A/N: second chapter of my story.
Disclaimer: I do not own star trek or Battlestar Galactica.
"how did you know khan's a superhuman?" I didn't give him time to react. I turned and unloaded into him and marcus. scott was too shocked to do anything, so I
quickly fired a shot at him. and I shot at khan a few more times. seriously, you can't be too careful with guys like him. everyone save me was unconscious. I shot khan again.
I hailed the enterprise. on the screen, spock appeared "david. what is going on? where's the captain?" I shot khan again.
"khan betrayed us and stunned everyone except me.I need you to open your shields and I'll beam us over to you." I told him. shot khan again.
"opening shi-"
"no!" I looked and saw-WHAT THE FUCK!KHAN!?
Khan getting up, with an angry look on his face that scared the shit out of me. I shot him in face. but that doesn't stop him. he runs to me and knocks the gun out of my hand and pushes me. he's walking towards me and I reach into my pocket for the weapon I saved for him.
"NANITES BITCH!" I shout at the top my lungs as I throw what looks like sand into his face.
you see, while I was working with scotty on the replicator tech, I created a pouch of nanites that will eat at anything organic that doesn't have my DNA in it. I made it
specially for khan in case stunning him doesn't work.
the nanites start eating at khan's face."ARRGHHH!" he screams. I grab my phaser and stun khan in the legs to avoid damaging the nanites. khan falls to the floor clutching his
face.
I head for the screen with spock."come on, drop your shields while he's stunned!"
"but what was he-"
"he's lying, now open your shields!" come on, do it spock.
"opening shields" I look at the console and see that his shields are indeed opened.
I walked around looking for the transporting terminal. shit, I don't how to use the transporter how am I gonna... I found a console with what appears to be a 3d image of the
Vengeance. there were red glowing dots on it. thinking of a touch screen, I used my index finger and thumb to zoom in. it worked. when I zoomed into what appears to be the
bridge, the red dots turned into humanoid shapes. one was standing at a terminal and the rest were on the floor. guess the one standing is me huh. I tapped on one of the red
highlighted person on the floor who I guessed was khan. I then zoomed out of the vengeance, and was able to zoom into the enterprise. I found the room that they locked khan in.
I tapped on the floor and a target on it appeared, and a button that says transport lit up. I pressed the transport button, and khan began being to beam to the ,
that was actually really easy. I zoomed back to the vengeance and started all the red dots on screen but avoided mine. I zoomed to the enterprise and tapped the sickbay. instead
of one target, I got bunch of targets on the floor for all the people I selected. I hit transport. everyone had the transport light come over them and they were gone.
"Mr lord, why are you still there?" I looked at spock on the screen who was furrowing his brows.
"I'm sorry spock, but I'm taking this ship." I told him.
"Khan was telling the truth, wasn't he? you betrayed us." he looked at with a facial expression which, due to him being a vulcan, can only be described as determination.
"Goodbye spock." I turned off the screen. I looked around for a console that contains a map. I found it, and tapped the nearest star system. I felt the ship turn and angle
towards my destination. now to start up the warp core. I looked around the room until I came across a terminal that says 'warp core'. It had a slide that I presume powers it up.
I raised it and felt the ship shake as it entered warp.
My head was spinning, and it hurt like a bitch. I tried to get up. "John!" I looked and saw bones coming towards me. "what happened" he asked as he helped pick me up.
then it all came back to me. David knowing who khan was, shooting me. "David betrayed us." I answered.
"what? I don't understand." neither do I. when David was first transported here, I thought he was just some scared kid.I kinda felt bad for him, not knowing where he was. it was
understandable that he was avoiding everyone on the ship except for scott. I thought him spending all his time on the holodeck was a way for him to cope. now that I know he
betrayed me, there may have been something way more complicated going on in his head.
I looked around the room. I was in sickbay and there were people all on the floor, including Scotty, Carol, and marcus. I recognized the rest as the crew of the Vengeance.
"Where's khan?" I asked seemingly no one in particular.
"He's in the cell we kept him in when we first got him." I looked and saw spock walking towards me.
"And David?" I asked, although I could already guess.
"He's taken the vengeance and entered warp." he answered. he looked at bones "Dr McCoy, Khan requires medical attention."
"I'm on it." Bones left.
"Lock up all the vengeance crew including marcus in the brig." I told spock. he waved security to pick up the now conscious men and started taking them to the brig.
