Okay, this is the first chapter of my new stoooooryyyyy. I'll probably keep the title Other Plans.
Disclaimer:If I owned anything other than the Phandorans, said disclaimer wouldn't be here and neither would I.

A red-haired figure sat in the seat of her window, over-looking the beautiful planet of Phandora. The silky locks of hair cascaded down the figure's back, barely visible in the dark of the night. Uniquely bright blue eyes surveyed the structures of her civilization. The figure, a woman of twenty, guessed the time was somewhere around mid-night. Her light colored night clothes contrasted heavily against her tanned skin. The woman stood from her position on her window seat and moved gracefully quiet around her spacious room. All other living creatures residing in the palace slept peacefully, anticipating the events tomorrow would bring. A bonding ceremony was scheduled for the red-haired woman and a man she had only met the day before, when the elders had announced such an event would take place. The woman, consequently, the planet's princess, would disappear that night.

Lai'yndan, a woman with short red hair, resembling the princess of Phandora, sat in the captain's seat of a spacecraft. It was no federation ship, but a ship nonetheless. Granted, Lai'yndan could have easily taken a bigger one, but she needed not to bring attention to herself and her small crew. Four others were present on board with her, two sitting in the front and below her elevated platform, one of which happened to be Lai'yndan's Commander, one who worked in the medical bay, and one who was the engineer.

"Commander Stan'yin." Lai'yndan spoke, her voice feminine, and strong.
"Yes Captain Lai'yndan?" Stan'yin, a tall and lean woman, with waist-length red hair, and green eyes, reported to her Captain's side. Stan'yin stood straight, her hands clasped behind her back, her posture as if she had been in the 21st century military.
"How far from Vulcan are we?"
"If we continue for Vulcan maintaining the speed we're going, we should arrive in approximately a day and a half, Captain. Will that be all Captain?"
"Yes, thank you." Stan'yin returned to her seat. Lai'yndan pressed a button located on her right armrest. "Piecey." Pieceana, also known as Piecey, was the engineer.
"Yes Captain?" A quiet, shy voice answered her.
"We need to make it to Vulcan within the next twenty minutes. I need you to speed this thing up."
"I'll do my best Captain." The girl answered her.
"That's all I ask." Lai'yndan pressed the same button, ending the connection between the Bridge and the Engine.
The star ship gained speed much to Lai'yndan's pleasure.
"Captain, if I may ask, why are we heading toward Vulcan?" Stan'yin asked from her seat, turning away from her monitor briefly.
"A premonition." Lai'yndan didn't turn her head from the rectangular glass window, watching the blurred stars pass by as the spaceship moved at supersonic speed. Sensing that was all she would get from her Captain, Stan'yin turned back to her work.
The other woman working in the Bridge, Aileata, was also a redhead, as was every other Phandoran, with brown eyes. Aileata's hair was chin-length and layered, she liked to keep it spiked outwards. Aileata glanced briefly at Stan'yin and looked back at her own touch-monitor, tapping it occasionally.
"At the rate we are going, Captain, we will reach Vulcan in time for your premonition, Ma'am." Aileata's high pitched voice squeaked.
"Thank you Aileata."
Lai'yndan stood up, and made her way toward the small elevator to the right of the room. The doors parted and she stepped in. Lai'yndan took the elevator to the second floor of the space vessel. When the elevator stopped and the doors opened again, Lai'yndan stepped out and continued down a hallway. Until she reached her destination, her sleeping quarters. The door automatically opened after a DNA scan and she entered, the door shutting itself behind her. Quickly, Lai'yndan surveyed the room, royal blue carpet, a full-sized bed on the left side, not against the wall, a chestnut brown end-table on the right side of the bed, two doors on the far right wall, one a small closet, the other leading to a washroom. Lai'yndan rested herself on the floor, crossing her legs and placing her elbows on her knees.
Lai'yndan had about twelve minutes to herself before the need to prepare for going to the surface of Vulcan. So she chose to calm her nerves through meditation. The premonition Lai'yndan had, however brief, had been extremely disturbing. The Romulans were close cousins with the Vulcans, they both had ten times the strength of humans, the same upward leading eyebrows, the same pointed ears…The only differences, Vulcans relied on logic and repressed their feelings, Romulans branched off for that reason. Romulans also had distinct intricate facial tattoos, however, Lai'yndan did not know whether they were born with them. And although Romulans were known to be a tad aggressive, attacking Vulcan would declare war with the entire Starfleet Federation. Even though Lai'yndan knew it suicide to attempt to intervene, even for just the life of one human woman, the overwhelming urge to try to save the life of the Vulcan's human mother overpowered her logical thinking. Besides, maybe presenting the safe and sound human to the USS Enterprise, the vessel the human's son is stationed on, would convince the captain of that ship to assist Lai'yndan with a certain task. Just maybe. As Lai'yndan cleared her mind and focused on her breathing, she was assaulted with another, more detailed vision of the upcoming events.

