The war had taken a turn for the worst for the United Federation of planets, Two years after repairing the damage done to the timeline, the USS Defiant NX-2054 was destroyed by a prototype destroyer created by 'The Unity'. Taking advantage of the situation, Hikaru Sulu pushed his huge fleet further into Federation space, Swiftly they found the last remnants of the Klingon Empire and destroyed them… Finally Starfleet was alone.

Six Months after the death of the crew of the USS Defiant, Hikaru Sulu discovered his daughter interned in a classified prison camp. Greeting her back he eventually gave her half of his vast Empire to monitor and protect yet her eyes where as envious as his. Quickly she established a huge fleet and invaded her father's half of the empire. After assassinating her father Demora Sulu assumed control of her father's Empire…

Now in a self imposed exile, the new Romulan Empire grows stronger by the day under the command of daughter of Hikaru Sulu.

Taking a sigh of relive Starfleet has taken it upon it's self to rebuild it's fleet as quickly as possible, yet now the darkness looms over them as they wait for the dawn… the time when the 'New Empire' will attack…

Stardate 2318.04

The large hall filled with Starfleet Marine personnel for the court martial, over 2'000 marines awaited this trail for three weeks at the end of the large hall facing the doors stood a large desk with six marine Generals. Slowly the main doors opened as security officers brought in the accused, shackled at her wrists and feet she shuffled in front of the desk to await his sentencing. The first to speak was an old Major General, his face scarred from many battles, his eyes weary from countless kills.

"Lieutenant, you are charged with gross insubordination, assaulting several Starfleet officers including your commanding officer. How do you plead?"

Slowly the Lieutenant looked up with a slight smile and spoke with a tone the echoed threw the halls.

"Guilty, but with a really good excuse sir!"

"Lieutenant, this court has heard the particulars of your crimes. Although your record is less then spotless, you have stood before this court no less then two times on charges of insubordination and assault. Your reckless behaviour has been noted"

Standing from his seat he looked at the Lieutenant and smiled coldly as he laid down his sentence.

"First Lieutenant Kristine Catherine Walker, it is the decision of this court you be removed of rank and dishonourably discharged from the Marine corps and banned from serving in the Federation in any aspect. As a result you will be taken to the Federation Penal Settlement near Auckland, New Zealand. There you will spend no less than six months, however, since on the journey to Earth you spent six months in a holding cell, time served. Case closed"

Groans of disappointment echoed threw the halls as the one time Marine First Lieutenant was lead out of the great hall by the security officers.

Stardate 2320.04

(Two years later)

A lone quiet temple hidden away in a sparsely populated area of planet Vulcan, a lone young human female sat alone in silent meditation as the desert wind howled threw huge columns that echoed with Tibetan design of ancient Earth.

Barely clothed by the robes she wore, she sat alone with her eyes closed and breathing deeply. Voices and a place she had never been rang threw her mind as the unmistakable sound of explosions and red alert claxons echoed over the voices. Tears rolled down her cheeks as her eyes darted around under her eyelids as her face twisted and contorted with pain and fear, in her mind a final explosion and the sound of screaming and air rushing out of the room filled her mind as her eyes sprang open and she yelled out in panic.

"NOOO!"

Her heart raced as she gasped for air in the thin atmosphere of the alien planet, her body shaking she stood and held her hands on top of her head and breathed deeply as her heart finally returned to it's normal rate.

"What the hell was that?"

Shaking she left the sanctuary of the temple, as she walked too her bed she ran her left hand over the walls to stabilise herself. Slowly her strength returned as she fell onto the hard granite slab that was her bed as she whipped the tears from her face. Slowly a voice came from outside as she looked up at the open doorway.

"It was a powerful vision you had, tell me about it?"

"Not now… I need to make sense of it first"

"As you wish… as always miss, we are here too assist you. You have come along way from the angry young female who fell into the temple six months ago"

Slowly she looked down too the floor and smiled nervously as the Buddhist monk left her, their was something unusual about this man, something she had always felt a little strange seeing a Vulcan taking up residence and studying in a Buddhist sanctuary. Slowly she called out.

"I… I think I saw my father's death"

The Buddhist Vulcan returned too her doorway and spoke softly.

"As I said, a powerful vision. I know you never knew your father… May I speak freely?"

"Of course… I expect nothing else" She replied softly.

