You are now a native of the Star Trek universe and bound to its laws. Let's get to work!

Pick your Era!
ENT (Enterprise), AOS (The new movies), Discovery, OS (Original series), TNG (The Next Generation), DS9 (Deep Space Nine), or VOY (Voyager).

Choose Your Adventure! (Roll 1 to 13!)

1. Away Mission!

You've just beamed down to an unexplored planet. Is it inhabited? Is it habitable? Just be sure not to break the Prime Directive

2. First Contact!

You are about to make the first, official contact with an alien civilization. Whether you are seeking them out or they are seeking you out, try to make a good impression.

3. Battle Stations!

All hands to battle stations! Shields are at full power and weapon systems are prepared for combat.

4. Red Alert!

Something has gone wrong! It is an all out emergency but what is it? Has something happened in engineering to cause radiation to flood the ship? Are you being boarded? Either way, hope you survive the experience!

5. Shore Leave!

Exactly like it says on the tin. Maybe you're going to Risa. It's time to settle down with a nice drink and relax. If you're alone, try picking up Horga'hn.

6. Holodeck!

You have some free time. All of time. All of space. All of everything. What's your program of choice?

7. Lost in space!

Something terrible has happened. Maybe you're in a shuttle that's lost most of its power and now you're adrift. Maybe said shuttle crashed landed on an unknown planet. Whatever it was, you now find yourself lot. Let's hope you know how to send out an intergalactic SOS!

8. You Do Need an Education!

You've just enrolled in the Starfleet Academy. Located in San Francisco, this educational facility preps all that have been accepted. It's a lot of work. Study. Study. Study. However, that doesn't mean there isn't time for the occasional hijinx.

9. Stations in Space!

It is a station in space. