going to do then," Chakotay said.
"We can't just leave her, She'll die," I said.
"So you think about getting someone here to look after her," Chakotay said.
"Yes, We can't take her back to her people, They just use what happened as means to get her to hate and want feed off us," I said.
"So who," Chakotay said.
"I'll need to think about that, Till I'll make the call she'll still here," I said.
"Agreed," Chakotay said. "But what do we do when she started to feed like that,"
"I don't know, But We still have no idea what that serum in her is doing to her," I said.
"I have the Doctor do a full blood tests on it," Chakotay said.
"Good," I said.
"Torres to McCall," Torres said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"We're ready to beam down," Torres said.
"On my way," I said. "Do what you need to know what that stuff is, Even if you have to beam dead Wraith to find out and just in case they are still alive set phasers to kill, They are really hard to stun,"
"Understood," Chakotay said.
Then I left and head to the Transport room where we beamed down again and we made our way to the control room where I powered everything back up. Then we split up again.
Torres and I went back to the room where we found those components. Then Torres started to see if they were compatible with Voyager.
XXX
After a few minutes.
"Captain, I've completed my scans," B'Elanna said.
"And?" I said.
"We can use these on Voyager," B'Elanna said.
"Good. Let's see if Harry has got anything," I said.
Then we headed back to the control room where Harry was working on the database.
"How's it going, Harry?" I said.
"Not good captain. The translation program we use can't translate the language," Harry said.
"Maybe the SGC database can," I said.
"That's what I was thinking. If I could get access to it once we got back to Voyager, I maybe be able to to translate this," Harry said.
"Is it clear," I said.
"Yes, Nothing that would harm the main computer," Harry said.
"Download it," I said.
"Aye Captain, But Captain," Harry said.
"Yes," I said.
"How a look at this," Harry said.
"What is it?" I said.
"I saw a power spike coming from this area," Harry said.
"That's not far from where B'Elanna and I was," I said. "Download the data, B'Elanna with me,"
Then we went back to that way. Then went down the other corridor and we found another door.
"This is where Harry saw that power surge," B'Elanna said.
"Then Let's see what's in there," I said.
Then I moved to the Door control and opened the door.
Then we went in and I saw a control panel and Something in the middle.
"No, Wait," I said.
Then I moved over and took the top of it. Then went back to the Control panel and released the power source. Then a crystal came up.
"No, It can't be," I said.
"Captain, What is that," B'Elanna said.
"It's ZPM," I said.
"A what?" B'Elanna said.
"A Zero Point Module," I said.
"How much can it hold," B'Elanna said.
"It holds a crap ton of power. The Ancients were the ones that created the ZPM's. It extracts vacuum energy from an artificial region of subspace time until it maximum entropy, 3 of them can hold back a ocean for 10000 years, Pressure of several hundred feet. Just one of these can power Voyager's shields, weapons, warp drive, for some time, But We wouldn't know till we start trying," I said.
"If I can get enough detailed scans and use come of the components I could maybe make another one of this on Voyager," Torres said.
"Get on it," I said.
"Aye Captain," B'Elanna said,
Then I went look around and found more. "Holy shit," I said,
"What," B'Elanna said coming over.
"There is more," I said.
"Wow," B'Elanna said.
"How many are there," I said.
"From this at least 12," B'Elanna said.
"12 ZPM's," I said.
"If we got those to Voyager, We may only need to look for Dilithium for the Warp core," Torres said.
"One thing at a time, B'Elanna," I said.
"I'll get back to the scans then," B'Elanna said going back. I walked on and found no it can't be. 10 Naquadah reactor 5 Mk1 generators and 5 Mk2 Generators.
"Kim to McCall," Harry said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"I could use some help back here," Harry said.
"On my way," I said moving back to B'Elanna. "I'm heading back to Harry, Can you handle this,"
"Go, I'll be fine," Torres said.
"Back before you know it," I said.
Then I went back to Harry.
Once got there.
"What is it Harry," I said.
"I managed to get everything," Harry said.
"Good get back to Voyager, I'll get you that access code once I get back," I said.
"On it," Harry said.
Then He left and I headed back to B'Elanna.
