The Legend of Korra: The Ship
Chapter One and a Half
Weeks later...
Commander William T. Riker was on the scouting away team as they tried to figure out what had happened to the survey craft which had some how crashed landed on this planet about fifty years ago. The crew had been picked up but they had figured the ship had been lost, only for the beacon to be activated a few weeks ago. The Enterprise had been the ship closest to the sector the distress called had been pin pointed to, which explained the away team.
'The people of this world seemed to be of a mixed asian heritage if not completely in appearance, going through a period unlike the early twentith century. It wasn't till we got down to the planet we got the biggest surprise to this environment.' thought Riker as he looked Lieutenant Commander Data, who had been physically altered to better match the people of this world. Interesting enough it seemed people here did have a similar gold eyes as the command and the dark hair. It was just a matter of making his bleached skin more... tanned.
Data was secretly bring out the tricorder and scanning the sporting match they were viewing before them. Something called Pro-bending. The interest was the fact all of the atheletes were manipulating fire, water and earth in various manners. Riker was looking for the answers from Data when they left the building. Which when Data nodded, they followed him out so they could discuss things more openly. They had managed to replicate some of the gold coins used by the population as well as the paper money to allow them to learn more about the planet's society. Which had gotten them a room and into the Pro-bending match.
In the safety of the streets, with few people around, Data began to speak.
"Certain inhabitants of this planet seem to have the power to telekinetically manipulate certain aspects of matter, based around the ancient view of the elements. Water, Fire, Earth and likely Air. I have no genetic base for the ability but have detected energy fluxes in the people who have used them. A medical tricorder might have more success in scanning this then my science tricorder, just as the sickbay in the ship might be able to better scan then a tricorder.
In a report I would recommend the use of an observation team to research the people here and their development.
However, it does not seem to offer any hints on what has happened with the survey ship. They only fact is it is close to this city and its government. Perhaps more can be observed at the City Hall." offered Data as he pointed out the logical course of action.
"We might have to be careful Data, since the people of this planet might have more mental powers then just limited focus telekinesis. Including telepathy and the ability to read minds. While we're trying to gain information on them, they could be getting information on us.
We might want to send someone out to a library to dig up more on the history of this world. Including this bending of the elements. Still if they have telepathic powers they shouldn't be able to get much from you, making you an excellent spy Mr. Data." said Riker as he smiled a little at the comment, yet still serious on the mission.
The Prime Directive was clear. Normally they would avoid direct contact with this developing civilization until it developed it's own Warp Drive. The acceptions to the Prime Directive was limited but clear in this case. Advance technology and knowledge had contaminated this planet, now they had to clean it up.
Elsewhere...
Korra was looking at the notes which Tenzin had gained and kept in his office in the City Hall, the same place he had asked her to sit and read them. They had gotten more of the thinking machines up and running, including the crew manifests. It included a number of alien people, but what surprised her were the number of humans in the crew listing.
'The idea we're not the only group of humans in the universe... this might be the most shocking information our world can face. Especially without any references of bending art forms in any of the information collections. An entire race of human beings who are all non-benders in massive numbers... lucky the Equalists are not at full power. This might have accellerated Amon's march for removing bending with his bloodbending. As it is, this could cause them to reassemble in some form. Emboldened by the idea of these non-benders.' thought Korra as she realized the troubles, her time in Republic City enlightening her to the subtles of politics.
'The other alien life forms are not going to make them feel any better. Blue skin, forehead ridges and touch telepathy? Not something people are use to, even with the changes which have happened in our history." Korra sighed and tried to think of the best way to drop the information on the people of her world as the Avatar.
'Hopefully we have all of the possible information leaks plugged up, keeping the news from dripping out while we figure out what to do. However, if Tenzin is right Hiroshi Sato had information on the ship, enough for him to experiment with. Asami has those details right now and hopefully can make the most of them. Hiroshi knows and who knows who he has told... or if he even told people. He's in prison now. We at least know who he's talking to now.' thought the young Water Tribal as she continued her read.
In Prison...
Hiroshi Sato sat in his cell, wanting to get out of the prison and take revenge on the benders who had ruined his life and twisted his daughter's mind. Still he had a few cards left to play. Like the knowledge of the strange ship the so-called Council of United Republic keep under wraps. With Amon gone and unmasked as a damned bender, the technology on that ship might be the only thing which could be used to equalize the planet and remove the curse of bending from the world.
Which was why the genius was looking at his cell, working out the weakness of the cell and the prison around it. Getting knowledge of the routines of the personal, the resources available and the stress points of the buildings. Looking for the perfect moment to escape and find a way to the ship so he could get it's potential for his plans.
'Once I have the science of the ship, I will have the ability to change the order of the world. Forcing the benders into the oppressed position before the rest of us normal people.'
In space...
The Enterprise was not the only ones tracking the survey ship's distress call. Out of range of the Federation ship was another spaceship locating the downed ship and finding the planet of the superpowered beings. People who could become living weapons with the right scientific study. The question now was how to get the Galaxy-class ship out of the system long enough for a capture of enough of the superpowered population so they could replicate the abilities they had seen from a cloaked ship.
The alien ship was also worried the saucer and pylons ship would swoop in and get some of their own sample of the population for their research purposes. Which was why the other ship was waiting and watching for the actions of the Enterprise. All the while preparing all of their weapons and shields for the time it came to battle for the power this planet held. they watched, hands on their sheathed daggers, and planned their next actions for the glory of their people.