Admiral Marcus looked at me. "You're going to regret this son."
I glared at him. "admiral Marcus, you are under arrest. take him away." security grabbed him and pulled him away.
I turned to spock."What's wrong with Khan?" I asked.
"Khan was beamed into his cell clutching his face and screaming. it appears as though something was burning his face. when david was on screen, he got into a fight with khan and
threw something in his face, shouting both 'nanites' and a vulgar word that begins with 'B' and refers to a female prostitute." spock explained. i almost laughed at spock's
reluctance to say what i'm pretty sure is 'bitch'. but seriously, David took on khan in melee and beated him?
My communicator started beeping so I opened it. "captain, Khan is okay, but he's asking to see you about David." came the voice of bones. Khan? what could he want?
"i'm on my way." I closed the communicator "spock, come with me. Scotty, you spent the most time with David so you're also coming." we started heading to khan's cell.
"why would David betray us like that?" scotty asked with a worried look on his face.
"I don't know scotty. I don't know." I stated. when we reached khan's cell, he was sitting down. he was no longer screaming but his face had mild burns. he looked at me.
"Captain. Who was that boy?" khan asked. should I tell him?
"David Lord is a 17 year old human who was from the year 2015." Spock said. nevermind, looks like pointy-eared answered for me.
Khan looked up. "Cryo-Stasis?" he asked.
I shook my head. "no. our transporter somehow pulled him to our time." I answered.
"actually," Scotty stepped forward "after looking at the transporter, i was able to then figure out that he was actually pulled from another universe." I stared at scotty.
"what? then how come he's from the earth centuries into the past?" i asked.
"perhaps he is from an earth set back in a different time period. but that doesn't explain how he knows so much." spock explained. I remember what lead me to being shot by
David.
"He knew khan." I stated.
"He also knows the name of the enterprise," spock turned to scotty "chief engineer Scott, did David ever ask you the name of this ship."
Scott seemed to think it over."no. Why?" he answered.
spock turned to me. "when we were at Admiral Pike's office, David mentioned the enterprise by name. considering he only accompanied the chief engineer, I find it odd that he
somehow knew the enterprise' name." I scrunched my face. spock was right, he had no reason to know the name of the enterprise. it's not even written on the outside of the ship.
"He also knows the future." we turned to the source of the interruption. it was khan.
"what do you mean?" I asked.
"when we were fighting security in the engineering of the vengeance, David fought hand-to-hand. Yet, he had those nanites that could burn someone's face. he could've used them on
security, but he didn't. Why?" he stood up "Because he was saving them for me."
I thought it over. he was right, it was like he knew he'd have to face Khan.
"Captain, how did he get on the Vengeance." Spock asked.
"He followed me on to i..." scotty was explaining, but stopped when realization dawned on him. he knew. that's why he befriended scott, that's why he followed him off the
enterprise. he knew about the Vengeance and he somehow knew scott was going to get on it. he was planning to take the Vengeance the whole time."bloody hell..." scott muttered
"the son of a bitch was using me!" he cried in anger. Spock placed a hand on his shoulder.
"In all the time he was on the enterprise, what was he doing?" khan asked.
Scotty, getting over his initial anger, answered him."he spent it working on the holodeck. he found out he could use the AI in it to invent stuff for him. He also discovered how
to create artificial beings using nanites and robotics." Scotty answered.
Khan looked at me."Captain, when I saw David, I saw... familiarity. He made sure I was down, shot me repeatedly, and when that didn't work, he used a weapon he made specifically
for me. He made sure to avoid stunning my face, to avoid frying the nanites, and he knew scott was his only way on the Vengeance. He is calculative, and like me, savage." he
looked at spock. "And what does a savage do when he comes across something new?"
spock looked down, thinking it over, then looked back up. "they try to weaponize it." spock answered.
"Exactly. and how do you weaponize technology that can invent stuff for you and create almost endless artificial cybernetic beings?" khan asked. everyone looked down, and then
realization dawned on them.
"He can use the holodeck technology to create new weapons and an unlimited supply of sol-" khan was interrupted.
"soldiers." I finished for him. "the sonuvabitch is building an army." I turned to spock. "We have to get to Starfleet, get these prisoners locked up and we have to go after
David."
"Yes captain." we turned to turn leave.
"Captain!" I turned to Khan. "remember what I said. He is very much like me in regards to intellect and savagery."
I nodded, and left.
