Chapter 9: Back to the past
Silence. One of the worst things that a starship captain wants to hear is silence. It usually means something bad is heading your way and I never have liked that feeling. But on this day I was more than happy to welcome some silence. A chance to do some work and catch up. The last several months that I had been in command of Voyager things had just kept getting worse. I mean it all started with the loss of the Chakotay and then getting a bitch for a first officer and then we had the son'a incident and then the cadets that went AWOL not to mention saving the Enterprise from near destruction after it was enveloped by an energy cloud and delivering supplies to Karemma which for some reason upset the dominion so after going more diplomatic negotiations with them I was really starting to get into the swing of commanding a starship and Tom was becoming no stranger to being the ships first officer. On more than occasion the few months I had been in command Starfleet Command had said that we worked well together as a married couple and the ships command officers. Kathryn was more than impressed with us as we fell under her command and I couldn't be happier.
Today was no exception. Starfleet had sent us on a 3 week survey mission to look at some sectors of the gamma quadrant that were previously un-explored due to the war with the dominion. I had recently had coffee with colonel Kira at DS9 and she said that I spend more time in the gamma quadrant than most other Starfleet officers and that I should think about setting up my retirement there. I had to laugh. I stood up from my desk and moved over to the window and looked out and was greeted by a beautiful sight. Voyager had landed on a planet yesterday and the sun was out at its full beauty and in the same position were some lush green mountain and crystal lakes which I could see from where I was stood. I had sent out 9 science teams and a further 5 away teams consisting of engineers and other officers to investigate the planet and learn all they could. Tom was off the ship at the minute leading one of the teams. Harry had taken the bridge to allow me to do some work. Things were just perfect. This morning I had lead a team out myself and was amazed by the sheer beauty of this planet. "Bridge to Carter." Said Harry over the comm bringing me out of my trance. "Go ahead Harry." I replied. "Message from Tom." He said. "Put it through." I said. I went over to the my desk and pressed a few controls. "Go ahead Commander." I said. "Jack, Lieutenant Spencer has requested permission to stay on the planet until 22:00 as he has found a species of plant life which only blooms at night and his scans reveal that it may have some form of healing properties." He explained. I thought about it for a minute. "Not this time Tom, we have to lift off in 2 hours if we are stick to our schedule and rendezvous with the Dauntless in 15 hours and finish the survey of this sector." I explained. The Dauntless was due to take over from us and finish the survey which would take another 3 weeks, this was so Voyager could return home and take the president, the chief of Starfleet and the head of Starfleet intelligence as well as my mother, father and Admiral Janeway to a top secret meeting which was being held on Andoria. The president herself had requested Voyager specifically. "Understood Jack, we will start heading back." Tom replied after a minute. "Very good, report to me when you're back on board. Carter out." I said. I sorted out the last few pads on my desk before finally rising and moving over to my sofa where I sat with a fresh cup of coffee. I looked out of the window for a little while and just let my mind wander before I was interrupted by the door chime. "Come in." I said. The doors opened and in walked Tom, looking hot as ever with very red cheeks. "Catch the sun I see." I said to him as he sat next to me. "Yeah this planet is amazing Jack, we should really think about coming here on vacation. It's perfect and what's more it's uninhabited." He explained. "We shall see. Are all the teams back on board?" I asked. "All apart from Seven of Nine's. When I spoke with her she said her team were making their way back to the transport sight." He told me. "Good, well then as soon as they are back on board we will run one last scan and then head off." I told him. "Okay, oh and just to advise you Kyle brought a device back on board to study." He told me. "A device?" I asked getting up. "Yeah it was giving off energy readings like we had never seen. B'Elanna assessed it and determined it was safe so I allowed him to beam it to engineering for further study." Tom told me. "Very good, any ideas yet as to what it could be." I asked. "Not yet but I'm pretty sure Kyle will figure it out." Tom replied. "Okay, well you need to go shower and start on your mission report and I will take the bridge. I'll see you when you're done." I told him. "Sure." He replied and kissed me before leaving. I rose and left the ready and took my chair and brought up the arm console to see what the ships status was.
2 hours later and everyone was back on board. "All stations report ready for liftoff Captain." Harry said. "Take us up Mr Paris." I ordered. "Aye sir." He replied and the ship slowly began its accent in to orbit. A short while later and we were back in orbit and ready to complete the mission. "The last phase of the mission is to run a sector wide scan and allow stellar cartography to map the area completely. I want this done in 3 hours, so that we can make our way back to rendezvous with the dauntless." I explained. "Understood." Everyone said. I moved over to Kyle and said "Kyle, any luck in working out what that device that you brought on board is yet." I asked. "Not yet, I was actually about to head to engineering to hook it up to the main computer so I can run a more detailed scan and see if I can get anything from it." He told me. "Very good, I'll join you and see what you find. Tom the bridge is yours." I said as kyle and I entered a turbolift.
20 minutes later I was in engineering and saw the device that Kyle had brought on board. It was gold plated and pyramid shaped which I found very odd. Kyle hooked it up with the computer as I stood and observed. I then moved over to a console and brought up the analysis protocols and began a level 3 analysis of the device. The initial results didn't show anything of consequence apart from the same energy reading which was back on the planet. "I'm going to try a level 4 analysis. See if that shows anything." I said. Kyle walked over and stood with me. I began the analysis and there was some data coming through. As I sat there and reviewed it I was shocked by what I saw and I got a bad feeling in my stomach. "This things internal memory core shows that it was used a number of times and generates a high amount of Chroniton particles." I explained. "What does that mean?" asked Kyle.
"It means that this device is used in some way for time travel." I explained with a serious note in my voice. "Time travel!" Kyle exclaimed. "Yes time travel." I replied. "I want this thing discon..." I was in the middle of saying before I was cut off. "Bridge to the captain." Said Tom. "Go ahead." I replied. "Captain, massive amounts of energy are being drained from ships systems and re-routed to the deflector." Tom explained. "What?" I asked. "He's right, the deflector's power reading it has over 200% more power than it should. But I don't understand how?" Kyle said. "I think I do, it's this device. Disconnect Kyle. I need to get to the bridge. " I said before marching out of engineering and into the turbolift before landing on the bridge. "Report." I said. "The deflector is continuing a power build up, now at 300% above normal." Harry said. "Red Alert." I said. "Bridge to Engineering, Kyle have you disconnected that device." I asked. "I can't sir, it's created a forcefield around it's self and I can't disconnect it." He told me. "Keep trying." I said. "Captain the device is accessing our deflector." B'Elanna told me. "Shut it down." I said. "I can't, I'm locked out." B'Elanna replied. I went over to the engineering station and worked the controls. "I'm going to try an emergency shutdown of the deflector." I explained. I worked the controls but was getting nowhere. Every time I tried something to initiate the shutdown the device was re configure the deflector protocols. "I cant initiate the shutdown." I explained. "Captain, the deflector power output is now at 500% above normal. We have lost warp drive, weapons, shields, impulse and life support on decks 14 and 15 is down to critical levels." Harry told me. "Evacuate those decks." Tom said. "Captain the deflector is activating. It's creating a temporal vortex." B'Elanna told me. "Full reverse. Harry try to cut the power relays to the deflector." I ordered. "Already tried sir. The computer won't allow me access." Within seconds the vortex was fully open and the forces were rough on Voyager. "Captain we are being pulled in." Tom said before a blinding white light appeared.
I woke up on the bridge floor with some consoles sparking and the rest of the bridge crew trying to regain their footing. "Report." I said. "The vortex is closed sir and...." Harry started before he train off. "Lieutenant." I said. "Checking." He replied. "Captain according to these sensors we are at Earth." He said before activating the view screen. "Yeah but the question is when." Tom said. "According to astrometric database, the year is 2012." Said Harry. I turned to look at Tom. "A time of financial upheaval. The worlds economy was in crisis. In England this was also the year where they had the olympics and in America, it was the first black president." I explained. "Captain I would suggest that we move into a high orbit to avoid being detected." Paris said. "Agreed. Do it!" I said. "Captain you're not going to believe this but I'm reading an anti-matter signature on the surface." Harry said. "What?!" i asked. "Yeah I'm reading 1 signature and its coming from the northern continent." Harry said. "Can you localize it?" I asked. "Yes sir, it's coming from Los Angeles." He said. I thought for a second and something about this seemed somewhat familiar and then it clicked. "Starling." I said aloud. "Jack." Tom said coming towards me. "Bridge to Engineering." I said. "Yes Captain." Said Kyle. "Kyle that device is it still working?" I asked. "No sir, it shut down just after we arrived. But I'm pleased to say the power that was being used to channel the deflector has now be restored. The warp core, should be online with a few hours and all other systems will be online within an hour." He told me. "Very good, Now kyle listen that device did it give off any form of chronotron flux?" I asked. "Yes sir as a matter of fact it did. Of .003" Kyle replied and when he said I breathed out heavy and loudly. "Understood Kyle. Carter out." I replied. "Jack... Care to explain." Tom said. "Senior staff to my ready room." I said as well walked down. Kyle arrived a few minutes later and when everyone was there I finally spoke up. "1996. Los Angeles." I said looking at everyone. "Yeah, what about it." B'Elanna said. "Is everyone of you clueless or maybe brainless." I told them. "Jack what are you talking about." Tom said. "I guess I'll just spell it out. 6 years ago we were pulled through a temporal rift and taken back to Earth of 1996 where we encountered Captain Braxton and Henry Starling." I said as people came to the realisation. "Oh god yeah, I remember that. Chakotay, Captain Janeway, Tuvok and I went down to the planet to get back the time ship." Paris said. "Exactly it's also where the doctor got his mobile emitter." I explained. "I don't recall this." Seven said. "You wouldn't it was before you joined the crew. But needless to say we were trapped until we figured out what to do and found our way back home. Now Kyle has said that the device gave off a chronotron flux of .003, to my knowledge this ship has only encountered that twice before. First time was when we were thrown back to 1996 and the second time was when Seven helped prevent the destruction of Voyager by Captain Braxton. I'm going to guess that the device was from the 29th century much like the previous times we had an encounter. It's my belief that the device was meant to bring us here." I said. Everyone looked at me and there was a dead silence before Tom spoke up. "So what do we do now?" he asked. "I don't know but whatever it is we aren't going to figure it out from up here. We need to go down to the surface and find out. Seven get me some exact co-ordinates for that reading. Tom, Paris and Harry you 3 will accompany me down to surface while we investigate what's going on. B'Elanna you will be in command." I told them. "Aye captain" B'Elanna replied. "Then let's get to it. I want you all changed and into clothing from that era in 30 minutes. Make sure you stop by the armoury to pick up a phaser and tricorder each. No rifles and no equipment." I told them. "Kyle while we are on the surface get this ship working again." I told him. "Aye sir." He replied. "Dismissed." I said. At that everyone left to go about their business as me and Tom left the ready room and headed back to our quarters. I went straight for my drawers and pulled out two pairs of jeans, two t-shirts and then went to our closet and found two jackets and two pairs of pumps for us to wear. "This must be heaven for you, to wear these clothes and get to see an era that you are fascinated by." Tom said as he was taking off his jacket and top. "It is sort of exciting. I mean I'm going to be stepping into an era that I've only read about and seen images of." I told him. "Well let's get ready then." He told me. We dressed in the clothes and I styled his hair to suit the time period. I simply left mine as it was with the exception of running my GHD's through it. I then went to the replicator and replicated some cash for us all. I told the computer to replicate $400 for the year 2012 and sure enough it created 4 small piles of money each made up of 2 $20 bills, 4 $10 bills and 4 $5 bills. I put mine into my pocket and then handed Tom his. "What's this for?" he asked. "In case we have to pay for anything." I told him. "That sounds about right." He told me. When we were ready we left the quarters and walked down to the armoury and grabbed some phasers and tricorders before entering a turbolift and heading to the bridge.
When I walked onto the bridge I found Paris and Harry dressed and stood with B'Elanna at Tactical. Paris was in jeans and a shirt with a thin jacket, while Harry was in jeans and t-shirt with a leather jacket. "Gentlemen, $100 each." I said handing them their money. "Good thinking." Paris said. "Combadge's on the inside of your jackets or in your pockets. Phasers and Tricorders in pockets as well please." I said. "Aye sir." They replied. "Now have you found the exact position." I asked. "Yes sir, here are the co-ordinates for the anti-matter reactor signature. But we have another problem." B'Elanna told me. "Well I've been monitoring transmission activity on earth and there is something that keeps popping up. A man named Marcus O'Hanlon, he is some sort of computer designer that worked for chronowerx when Henry Starling was there, anyway now he's moved to a company called NASA which tracks space and are the people responsible for the space shuttle program. A televised broadcast an hour ago said that he saw Voyager in orbit. He described it as the same ship that came and destroyed my former boss Henry Starling. The one that was seen in LA in 1996." She told me. "Well I think we need to catch up with Mr O'Hanlon." I said. "It gets worse he says he has evidence of us being here." She told me. "We need to recover that data and speak to Mr O'Hanlon. Paris, Harry that's your job. Find Mr O'Hanlon and find out what data he has. I would suggest you start at the National Space Centre in Washington." I told them. "How do you know where it is?" Tom asked. "I'm obsessed with this time." I explained. "Tom and I will go after the anti-matter signature and find out what's going on with that." I added. "Aye sir." Everyone said. "We will rendezvous in LA in 12 hours. Let's move." I said and walked into the turbolift.
As we materialised in an alley way I could instantly feel the difference between my earth and this earth. We emerged from the alley and began walking towards the board walk. There were people everywhere all in such a rush. We went towards a railing edge which looked out onto the beach. "This is the exact spot from last time." Paris said. "That's cute Paris but we have work to do." Tom said. "Agreed, Mr Paris, Mr Kim contact the ship and have them transport you to Washington. We will meet back here in 12 hours." I said. "Aye sir." They said before leaving. I pulled my tricorder and stood facing Tom very closely while I worked out the distance from where we were to where the source of the anti-matter readings were coming from. "You know I could get used to this." Tom said. "What?" I asked. "This..." he said before he pulled me closer n kissed me. I immediately pulled away. "What is it baby?" he asked. "Tom there a few things I should tell you. In this time people were as accepting about gay people like they are in our time. There was still a lot of homophobic abuse that happened and I just don't want anything to happen." I told him. "Okay babe. Well where do we go?" he said trying to change the subject. "According to this the reading are 9 kilometres east of here." I told him. "That could take some time to walk that far." He told me. "Yeah, next bet... we need a car." I told him. "Where do we get one?" he asked me. "A garage." I told him. "What?" he asked. "In this time when people wanted to buy a car, they went to a garage and got one. Or when they were home they parked their car in the garage. There's a housing area 5 minutes walk from here. Let's go." I said and we walked away
5 minutes later and we were walking down a street that had kids playing outside and people looking after their gardens. At the top of the street was a bigger house that was set apart from the rest. I saw that there was no-one near the house so walked closer. I pulled out my tricorder and ran a scan. No one was in the house or round the area of the house and there was a car parked in the garage. The computer had identified it as a Audi R8. "There's a car in this garage." I said. Tom and I slowly walked up the drive way and no one even flinched or looked at us. "Use your tricorder to open the garage. I'll keep a look out." He said. I worked the controls of my tricorder and the door to the garage started to raise up. "Done." I said. "When the owners come back they are going to call the police and they will be able to track this car." I told Tom. "How?" he asked. "With this licence plate" I told him. "Can we get a new one from the ship?" he asked. "Yeah I think so." I replied I touched my commbadge. "Carter to Voyager." I said. "Yes captain." B'Elanna replied. "B'Elanna I want you to go into the main database and look for a car licence plate that was never before used for an Audi R8 car and replicate it and then send me it down." I told her. "Aye sir, Tom has told me a lot of this so it should be easy. Stand by." She said. I turned to Tom, "Let's get in." I scanned the car and there was no signs of an alarm and the doors were open. I opened the door and saw that it was a very stylish car. "This car must belong to someone with a lot of money." Tom said. "I think so." I replied. I got in the driver's side and pulled down the visor to have the keys fall down on my lap. "Torres to Carter, standby for transport." She said. The was a hum followed by a blue light and suddenly the licence plate appeared. "Got it. Carter out." I said. I withdrew my phaser and fired at the licence plate that was already there and it melted away. I then tuned my phaser to a lower frequency and fired in the small holes and the plate moulded with the car and well and truly attached. "Let's get moving before someone comes back." I