"Harry is back on Voyager," I said.
"He got the data then," B'Elanna said.
"Yes," I said. "How's your end?"
"I'm almost done, But it would take at least a week," B'Elanna said.
"To get that ready on Voyager and test it," I said.
"Yes, Then try to work it up to help run some of our systems," B'Elanna said.
"How long Max?" I said.
"10 days," B'Elanna said.
"10 Days, staying here," I said.
"Yes, till we know if it fully works and it will give us enough time to get all these things on Voyager," B'Elanna said.
"Is that best timeframe you got," I said.
"Afraid so," B'Elanna said. "Captain, I just trying to figure out how this all work if Harry can get the Translate it maybe contain how I can tap this into Voyager, But till then, that's the best I can give you,"
"Get on it," I said.
"Aye captain," Torres said.
"I'll be back on Voyager see what we can use everything for," I said. Turning to head to the Transport site.
"Captain, What was it Chakotay wanted you in Sickbay for, The Wraith?" Torres said.
"It's a kid, A Girl, 6 years old," I said.
"Isn't she not a danger to us," Torres said.
"No, Not for at least 10 years," I said.
"So what are we going to do?" Torres said.
"I'm working on it, But we can't leave her because she'll die, Can't take her back to the other Wraith, Just to be filled up with rage and want to feed on every single one of us. So our only option is to take her with us," I said.
"Then who is going to look after her," Torres said.
"Working on it," I said.
Then I left and headed back to the transport site and beamed up.
Where I was met by Chakotay.
"Welcome back, Captain," Chakotay said.
"How'd it go," I said.
"The Doctor managed to complete 2 test on the dead wraith we brought on board and they were dead. But the Doctor couldn't picked up the same serum in them as it was in the girl," Chakotay said.
"Has she woken up yet?" I said.
"No, But we still have no idea what that serum is meant to do," Chakotay said.
"The Dead Wraith," I said.
"Cold storage, Just in case the Doctor need to find out anything else," Chakotay said.
"Has Tuvok picked up any other ships," I said.
"None looks to be the only ships here," Chakotay said.
"Yes, but how did that Hive get into our galaxy, If I remember right Their hyperdrive can't make it to other galaxies. So how did they make it here," I said.
"No idea," Chakotay said.
"So we have no idea what that serum is meant to be doing to the girl, Maybe she could tell us when she wakes up," I said.
"How you made the call who is going to look after her," Chakotay said.
"I hate saying it, But I think I should, I know more on the wraith than anyone right now, That would help," I said.
"So you want to look after the girl," Chakotay said. "I thought you hate wraith,"
"I do, But let's be honest, That girl she is just a kid, Wraith or not I can't kill her just because of that, Plus I hate more of those wraith that was fighting us then her right now," I said.
"I have the Doctor trying to find any human DNA," Chakotay said.
"What you think that humans have been what mating with them," I said.
"Maybe I don't know, But if there is we should know," Chakotay said.
"Fine, Let me know when he calls," I said.
"Understood," Chakotay said.
Then I went to the bridge where Harry was and I got him set up to access it.
"There. That should get you the translation," I said.
"I get to work on it," Harry said.
"Give anything to B'Elanna about the technology down there," I said.
"Got it," Harry said.
"What is the time?" I said.
"1700," Harry said.
"Damn been a long day," I said. "Call B'Elanna at 1900, I don't want anyone down there after that,"
"I'll contact her and let her know," Harry said.
"Tuvok the bridge is yours, I'm going off duty," I said.
"Understood, good night, Captain," Tuvok said.
"Night, Tuvok," I said leaving the bridge and headed down to the Mess hall.
Once there.
"Captain, Are you here for something to eat," Neelix said.
"Yeap," I said.
"Give me a minute and I'll get you one," Neelix said.
"Thanks," I said.
"I heard about the planet, Alot of new Technology," Neelix said.
"Yeah, Actually, Voyager will use that tech to defend itself," I said.
Then I went and sat down. As Neelix brought it over.
"At least it will raise the crew morale," Neelix said.
"Hopefully," I said.
"Captain is something wrong?" Neelix said.