Far from the enterprise, in another star system, the vengeance has left warp. in the bridge of the vengeance, teenager David Lord was sitting in the command chair. he was
chewing the nail on his thumb, thinking his next move. David was a caucasion teenager, he was a little chubby, but his legs seemed muscular from pacing his whole life. chubby
was not the best way to describe his body. he possessed more of a bouncer body. he had black eyes and brown hair. currently, he was wearing his grey star fleet uniform. he looked around the the bridge.
The bridge is empty, save me. There are too many consoles to control at once. i'm going to need an extra pair of hands.
I got up and walked out. I wandered around the Vengeance until I found what I was looking for. The Holodeck. I walked to the terminal. I entered an advanced space faring
civilization into the simulation backstory. I added real world education on robotics and computer programming. I created a fictional corporation that specializes in the creation
of military robots. I created a persona of project director and created 14 artificial scientists. I walked into the holodeck. The 14 scientists were gathered in a massive
laboratory filled with robotic parts, blueprints, and computers. "Gentlemen, you are to design a humanoid robot that has military applications. It is to have human-like
reflexes,and superhuman strength. I trust that you will all get it done in time." I tell the scientists. they all nod. "Good." I watch as they all get to work. I leave the
holodeck and program the simulation to remain active, and sped up the rate of time in the simulation.
I left the room and headed back to the bridge to check if everything was okay. I searched the database for a star system that I could colonies and set up shop. Other than a few
Klingon and star fleet planets, the rest are uninhabitable. damn it. Its seems as though only an exploration ship has what i need...
The admiralty board was pissed to say the least. Not only did a starfleet admiral violated many starfleet regulations and committed what is tantamount to war crimes, but a
teenage time traveler, which apparently they heard nothing about, is loose with a powerful military-grade ship possibly building an army, or even worse, an empire. Khan was put
back on ice, Admiral Marcus is standing trial, the enterprise was fixed up, and I got photon torpedoes that don't have frozen men in them. Scotty hasn't been feeling good since
David's betrayal, and he hasn't been talking about it.
Kirk was on the bridge of enterprise, holding a meeting with Spock, Dr McCoy, and Uhura. "The new photon torpedoes have been loaded onto the enterprise. these ones have been
tested by star fleet, so chief engineer Scott should not have any problems with them onboard." Spock reported.
"No frozen people this time?" I inquired.
"No captain." Spock reassured, somewhat seriously.
"Good." He looked at his crewmen and women. "Do we know David's next move?"
"He is possibly going to search for a planet to begin working on. preferably, one that is not inhabited." Spock contributed.
"According to the information starfleet got on the USS Vengeance, the database contains only federation planets and klingon planets. they were expecting a war with
the klingons after all." Uhura explains.
"So he doesn't know any habitable planets that aren't taken?" I asked.
"No, only exploration ships have such information." Spock said.
"wait a minute. isn't the enterprise an exploration ship?" asked Bones.
"yes, which he will most likely go after us." Spock said.
"oh that just great. how the hell are we going to take on the Vengeance? In case you haven't forgotten, we just got our asses handed to us by it." Bones spoke in a worried tone.
"No, this is great. We were sabotaged when we first took it on, but now that we're fixed and have working torpedoes, things will be different next time. We can use the
enterprise as bait to lure The Vengeance to us." I said. this just might work.
"captain ho-" Spock was interrupted by sulu.
"Captain! incoming transmission. it's from new Vulcan." huh? what could old spock want.
"put it on screen, Mr Sulu" I responded.
"yes captain." said Sulu. on the screen was old Spock.
"Captain Ki-" he was interrupted by some kind of sudden earthquake on his end.
"Ole' Spock!" I shouted. young spock glanced at me. "What wrong!?"
"New Vulcan is under attack!" he exclaimed. this caught everyone's attention. Uhura covered her mouth in shock.
"who's attacking?" i asked. the screen shifted to a video of city of new vulcan, being fired upon by a swarm of ships. up in the sky, was the USS Vengeance, which the smaller
ships were coming out of.
everyone's mouths were agape."Don't worry! we're on our way!" Kirk walked to his chair as the video ended. "Take us to new vulcan." a resounding 'aye, sir' was heard throughout
the bridge.
Spock went up to me. "why would David attack New Vulcan?" he asked with a puzzled look.
I looked up at him. "He's trying to lure us in."
"so it's a trap then?" spock asked.
