Alpha
was bored. Again. “Commanders log. Day 1021. The Baffin
is still fully ship shape. I still think it will last indefinitely. I
have completed my research of the overview of Earth's history. Today
I will start on that of Qo'noS. Klingon Opera, more interesting than
most Earth styles. End log.”
Another
day had started on the Baffin.
She pressed a button on the command console and a status diagram of
the ship came up on the main viewscreen. No problems had emerged over
the last 24 hours. Time to start. She grabbed the PADD she had been
using for her research. “Load list of Chancellors after first
contact with United Earth and re-start Klingon Opera playlist.' The
Klingon Opera resumed.
After
the rush of repairs and investigation into the crew's logs had been
completed, Alpha had settled into a routine. She wasn't sure how to
return the Baffin
to it's home reality, so she had decided to make the best of it by
learning everything that the ship's databases could teach her. She
had periodically interacted with the other holograms but they seemed
to be as stumped as she was. The crew logs hadn't been enlightening
either...
An
hour after she the log entry something happened. The computer paused
the playback of Klingon Opera and reported. “Temporal
distortion in the shuttlebay.”
“On
screen,” Alpha ordered.
On
the screen, what appeared to be another shuttlecraft seemed to fading
into existence with some kind of screeching sound.