said. We both got in the car and I put the eyes in the initiation and turned the keys. The car started and Tom looked at me. "Can you drive this thing?" he asked. "Tom I've piloted Voyager through a Kazon attack, I'm pretty sure I can handle the car." I told him. I put the gear leaver in the R position and slowly drove off the drive and on to the street, before moving the gear leaver into the D position and driving off. "You have done this before haven't you." He said. "Tom I hold a drivers licence on earth in our time. My mother and father thought it was a good idea. Plus I have done this with Paris on the holodeck a lot." I said. Driving was great I loved it. I came to the end of the road and indicated Left to come out of the street and onto the main road and then pulled out when it was safe. I pulled my tricorder out and handed it to Tom and told him to direct me to the co-ordinates. He opened it and began to direct me. "Take a left here." He said to me I continued to drive and follow his instructions and then we hit the freeway and I had to try to merge on, "Jack you can't do this." He kept saying to me. "Tom, I'm the captain now shut up." I said as I eventually merged onto the freeway. After an hour of driving and following Tom's directions we eventually came to a housing estate. "This house coming up on the right." Tom told me. I stopped and pulled up outside the house. "From in there?" I asked. "Yeah, the anti-matter signature is coming from their basement." He told me. "Any idea is someone is home?" I asked looking around the street. Two kids went past me on bikes and I smiled. One was a blonde haired boy around 5 or 6 and the other was a girl with brown hair and she was about 4 or 5 on a little pink bike. "I wanna do that with our kids." I told him. "We will one day baby." He told me. "Looks like there is no one home." Tom said. "Then let's go and check it out." I said as we got out the car and headed for the house. We walked up to the front door as Tom handed me my tricorder. I scanned the house for an alarm. None. I tried the door and it was open. We walked in to the house and it looked fairly normal. I found some paper on the side and picked it up and read it. "This guy is called Dylan Saunders. And it looks like he has some debt issues." I said showing Tom. "What's a Mastercard?" he asked me. "In this era they had what called credit cards, where a company would give you a card with money on it and you would have to pay back whatever you spent on it. It was one of the corner stone's that lead to the eventual abolishment of money all together." I told him. "Well according to this, Dylan has to pay $5,000 very soon." Tom replied. "Well that's down to him, now let's find the basement" I said pulling my phaser out of my pocket.
After looking around the house for 5 minutes we eventually found the door to the basement. "Here" said Tom. He scanned the room from where we were. "I can't get any readings, the anti mater signature is too strong, it's deflecting my scans. He told me. "Let's go in, stand ready." I said. I opened the door and went straight in and ran down the stairs to find a man working with what looked a reactor. "Stop where you are." I said holding my phaser up. "Who are you? He asked. "Never mind that, what the hell are you doing here?" I asked. "What do you mean this is my house?" he replied. "There's a strange energy coming from this house, so what is going on down here?" I asked. "I'm not answering any of your questions until I see a warrant or something." The man replied. "We don't need a warrant, we are on official business. Now answer the question." Tom said also pointing his phaser at him. "I was given this technology to study. Major Davis from the pentagon asked me to study it. It was found at the chronowerx building 16 years ago and was being held in storage until last week when I was given it. Major Davis told me that it was important and that I was to contact Marcus O'Hanlon when I found out." He explained. "And that's all you know." Tom asked. "Yeah, Marcus is on his way here, he left Washington an hour ago." Dylan replied. "And what are you getting out of all of this?" I asked. "$50,000." He replied. "Should help clear some debts wouldn't you say." I replied. The man went silent and looked at the ground. "So have you worked out what it is?" I asked. "Yeah, it's an engine. But something from way into the future." He said. "What is Marcus planning to use this for?" Tom asked. "He said he was going to use to make a photon torpedo whatever the hell that is." Dylan replied I walked over to the device and looked at it. It was a reactor. An anti-matter reactor that was from beyond our timeline. That was the moment when he choose to knock the phaser out of my hand and push me to the ground. He ran at Tom and knocked him down before he ran out of the house. "Damn." I said getting up and helping Tom up. "Where did he go?" I asked. "I dunno but I don't think he will have gotten far." He replied. "We need to get this thing to the ship." I said. "Carter to Voyager." I said hitting my commbadge. "Go ahead." Said B'Elanna. "We have found the reactor. Prepare to transport it to Cargo bay 1 and secure it within a forcefield." I said. "Understood." B'Elanna said. I grabbed Tom's commbadge and attached it to the reactor. "Lock in on Tom's commbadge and energise." I said. There was a hum and a blue light and the reactor disappeared. "Target Obtained." B'Elanna said. "Very good, Contact Paris and Kim and have them rendezvous with us in LA, Marcus has left Washington." I replied. "Aye sir." B'Elanna said. "Carter out." I replied. "Let's go." I said.
