A/N - No Christopher Pike in this one, but he's coming I promise ;) 

Prologue

These are the voyages of the star trek enterprise. Our five-year mission to explore new worlds, seek out new life forms and to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Chapter 1 

I smile to myself as I close my front door behind me. I am now home from a Star Trek convention I've been to with my friends and we've had an amazing time.

We've cosplayed, we've been to panels, bought merchandise and basically bonded with fellow 'Trekkie's as we're known.

In the hallway mirror, I admire my Number One cosplay. Number One is one of my favourite female Star Trek characters, she's feisty, sassy, smart and I love her.

I then decide to order myself a takeaway, opting for the local pizza place. I'm too tired to cook and I haven't got much food in any way.

Thankfully for me, it doesn't take long to come. When it has I change into my PJs and put Star Trek Discovery series 2 on Netflix. I've watched half a dozen times before, but I don't care. Star Trek is a big part of my life.

It has been since I was little, and I admire so many things about it. Heck, my tattoo on my wrist is even Star Trek. It's the Starfleet logo with the words "Brave. Bold. Courageous" around it.

I'm a little over halfway through my current re-watch of the second series and am onto the episode where Spock and his sister Michael are on Talos IV together and Vina projects herself into Captain Pike's ready room.

Every time I watch this episode I love the original series tie into Discovery but I also can't help but feel jealous of Vina. Tall, blonde, beautiful and has her own version of Captain Christopher Pike with her on Talos IV.

There's a lot of debate amongst Star Trek fans who the best captain is, and for me, it's Christopher Pike. It's like Admiral Cornwell says to him, he's the best of Starfleet by everything he is and represents.

I also have an enduring love for Anson Mount's particular portrayal of him, which has a lot to do with why I've watched Star Trek Discovery series 2 so many times.

By the time the episode ends, it's late, so I switch off the TV, go round the house making the usual checks and go to bed.

But as I lay in bed with my new USS Enterprise insignia badge on my bedside table, a bright white light emits from it, flooding the room and my life is about to be turned upside down.

I open my eyes slowly to discover that everything is white. I blink a few times to re-adjust my focus and I discover that I am no longer in my room. I am not even in my house anymore. I am not even on earth anymore.

I am in fact lying on a bed in what looks to be the sick bay of a starship.

No.

This cannot be happening.

This is impossible.

But how did I get here?

So many questions.

No answers.

As I ponder these questions a man in a pale blue Starfleet uniform comes over to me.

"Ah, you're awake at last. I shall inform the Captain. I'm sure he'll be glad to know you've awoken" He says with a smile.

He seems to be in his late 50s to early 60s and has a kind look in his blue eyes.

"I'm sorry. Who are you and where am I?" I ask him, speaking at last.

"My name is Dr Phil Boyce. You are on the USS Enterprise."

Oh

My

Gosh...