"I'm not sure yet," I said. "But we are going to be here for at least a week, Looks like you are going have the Holodecks booked up,"
"I see to it, Captain, What about the young wraith," Neelix said.
"Nothing, She still hasn't woken up yet," I said.
Then Neelix left. Only for me to finish my dinner 10 minutes later. Then I got up and headed for my quarters. Where I started to make a room for the Girl, God I would rather know her name that just calling girl.
Once I got a bed setup for her. I went back to the main room and I sat down and turned on my PS4 and TV. Then went and started GTA 5.
XXX
2 Days later. We have started to get the Components over to Voyager, As well as the Naquadah Generators, But now B'Elanna has started to build the ZPM module on Voyager with the information that Harry translated. But now, I have to beam down since they think that they have found another room but needs me to open it.
So I just made it to the Transporter room and beamed down and headed in. Where I met up with Ensign Lindsay Ballard.
"What have you found," I said.
"It's another room Captain, but we can't get into it to see what is in there," Lindsay said.
"And we can't get anything with a tricorder," I said.
"No, Sir," Lindsay said. "We can't even detect if anything is in there,"
"Well once we get it open we will find out," I said.
Then we made it to the door and I went and opened the door, then Lindsay went in.
"Oh my god, Captain, you need to see this," Lindsay said.
"What is it," I said.
"Ships," Lindsay said.
"What," I said going in and saw them. "Those aren't just ships, Those are Puddlejumpers,"
"What," Lindsay said.
"Doesn't matter, Get them beamed up to Voyager's shuttlebay," I said.
"Yes, Sir," Lindsay said.
Then I head towards the first room we came across and Saw the Drones, But also a control chair.
"Captain," Tuvok said.
"Yes, Tuvok," I said.
"I saw you looking at these devices," Tuvok said.
"Yes, well, I want you to get these up to Voyager but I need this where I would normally sit on the bridge," I said.
"I see that Lt. Torres get to work once she is finished with the other task," Tuvok said.
"Good, I want these drones in the Torpedo bays," I said.
"You know what they are," Tuvok said.
"Ancient's weapons good at dealing with the wraith," I said.
"Understood," Tuvok said.
"Good," I said.
But Tuvok was still standing there.
"Is there something else Tuvok," I said.
"Commander Chakotay contacted just before I entered," Tuvok said.
"What is it?" I said.
"Commander Chakotay needs to see you back on Voyager in Sickbay," Tuvok said.
"Is she awake?" I said.
"No," Tuvok said.
"I'll be back on Voyager, Stay here with the others," I said.
"Aye Captain," Tuvok said.
Then I went and beamed up.
Then I went to Deck 5 and went to Sickbay.
Then Heading in.
"I heard you wanted me," I said.
"Yes, The Doctor has finished his blood test," Chakotay said.
"Doctor," I said.
"As the Commander said. I have completed the blood test and found human DNA," Doctor said.
"What," I said.
"There is more. There are traces of more than one Human DNA," Doctor said.
"Is there a match," I said.
"Yes, It is even someone on this ship," Doctor said.
"What, Who," I said.
"Captain, It's you," Doctor said.
"What, How is that even possible," I said.
"I don't know, But there is another DNA but I can't get a match," Doctor said.
"Have you compared it to the SGC database," I said.
"We can't get in to the Medical files," Kes said.
"Computer, Allow access to SGC medical files to sickbay computer Authorization McCall Alpha 9 Charlie 6," I said.
"Access granted, Medical files now accessible from Sickbay," Computer said.
"Try now," I said.
"Got it, Wait its 2 matches," Doctor said.
"Who's," I said.
"A woman Teyla Shepherd," Doctor said. "And a Man John,"
"Shepherd," I said.
"Yes," Doctor said.
Then I moved over and saw both Teyla and John, My uncle.
"How did you know?" Doctor said.
"I knew a uncle with that same name," I said. "He even looked like him,"
"I can't tell how far it goes but It is connected to your DNA," Doctor said.
"So what does that make me," I said.
"Her Family, Even possible the only chance of a father," Doctor said.
"Who else know this," I said.
"No one expect us 4," Chakotay said.