Half hour later Tom and I found a car park and contacted Harry and Paris and told them to meet us there. We sat in the car and talked when Tom said, "God I don't no what it is, but being in this car is making me major horny." I smiled. "Well we could always do it in the back." I said pointing to the back seats. That was all the inspiration Tom needed before he climbed into the back of the car and dragged me through. Without hesitation Tom unzipped his jeans and pulled out his flaccid cock, shocking me as Tom pushed himself against the car so his back was pressed against it and his flaccid cock was point right at me, right near my face. I instantly began to take Tom's cock into my mouth and sucked hard. "mmmm yeah that's it, suck it" Tom moaned. I had a quick look around to see if anyone was around to catch them but luckily there was no-one to be seen. Tom's cock was stood to attention at 8.5-inches and I loved it. I lovingly sucked hard on the big mushroom head, sending shivers down Tom's spine as he lightly thrust his cock into my mouth, desperate for his cock to feel more of my lips. "Aww yeah keep goin'" Tom groaned. In reality Tom was close and as I took more and more of his cock within my mouth, he could feel his load rising in his balls. The thrill of being out in public obviously making Tom extra horny, he wasn't exactly sure what he'd do if we got caught! "Get ready baby I'm gonna cum!" Tom groaned and thrust his cock lightly into my mouth one more time before his cock exploded. "Awww yeah!" Tom groaned. I clamped my lips around Tom's cock hard as burst after burst of cum shot from Tom's dick and into my willing mouth, filling it full of slimy spunk. Tom let out a satisfied sigh of pleasure as he eventually withdrew his softening cock from my mouth and was about to put it back into his jeans but I stopped him, taking one last suck before allowing Tom to put it away. He pushed his cock into his jeans and zipped them up before my commbadge went off. "Paris to Carter" came Paris' Voice. "Go ahead." I said. "Captain, we can see the car we approaching your position." He said. "Understood, we are waiting." I said. "On our way sir. Paris out." He said and comm closed. Tom and I both got out the car and saw Harry and Tom approaching. They climbed into the back of the car as we got in the front and then shut the door. "I would suggest we drive. The police of this time don't take kindly to people loitering in car parks." Paris said. "Agreed." I said and started the car and began to drive. "How did you guys get on in Washington?" I asked. "We recovered the data from Marcus and found out what he knows, which in fairness is that Voyager is now in orbit and is tracking us by our warp emissions like Starling did. We did listen into a phone call he was having with someone saying that he would meet them today at 4:30pm in the west LA shopping mall on the second floor." Paris explained. "He's meeting Dylan." I said to Tom. "Who's Dylan?" asked Harry. "The person we met when we found the source of the anti-matter readings. He is working for Marcus who wanted to use the reactor to make a photon torpedo. Apparently they have someone called Major Davis involved from the pentagon." I explained. "The pentagon, that's a facility controlled by the United States Military." Paris told me. "Well it stands to reason that Marcus was going to make the torpedo and then sell it to Major Davis and the pentagon." Tom said. "True, so all we have to do intercept this meeting and grab all 3 of them, get them back to Voyager and find out what they know." I said. "The meeting is in 20 minutes, we need to get to that mall." Harry said. "I'm getting the directions." He added. He then began to direct me to the mall.
