Ch. 3
We maneuvered around the debris of 7 other federation ships. One including the U.S.S Marion. When we were positioned in front of the Romulan vessel, the shooting stopped.
"Captain, we're being hailed." said the recently promoted Lieutenant.
"project it on the main screen." said Pike. She typed a few commands on her keyboard. A few seconds later, the image of a male Romulan appeared in front of us. I stopped listening and turned my attentions to the cadet. He stood firm, commanding. Its like I've seen him like this before. I narrowed my eyes and tried to remember. All of a sudden I was transported to a different time. I saw the cadet standing in the bridge of a large federation vessel. His face was scared. Stress Lines were formed on various places on his face. He looked exactly like the cadet I saw in the hallway this morning.
"Susan I love you." he said into a com. I froze. "I love you!" he screamed into it. The com cut off right in the middle of his sentence. He dropped the static filled com to the ground and looked around the room. That's when he broke. He dropped to his knees and burried his head in his hands. He shook with anger, hurt, heartbreak. No one around him moved. They sat there and watched.
"Captain, we have to alert Starfleet" said Spock. He moved towards him and knelt in front of him. Kirk looked up. His lower jaw was bruised and swollen as if he was just recently punched. His eyes were red and puffy. He stood up.
"Uhura, contact Starfleet and let them know were stranded, Chekov ask Scotty of he's identified the problem yet." he then turned to Spock. "You have the con" he then walked past Spock without another word. Immediately after he left, I was transported back to my seat of the Enterprise. I was still staring openly at the cadet. He was looking back at me with a puzzled look. He began walking my way when Captain Pike called him.
"Jim you too, you're not supposed to be here anyways. Lieutenant Commander Jones, come with me." I stood up from my seat. We all piled onto the turbo lift. "Jones, those weapons on that ship, what are they?" he asked looking towards me.
"to be honest sir, I'm not sure. The structure is quite complicated. The only thing I could conclude from them were that the weaponry is...futuristic." I said finishing my sentence. We got off the turbo lift and twisted through the long hallways of the Enterprise. We reached another turbo lift when Pike stopped.
"Kirk, Sulu, and Engineer Olsen will space jump from the shuttle and onto the platform thats corrupting our system. Spock your acting captain, Kirk I'm promoting you to first officer." he said looking to Kirk.
"Excuse me?" said Spock. His face never changed.
"you heard me Spock. And Lieutenant Commander Jones, I need you to study those weapons. Get as much information on them as you can." he said
"Aye captain." I took one last look at the newly found Commander. He looked back at me and smiled. I turned my head and returned to my post on the bridge. I reviewed video surveillance of the missiles that were fired at the ship. I studied and studied them. I came to no conclusion. Even the phasers were different. Bigger, more accurate, more firepower. When I looked at it, even studying the ship, the conclusion became obvious.
"Captain!" I said nearly falling out of my seat. Spock looked at me from the screen in front of him.
"Yes Lieutenant Commander?" "The ship. The weaponry, its futuristic, we don't even have the technology to construct such weapons let alone the ship!"
"Yes, you explained that in the-" I interrupted him.
"No Captain. The ship itself... its from The future!" I said.
"That's nearly impossible." he said
"Sir, the machine has been destroyed. All communications have been restored." said Uhura.
"Chekov, scan the planet, I want to know what they are doing." he said instantly forgetting about our conversation. Chekov scanned the planet in seconds.
"Sir, They are creating a reaction that Vill consume ze planet." he said turning to the captain.
"Their creating a black hole in the middle of Vulcan." Said Spock. I paused for a minute. Black hole...time travel...was it possible? There was all kinds of myths to where black holes lead. Time travel being the most popular. It all started to click into place. The Romulans may have traveled back in time through a black hole. The next questions on my mind..why? And how?
"Jones, you have the con." said Spock running out. I ran over to Chekov.
"Beam them back." I said to him.
"Aye Keptin." he delivered the message to the transporter room. I made my way over to the Captains chair. I was a bit nervous at first, but I sat in it. It felt...natural. I immediately snapped out of my zone when I heard Chekov run off of the bridge screaming
"I can do zat!" over and over again. I followed him with my eyes until he was off of the bridge. I was turning my head towards the turbo lift when I saw them, Kirk and Spock standing together in the shadows...except...Kirk was floating through mid air, and Spock was in the transporter room.
