"Dear lord, what the hell is that?", the operations officer aboard Starbase One looked at the giant ship appearing in Federation Space.
"Oh my god, it's a Krenim Timeship. This ship is here to destroy the Earth; to destroy Starfleet all together.", London Todd referred to the race of Temporal Experimenters that tormented the Starship Voyager in the "Year in Hell".
"Launch all ships in defence of hte Earth.", London shouted.
"Inform the other races of our common enemy. Try to determine how the ship got here and try to determine the next course of action.", London ordered.
The mighty timeship fired on a Galaxy Class Starship disintegrating the entire ship. The ship is coming.
Admiral Illyan Coren entered the Starbase One operations platform with word that Colonel Acrylos Teero had contacted the Betazoid Alliance from the Delta Quadrant. London was furious when he reviewed the message and its origins. The King's Fleet had used the Krenim Temporal Rifts to send the message. London immediately blamed the King's Fleet for bringing the wrath of the Krenim on the Federation and on Starfleet.
Illyan grabbed London by the arm, "This may be true. The Krenim may have used the message to come here but the message may be the key to saving the Federation, to saving the Earth and to saving Starbase One."
"What the hell are you saying?", London shouted.
"There must have been a temporal event on the other end of the rift. In that temporal event is the key to saving the Earth. We have to get word to the King's Fleet. The search must begin immediately.", Illyan demanded.
"I will not take orders from the Betazoid Alliance.", London shouted.
"You damn well better or that giant ship is going to turn your ass into a match stick and light you the f**k up!", Illyan shouted.
"Get out of my station!", London ordered staring the impending doom in the face on the main viewer.
Illyan went back to his vessel. He had to get back to Betazed. First Corinthians may be next. Alexander grabbed his long time friend by the arm, "Illyan, we have to get word to the Delta Quadrant. I don't give a damn about Admiral London Todd but I do give a damn about these people."
"We may be able to reach them telepathically. We have that kind of connection with our genealogy.", Alexander begged.
"Please. No Betazoid has ever made contact over such a distance.", Illyan scoffed.
"We have to try.", Alexander begged, "Hulanen is there."
"This is foolish.", Illyan shouted, "Our first priority is the Corinthian Station Grid and the Beta Zeta Sector."
"This is short sighted my friend. We have an entire universe to protect.", Alexander pointed out as the Krenim ship destroyed another Starfleet vessel.
"What do you suggest?", Illyan asked as the pair reboarded the BAS Blue Ocean.
"I just want you to hold my hand.", Alexander looked at Illyan.
"Please, this is childish! There are no miracles!", Illyan scoffed.
"You used to believe. You used to believe in the good in the universe. You used to believe that as long as the Betazoid Alliance stood together, we could not be defeated. We stood up to the Empire of V'Ros and then we lost our way. We lost who we were. We became as dominant as V'Ros. We oppressed our own people. We even rose to prominence in the Federation and used our position to hold others down. We thought we were better. We thought we were right. We forgot that the Betazoid Alliance once offered hope where there was none.", Alexander lectured.
Illyan reached out and held the hands of the former President of the United Federation of Planets. These giants of history stood there hoping for a miracle. Michaela Hatherton walked in on the exiting Betazoids. She looked at them and she slowly walked over and put her hands on theirs.
Praetor T'Ros had been on the Operations Platform watching the impending attacking. The Romulan Star Empire had been decimated by the Temporal Weapons of the Rings of Teero. The Romulan Star Empire was badly in need of something to cling to.
T'Ros saw the triumvirate holding hands. The long time enemy of the Federation, the villian of the King's Fleet and the scourge of the Beta Quadrant walked over and put her hands on the three others.
Alexander looked at Illyan, "We will have no way of knowing if our message was received."
"I know.", Illyan looked at his best friend.
"What is the point then?", T'Ros looked at the Betazoids.
"Somewhere in the temporal rift at the far end there will be a link to that ship. It is our only hope of stopping the dreadnought.", Alexander explained.
"It is done.", Alexander looked at the Romulan and the human.
Michaela started to cry, "How will we know?"
Illyan put his hand on her shoulders, "Because we believe in miracles."
