Story:Star Trek: Phoenix/Quantum Dreams/Act One

The Phoenix is flying next to the nebula cloud waiting for the shuttle to reemerge.

In the Colonel's ready room Colonel Tyson is looking at crew reports and ship status reports when the doors chimed.

"Come," Colonel Tyson says as she looks at the doors.

The doors open and Lieutenant Tanner comes into the room.

"Colonel," Lieutenant Tanner says as he looks at her.

Yes, Lieutenant Tanner,” Tyson said.

“We haven't receive word from Major Gates, Commander Summers, and Braxis in a long time. I've been having Lieutenant Campbell trying to reach them, but there has been no reply. Mariah rubbed her chin and then stood up. Tyson and Tanner walked out into the bridge. Tanner took the weapon's officer's station. Tyson walked over to Lt. Campbell's station.

"Do you have the shuttle on sensors," Colonel Tyson says as she looks at Lieutenant Campbell.

Campbell turns to her.

"Yes, ma'am their alive as well but it appears that the shuttle took some damage in the nebula," Lieutenant Campbell says as she looks at her console then at Colonel Tyson.

They see the runabout on the main viewer.

"Open a channel to them," Colonel Tyson says as she looks at the main viewer image of the runabout.

Lieutenant Campbell is at work on it.

"Uh it appears that their hailing us," Lieutenant Campbell says as she looks at her console then at the Colonel.

Colonel Tyson nods.

On the viewer shows the cockpit of the runabout.

"Phoenix we've got a medical emergency I don't know what happened we were taking readings then the next yellow lighting bolts started hitting the shuttle and then one got through and knocked the Major down and the next hit the Lieutenant I'm the only one that can pilot the shuttle," Commander Summers says on the main viewer.

Colonel Tyson looks at her.

"It's alright Commander we're coming to meet you half way just remember to bring her in gentley," Colonel Tyson says as she looks at the viewer.

She nods and the transmission cuts.

"Major Mitchell set an intercept course full impulse, Bridge to sickbay Doctor Wellington standby for wounded," Colonel Tyson says over the com.

"Sickbay is ready Colonel," Doctor Wellington says over com.

Major Mitchell turns to the Colonel.

"Intercept course plotted and laid in Colonel," Major Mitchell says as she looks at the Colonel.

Colonel Tyson looks at her.

"Engage Major," Colonel Tyson says as she looks at Major Mitchell and then at the viewer.
