. . . 2258. . .

Last year Jim adopted a Vulcan child. A little girl named T'Prin. He missed raising a Vulcan. Raising a Vulcan was . . . fun. T'Prin missed her home planet so he moved to Vulcan for the final time. Since he was familiar to the culture of Vulcan, it was a logical choice for Jim to adopt the little one. Her parents died in a shuttle crash. He knew much about her society and culture enough since he had lived on that planet for six some years. She was a little one. She was one hundred percent Vulcan. She reminded him of Spock in some little way. She showed emotion. Which was awfully cute.

She was also two years old.

The city had grown massive since the last time he had been there. The city where Spock had been born and raised. The ground trembled beneath Jim's feet. T'Prin was busy playing with her pleenok. Jim went out of the house to see a familiar anchor down into the planet. It was like a blast was sent through him. Images, words, letters, names, and the outside of a ship was seen in his memory. No wait, Constitution class starship.

USS Enterprise 1701.

"I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise D." Picard introduced himself.

Jim raised an eyebrow.

"Enterprise D?" Jim said, with eyebrows raised.

Picard smiled.

"It has been a long time, admiral." Picard said.

It was like he had been frozen in time.

"The Enterprise is bein' pulled down toward the planet, captain, we're tryin' all the tricks." Came the voice of Scotty over the communicator.

                                              *                                                   *

"Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise," Jim said, sitting in his chair from across the screen that displayed the then-alive-Nero. "Who are you?"

"I am Nero, captain of the Narada," Nero said. "And I am going to make you suffer dearly."

                                                 *                                            *

"How is she, Bones?" Jim asked, as they stood near the doorway to sick bay.

"Lieutenant Uhura has lost all her memories." Bones said.

                                             *                                                                  *

"My name is Khan, Khan Noonien Singh." Came the reply from the man with tan skin and dark hair. There was something very wrong about him.

                                                  *                                                                         *


"The tribbles. . ."

"What is it,Bones?"

Bones shuddered.