"Then let's keep it like that," I said. "Any idea when she will wake up,"
"Not yet, Another day at least," Doctor said.
"Torres to McCall," B'Elanna said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"Captain, We managed to beam all but one up we need you down here to get it up to Voyager," B'Elanna said.
"On my way," I said.
Then I left Sickbay and went down to the Transporter room and Beamed down where there I went and met up with B'Elanna and Tuvok.
"Where is everyone else?" I said.
"Back on Voyager," Tuvok said.
"Let's go then," I said.
Then we went and got into the last Puddle-Jumper. Then I went and sat down as the control lit up and B'Elanna closed the rear hatch.
"We're ready," B'Elanna said. Coming in and sitting down.
Then I fired up the engines and took us out and headed up to Voyager.
"Strangle, I don't see any sensor," Tuvok said.
"Me too," I said. Then the HUD came up with the information.
"Did you do that," B'Elanna said.
"I was thinking about it, Let's see what else this can do," I said. Then We heard a noise then nothing.
"Voyager to McCall," Chakotay said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"Captain, Where are you?" Chakotay said.
"What you mean, we coming up on Voyager in 1 minute," I said.
"Captain, You disappeared from our sensors and we can't pick you up at that distance, It was like you vanished into thin air," Harry said.
"Oh Shit, Hold on," I said Then Powered down the Cloak. "Well,"
"You back on Sensors and you have reappeared," Kat said.
"Sorry, I kind of forgot that the Jumpers had a cloak," I said.
"What," Chakotay said.
"I've never seen a cloak like that w could even picked you up with the way we pick up the Romulans," Harry said.
"Harry, your forgetting Ancient Cloak, Not really going to have those kind of issues to sort out," I said.
"Good point," Harry said.
"Open up the bay doors, We coming home," I said.
"There already are," Chakotay said.
Then the Channel closed.
"Captain, You know cloaking technology was," Tuvok said.
"Consider that over, This is ancient Technology and right now we need this tech out here," I said.
"Maybe we can try and adapt it to Voyager," B'Elanna said.
"Getting working on it," I said. "It will come in handy if we see the Borg,"
Then we go into the shuttle bay and set down and powered down as the Doors closed and the bay repressurized.
XXX
The rest of that day was not really eventful. And I got Chakotay, Kat and Tuvok on board with what I have B'Elanna doing with the Ancient Cloak.
I went to bed that night too, But the girl still haven't woken up.
The Doctor said that she may wake up tomorrow. Just gotta wait and see.
When that morning came I was just up and showered and was getting into my Uniform when.
"Doctor to the Captain," Doc said.
"Go ahead doc," I said.
"She is wake," Doc said.
"On my way, McCall out," I said.
Then I finished getting dressed and headed out to the turbo-lift and down to Deck 5 and into Sickbay and I saw her up looking around from the Bio-bed.
"Hi," I said. Then she moved back. "Easy, I'm not going to hurt you," Nodding to the 2 security officer to put down the phasers. Then moved back. "No one here is,"
"Why?" She said. "Why not? I'm a Wraith,"
"What's that got to do with anything? If we did we would be no better than the Wraith," I said.
"Who are you? Where am I?" She said.
"Scott McCall, Your on my Ship, Federation starship Voyager," I said. "What about you?"
"I don't have a name, To those Wraith I was not but an experiment," She said.
"What kind of experiment," I said.
"It stop wraith needing to feed," She said.
"Are you saying you can't feed," I said.
"Yes, It's the serum in me," She said.
"How long does it last," I said.
"They said forever. Meaning I can't ever feed," She said.
A Wraith that can't feed, It's not impossible too. Not after Michael.
"What are you going to do with me?" She said.
"Do you want to stay," I said.
But she didn't answer.
"It's okay, I don't need an answer straight away," I said.
"Torres to McCall," Torres said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"Captain, I need to see you in Engineering," Torres said.
"On my way," I said. Closing the channel. "I need to go, You will be safe here," Then I headed out of Sickbay and down to engineering.
XXX
Once I finally got there.
"B'Elanna," I said.
"Over here," Torres said.
"Well," I said.
