Star Trek 3: Khitomer

by Matthew1985

For those who read my original story called Khitomer, may be surprised that this subject is brought up again. Some characters may be featured as cameos; others to broaden the story.

Chapter 6:

Recovery

"Captain?" Kirk was sitting in his command chair. "Go ahead, Bones." "Our Klingon friend is all right. His family is with him." Kirk thanked his CMO and said, "I'll be down there momentarily, Kirk out."

James looked at Sulu, "Lt, scan for Romulan ships, cloaked or otherwise." "Scanning. Sensors detect several ion trails." "Hail them." Uhura obeyed. "This is the starship Enterprise, Captain James T. Kirk commanding. Please respond." A Romulan Warbird decloaked and the face of its captain was seen. "I am Tamalok, of the Romulan Star Empire. Why are you here?" "Your mission is over, Commander. Ja'rod is dead. Leave this system immediately." "Make us leave." Kirk pressed a button on his wrist. "Oh, I will! And I'm not the only one."

Out in space, ships from the future come to aid in the attempt to rid the Romulans. "These ships I've signaled, with the help of my superior, Admiral William Smillie. So, I ask you again to kindly leave this system and stay away from this outpost." "You may have won this time, but next time, you may not be so lucky." "We'll see."

The Romulan warbird captain signaled his other ships to leave the system. "Khitomer outpost is safe from the tragedy, Captain." Uhura stood up and said, "Well done, sir." Kirk said, "To all of us."

Sulu got a sensor reading. "Captain, a ship is hailing us. From the readings, it's the Enterprise" "Onscreen." The face was unrecognizable. "Captain Kirk, I'm Captain John Harriman. This is Captains Garrett and Captain Picard." Kirk nodded to both future captains of the flagship. "We were sent by your Ambassador Spock of Vulcan and Q to ascertain the Romulan presence in this system. Are you in need of assistance?" "No, thank you, Captain Harriman. But I would like to meet you on your Ten-Forward, Captain Picard for some refreshments and intel." "The Enterprise would be delighted to have you aboard, Captain Kirk."

"Bones, bring your patient to the transporter room." "Aye, sir." "Scotty, set coordinates for the Enterprise D." "Aye, sir." Mogh joined them and beamed over to the Enterprise D's transporter room. "Welcome aboard the Enterprise, Captain Kirk." "Thank you, Captain Picard. This is Mogh, of the Klingon Empire." Picard stopped for a minute. "I see. I believe I have an officer you should meet, sir." "Please."
