And not relive the past!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 17743

Benjamin Sisko sighs as he looks around his office at Deep Space Nine. So much had happened. So many friends had died in this insane war. So much that had to be done....including dirty tricks. He still winces at the memory of of how he had gone out to trick the Romulans into aiding his side......when the war was going so badly for the Federation and the Klingons.....and ended up playing a part of the death of a Romulan ambassador (and the Dominion playing the patsy for the death). Benjamin puts the baseball back down in it's mount and begins to sort through today's mass of "paperwork".... Sometimes he figures that the paperwork alone could have stopped the Dominion forces by sheer mass alone!

He's well into the paperwork when his combadge beeps. He taps it, annoyed.

"Captain, this is Major Kira here." a female voice says through the badge. "We've just recieved.....a message from the Voyager. Their asking to talk to you....but....."

Sisko's eyes light up.

"That's fantastic!" he nearly shouts happily. "Patch them through to my viewer right away!"

"Will do, Captain," says Kira. "But.....well, there's something.....strange about this you just have to see to believe. I.......well.....here they are. They seemed to have picked up....unusual guests along the way."

Benjamin look of pleasure freezes in surprise as he look onto the screen, and sees a humanoid vixen and the captain of the Voyager staring back at him (he notes that both are wearing the rank of Captain)......

To make a long story short, it boils down to this. Star Fleet command is estatic that Voyager is back, but stunned at the appearance of their furry analogs. It's finally agreed that these furries could very well join 'this' Star Fleet (don't ask how they went through the process of deciding THAT one). However, with the way things were....Star Fleet wasn't just about to hand out a new starship to the human crewmembers of the Voyager! The highly unusual matrix like chain of command set up aboard the Voyager is left standing. Voyager is ordered to pull into a nearby Star Fleet base for retrofitting. It's weapon systems would be upgraded to lattest spec. The life support and other secondary systems would be upgraded, also, so as to better support the three hundred crewmembers. This would take something like a month in drydocks. Oh, and the "Crimes against the Federation" by the former Marquis members would be swept under the rug and the field commissions would be left standing....just like the Marquis officers had actually attended Star Fleet Academy.

"Shoot," sighs human Chakotay, smiling. "I think that we could ALL use a vacation after all that mess....then it's back to getting the Voyager back in shape for a visit out to the borders of known space....doing what we do best."

"Exploring the recently reopened Beta Quadrant, seeking out new life and all that." human and vixen Janeway say together.

  1. So then....