"Colonel Walker was good and decent man, I had more then a few disagreements with him over the years leading too his death. I even objected too his reinstatement and appointment as Commander of his ship, yet he had proven me wrong time and time again and I respect him for that. You are more alike him then you know Miss Walker, you also have struggled with issues of anger, history has repeated it's self with your discharge from the service. Yet I see your mother in you also… her passion and love of life"

"Why are you telling me this?" She replied slowly.

Slowly he entered her room and sat next too her on her stone bed before replying.

"I have never told you this… I believed it would set back your progress. But I have something of your father locked away in the vault. I have kept it for years… I want you too have it"

Her face changed to pure surprise as she looked at him and nodded softly, slowly they both stood and made their way to the large vault. Stepping inside she looked around in shock at what she was seeing, Starfleet uniforms carefully folded and carefully placed on shelves, obviously mementos of someone's Starfleet career. Softly she ran her hand over one of the old uniforms, an old blue Sciences uniform… for a moment her eyes froze on the insignia as she looked up at the tall Vulcan before her as he nodded softly.

"These are yours?"

"Mementos of a former life Miss Walker. No one has seen these uniforms in years. Follow me please"

Her eyes searched his aging face as he walked too the rear of the vault and picked up a large box and handed it too her, tears rolled down her face as she opened it.

"Is this?"

"Your fathers uniform and medals… I was given this box many years ago by an old friend, he asked me to preserve it… now it is yours"

Choking back her tears she carefully lifted the uniform out of the box and held it tight against her chest, yet something caught her eye, a small photo on the bottom of the box. Carefully she placed the uniform down on the clean floor and picked up the photo.

"That picture was taken before your father's last mission, it is the last picture of him"

"Oh my god… is that?"

"Your mother…"

"She was so young and beautiful… I barely remember her. Look at her, she's…"

"I believe the word is… Happy"

Glistening in the bottom of the box was a small ring, smiling she picked it up and examined it, slowly her eyes fell on a tiny inscription inside the ring… with a nervous laugh she read it out loud.

" Mia, my love forever. Ryan"

Trembling and barely able to hold the tiny ring she placed it on a finger on her right and smiled with tears.

"Thank you…"

"They belong too you Miss Walker… They always have"

"What do I do now?"

The next words from his lips shocked her, she had never heard a Vulcan use these words before yet they seemed to sooth her as he knelt down beside her.

"What does your heart say?"

"My heart?… My heart says… I'm finally at peace. Thank you sir"

"Perhaps you should speak too a friend of mine… You may like what he has too say Miss Walker"

"Miss Walker?… no, call me… call me Kasey"

The only remnants of a Vulcan left in this unusual man came to light as he raised one eyebrow as if to question her about the name.

"Kasey… it was a nickname I picked up during my service in the Corps. Kristine Catherine… K.C. swiftly became Kasey. Who is this friend?"

"We have all been waiting for you too reach this point… Kasey. She is a young scientist named Walsh, you should pay her a visit… She has an interesting tale too tell you"

Sitting on the cold hard floor next too her, he gave her directions to find the scientist and told her too take the only piece of 24th century technology in the temple, a small single shuttle pod.

After changing from the robes she had worn during her time a the temple she walked towards the small shuttle and froze for a moment, with the Vulcan at her side she looked at him with shock as he spoke.

"This pod was on Earth for a refit while it's mother ship was issued a replacement. It is the only surviving piece of it's mother ship in existence… apart from debris"

Slowly she approached the vessel and ran her hand across the name of it's mother ship as she read it out loud.

"USS Defiant NX-2054 Shuttle pod two… how did you…?"

"This pod was the personal craft of an old friend, after the destruction of the Defiant, it was given too me ten years ago by an old friend and former Commanding Officer… James T. Kirk"

"Jim K.. Your…"

"I gave up my name many years ago… however my name at birth was Spock"

Three Hours Later…

Her head was still spinning from the revelations she had been told earlier by her teacher, she couldn't believe what she was told, for months she had been learning from him yet the secrets he had kept from her made her angry, yet happy at the same time. As she sat in the pilot's seat she was overwhelmed by the feeling that the father she had never met must have once sat in this very seat, she could almost feel his presence wrapping his arms around her and guiding her hands as she piloted the tiny vessel.

Slowly she approached a large cavern as directed by her mentor.

"That must be the place. Computer, begin landing procedures"

The shuttle's computer beeped as it began to land, on the tiny landing pad the form of a woman appeared from deep inside the large cavern and waved as the shuttle touched down. As she exited the vessel the woman spoke.

