Author's Note
I'm writing this crossover, because I felt that there needed to be a crossover of star trek and the planet of the apes. Both were a big hit in the 70's and if written right the paring could be an awesome story. I just hope that I'll write it were people will like it.
I'll place the story in the orignal planet of the apes, but in the past, before Taylor's ship landed on the planet and see how it will chang history. All so, the planet will not be Earth just one that is similar to it, so it kind of is a mix of the orignal planet of the apes and the Tim Barton planet of the apes in 2001. Hope that is not confusing for you, just remember the apes look like the orignal ones.
I've chosen the U.S.S Voyager crew for the crossover, because it's my favorite crew and I thought it would be batter in the Delta Quadrant.
I might change the name. I don't like the name, but I could not think of something else.
Voyager discovers the Planet of the Apes
Chapter One
The Report and Old Scrolls
On the U.S.S Voyager
Capetian Kathryn Janeway was sitting in her ready room at her desk, drinking a cup of coffee, and going over some reports about near by planets, stars, ect. The door chime sounded.
"Come." said the Captain. Commander Chakotay walked into the room with a pad that looked like another report in hand.
"Captain, long ranged sensors just spotted a very interesting planet an hour away at warp nine." he said. Judging from his smile and the way he said it, Janeway know he wanted to go check out this planet for some reason.
"What's so interesting about this planet, Chakotay?" she asked him, before she took another sip of her coffee.
"I'm glad you asked that, Captain. From what our sensors are telling us, the planet is very similar to Earth, but there is evidence of a nuclear war. I think it would be a good idea to investigate it." he said then handed her the pad. She looked over the report, the planet was a little bit off of their path and would probably delay their return to home by a day, maybe more, but it has been over a month since the last time they found something interesting and since the planet was similar to Earth. It might have eatable plants that could replenish their food supply.
"Alright then, let's go see what we can find on this planet. Change our heading and we should only go at warp four, nothing higher. B'Elanna says there is something wrong with the plasma relays, but she cannot find a way to fix them." she said.
"That is unfortunate. On warp four it will take us a whole day to get there." he said. His smile went away from hearing the bad news.
Don't worry, I'm sure she will find a way to fix it. Your dismissed." she said. She gave back the pad to Chakotay. His smile came back, but he was still not as happy as he was when he came in the ready room.
"You wouldn't be disappointed, Captain. I'm sure we will find something of interest there." he said before he left the ready room. The Captain finished off her coffee and was done looking over the reports. Her eyes were hurting from looking at the pads to long, but she had to go on the bridge for her shift, which will only last for two hours and then she could go to her quarters and get some rest.
On the Planet of the Apes
It was late at night most of the apes were asleep at their homes, but there were a few apes awake and working. One of those apes was a young, orangutan priest named Doyok. He was reading or was trying to read an ancient scroll dating back to the time of the Lawgiver. A week ago a team of archeologist found fifty-six scrolls in a cave deep in the forest. It was now his job to interpret what they say and make one copy of each of them, then give them to the Ape council to look over. If they decide that the Lawgiver did make them, then the scrolls will be put into a museum, more copies will be made, and apes of all ages will learn from them.
"This does not make sence." he said to himself. The more he read the more confusing it was. The scroll was talking about a place called Earth. The scroll says
" We will never again see Earth, but we have made this place our new home and we have built duplicates of some of Earth's most famous structures like the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty to make it feel more like home."
Doyok never heard of Earth or these other structures. At first he thought Earth might be the Lawgiver's place of birth, but the more he read it seemed like the Lawgiver did not write this scroll or any of the scrolls. As he looked at the scroll, he believed it was much older than thought. It looked like it was a thousand-years older than any other scrolls the Lawgiver made, but that is impossible. He put down the scroll and packed up another scroll that he already looked over, it said.
"One of the chimpanzees named Ceaser, has gone missing and it is believed that he is armed and dangerous. "
Even though he could only translate that one sentence from the scroll, it confused him more than any of the others. Why would a chimpanzee be considered dangerous, ape does not kill ape. Whose he a prisoner that escaped from jail and took a weapon from a guard? He put down the scroll, his head began to ache and he could no longer think straight.
"Perhaps I should go to sleep. Maybe one of the other scrolls holds the answers I seek." he said to himself. He got up and left the room to go to his house where his new wife was at. She most likely stayed up waiting for him and will have a plate of cooled food on the table.
Hope that this chapter was not too boring for you. I'll try to make the next one more interesting.
Please review and thanks for reading.