"We are ready to try powering it up," Torres said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"Firing it up in 3, 2, 1," Torres said starting to up. Which went well.
"Well?" I said.
"Power levels are holding no sign of a overload or power surge," Torres said.
"How long till we can use this for Voyager Main power instead of the Warp core," I said.
"We are going have to run diagnostics so I can't give you an estimate," Torres said.
"Get working on it," I said.
"Aye Captain," Torres said.
Then I headed up to the Bridge. Where Chakotay was.
"Commander," I said.
Then I walked into my ready room. As Chakotay followed me in as the door closed.
"So how'd the talk go," Chakotay said.
"She was an experiment," I said.
"What?" Chakotay said.
"Apparently the Wraith was looking for a way so that they don't have to feed like the way I told you, That girl in sickbay was the test subject, The Doctor even said that it wasn't breaking down in her bloodstream. And what she said to me is that it was permanent too, She can never feed like that," I said.
"So what do we do?" Chakotay said.
"If she wants to stay. Then," I said.
"And if she doesn't," Chakotay said.
"Then we deal with that went it comes to that," I said.
Then he left and Tuvok came in.
"Lt," I said.
"We have everything on board and beamed all components to Cargo bay. The Drones as you call them are in the Torpedo bays ready to go," Tuvok said.
"The Chair," I said.
"That's the problem for now, Till Lt. Torres is finished with her job and Mr. Kim still translating the database, It could take a bit more time," Tuvok said.
"Still I want the chair done when Torres is done," I said.
"Understood," Tuvok said.
"But that is everything from the planet," I said.
"Yes, Apart from the room with the glowing crystals," Tuvok said.
"ZPM's," I said. "I want an area to get them up too,"
"There is an area empty nearby Engineering we could use to store the ZPM's," Tuvok said.
"Good and I want only senior staff to have access to that room," I said.
"Understood," Tuvok said.
"Dismissed," I said. Then Tuvok left.
XXX
After a few hours.
"Torres to McCall," Torres said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"Captain, I've completed the Diagnostics on the ZPM power generator," Torres said.
"And," I said.
"Very thing is good to go, We can place a max of 3 ZPM's in at once, But I recommend only if we really need it," Torres said.
"Understood, Now I assume you have been told," I said.
"Yes, I'll get to work on the chair once Harry has completed translate of the Database," Torres said.
"Could you at least get it ready," I said.
"I'm already grabbing my gear to get working on it now, But you won't have a chair if we get on the move again," Torres said.
"I know that, B'Elanna, Still I want it done," I said.
"Understood, Torres out," Torres said.
Then the Door bell rang.
"Come in," I said.
Then Tuvok came in.
"Tuvok," I said.
"We have all of the ZPM's onboard and are ready to depart," Tuvok said.
"What time is it?" I said.
"1530 hours," Tuvok said.
"Set us for depart for 0700 Tomorrow," I said.
"Understood," Tuvok said.
"Sickbay to the Captain," Doctor said.
"Go ahead, Doc," I said.
"Our friend would like to speak with you," Doctor said.
"On my way, McCall out," I said.
"I believe our guest has made her decision," Tuvok said.
"As do I, Tuvok," I said.
Then I headed out and into the turbolift and went to Deck 5 and walked into Sickbay where I noticed the Security was gone.
"Doctor," I said.
"He went into his Lab," Kes said coming over.
"Why is security gone," I said.
"Doctor ordered them out since we know that she isn't a threat to us," Kes said.
"What about you," I said.
"Neelix and I are over, It just wasn't working anymore," Kes said.
"Since Jetrel," I said.
"Yes," Kes said.
"Sorry," I said.
"It's not your fault," Kes said. "Look could we talk later,"
"Sure, My place, 1900," I said.
"I'll meet you there," Kes said.
Then I went over.
"So I heard you made the choice," I said.
"I wish to stay," She said.
"Where here or the planet," I said.
"Here on this ship," She said.
"Okay," I said.
"But I where would I be staying," She said.
"With me, Since I know more about Wraith than anyone else so far," I said.
"When will we be going," She said.
"In 2 hours," I said.
"Very well," She said.
Then I headed out and went to Engineering.