We parked the car and headed inside the shopping centre which was covered in people. We looked around and moved through the crowds of people when Paris spoke up. "I'm detecting Anti-matter residue signatures, like someone who handled a reactor and not cleaned themselves after." He told me. "Where?" I asked. He pointed and I looked at spotted Dylan. "Split up we will approach this from both angles." I said. Tom followed me while Paris and Kim moved off. We stood near where Dylan was stood but out of sight and I could also see Paris and Kim from where I was. Dylan soon got some visitors, a guy wearing a military uniform and a guy in a suit. My tricorder began to bleep. I pulled it out and looked at it, `MSG FRM PARIS: THAT'S THEM' the display read. I looked at Tom and nodded. I nodded at my Tom and said "Let's move." We pulled out our phasers and headed in Dylans direction when he spotted us and told the others. The other two withdrew weapons and began to fire causing panic amongst the people and a lot of screaming. Dylan took off in one direction, the Major went another and Marcus another. "Tom, Harry go after Marcus, Paris get after Dylan. I'm going to take on the major." I shouted. The major was heading down an escalator and shot at me but missed. I fired my phaser and also missed. He was now down on the floor below. I shot up at me again and again missed. I climbed over the railings that were in the centre of the mall and jumped down to the floor below landing on the floor. I got up and ran after the Major. "Stop!" I shouted as I ran after him. I was getting closer but he dove around and headed around a corner. I took aim with my phaser made a quick check that it was on stun and then fired catching him the back. He dropped straight to the floor. People were shocked. I went over to him and picked him up and dragged him over to the side out of the way. Paris soon returned with Dylan walking with a phaser in his back to stop him from going anywhere and eventually Tom and Harry returned with Marcus also stunned. "Let's get back to Voyager." I said. We entered an area which was out of the way of everyone and transported back to Voyager.
"Welcome aboard." I said as I walked into the brig and looked at the 3 men sat there. "What the hell is this?" asked the Major. "Now, now major that's no way to speak to a captain." I said feeling so much better now that I was back in my uniform. "A captain is a lower rank than a major actually." He said. "In some cases yes, but in this case no. This isn't the military of the 21st century anymore, your on board a starship from the 24th century and now I'm here to find out what you're up to. As far as my rank, I'm the captain of this ship, so just think of me as your colonel." I explained. "Then it is true, this is the ship that came to us in 1996." Said Marcus. "Yes it is." I replied. "So you're the ones who killed Henry Starling." He asked. "That's right." I replied. "So I guess that makes you Captain Janeway." He said looking at me. "Actually no, Admiral Janeway is back on earth in my time and as you can tell by the title was promoted. I'm Captain Jack Carter." I replied. "So how long do you think you can keep us here." The Major asked. "As long as it takes for you to tell me all that I need to know. Don't worry I won't bore you, I have your reactor back on board this ship which is where it belongs. What I want to know is where you found it and how you discovered how to build a photon torpedo and where the components are for that." I said. "For someone from the future you're not all that smart, especially considering you've come back to a time 16 years after the last time." Said Marcus. "It all goes back to chronowerx. Starling downloaded this ships database and you found it and worked out what a photon torpedo was, and started to build one but there was one thing missing the anti-matter required for the warhead. So how did you get your hands on the reactor?" I asked. "That part was simple. A science team was in the Antarctic and discovered it. I don't how but when the pentagon found out we got our hands on it. I then bought the reactor from Major Davis and found out that it was what I needed to complete the weapon. I told him he could have the weapons at a reduced price if I could have the reactor. I then recruited Dylan who was a scientist who recently lost his job and the rest is history." Said Marcus. "How many of these weapons did you make?" Tom asked. "250" Marcus replied. "Why are you telling us this now?" I asked. "Because once I escape from here, I can get more technology from ship before I destroy you with those weapons." He explained. "Good luck." I replied before I left the brig. "We need to go to chronowerx and get those weapons." I told Tom.
