She was the latest in@ a long line to carry the name 'Enterprise', a line reaching back> hundreds of years.  Now, returned from a four-year exploration mission, she looked beautiful.?      This was the third _Enterprise_ he'd seen pass through the > spacedock doors.  The first had been lost in conflict with theD Klingons, the second was in 'mothballs' at Memory Alpha.  This ship,E built from the plans of the _Excelsior_, was the third in StarFleet.  . And the only one James Kirk had not commanded.D      He was looking forward to a chance to get onboard, look around,C chat with old friends.  But most of the old friends were gone now.  ; Sulu was off on an exploration mission of his own, with the E _Excelsior_.  Uhura and Spock had both retired.  Even Bones had left, E to go into medical research.  He was now on inactive reserve.  Of all D of them, only three had stayed with the fleet, and only one with the ship.   ?      He and Scotty had been transferred into a special research C team.  Jim was its administrative head, and Scotty was in charge of D perfecting the transwarp design.  Nogura had managed to persuade him@ to stay only by promising him command of the test ship for threeG year exploration mission.  The first Excelsior-class vessel to come in, 6 once the new engines were ready, would be that ship.  H      Now, though, the new engines were ready.  The Excelsiors would comeF into full use now, if they worked, transformed from the slow, somewhatH sluggish beasts that standard warp engines made them, into the graceful,> fast, and highly maneuverable vessels they were meant to be.  C      Only one of the old comrades had been allowed to remain on the B ship.  Now, Captain Pavel Chekov brought the new _Enterprise_ into
 spacedock.    E      Meanwhile, on the far side of another universe, a large blue box D sped through spacetime.  Inside - an inside far larger than would be@ expected from the dimensions of the outside - a young woman in aF badge-covered silk jacket was sitting in a chemistry lab, brewing up aF particularly nasty form of high explosive.  She knew she was perfectlyD safe, though - she'd been refining this formula for years.  In fact,B it had only blown up in her face once.  That time of course, she'd7 recovered to find herself somewhere very much _else_... E      The consequences of Ace's finding herself on Iceworld, and later F meeting with the strange little man who called himself the Doctor, hadE become one of the high points of her life.  Especially the adventures F they'd shared since then.  Oh, they'd been frightening, of course, butD but that was part of their appeal.  The fact was, she believed, that@ if it was all perfectly safe and all that, it would also quickly become incredibly boring.   E      They'd just finished recovering from the search for the Timewyrm A when the Doctor had declared that he was taking her to see an old C friend of his.  The trip had seemed to be taking quite a long time, > and so the Doctor had continued to tutor her in the scientificB education she'd missed out on.  Eventually, he had said, she wouldC learn something of how to control the ship, in case of emergencies. D      Just as she was contemplating this, there was a slight jar.  ItC was of the type she'd come to associate with the TARDIS' landings.  @ She secured the lab - the reaction was done - and hurried to the
 control room.     A      The traffic controller was worried.  The blue box had simply D materiealized out of nowhere, right on the landing pad.  This wasn'tB what frightened her - she'd seen TARDIS's before.  The problem was> that it had materialized directly in the path of a landing VIP courier.  8      "Time capsule on landing pad SV-7, please respond.")      A moment's wait brought no response. D      "Time capsule on pad SV-7, please respond.  You are in the path8 of an approaching vessel.  Please relocate IMMEDIATELY."?      Just before it was too late, the time capsule vanished, to D reappear off to the side a bit.  The courier ship landed safely, its) farings only inches away from the TARDIS.   ! [ To be continued, of course....]   O ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- N Do you really feel like   |         Not Croaker           |Somewhere else, theO arguing with a can of     |                               |tea is getting cold. N deoderant that registers  | v116r8ac@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu |Come on - we've gotG nine on the Richter Scale?|   nasipak@acsu.buffalo.edu    | work to do. K         --- Ace           |                               |  --- Doctor Who O ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F "I wasn't expecting the ReichsInspektor General."  -- General StrasserL "No One expects the Reichsinspektor General." -- Doctor Who, TimeWyrm:ExodusO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M Disclaimer - If SUNY wants my opinions, they'll pay through the nose for 'em! 