"B'Elanna," I said.
"Over here," Torres said.
Then I went over to Her who was at the ZPM power matrix.
"Good thing that this is away from any control panel," I said.
"That was where I was using this to do that," Torres said. Showing me the Ancient control panel.
"Good, At least we can use this to access it if needed," I said.
"And it has the same Failsafe's in place if something goes wrong," Torres said.
"Good, Now how did it go with the chair," I said.
"It's in place but we haven't fully got it connected to the power grid," Torres said.
"Why?" I said.
"Because it isn't only going to be on weapons, It's also going to be on Engines, Shields, Sensors, Power distribution," Torres said.
"Basically full control of Voyager if I needed to," I said.
"Yes," Torres said.
"Is it the only way it will work," I said.
"Yes," Torres said.
"Then do it, At least we have a bit of an advantage if we need it," I said. "How is installing the Cloak,"
"Almost done, But it will replace the shields when activated," Torres said.
"I kind of figured that," I said.
"We're taking a huge risk here too, Captain one overload of a ZPM could," Torres said.
"Destroy us, I know, There was a mention of that happening before but stopped it before it could detonate," I said.
"I heard we are leaving tomorrow morning," Torres said.
"Yes and I want everything up and running by then, Have your people run full system diagnostics before we depart," I said.
"I already have people doing them now, I'll have the results in the morning for you," Torres said.
"Good," I said.
"Kim to McCall," Harry said.
"Go ahead, Harry," I said.
"Captain, I need to see you in the Conference room," Harry said.
"On my way, McCall out," I said.
Then I left B'Elanna to her work and took the Turbolift in Engineering to the Bridge and went into the Conference room.
"What you got," I said.
"Information which we could use so more people apart from yourself can have that ATA Gene," Harry said.
"Give it to the Doctor, And Tell I want the sensor staff to go through it first to see if it will work," I said.
"Understood," Harry said.
"We are also leaving tomorrow by 0700, But if you haven't gotten the Diagnostics report from Torres by then take us out of here at Impulse, Otherwise resume course for home Warp 9," I said.
"Aye Captain," Harry said.
"At least she got all that done in 5 days," I said.
"Better than 10 and she even gotten the systems tested out too," Harry said.
"Any other location of outposts," I said.
"Nothing," Harry said. "It's not in the database,"
"Meaning that the Ancients knew that there was a chance the Wraith could get into their systems and find every other outpost," I said.
"That what I came to also," Harry said.
"Computer, what is the time," I said.
"1655 hours," Computer said.
Then I left and found Kat on the Bridge.
"Kat the bridge is yours, I'm clocking off," I said.
"Got it have found," Kat said.
"Very funny," I said. Going to the Turbolift and Went to Deck 5 and into sickbay and She was waiting for me by the bed.
"I was wondering if you were coming," She said.
"Just finished," I said. "Ready to go,"
"Yes," She said.
"Come on," I said.
Then we left sickbay and headed to the turbolift and went to my quarters. Then we went in.
"This is us," I said.
"Where am I staying?" She said.
"In here," I said. Going in there. "Thought it would do for now,"
"But there are no clothes," She said.
"I know though once you got settled we can sort that out," I said. "But I can't keep the fact you not having a name,"
"I know, Since I'm staying here with you why don't you give me one, Since you are family," She said.
"How did you know that," I said.
"One detail that no one knows about Wraith, We can tell who is family or not in our own bloodline," She said.
"Then why did you not say anything before," I said.
"No reason," She said. "So what are you going to call me then,"
"Just anything or something Human," I said.
"Something Human, I've been thinking about changing my face here," She said.
"What for," I said.
"Well, I would look normal true I'm not getting rid of these," She said pointing to the mouths on the hands. "Since well you know what we use to make people stronger,"
"Enzyme," I said.
"Yeah, I can still use that to keep people I care about alive," She said. "So what is going to be my name,"
"How about Clara. And My last name," I said.
"Clara McCall," She said.
"Yes, Well what you think," I said.
"I like it, Scott," Clara said.
"Come on," I said.
"Why what are we doing?" Clara said.
"Getting some food," I said.
