Ch. 2

The court ended earlier than usual because of a distress call from Vulcan. I tried my best to find the the cadet and the commander after the craziness of everyone trying to leave the auditorium, but I came to no avail. I decided to wait until after our mission to confront them both about earlier. I was walking to the loading dock of the U.S.S Marion when I heard my name behind me.

"Hey Susan, Did you not hear the news?" Said Cassie as she ran up to me.

"What news?" I said turning to face her directly. She looked happy. Ecstatic None the less.

"We were reassigned...to the Enterprise!" she said jumping up and down with glee. My jaw dropped. The Enterprise? Me? I embraced her in a hug before we started our way to the Enterprise loading dock. We found the shuttles and continued to check in.

"Lieutenant Commander Jones" I told the officer checking names.

"Welcome to the crew" he said nodding in my direction.

"Lieutenant Moore." I heard behind me. I stopped paying attention when I started up the steps to the shuttle. I choose seats closer to the middle. Cassie found me easily. We were the only 2 in officers black. I looked around the shuttle. I caught the eye of several cadets. They whispered to themselves all the way up until the shuttle took off. It only took us about 30 minutes until we were out of earths atmosphere and on the U.S.S Enterprise. I was now changed out of my officers uniform to the red regulation engineering uniform. I walked onto the bridge a bit nervous. Cassie worked in the lower decks so I was on my own. When I arrived I knew where my station was, but I took my time getting there. I took in the scene in front of me. The upgraded ship was amazing. A roomier bridge that could hold more members of the crew, they upgraded the system with more accurate radars and equipment. As I got closer to my destination, I came across the captains chair. It was sleek, commanding. I knew, no matter what planet I lived on...captain was never in my near future.

"Keptin on ze bridge!" yelled the young Russian navigator. I rushed away from the captains chair and to my station.

"Lieutenant Commander." I heard next to me. I looked up.

"Commander." I said smiling up to Spock. "do you mind of I have a quick word with you?" I said standing up. I was noticeably shorter than him.

"Sure. What might this be about?" he said. He clasped his hands in front of him.

"Well its about earlier, before the court? I saw you and the cadet running down the hallway, the-" before I finished I heard Captain Pike call for maximum warp. I looked up. The young helmsman pushed the lever down fully. It took a minute until we realized, We were not moving.

"helmsman what's wrong?" I heard Pike call. Slight irritation in his voice.

"Umm, I'm not sure captain. Give me just a minu-" he said tapping rapidly at the screen.

"Is the parking break on?" asked the captain.

"uhh no sir. I'm not exactly sure.."

"where's helmsman Wallace?" he said. His head now in his hands.

"he has lungworm sir. I'm Hikaru Sulu." he said as he continued to tap on his screen.

"and you are a pilot right?" Pike asked.

"Very much so sir." he said as he continued to tap on the screen.

" Have you disengaged the external inertial dampener?" asked Spock. Sulu flushed a little as he typed a few commands into the screen in front of him.

"Ready for warp sir." he said, the embarrassment still present in his face.

"Punch it." said Pike. Then we were off. I turned my attention back to Spock as the young Ensign made a ship wide announcement.

"Anyway commander, about earlier. You and the cadet were running down the hallway one minute, you were in cadet red, he elbowed you in the side, and the next minute I'm in the auditorium and you're both there in front of me." I said waiting.

"well that is strange being as though I was in the auditorium the entire time after we ran into each other in front of your room. What you speak of Lieutenant, never happened to my knowledge." he said. he cocked his head to the left a little. "are you alright?" he said eying me a bit.

"Yes commander. I'm fine." I said sitting back down in my chair. I must have been imagining things. i decided to clear my head and work on the project at hand. A few minutes later I hear the sound of pounding footsteps.

"Jim get back here!" said a man with a strong southern accent. That's when I saw him. The cadet ran onto the bridge, followed by a friend of mine Dr. McCoy, and a young petite woman. When Spock eyed her, he immediately stood from his chair.

"Captain! Vulcans not experiencing a natural disaster. Its being attacked by Romulans." he said. His face was firm, sure.

"With what proof?" said Pike. Obvious signs of shock on his face.

"Sir, the cadet does not have the clearance to be aboard this ship, if I may, I could remove the cadet a-" said Spock. His hate towards Kirk noticeable.

"Try it! This cadet is trying to save this ship!" he said challenging Spock.

"Spock that's enough, what are you talking about?" said Pike.

"That same anomaly, a lightning storm in space, happened the day of my birth. The day my father was killed. They were attacked by Romulans in 1 massive ship. That ship was never heard from or seen again, you know that sir. I read your dissertation. At 2300 last night, a transmission was picked up between Klingons, 42 warbirds destroyed by Romulans in 1 massive ship." he finished.

"how do you know that cadet?" said Pike. Kirk turned and looked to the woman standing by Spock.

"I received and translated the message myself sir, Kirks report is accurate." she said. Pike turned to Spock.

"The cadets logic is sound. And Cadet Uhura is unmatched in Xenolinguistics. It would be wise to accept her conclusion." he said. I knew by the way Spock spit his words out he wasn't happy about the situation.

"Shields up, red alert." said Pike sitting back In his chair. I looked to the cadet. His face was determined. His eyes wondered around the bridge, until they landed on mine. He looked into them, I stared back. There was something different about this cadet. His eyes didn't have the same heartbreak and hurt they did earlier. It was kind of like I was looking at a whole other person. I looked away.

"we will be arriving at Vulcan in 3, 2, 1." said Sulu. When we dropped out of warp, the most horrifying scene took place In front of my eyes. That's when all Hell broke loose.
