The interrogation of the former captain proceeded as planned as the information they needed to repair the timeline was finally revealed after the full extent of the damaged to the timeline was revealed to the former Captain. The total destruction of the Federation in the 26th century at the hands of the Ventra and how they overpowered the Dominion and all empires to create the galaxy's first true empire. Yet the true horror was just beginning for the people of the Federation and the earth as the Ventra unleashed their most powerful weapon of all.

Slowly Monroe walked around the table as she spoke to her former Captain and mentor in her native language.

"… And that was just start of Captain! Once the Ventra had overtaken the Federation, the people of the Earth attempted to rise up and create a resistance against them. Much like the Bajoran people during the Cardassian Occupation. But no, the Ventra wouldn't let this lie. Because of what you said and did, the Ventra feared earth and the Humans… before they Jumped here… S'Var picked scanned the timeline he left. This is what they found… Using the holographic database, the computer has been able to extrapolate what happened too earth within a margin of error of…0.01% Computer, begin program"

Using the holographic emitters installed throughout the ship for the Holographic Doctor, an image of earth begun to display. Surrounding the planet circled the wreckage of many Federation Starships, Spacedocks and orbital facilities had begun to form a ring of debris around the planet while on the surface of the planet surface, fires burned. Fires that almost consumed entire countries as the smoke filled the atmosphere. However, the devastation did not stop with earth as the map begun to display the planet Venus, once again it had returned to it's natural state as the terra-forming had been halted, the fourth planet Mars had begun to burn as pieces of the many orbital facilities had begun to enter it's atmosphere and smash into the surface of the planet. All over the Sol System, the horrifying image of destruction of everything they had fought to protect had been destroyed.

Sighing too himself, Anders looked up at her and nodded as he spoke.

"How is this possible?"

"After you gave them what they needed, after you destroyed the Enterprise… they will kill you, and continue with their war against everything you know. The humans had begun to form a resistance against the Ventra, but it was too late, the Ventra unleashed the most deadly weapon of all… keep watching, and then, tell me what you think of your new allies!"

As he watched the display, thousands of vessels had begun to leave the Sol system at high warp until finally the Sol system was free of the deadly alien occupation and armada, as the time code on the display had begun to speed forward almost two weeks, a small Ventra ship exited warp close too the planet Mercury and quickly disappeared into warp as the vital star that had given birth too all life that had once existed on the third planet had begun to grow in size as the yellow colour of the star begun to change to a deep red as finally, in one last act, the vital middle aged, main sequence star took one large gasp as it vaporised the inner planets including Earth. The destruction continued as the star exploded in a vast nebula and vaporised anything in its path as a vast supernova had begun to form. Shocked, the former captain looked at the display as it ended before him. Slowly, Monroe walked around behind him and grabbed the back of his hand. Squeezing his head as tight as she could she spoke aloud for all too hear.

"THIS is your legacy Anders. This is what you have done, you have destroyed everything. And you will pay for it… I will make sure of that!"

With as much force as she could muster, she slammed his head into the table before her as she leaned over and whispered into his ear.

"Do you have any idea what the punishment is for someone who has destroyed the timeline?"

"No!" He replied as he coughed blood.

"I'm not sure anyone knows, but I assure you Anders… I will make sure it lasts you forever… Kern, Open the door. I'm coming out…"

Slowly she released him and walked towards the door as he sat up and wiped the blood from his nose before he spoke.

"Wait!"

Smiling slightly, she turned too face him as he straightened himself.

"Alright, I'll tell you what you need to know… For a price!"

"You are in no position to make bargains… Mister Anders!"

"Julia, I'll tell you what you need to know. Just remember that when you make your report!"

"I'll consider it… Captain. Now, no more of this crap, tell me where and when you went, I want a full record of what you did… down to the last detail…" She said firmly.

"I know the routine… I taught you remember?"

Slowly, he picked took the PADD from her as she sat in a chair facing him while he began to type out a list of his activities, from the time and date of his arrival, up until the moment he was captured, for over on hour they sat in silence until he placed the PADD on the table before her as he finally spoke aloud.

"You feel betrayed…"

"You damned right I feel betrayed Anders, I looked up to you"

"I know. I'm…"

"Sorry?" She interrupted. "… Sorry won't cut it anymore Anders"

Standing quickly, she took the PADD from the table and walked towards the holding cell door, without turning she lowered her head and spoke quietly.

"I can't believe I trusted you, I even gave myself to you…"

"We all have our weaknesses Julia"

"Never call me that again" She growled.

As she left the cell, she stopped at the large Klingon and smiled slightly.

"Have Kirk meet me in the armoury in one hour"

"Yes Commander" He nodded. "And Mister Anders?"

"No one enters that room with out my authorisation; he can have access to the Doctor, food and water he's not allowed to leave that room unless it is to use the head"

"Yes Ma'am" He snarled.

"If he attempts to leave the room… you have my permission to put him down. But do not, under any circumstances... cause any serious injuries… clear?"

"Clear" He growled with disappointment.

Leaving the holding cells, Lieutenant Commander Julia Monroe made her way through the ship until she reached her quarters, for a moment she stopped inside the door and looked around with a slight sigh. For six months, she had been in a secret relationship with her former Captain, a man she had respected and grown to admire during her time serving wit him, now she had been given the task of destroying him and his lengthy career, but his treason against everything she had sworn to protect was one stop too far.

Slowly she walked towards a large sofa near the far window ad slumped down as she began to read the large file Anders had written, hoping in someway to find some reason why he had done what he had done, yet she always came back to the same answers, it was purely for his own personal power and possibly the unknown virus he had contracted, a virus that had changed him into the dangerous criminal he had become.

One Hour Later…

At the request of the acting Captain, James Kirk was escorted to one of the large armouries that lined the ship. Upon entering he looked around at the large collection of weapons, some he recognised from his service with Starfleet, others appeared to of similar design. However, the vast majority of the collection he could not recognise.

"Interesting collection Monroe"

"I thought you'd like it. We've got a date for Anders' arrival… it appears he arrived at Starfleet Command in the 26th Century. You're going to need a weapon and a few other pieces of equipment from that time zone… so you don't arouse too much suspicion"

"What ever you say Commander" He smiled.

Once more, he ran his eyes over the large collection as he picked up an old weapon and spoke softly.

"I haven't seen one of these in years. A Type One Phase Pistol… circa 2150s. My dad had one in the house for person protection"

"It was an effective weapon, for it's time anyway" She smiled.

Carefully he flipped open the back of the weapon and smiled as a power core was still charged within the weapon.

"Full power… you keep them armed?"

"Some, I like to use that from time to time for target practice. I'm also a little attracted to using the older EM-33-2A Plasma Pistol" Monroe laughed.

"I see, so… what do you suggest Commander?"

Carefully, he placed the weapon back in its place, as he looked around the large display before him, only to stop at a weapon more familiar to him, the Type II Hand Phaser Pistol.

"Ahh yes, the old favourite" She smiled.

Nodding softly, he slowly walked along the incredible collection of weapons passing many of the designs that had yet to be created in his own time, until he stopped at an unusual weapon. With a slight smile on his face, he picked up the weapon and examined it slightly as she looked on with interest.

"That weapon was designed in the late 26th Century, around 20 years after Anders arrived… it was decided that a personal defence weapon would be created for all Starfleet personnel working in the deep range. It fell out of favour with Starfleet Spec-Opps after only two years of being in service"

Smiling slightly, Kirk looked over the metallic cylinder with as slight smile on his face.

"What is it?"

"It was called a Phase-Sword, compressed phaser energy would stretch out almost 24 inches and loop back into the hilt creating a solid beam of Phaser Energy, it had a habit of over heating or exploding after extended usage"

His eyes widened as he looked down at the weapon before him as she continued.

"Relax, that one is safe. To activate the weapon, merely squeeze the hilt"

"No thanks, I like my hands attached" He laughed.