"You mean normal food," Clara said.
"Yeap," I said.
"Okay what we having," Clara said.
"Computer 2 Steak and Chips," I said at the replicator. Where it came and I brought it over to the table. "Come on," sitting down.
Clara then came over and sat down. "At least I never stopped eating with this," Clara said.
"Better than sucking the life out of people," I said.
"That is for sure, I don't know why they would keep doing it like that," Clara said.
"Because it not doubt makes them feel superior," I said.
"Maybe but I always thought it could be more than that," Clara said.
"Could be," I said.
While we were eating it was a bit quiet. For a bit.
"So what going on between you and that nurse," Clara said.
"What you mean, Me and Kes," I said.
"I can see that there is something going on with Kes, You like her," Clara said.
"Yeah I do, But she was with Neelix," I said.
"So they broke up, What's the problem, Tell her how you feel about her," Clara said.
"Things do always go like that," I said.
"You will never know if you don't, Maybe she feels the same for you," Clara said.
"Maybe," I said.
"I've been thinking, I may get this face changed to be a bit more human," Clara said.
"Why?" I said.
"Only thing this face is going to remind me of is what they done to me, I going to piss on them alot more by doing that, Plus I can't feed so I don't need gloves for these," Clara said with her hand mouths.
"Only do it if you really want to," I said.
"I am," Clara said.
"But be really sure, We can get the Doc to do that easy enough," I said.
"I know, And I still am sure," Clara said.
"Fine," I said.
Then the door bell rang.
"I'm going to lay down for a bit, Give you some privacy," Clara said ginning at me. Then left to her room.
"Come in," I said.
Then Kes walked in.
"Kes," I said.
"Do you have a minute since you got Company," Kes said.
"Yes, Come on," I said.
Then I sat down on my sofa as did Kes.
"So what is it?" I said.
"Remember I say that Neelix and I broke up," Kes said.
"Yes," I said.
"It wasn't just since after Jetrel, We have been breaking apart for a while, I just knew it faster than Neelix. But that's why I'm here?" Kes said.
"For what?" I said.
Kes didn't say anything. But just came over and kissed me wrapping her arms around my neck. I knew that I couldn't kiss her back, I felt this way about her since we first met, but it gotten to be more when Jetrel happened. I ended up kissing her and wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her till she was sitting on my lap. Which was where we broke and had our heads against each other.
"I always wondering if you felt the same," I said.
"Me too," Kes said.
"When," I said.
"Since we met but it gotten bigger when Jetrel showed up," Kes said.
"That was the same with me too," I said.
As we laid back on the Sofa Kes hugged into my side.
"How's?" Kes said.
"Clara, She is fine," I said.
"Wait did you name her that," Kes said.
"Yeah, She knew we were family, apparently they are able to tell how is family and who is not," I said.
"And she wanted you to chose it," Kes said.
"Yeah, She even liked it," I said.
"I wish I could stay but." Kes said.
"I know. Why don't you meet me here for Breakfast," I said.
"Sure, I'll meet you then," Kes said.
As we got up.
"Scott," Kes said.
I turned to see her who Kissed me again before leaving.
Then I went and got ready for bed and went back to the sofa and fired up the PS4 and screen.
I went on Fallout 76 and started to play that going through exploring areas. Then I didn't see Clara come out and she sat down next to me.
"Jeez," I said.
"Sorry," Clara said.
"What is it?" I said.
"Just wanting to see what you were doing, Plus I told you so," Clara said.
"With?" I said.
"With Kes, I knew it," Clara said.
"Alright knock it off you," I said.
"Okay, Fine," Clara said.
XXX
I stopped at 9 and Clara was asleep against me. So I picked her up and took her to her room and put her into bed. Before I went and got ready and into bed myself.
But before I fell asleep, Clara walked in.
"Hey," I said.
"Can I stay with you, I don't want to be alone," Clara said.
"Come on," I said.
Then Clara climbed in and laid back.
"Night, Clara," I said.
"Night Scott," Clara said snugged into me.
Then we feel asleep.
That's all for this chapter.
More to follow.
Stay tuned and safe.
Love Y'all
PEACE!
