Broken BowArcher finished up his Captain's Log.
"...and despite the presence of five Klingon D-5 cruisers, Enterprise proceeded on its way. Their shields went down after one phaser burst. A single photon torpedo used upon a nearby asteroid finished the lesson. We returned their warrior, the first of a so-called new caste. The other Klingons looked nothing like him. I fear they may be engaging in artificial evolution, such as haunted Earth in the late 20th Century. This would explain the desire of the Suliban faction to obtain him."
He paused for a moment.
"It does not explain, however, why their leader, Silik, died screaming when he opened his so-called 'portal of time'. If that was a portal to the year Old Terran Counting 2286, then what did he view that broke him so easily?"

Fight or Flight
T'Pol shifted nervously in her seat as Travis spoke.
"Warp Seven appears to have fully outpaced the pursuers, Sub-Commander."
She would not throw in with Soval's agenda of deliberate sabotage. She was not of The Order, and she had no intention of joining in such blatant illogic. Yet she was not sure that Humans were ready for this level of technology. She was unsure, for that matter, that Vulcans were ready
"Excellent work, Mister Mayweather."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strange New World
T'Pol spoke into the communicator.
"Captain, the gas in this cave is having a deleterious effect on all
present. I have already incapacitated Mister Tucker, but he will be up
and around soon."Archer made the choice. To his shock, it was an easy one.
"Transporter room, six to beam up. Then double the full decon routine."
Though, he reasoned, they would none of them like spending twenty minutes on the pad.

Unexpected
Trip awaited the news.
"Well, Doc? Should I have been more careful?"
Phlox shook his head.
"No, Commander. Your Multiple Pangenic Anti-Reproductive inoculations sensed the impending---errrr--impregnation, and lined your cells with an appropriate protective amino net."
Trip wiped his forehead.
"Mama always did warn me not to go sticking my hands in strange places."
The Denobulan shook his finger at Trip.
"Next time, listen to your mother! I always listen to all of mine."

Terra Nova
PERSONAL LOG, HOSHI SATO
*Terra Nova is a paradise. Their shields let the good part of nature in, while keeping the bad-like sudden meteor showers-out. There is just such a sense of peace here, the colony leaders joked that maybe they weren't human anymore. Doctor Phlox med-scanned the crowds, though, so it is just a joke. After only forty years living on a remote colony so far out it takes a whole day for messages to reach Earth, they have brought Earth to them.*

Dear Doctor
*....of course, I had heard rumors of the Order Of The Ancient Destroyer. But until I saw the genocide delivered upon the servitor species by the dominant, I would have never believed. The fools murdered their own replacements, and that planet has not changed its mind about who it prefers...*
----------------------------
Rogue Planet
Archer called to his Comm Officer.
"Hoshi--bring it here."
Hoshi brought over a small rectangular metal box. She held it up to the hunter's prey.
"Is that a new weapon?"
Hoshi looked at the shapeshifting creature, and seemed to ask it a question..
"Is this a new weapon?"
The creature spoke, just before the hunters ran off.
"No. It is a translator."
----------------------------------------------
Oasis
Reed confirmed what they all suspected.
"Ship's sensors tell the story, sir. Except for two of them, all those people down there are holograms."
-----------------------------------------------------
Fallen Hero
T'Pol threw down her smoking phaser rifle. It was done.
"You should not have made me choose, Ambassador Soval. To permit you to carry on your sabotage of the warp core was not logical."
But the smoking ash-pile had no further diatribes to offer the one he had called race-traitor.
------------------------------------------------
Shockwave
The man who had fallen through the late Silik's reactivated time-portal looked up at Archer from his Sickbay bed.
"Name...Daniels...helm aboard Excelsior, under Captain Paul Stiles."
"I never heard of that ship."
"Ar-Archer?"
"Yes?"
Daniels reached up, and tried to strangle the Captain.
"Bastard! All your fault. The tech you spread propelled us forward. But the Rommies stole our secrets, and then so did the Klingons. Because of you, the Romu---hack!---found that three headed monster. You destroyed the universe, Archer! Beware 2286! Beware...Ghid...ghid..."
Phlox looked at his captain.
"He's gone, sir."
Archer sat down.
"But not forgotten."
THE END.....?
