The USS Courageous has finally been released for her maiden voyage. Her first mission is straightforward in design: locate her sister ship, the USS Voyager, which vanished three months ago without a trace. What begins as a simple recovery assignment soon transforms into something far greater. The Courageous and her crew are thrust into a journey filled with danger, discovery, and choices that will test the very limits of their courage. Disclaimer: This is an original Star Trek story featuring my own characters. The story and the crew of the USS Courageous belong to me. I of course got the idea to write my own Star Trek story from @Ahsoka_501st. Rated Mature because I'm paranoid.

B'Elanna Torres and Tom Paris grew up across the street from one another, B'Elanna was eight years old when she met eleven year old Tom Paris, thanks to her parents divorce. -------------------------------------------------------- Tom Paris x B'Elanna Torres -------------------------------------------------------- Warning: The years are going to jump around a lot, so I do apologise for that. -------------------------------------------------------- That's like the shortest description ever but it's to surprise you when the story unfolds. This story won't be rated Mature, unless I deem fit. Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek: Voyager, all rights go to Gene Roddenberry, and the other creators of Star Trek: Voyager, I only own my OC's.

Amanda Torres is the younger sister of B'Elanna Torres, she was 3 when her parents divorced whereas B'Elanna was six, Amanda lived with her father in San Francisco, her father was a Captain in Starfleet and was promoted to admiral when Amanda was 14. When Amanda was 16 she joined the Academy, there she met Harry Kim who was a year older than her, he became Amanda's best friend, Harry didn't judge her for being Half Klingon, Amanda graduated top of her class the year after Harry who came along to watch her graduate and when she was 21 in 2371, she was made a lieutenant and was head of communication's on Voyager, the same ship Harry Kim was going to be on. Amanda eventually gets promoted to Second Officer and Lt. Commander, Amanda eventually asks for her job as Communications Officer but keeps the rank of Lt. Commander purely to tell her and B'Elanna apart, until Amanda asks for her previous rank of Lt. j.g back, a rank which she'd grown accustomed to. What happens when Amanda meets her sister again? What happens when Amanda falls for Voyager's resident playboy? Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek, I don't own the gifs I use, I only own Amanda Torres. Rated Mature cause I'm paranoid.