"probably, but that won't stop us. let's show him what a fully functional enterprise can really do." I reassured.
We exited warp near new vulcan. There was a vulcan ship blown apart. just under the atmosphere of New Vulcan, the Vengeance could be made out with small fighters flying away from the vengeance, the city of New Vulcan was underneath it, smoke coming out and explosions ringing out.
"sir!" shouted sulu. "The Vengeance is leaving the atmosphere!" I looked out the window. the vengeance was indeed rising out of the atmosphere. perhaps to confront us?
No, instead it entered warp and flew away. I don't like this one bit.
"where is it going?" spock asked.
"I don't know sir, but there are still ships attacking the city of New Vulcan." Sulu answered.
"Any signals?" I asked.
"There are signals between the smaller fighters and there also appears to signals coming from the ground." Sulu's console beeped "we're receiving a hail!"
"on Screen." on the screen, old spock appeared, but he looked a little hurt.
"Kirk! I need your help. I'm trapped in my facility where me and my team was working on the HELIOS device. the invaders are after it." old Spock explained. I flash backed to
what the HELIOS machine was. It was supposed to speed up the terraforming of New Vulcan, but the Gorn attacked it after it ripped open a wormhole to their galaxy. Kirk had to destroy it,but old spock was working on a new one ever since.
"hold on ole' Spock! We're going to help." I said. the screen turned off, and I faced my XO.
"Sir, do you think David wants the HELIOS device to terraform a planet for him?" Spock asked me.
"Maybe, but this could also be a trap. Mr Sulu, bring us into the planet." I commanded.
"aye, sir"
we started descending into the atmosphere. the fighters that were attacking were still there, and we got their attention. they all flew towards the enterprise, firing their...
are those projectile weapons? who still uses projectile weapons? they had machine gun turrets and missile launchers attach to them. "captain, initial scans show that they are
unmanned, possibly drones." Sulu reported."good. Open fire." I commanded. the enterprise starting firing it's much more powerful energy weapons, the projectile weapons doing
little damage due to the deflector shields. many of the fighters were destroyed, with only four retreating."sir, the aircraft are gone but we are detecting hostile activities on
the ground." reported Sulu. ground forces, perhaps?
I got out of my chair and headed for the transporter room."spock, you're with me." he nodded and followed behind. "spock, we're going to beam down there, pull out old spock, protect the HELIOS machine, and get the hell out of there." I explained my plan to him.
"Captain, how do you think David was able to amass such a force?" he inquired.
"He probably used the replicator technology, and since it doesn't make the stuff for energy weapons, he had to improvise with good old fashioned gunpowder and gasoline.I bet you those fighters are chemical propelled." I explained to Spock.
Spock raised an eyebrow."Captain, I am surprised you were so knowledgeable in replicator science."
I narrowed my eyes and looked at him."What's that supposed to mean?"
"I think we should discuss at a later time, Captain." He evaded.
"fine, but we're not done here." I told him.
We continued to the transporter room. when we reached it, I walked to one of the engineers manning the console. "can you pinpoint the facility where they were working on the
HELIOS device." I asked one of the red shirts. he nodded and looked onto the console "sir, the inner labs are shielded from any beaming to avoid the HELIOS device being stolen".
the console showed a building with vulcan life signs holed up in one area in the facility. it also showed
movements of humanoid shapes that didn't appear to have any life signs whatsoever. kirk looked to spock "androids?" I asked "it is possible, Captain." he answered. Kirk and
spock walked into the transporter room." Beam us down." Kirk commanded. an 'aye sir' was heard before light started encircling kirk and spock and their surroundings changed.
Spock and Kirk appeared in a lab. everything was broken, there were vulcan bodies littered on the floor. kirk and Spock pulled out Phaser rifles. they left the lab and entered
a corridor."What have you found?" Kirk and Spock heard a deep monotone voice. "nothing yet. we are still searching for the device." Spock and Kirk rounded at a corner. they
spotted four metallic androids. they were silver, save for a golden one who is possibly the leader. they stood tall, there heads having one cyclops like slit for an eye with
a red dot swinging from side to side. they metal fin-like protrusions coming out of the top of their heads. below the waist was black instead of the silver above the waist. Kirk
noted how they looked like ancient roman centurions.
