[Jim]
Now, we were waiting for Scarlett's friend, Lexxa Singh, plus her crew of criminal renegades
My girlfriend has a lot of weird friends
"There it is!" Scarlett said, pointing to the ship coming into view
When the ship landed, one figure came in
It was Lexxa Singh.
Black hair, blue streak on her hair, the renegade outfit, and the attitude
Scarlett walked over to Lexxa. Spock, Khan, and i walked lowly behind her
Scarlett smiled "Hello, Lexxa."
They just looked at each other for a moment, then Lexxa smiled "Hello, Scarlett. Long time no see."
"You got my hail?"
Lexxa nodded "Of course. When i heard you were being hunted by the federation, we rushed right away."
Scarlett smiled "So, you'll help us?"
Lexxa looked over to us "Alright. Fine."
Then she smiled back at Scarlett "Anything for my old friend. Even if you did join StarFleet. It doesn't matter."
Scarlett and Lexxa walked towards the ship
The three of us followed.
"Hey," i called to Scarlett "are you sure we can trust her?"
She looked at me "I know Lexxa. I trust her."
I trusted Scarlett. So, if she trusted Lexxa, then i can trust her.
"Alright then," i said "Lets go."

[Scarlett]
We walked to the bridge
I had to hand it to Lexxa, she did good with the ship.
When we got to the bridge, Lexxa said "We've got visitors."
The crew was just as i remembered it
Fixer, Dr. Lucin, Ragora, Ichleb, everyone
"Scarlett?" Ragora asked
I smirked "Good. You still remember me."
Then, Ichleb pointed his arm (which was a gun. He was a cyborg, by the way.) At Jim, Khan, Clieo and Spock
"Who are these?" He asked
"Put that away, Ichleb." Lexxa said "They're friends of Scarlett. So, don't kill them."
"Not even a little bit?"
I scowled at him "No."
"So," Doc said "Lexxa tells us your being hunted by the federation."
"She tells you right." Khan said
"Who's this?" Ragora asked
I gave the introductions and stuff
"We need your help." I said "Someone's framing us, and we don't know who."
"I think i might know who would do this." Ragnar said
"Who?" Clieo asked
"I know four people who could pull something like this off." Ragnar said. He pressed a button, and a hologram image appeared on the center of a room. It was four people. Three guys and twl girls
"This is Drios, Dara, Ferten, and Krogos." Ragnar said "They're Morphus. They can look like the person by touch."
"Like you, Ragnar." Dr. Lucien said
Ragnar nodded "These five just recently broke out of prison. So now, they're out loose in the galaxy."
When i looked closer, i realized...
"Those are the same people we saw at the bar!" I said
"Your right." Jim said "Those are the same guys."
"I've seen that one on Iowa." Khan said, pointing to Fatten
"They must be the one framing us." Jim said "We have to tell someone."
"We can't tell the federation. They won't believe us." Clieo said
"Plus, the bounty on us will limit us on the places we are able to search." Spock added
"Bounty?" Ragora asked
"Nevermind." Lexxa said "First, we find these Morphus. Ragora, run a full scan for these Morphus."
Ragora nodded and typed on her computer
"Then, we wait for a match." I said
"How long will that take?" Clieo asked
"As long as it takes." Ichleb said
"But now, we have to worry about the federation searching for us." Jim said
Clieo smiled "I think i might know who can help us with that."
Khan frowned "Who?"
I smirked "I think i have an idea who."

Pavel Chekov
Our inside spy
We hailed Pavel on the ship's computer. Along with Nyota, and Bones.
Some of the people we can trust
Khan stayed out of the conversation. Smart decision
They were on the Enterprise, helping fhe federation searching for us
Against their will of course. They were forced too.
"Clieo!" Pavel said "Where are you? Are you and the others alright?"
Clieo smiled "Yes, Pavel. I'm alright. Dont worry about me."
"Where are you guys?" Nyota asked "We were so worried. Admiral Daren took over the ship. Now we're looking for you guys. We were so worried!"
Jim clenched his fists "He better not do anything with my ship."
"Of course. The ship. Let's forget about the criminals framing us and get your ship." Khan said quietly by the corner
Then, something came to me
"where's Shadow?" I asked
"She's with us." Nyota said "I brought her with us. But she won't calm down most of the time."
I smiled "Don't worry. I'll be back soon. We all will."
"The crew was so very shocked about this." Pavel said
"I would have never guessed..." I mumbled sarcasticly
"Jim! Scarlett! Spock! Clieo!" Bones said rushing into the screen "What the hell?! Where are you guys?! The federation is looking for you-"
Blah, blah, blah, blah
"Hi, Bones." I said "can you shut up and let us explian?"
Bones' face reddened and he shut up
I explained everything to them. Us being scammed. Everything.
"That's crazy." Pavel said
"We know." Jim said "That's why we need all the help we can get."
"So you trust Khan and Lexxa." Bones grumbled
"Hey," I said "its our best chance. Besides, we called you guys, didn't we?"
"Fine." Bones said "But watch your backs."
"We'll keep you guys updated." Uhura said
"Alright. But be carefull." Jim said
Then the message dissapeared
"Well, at least we'll know what's going on with the federation's plans." Clieo said
Then, Lexxa came in
"The Morphus was spotted." She said
"Where?" I asked
"Lumenaria." She answered "The capital Elementa city."
I felt wobbly and angry
"What are they doing on my home planet?" I asked, furiously
"We'll set course." Lexxa said and she walked out
"Well," i said "looks like we're going back to my home."
"But this time will be different." Jim told me
"Let's get going, then." Clieo said