As I walked into the Chronowerx building I was surprised by the lack of security. "Can I help you gentlemen?" asked a guard. Spoke to soon. "Yes I'm here on behalf of Major Davis and Mr O'Hanlon, we have come to do an inspection of the weapons. We're with the pentagon." I replied. "Follow me." He said. I smiled at Tom. He lead us to the room where the weapons were being held and all across the room the weapons were set up. "That will be all." I replied. "If there is anything you need to hesitate to ask." He said and left. Tom and I quickly went round a did a count. "249 in total." Tom said. "There's one missing." I replied. I went to the computer near the front of the room and began to work away. "One of the torpedoes was loaded on to a truck and is en route to a test site for testing." I told him. "We have to catch it." He told me. "Agreed. But first we need to get these weapons to Voyager." I told him. "Carter to Voyager" I said. "Yes Captain." Came Paris' voice. "Prepare to beam 249 torpedoes on board to cargo bay 2 and prepare to beam us back." I ordered. "249 sir, I thought there was 250." He said. "I'll explain when I'm back on board." I replied. "Aye sir. Stand By" he said. A moment later he came back on the comm. "Ready to energise." He said. "Do it." I replied. A moment later and all the torpedoes were beamed up and an alarm was set off in the building. "We need to go. I've got the tracker's frequency for the truck." I said. "Stop!" said the man who had originally come in to the room with us. "We took cover behind a crate and Tom fired his phaser "Carter to Voyager 2 beam directly to the bridge." I said in a whisper. Gun shots were being fired as we were beamed straight to the bridge. I stood up and walked over to Harry and gave him my tricorder. "Get the tracker frequency out of her and locate it." I told him. "Mr Paris prepare to begin a decent." I told him. "Sir." He replied. "Jack the last time that happened we were seen." B'Elanna replied. "I don't care we have to get that last torpedo." I told them "Aye sir." Said Paris. "Security to the bridge we have a...." and then comm went dead. "B'Elanna?" I asked. "We have a breach. The prisoners have escaped and are heading for the shuttlebay." She said. "Lock out the shuttlebay." I replied. "Too late there in a shuttle." She told me. "Seal the space doors." I told her. "I can't they have overridden the security system. They have left Voyager." She said. "Pursue." I ordered. "Captain they are heading for the surface." Paris said. "Harry can you get that tracker frequency?" I asked. "Already have sir, the computer is triangulating." He said. "When you have the co-ordinates send them to the helm. Mr Paris lay in a decent vector and follow that shuttle." I ordered. "Aye sir." He replied
10 minutes later and we were going through the upper atmosphere "Got the shuttle on sensors." B'Elanna told me. "Lock target." I ordered. "Hail them." I added. The viewscreen came to life and there sat Marcus and Major Davis while Dylan was in the back. "Stand down or I will open fire." I said. "Never this ship is a technological marvel. I can make weapons and more money than I had ever dreamed with this." Marcus said. "I can't allow that." I replied. "Well that's just tough look." Marcus replied and ended the channel. "B'Elanna target them and fire." I said. I heard the computer target and fire and watched as the shuttle was destroyed. "Coming up on the truck." Said Paris. We were now in the lower atmosphere flying right above the city and heading away to an open desert. "I can see it." Harry said. "B'Elanna lock phasers." I ordered. "Locked." She replied. "Fire." I shouted and she let loose a phaser strike and destroyed the truck with a nice big explosion. "Paris take us up." I ordered. "Aye sir." He replied. It only took a matter of moments to get back to orbit. "Mission accomplished." I said as I sat in my chair. "Not quite how are we planning to get back to our own time." Tom said. "I think we are about to find out." Said Harry. "We have a temporal rift opening directly ahead and a vessel is emerging." He added. "Hail them." I ordered. "On screen." Harry said. The viewscreen came to life and there sat Captain Braxton. "Captain Braxton." I said. "Hello Captain, and congratulations. You have done the temporal integrity commission proud. We knew you could achieve this mission given Voyagers previous history with chronowerx and Henry Starling. Prepare to follow me back into the rift and I shall return you to your own time at the exact time you left. Don't worry you won't have been missed." He told me. "I appreciate that Captain thank you." He said. "It's not a problem Jack. Braxton out." He said. The viewscreen went black and the smaller ship began to turn and head for the rift. "Mr Paris, follow him in." I ordered. "With pleasure sir." He replied smiling and slowly we headed for the rift.
Captain's personal log stardate 59827.4 it's been 8 hours since we returned through the temporal rift. The handover with the dauntless has been completed and we are now en-route back to earth. I very much enjoyed explaining to Admiral Janeway the events that occurred. She is eagerly awaiting my report on our journey back to the past. I'm looking forward to our upcoming mission and spending some time with my mum and dad as well as the kids and Tom. All in all everything is going well. End log. Feedback always welcome. Love hearing from readers. Sorry it has taken so long. Been very busy with work etc. Happy Reading