Kirk pulled ducked out of the corner and opened. The pulse hit one leg on a silver making it explode, catching the rests attention."hostiles!" the leader shouted. the centurions
got into cover in the hallway openings. they started firing their gunpowder weapons at us. although gunpowder weapons are less powerful than energy weapons, they are harder to
avoid because they are much faster. kirk shot at the centurion on the floor and was able to hit it in the head, but he got shot in the shoulder."ARGH!" kirk yelled in pain. he
got a few more shots at the centurions, and was able to take down the leader and a silver, leaving just one. Spock ducked out of the hall and shot its arm off. he shot at it
again and it hit its head.
Spock turned to me, "Captain! you're injured!"
"gee, what makes you think that. my scream of pain, or the blood coming out of my shoulder!" I reprimanded.
"I'm gonna contact the enterprise for assistance." he pulled his communicator."come in enterprise. do you read me? Enterprise?!" he looked down at the communicator. when no one
answered, he closed it. "they must jamming our signal." He theorized.
I chuckled."yeah, right after we received a signal from old you, I don't think so" I said.
"what do you mean?"
I got up."I'm saying this is a trap. he's not just after the HELIOS device, but he's after the enterprise database as well." I gestured to the direction the device is in.
"Come on, let's keep moving." we started heading down the corridor.
"are you're alright captain?" Spock asked.
"yeah, i've been through worst." we kept moving through the corridors. we came across more dead scientists.
I gritted my teeth. "I trusted him." I turn to Spock. "How could he kill all these people Spock?"
He shook his head slowly. "I don't know captain. but you heard what khan said. he's a savage, just like him."
"But he wasn't like this when we met him. He was just a scared kid." I said.
"He was a scared kid who probably had ambitions and plans for his career, and when he got sent here all of his hopes of a future were killed, so he's decided that he's going to
make a future of greatness here, no matter how many he kills and hurts." he's explains.
I let out a sigh."come on, let's keep moving." spock nodded.
We continued through the corridors. We found the room old spock was holed up, but there were four silver centurions and one golden trying to break the door down. I shot at the
golden and was able to blow its head off. the rest didn't even bother going for cover, and started shooting at us. we ducked behind cover, and fired a couple of shots at the
centurions. we shot one in the shoulder, but it kept firing. I fired another one, and was able to hit it in the head. one stopped to reload, but spock took a shot at its head,
leaving two left. The door behind them that they were trying to break down suddenly opened, a shot hit one centurion. the other centurion was shot just as it was turning around.
Me and Spock peeked out of cover and saw old Spock holding a phaser rifle, waving us in. we ran and stepped over the downed centurions. we looked around. there were a crowd of
vulcan scientists in the lab, some were sitting on floor, some were wounded, and some were comforting each other.
I turned to old Spock."Spock, are you okay?"
"i'm fine captain" "i'm fine captain" both spocks said.
they glanced at each other.
I looked at both of them. "I...can you tell us what happened."
Old Spock kept his eyes on young Spock before turning to me. "A Vulcan cruiser orbiting New Vulcan was fired upon by an unknown dreadnought that closely resembled the
Enterprise. after the unknown dreadnought destroyed the Vulcan Cruiser, it descended upon the city of New Vulcan, and released fighters out its hangars. the fighters themselves
possess primitive weaponry, but effective nonetheless. these" He pointed at a centurion that was taken apart on a table "droids, were beamed down just inside the surrounding
labs. I was able to activate a jammer that disrupted beaming into the deeper labs." he walked over to the table with the dissected centurion "in all my years of travel," he
placed both hands on the table "I have never come across any droids with designs such as these."
"I believe I can explain," young spock walked forward "these were created droids by David Lord, a time traveller from earth in the year 2015 who was brought here in a
transporter malfunction. He has commandeered the USS Vengeance."
Old Spock turned to young spock."2015? how was he able to create these?"
"While on the enterprise, he discovered that the holodeck technology could be repurposed to invent new technology. He most likely used it to create these droids." spock explained.
"yeah, and they kinda resemble ancient roman centurions too." all eyes were on me "what? I took history."
The spocks turned to each other "But why are the weapons so primitive?" old spock asked.
"He most likely used the replicator technology to create them, and since it doesn't create phasers, gunpowder weaponry would have to be improvised." Spock theorized.
"Hey! that's what I said!" they ignored me.
"Do you still have the HELIOS device?" inquired young spock.
"yes, it's locked in that room. it should be safe from beaming." old Spock pointed to a door.
"Then can you deactivate the jamming so that we can contact the Enterprise." Spock asked.