Laughing, she took the weapon from him and placed it back onto the display before she handed him the correct weapon for the time he was to arrive in.

"This is a Type 19-C compressed Phase Disrupter, a very powerful weapon with a bit of a kick and a slight pull to the left, so be on your guard Kirk"

"Nice design, fits perfectly in my hand" He said as he admired the weapon.

"They where ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the users hand, to activate the weapon, press the red control on the left hand side, it will automatically adjust to you hand"

"How?" He said as he pressed the control.

"The weapon will automatically adjust to your grip…"

"Yeah, it already has" He smiled.

"Once it adjusts to your grip, you'll feel a slight warm sensation in your hand… it's the weapon telling you that it is now keyed into your own genetic code…"

"Meaning what?" He interrupted.

"Meaning… that only you can fire it until it has been deactivated by the base unit, which is here. The weapon will sense your thoughts and adjust its power specifically to what you want. Too fire the weapon; you simply squeeze the handle slightly. You're aim should be true, even if your eye leaves the target"

"Nice!" He smiled.

Once more, she reached onto the display shelf and picked up a small pair of glasses, with a smile she placed them on him and touched the control on the frame.

"This is something similar to what you would call a Tricorder, as with the weapon, they will adjust to you and only you. They'll scan your eye and adjust to any problems with your vision you may have. The display will project five feet in front of you with a full display that you are used to"

"Wow!" He said as he looked around.

For a moment, he stopped and ran his eyes up and down her body with a slight smile on his face as she blushed slightly.

"Hey, stop that. And yes, they can do that too. Telepath, remember Kirk?"

"Ohh sorry!" He mocked.

"I doubt it. Didn't you see enough last night?" She laughed.

"Can't blame a guy for looking Julia. So you're going to beam me into that timeframe… or beam me into someone else?"

"No, once you're done here, you'll need the correct… uniform. We'll change the colour of your hair and eyes… do you want a moustache or beard?" She smiled.

"What? Ohh I get it, hide in plain sight. How about a few days facial hair growth?"

"Not a problem, alright, once you arrive… I'll guide you from the H-U-D on your glasses; touch the control on the side to cloak them. Or would you prefer contact lenses?"

Smiling slightly, he removed the glasses and handed them too her as he spoke.

"Contacts might be easier, this technology is amazing Julia"

"All of what you have been given has been adapted using our own Tech-Level; the uniform you will be wearing will hide you from the internal sensors at Starfleet Command as well as protect you from Phaser hits"

"Impressive, I assume this is not standard technology?"

"No, special modifications Kern adapted, we're looking at having it introduced as standard equipment"

"Nice, Scotty would go nuts for this" He said with a hint of sadness.

"Don't worry Kirk; once this is over… your ship will be exactly as you left it. Okay bad choice of words. Your ship will be exactly as it was before you met the Ventra"

"Alright" He said taking a deep breath. "Now, how about that Uniform?"

After a brief instruction from Kern and Monroe and dressing in a Standard issue uniform for the correct time frame, his hair colour had been changed to a deep black and his eye colour changed to a blue tint. Slowly he ran his left hand over his stubble beard as he nodded slightly.

"Nice fit to the uniform"

"Are you ready Kirk?" Kern said slowly.

"As I'll ever be"

"Alright, remember what the Commander said. Try too avoid interacting with personnel from that time zone as much as possible, under no circumstances are you tell anyone who you are. Keep your chatter down to a minimum"

"Of course" Kirk smiled.

"Jim, be careful. Anders is a trained agent… and in his condition when you meet him, he'll be a little hard to handle. Do not fire your weapon unless you have no other choice"

"I know the drill Commander"

"Jim, you'll see things at Command… that you may find… Unusual, just remember one thing. It is not your timeline, and people will know the name Jim Kirk. Incase people ask, Name, Rank"

"Lieutenant Commander James Pike. Speciality… 23rd Century History, specifically the study of…"

"You'll do fine Jim… be careful, we'll monitor you from here. We'll keep an open Comm-link to you at all times. S'Var, energise!"
