Four months after attaining a field commission to Second Lieutenant Alex was assigned to the USS Thunderchild as the tactical officer. The ship was sent to secure the federation border facing the Tzenkethi Coalition it was one of those rare times when both sides had mutual goals. And there was a large Orion Slaver fleet on their borders which had to be dealt with. The Thunderchild got there first and was immediately boarded by some Slavers, the defenders put up a good fight and fought them back, unknown to the defenders the Orion’s had a secret weapon and they deployed it.

Somers was walking through the ships lower decks with a security detail when they came upon an unknown alien roaming the same corridor, remembering her diplomatic training, Alex indicated for the detail to lower their weapons as she did, she was about to open her mouth to speak when the unknown alien fired a disruptor pistol at one of the security officers killing him instantly. Alex and the remaining detail fired their weapons and did little damage, the alien took the rest out, injured Alex, who abandoned her weapon and pulled out her Mek’Leth blade out and dived in.

It was sometime, both participants were getting tired and both were injured, as Somers plunged her blade into the alien’s chest the alien cut a large gash in the left side of her face, the loss of blood and exhaustion made her lose consciousness, backup arrived and saw a scene, a bunch of security dead and a young marine officer laying next to an unknown dead alien who had a blade sticking out of its chest and the marine a large gash on her face.

*Tapping a Commbadge* one of the backup security officers spoke =/\= Medical emergency deck nine corridor C, officer down =/\=

=/\= Acknowledged, medical out =/\= came to the response.

As the area was secured the ships went to yellow alert and the captain arrived quickly, he looked at the bodies and saw medical life his new marine officer onto a hover-stretcher, he looked at the Security Officer.

“What happened here, any ideas?” he asked.

“Your guess is as good as mine Sir, we came here to back up Lieutenant Somers’s team and found this, I can confirm that the blade in the alien’s chest belongs to the marine officer, if I had to guess I would guess that the fur hit the fan and both alien and Somers ended up in a one on one battle, which rendered one dead and the other unconscious” the security chief said.

The Captain looked at the chief, “is Somers awake?” he asked.

“Nope, only she knows what happened,” the Chief said and then realised something “there are the security cameras; they would have recorded the event. As the investigators went to view the footage the security that remained looked down at the dead alien who was being placed onto a hover gurney to be taken to medical.

Alex found herself standing on a desolate battlefield there was fine dust blowing past her, it cleared up and she saw that she was standing on the grounds at Starfleet Academy, but it was not her Academy that she knew, the buildings were nothing but demolished and burned out hulks and the Golden Gate Bridge was practically destroyed, as she continued to look around she was drawn to a mushroom-shaped cloud, if not for its ominous telling it now looked like a normal cloud but with a faint bluish hue to it.

“What the hell type of bomb was that?” She asked herself, then her eyes were drawn to a lone suited figure looking down at a pile of bodies and above them fluttered a tattered battle standard of the 2nd SAS MACO Regiment.

“We do not have such a Regiment” speaking to herself again she walked up to the lone figure and saw the name on the figures suit shoulder “hmm Donovan, why am I seeing Donovan’s memories, she did not link with me telepathically” she said to herself again, she did not hear what Donovan said, but her gaze was drawn to the bodies and she was looking at herself, the face she saw had the same features and a scar down the left side of her face, the hair was still in a tight bun and it was like looking at a mirror.

She noted Donovan move and looked back to see an anomaly open up and Donovan got dragged through the portal. She looked down and saw unfamiliar weapons in the hands of the dead Starfleet Officers plus some TR-116 Rifles; she took a closer look at one and noted it was based on an old weapon, the M4 she would guess.

“There must be a type of radiogenic particles that render energy weapons useless, she then took a closer look at her mirror version and she heard a voice “the path not taken and for the future” a voice said, then she found herself among what looked like wreckage from a ship, a Starfleet ship, what class it was could not be said, but she was drawn to a single solid piece of the forward saucer section, the one where the ships name usually was, she moved the section and wiped the dust off and saw TOMCAT in bold lettering. Shocked she looked around the crash site and saw recognisable pieces of Akira Class ship.

“Donovan would never have seen this, even if she did connect with my mind and then hide it, she could not have seen this, so what is going on?” she asked no one in particular, the ground began to shake so badly that the ground around her broke away leaving her standing on a pedestal another shake and she began falling.

Alex awoke with a start and in a cold sweat and breathing heavily “what the hell!” she exclaimed, she was sitting up and she put her hand on the left side of her face but there was nothing there, she remembered being in a fight and getting a gash but there was no wound there, then she realised she had a nightmare within a dream, sighing heavily she laid back down and tried to sleep.

In the waking world a young marine officer names Alexandria Somers was in a coma of sorts, she was flat on her back with a healing bandage on the left side of her face and from the CMOS office, the ships First Officers was asking about her.
