"I find it hard to believe Romulans made a worm hole machine and left it out like this," Data remarks.
"Me too," La Forge said.
Ever since the Romulans brainwashed La Forge, he felt a cold shudder whenever the mention of Romulan tech was said. Perhaps that it was just the memory of what he had been put through and forced to see. The shuttle is approaching the wormhole where there are other space crafts waiting for apparently nothing. The pilots are probably arguing what to do; enter or not enter.
"Come back in one piece," Came Picard's transmission. "If you land in a different quadrant..."
"We'll leave," La Forge said. "We got it, Captain."
"After you determine it is stable," Picard adds.
La Forge nods.
"We will," La Forge said.
The transmission ends.
"The worm hole is open," Data said.
"Let's go," La Forge said.
The shuttle flew off into the wormhole. The inside of the worm hole is blue with several shades of colors and yellow beaming on around the air craft. Data blinks seeing a jelly fish pass by.
"Uh, Geordi," Data said. "Are Jelly Fish suppose to be in worm holes?"
"I don't think so," La Forge said.
The shuttle tore through the exit of the wormhole to out of the atmosphere of Earth.
"This is...unexpected," Data said. "We are above Earth."
"Computer, where are we?" La Forge asks.
"Earth," The computer replies.
"We can't have gone to Earth in that speed," La Forge said,puzzled.
"I see a lot of satellites and space junk," Data said. "It appears..."
Something struck the back end of the shuttle sending it flying down hurling towards Earth. Data presses buttons struggling to regain control of the space craft that is catching heat, fire, and steam behind it. Data manages to put up the shields to the shuttle and turn the direction of the shuttle making it in the right position to land. The speed limit of course slowed down for the shuttle.
"I have established a slow speed for the shuttle," Data said.
"La Forge to Enterprise, we've been hit and crash landing on Earth," La Forge said.
"Oh look," Data said. "Florida is above water."
La Forge looks over.
"But Florida is underwater!" La Forge said.
"Apparently it is not," Data said.
"This can't be true," La Forge said. "It has been one hundred sixty years since Florida has sinked."
The sky turns dark and the smoke coming out of the back end to the shuttle fades out.