Old spock nodded and walked to a terminal. He pressed a few buttons. "there. it's done."
Young spock pulled out his communicator. "Enterprise, this is spock. do you read me?"
"Spock this is Sulu!" came the voice of the acting captain "The Enterprise has sustained heavy damages. the enemy has boarded. I repeat: The enemy has boarded."
On the bridge of the USS Vengeance, David was sitting in his captain's chair. around him, the terminals were manned by white humanoid robots who, unlike the tall and bulky
centurions, were of average height and have thinner limbs. their heads featureless, save for two eyeholes. David himself ditched the red uniform he was given, sporting a black
military styled great coat, with a red inside. on one his right shoulder, he wore a gold shoulder pad. his hair was dyed black, and combed back. he wore leather gloves and black
military boots.
It was simple, really. The holodeck scientists presented a design for me, and I noticed how the eye looked like a cylon centurion from battlestar galactica, so I fitted them
with the same armor. I had them design another series of weaker robots for being the crew. I discovered that the replicator couldn't create phasers, so I had to use gunpowder
weaponry instead. I was able to create aircraft drones as well, but it uses jet fuel to fly, so it doesn't hover or fly in space. I used the replicator to make my
uniform for me, and it is composed of nanites that shields me from any phaser pulses.
"my lord, the drones we left on New Vulcan have reported that they have successfully disabled the Enterprise." the crew droid, which I call pilots, reported.
I smirked. you see I had two choices presented to me: either terraform my own planet, or get a database of planets from the Enterprise. So I thought, why not get both?
the HELIOS device on New Vulcan was perfect for terraforming my own planet, and if I attacked New Vulcan, old Spock would most likely contact the enterprise.
Except, I can't risk fighting against a fully functional enterprise with my only ship, and my drones weapons were too primitive against its deflector shields. So how would I
defeat the Enterprise without the going out into battle myself? well, you see before I got dragged into the star trek universe, played a game called the powder toy. the powder
toy simulated chemicals and particles, and I looked up a video that showed me how to make a nuke on the powder toy. And I just found out that the replicator can
make certain nuclear elements...
Acting Captain Sulu was sitting in the Captain's chair. on the outside, the Enterprise was finishing off the remaining fighters. A couple of the fighters attempted to shoot at
the ship, but the missiles were easily deflected off the shield.
"Captain Sulu! We are detecting incoming four warheads coming from both sides of the ship!" shouted one of bridge crewmembers.
"The shields should hold up." Sulu replied.
"But sir, we are getting radioactive readings from them!"
Sulu immediately stood up "what! angle the shi-" it was too late. outside the Enterprise the detonated, creating giant mushroom clouds too small to completely destroy, but
enough to leave it vulnerable.
"Shields down!"
"Weapons down!"
"warp core disabled!"
"dammit!" Sulu walked to the window "We're completely defenseless!"
"sir, we've detected a signature. The Vengeance is back!" sulu looked out the window, and saw the USS Vengeance descend from the clouds.
"they're beaming a boarding party onto the ship!"
"Alert the rest of the ship!" sulu commanded.
Uhura was working in engineering, making sure the warp core was stable. then, the entire ship rumbled, and the warp just stopped all of sudden.
"What the bloody hell's going on!" Uhura turned to see chief engineer scott shouting at the other engineers. After David betrayed everyone, Scotty's been upset and locked
himself in his quarters for hours, until Kirk ordered him to get out. He's been reluctantly working in engineering not saying a word to anybody, and he got even worse
when we found the Vengeance attacking New Vulcan. It angered Uhura to see Scotty so upset, even though she barely knew David.
"ATTENTION!" Uhura looked at the intercoms "A BOARDING PARTY HAS BEAMED ONTO THE SHIP! THE ENEMY IS ON THE SHIP!" Uhura heard a scream and gunshots. she turned to see a
redshirt running in her direction down the corridor, but her chest became riddled with bullet holes and she felt to floor. behind the dead crewmember, a strange droid walked
down the corridor. Uhura quickly started running in the opposite direction. behind her, the droid shot at her but narrowly missed. in front of her, a group of security guards
ran into the corridor she was in. she ducked, and a security guard shot at the droid. the droid fell to the ground, a hole in its head.
"are you okay?" one of the security guards walked up to Uhura and picked her up.
"I'm fine. Can you lend me a phaser?" He took out a pistol phaser from his belt. "What's happened?"
