[OOC][PLOT] Planning for Arc 2 - Crisis on Infinite Earths

[robkelk]

Further thought tells me that Starfleet isn't about to give up the Voyager, at least not until they reverse-engineer the slipstream drive and all that Borg tech that's aboard. So, no "voyages of the Voyager" line in Rei Misaka's opening narration. I've updated the wiki page with a more modest proposal for my self-insert after Arc 4.

Back to Arc 2. For your consideration:

"Report!"

"Systems are coming back online now, sir." The emergency klaxons stopped sounding as the lights came back on.

"Life support is functioning normally."

"No pressure losses being reported anywhere, Commander."

"Exterior cameras are functional. Commander... you need to see this."

The main screen lit up, showing a view of Earth.

"We're home... We're home!"

"Commander, incoming transmission."

"Route it to my desk. This is Commander John Koenig, commanding Moonbase Alpha, receiving your signal."

"Hello Commander. This is Ami Mizuno of the Crystal Millennium. Welcome to the Metacontinuity. You may find that you're not on the Moon that you were on a few minutes ago. We would be happy to explain further in person; may we send a diplomatic delegation to you, or would you prefer to send a delegation to us?"

Sandra motioned to Commander Koenig, who muted the channel. "I'm not receiving any telemetry from the hazardous waste depots, Commander."

"That would support Miss Mizuno's claim, Commander," Carter offered.

"Unless she's responsible for blocking those communications, Alan. Do you feel up to a trip?"

"Eagle 1 should already be on the pad," he replied as he headed for the door out of Main Mission.

Koenig unmuted the communications channel. "We'll come to you. Where are you?"

"We're currently in Lunar orbit, investigating a magnetic anomaly in the Tycho Basin. We'll guide your Eagle in."