The planet Vulcan, a rather large, class M planet, much like Phandora and Earth, inhabited by an advanced civilization. Red-ish in color, Vulcan was mostly desert. High temperatures and rocks everywhere, it seemed barren and deserted at first look. However, the very planet inhabited six billion of the pointy-eared species known as Vulcans.. Two ships were in the atmosphere, one large black Romulan mining vessel, the other, a smaller Starfleet Federation ship, the USS Enterprise. The Romulan ship, although leaving, was still very intimidating to those not familiar with the inhabitants of Romulus. The Romulans had injected an object into the core of Vulcan, after drilling a hole straight down, in order to destroy it. On the surface of Vulcan, everything was in chaos. The ground began to cave out from under itself as a black hole sucked Vulcan in from the core. A Vulcan male, seemingly young, stood with the elders of the planet and a human female, waiting to be transported onto the Enterprise. To safety. Multiple white rings surround them individually just as the ground beneath the woman crumbled. The rings around her dissipated as she fell to her death and the Vulcans were transported safely onto the ship. The Enterprise flew away, in warp drive, just as Vulcan was sucked into itself and disappeared.

Lai'yndan awoke from her premonition to a knock at her door.
"Captain, we're in Vulcan's atmosphere."
Lai'yndan stood only when she heard Stan'yin walk away. When she left her room, Lai'yndan went directly to Deck 3, where the ship's Transporter Pad was located. She equipped herself with a communication bracelet on her right wrist so she may contact Piecey when she is ready to be beamed back onto the ship, she also slipped a ring on her left middle finger, made up of a purple tinted clear crystal and a medium blue colored gemstone entwining with each other. The ring was crafted thousands of years back by Phandoran mages to ensure heirs to the throne would be protected.
Convinced that she wouldn't run into trouble in the shape of life forms, Lai'yndan chose against bringing a weapon, much to the displeasure of Stan'yin. Stepping onto one of the five slightly elevated glowing white dots of the Transporter pad, she knelt onto one knee, her left foot bent as to not show anything under her short black skirt, in other words, not to show her shauhnat, her undergarments. Her exposed stomach curved in due to her bent position, insuring the most safety.
"Okay Captain, Vulcan is in a state of chaos. It is extremely dangerous. I recommend putting up your telekinetic shield now to avoid being killed by falling rocks." Piecey informed her captain.
Nodding, she lifted both hands above her head and released an energy from her hands. Invisible, but distorting the area momentarily. The ring on her finger glowed faintly and warmed. Amethyst Spirit Quartz for protection, and Hemimorphite for assistance with Phandoran telekinetic powers. Lai'yndan inhaled deeply and looked straight ahead.
"Let's do this. Ehndaize." Energize. Piecey hit a button and multiple purple rings surrounded Lai'yndan.
"Glour'nahsah, ous bi sakor…Ni'kadyah…" Piecey muttered just before Lai'yndan disappeared from the Transporter Pad.
Good luck, and be safe…Ni'kadyah…

Feedback is much appreciated.