"Four nuclear warheads exploded at the sides of the Enterprise. everything's down, and the Vengeance came back and beamed these droids onto the ship. the droids have established
footholds in engineering, sickbay, and just outside the bridge." the guard reported.
"we need to get to the bridge. The database is in there, if they get it they'll have a map of every star system the Enterprise has explored." Uhura told him.
"come on. I'll take you there." the security guards lead Uhura through the corridors of the Enterprise. as Uhura reached the bridge, she heard gunfire.
In front of her, the door to the bridge had security guards blocking entry to a group of droids attacking them. 4 guards at the door, 3 guards and Uhura behind the droids, and 5
droids trying to take the bridge. the droids noticed us and three opened fire at us while two continued to shoot at the door guards. one of the guards on Uhura's side was hit,
and the rest including Uhura got into cover. she fired a couple of shots at droid, hitting one in the head. she peaked at the guards at the door, two of them were already dead.
another guard on her side shot, leaving only one and her.
Uhura peaked out of cover for anoth-
"Enterprise, this is spock. do you read me?"
"Spock this is Sulu!" he answered the communicator as droids banged at the door to the bridge "The Enterprise has sustained heavy damages. the enemy has boarded.
I repeat: The enemy has boarded."
Just as Sulu reported to Spock, the door to the bridge exploded, and droids came. sulu, along with other bridge crewmembers, ducked behind consoles and started firing their
phasers at the droids. Sulu was able to get one in the head, but another shot at him, so he ducked behind cover. a droid walked to the navigation terminal while two droids
covered it. it plugged something its arm into terminal and started pulling navigation data from it. Sulu attempted to fire at it, but two other droids were blocking
it."I have the data!" it shouted in a deep, robotic voice."Let's go!" a golden droid pressed a button on its wrist and then light started encircling them. by the time the
light dispersed, the droids were gone.
Sulu rose from behind cover "I want a status report on all decks! call chief engineer scott to try and get the warp core and defenses back online."
Sulu looked around the bridge. there were droids on the ground and three dead bridge crewmembers. he walked to the door to the bridge. five dead security guards who guarded the
bridge entrance, a group of disabled droids right in the front. behind those he saw group of de...oh no.
after ship power functions got back online, Kirk and Spock were beamed back onto the Enterprise. Spock immediately left the transporter room and ran straight. he ran as he
could. Kirk was right behind him, clutching his bullet wound. they ran through guards putting dead bodies into body bags, disabled droids being dragged away, and medics
tending to the wounded. they didn't stop to look or check on anything. They came across Scotty, who wore a grim expression on his face. Dr McCoy saw them, and tried to stop
Kirk to tend to his bullet wound, but he just pushed him away. as they grew closer to the bridge, they came across bodies who were not placed in bags yet, droids still on the
entered the elevator, Spock placed his hands on the door waiting for it to bring them to where they're going. they got off the elevator and began running again to the
bridge. They saw Mr Sulu, who was standing in the middle of hall. behind him, there was a group of dead security who look like they had a battle with droids. But Spock wasn't
looking at the dead security guards. He was looking at one body in particular. As soon as he reached the body, he dropped to his knees, picked up the body, and sobbed as he
cradled her. He kept sobbing. and sobbed. and sobbed. and sobbed. Kirk and Sulu were standing there watching, kirk with a look of disbelief in his face.
Then, Spock stopped sobbing. He looked up, gritting his teeth and scrunching his face in pure rage.

"DAAAAAAAVIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDD!"
David watched as the centurion uploaded the data onto the bridge navigation console. though his plan to get the HELIOS device failed, this would have to do. after it finished,
it got out of the way as I looked at the console. it showed numerous habitable planets, and showed which ones were already had civilizations and sapient species on them.
it also showed deposits for material which my replicator can't produce. I looked out the window. we were in orbit of New Vulcan, since it should take a while until the Enterprise
managed to make repairs to its systems.
I walked back to my Captain's chair. "take us to-"
"my lord!" I was interrupted by a pilot "The Enterprise is following us!"
I stood up immediately "what! it shouldn't be fully repaired yet." outside the window, the enterprise was indeed leaving the planet's atmosphere. "what are its current
capabilities?"
"it's shields are at 15%, weapons 12%, warp core 50%." a pilot reported.
"ha!" I sat down in my chair. It can't take me on. "Hail them."
"yes, my lord."
on the screen, kirk appeared."David! you sonuvabitch!"
"Captain, what do you think you're doing? you know you ca-" I was interrupted
"FIRE PHOTON TORPEDOES!" Spock shouted at the top of his lung. wait, wha-
missiles fired out of The Enterprise, hitting The Vengeance. the bridge shook.
"Spock! I did not give the order to fire weapons!" I heard Kirk said.
I gritted my teeth in anger. "fire at the ent-" the bridge shook again.
"my lord! shields are at low capacity!"
"what!?" on the outside in space, The enterprise was firing everything it had at the Vengeance. explosions rang out all across the ship. holes were shot in the hull of ship, centurions were sucked out into space. my face scrunched in rage. "Fire! Fire!" the Vengeance starting fire its energy weapons at the Enterprise. the blasts hit a few torpedoes, and hit the ship's thrusters.
"fire the nuclear warheads!" I commanded.
"we can't! We'll risk them detonating too close to us!"
"FUCK!" the bridge shook again. outside, the port decks of the Vengeance were almost completely lost.
"get us the fuck out of here!" I shouted at my pilots.
"warp core is still charging, my lord!" FUCK! how could this happen! The Enterprise shouldn't be able to do this at its state. And why the fuck did Spock just do something that is complete-
"DAVID!" I looked at the screen, Spock was on it.
"Spock what ar-"
"You have just murdered hundreds of innocent lives. you are now a WAR criminal! that means that it doesn't matter whether I take you alive or not. so surrender and turn yourself over to stand trial." Spock shouted rather angrily.
"FUCK YOU!" I shouted at him and turned off the screen.
"fire the warheads!" I commanded again.
"but sir-"
"FUCKING DO IT!" I shouted in rage
"yes my lord!" the pilot obeyed.
On the outside, the nukes were launched out at the enterprise. they flew through the space between the enterprise and the vengeance, they exploded in the middle, the blast blocking any more shots that are between the two ships.
I turned to the pilot at the engineering terminal. "Is the Warp Core ready!?"
"yes my lord."
"then get us ten star systems away!"
"yes my lord."
The vengeance turned and angled itself in a different direction, and then it blasted off into warp.
Ten star systems away, the vengeance exited warp. The port decks were almost completely missing, the hull riddled with holes and scorch marks.
I left the bridge. as I walked through the ship halls, centurions were running to put fires out, removing disabled centurions, and trying to cover up the holes that are in the hull. they are using the structure sand, a swarm of nanites used for building and construction, to patch up the damages. on the ground a small swarm of structure sand was moving into on the wall. the structure sand looked like small black rivers going up the wall as they covered up the hole. outside a window, I could see that the port side of saucer part of the ship had holes that made it look like a bite was taken out of the ship.
I reached the Captain's quarters, which is now mine, and walked inside. the quarters themselves were almost luxurious, with a terminal that produced 3d holograms, a bathroom, and a private
armory with phasers. the bed was queen sized, unlike the standard crew quarters bed. I sat at a desk, and just silently waited there for a moment.
I then raised my fist and brought down onto the desk."FUCK!" I smashed the desk again, "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" I kept smashing my fist into it until it cracked.
I stopped and placed my hands on the desk, breathing heavily. It was then what Spock said echoed in my head. I'm a murderer. I killed innocents. NO! dammit, I knew what I was doing when I bombed New Vulcan! I didn't tell my centurions to take any prisoners!
"FUCK!" I smashed the desk again. Someone must have died. on the enterprise. That's why Spock was so angry. did I… did I kill Scotty?
"oh god…" I ran to the bathroom, lifted the toilet seat, and hurled.
Centurions: based on the cylons from battlestar galactica, these are the primary ground force serving David. armed with gunpowder weaponry, large groups are commanded by a single golden centurion.
Pilots: working on the bridge of the enterprise, the pilots provide extra hands to man the terminals.
Fighters: resembling UAV drones from 21st century earth, these unmanned aircraft are piloted by AI and armed with a machine gun and missiles. they are not capable of hovering or flying in space.
Structure Sand: A sand-like swarm of nano robots, structure sand, or StructSand, is capable of constructing large buildings and can repair anything that won't fit in the replicator, such as ship hull breaches. StructSand can be made using the replicator, and it is surprising star fleet has not made something similar yet.
A/N: alright here's the second chapter. I was originally writing these on notepad, but have now moved to google docs.