"Kasey Walker? Follow me, I've been expecting you"

"Of course"

Threw the winding caves they finally entered a large hidden cavern filled with humming equipment, the noise was almost unbearable as they walked to a desk where a man sat shuffling threw papers. Raising her hand to Kasey she asked her to stay where she is while she walked towards the man and spoke softly.

He was an unusual man, tall.. In his early thirties yet with an appearance she almost recognised as he walked towards her and spoke faster then normal.

"Kasey Walker… It is you… Yep, Yep, Yep. Glad you're here finally… Follow us quickly, quickly"

With a questioning look to the young woman she followed them to the back of the large cavern. As quickly as he spoke the man walked as the woman spoke too her.

"What's wrong with him?"

"It's gonna take some time to explain… I assume Spock told you why you are here?"

"He didn't tell me anything"

"Damn it, alright we'll start at the beginning. Five years ago… we created a new technology capable of transporting a person back in time. He was the first too try it… He transported back fifteen minutes and left a message for us. Each time he went back further, however… a month a go he went back for a fifth time… he went back twenty years, when he returned he was different. We call it 'Temporal Psychosis' We could not have known at the time but travelling back more then five times puts an enormous stress on the mind… it can change a person into… well what he's become"

"Holy Crap, is he okay?"

The young woman stopped and looked into her eyes before replying.

"No… He's not. We've isolated a point in time that can alter history for the better… the Empire will not exist. You don't know this but we intercepted a private communication between Starfleet officers, they believe if the war continues at it's present rate… The Federation will have no choice but too surrender to the Empire within the year"

"So why am I here? You want me too go back and change history?" She laughed.

"Exactly… Two weeks ago I went back to Stardate 2395.143... I see you recognise the date. I input your file into Federation databanks, with a few alterations of course"

"Why me?" She asked nervously.

"Kasey, I'm a scientist, not a Marine… You're name will be First Lieutenant Kasey Anne Williams, Starfleet Marine. You'll be posted aboard the USS Defiant NX-2054 as a security officer… You have to stop that ship being destroyed by the Chimera, We already have a Marine uniform from the time period and the equipment needed too assist you"

Her eyes widened as she ran her fingers threw her hair and replied quickly.

"Why can't you go back? What, why?"

"Kasey, I've already been back four times. I risk ending up like Kirk over their"

"Kirk?" She questioned.

"You mean you don't know? That's Kirk Barrett. Son of James Kirk and Juliana Barrett"

"WHAT?"

"One thing, You can't tell anyone who you really are, or why you are their, especially the commanding officer of the ship. Do you understand?"

After leading her into a back room, she began to explain everything about the temporal transporter device as she changed into the period uniform, slowly she removed some of the insignias and medal banners and replaced them with her fathers before stepping out of the changing room.

"So all I have to is stop the Chimera? The largest and most powerful enemy ship of it's time that out classes the Defiant in everything?"

"Off the deep end… Yes"

"So how do you propose I do that? Ask them too leave the Defiant alone?"

Reaching into her pocket Walsh picked out a small data chip and placed it in her hand.

"It has the complete schematics of the Chimera, hopefully your father and his crew can find a solution… Tell them, tell them you stole it from an Imperial shipyard. Your classed as an undercover operative"

"Make it easier for my Dad to relate to me?"

"Exactly. One thing… When you step into the transporter, you'll feel the standard effect, once you materialise however… it's a different story. You'll feel like your arms and legs are on fire for a split second, then an intense headache… but it will quickly pass"

With a distressed look in her eyes she laughed nervously as she followed Walsh to a control station, As she picked up a small Vulcan Hypospray she looked down at it nervously.

"What now?"

"A sub-dermal transponder… Everyone on the Defiant has one. You won't be allowed on the ship with out it, we managed to clone one from an existing example. Don't worry it'll pass inspection… One more thing, this is…"

Cutting her sentence short was the alert signal. Quickly they ran to a security screen.

"Damn it, Starfleet Security, they've found us. Kasey… Go NOW!"

With intruders quickly entering the complex Kasey ran into the transporter platform as Walsh engaged the system, the loud humming in the cavern became unbearable as the system engaged, slowly she was enveloped in a dark red and green energy field then disappeared into the past. Smiling Walsh looked up at her companion who simply looked at her in shock as he spoke rapidly.

"You forgot something… Yes you did, yes you did"

"What?"

Her eyes widened and her face went pail as she looked at the piece of equipment shaking in his hands.

"Ohh my god… The return module"

"Yep, yep, yep. She can't return… Nope, nope, nope can't return she can never return never, never, never"
