Saratoga Bridge
1:45 PM
Kirk arrived to find that Akari had once again brought the ship to a halt and was staring at the viewscreen.
"Captain, the anomaly's stopped expanding." The Helmsman's eyes widened. "And something's coming
out of it! It's a ship!"
It was true; a large silver, very familiar looking vessel had been hurled out of the anomaly as though
it had been spat out.
M'Ress was going over her readings. "Captain it's one of ours! Constitution class." Abruptly she paused
and a shocked look came over her face as she stared at the screen.
"M'Ress?" Kirk pressed.
Slowly she turned back to the Captain. "Sir. It's the Enterprise."
The Bridge went stone quiet. All eyes trained on the Captain.
Kirk had frozen but managed to keep his face was expressionless.
"They look like they've taken a beating," he said after a moment. And despite what happened, they're still
Starfleet and may need help.
He gave a resolute sigh. "Patch me through to them."
"Aye, sir."
"Enterprise, this is Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Saratoga", he began calmly. "What's your status?"
There was no answer.
"Enterprise this is the Saratoga," he repeated. "Please respond."
A voice came. A very familiar sounding voice. "Wait…Did you just say…James T. Kirk?"
Another image appeared on the screen.
And Kirk felt the universe shift.
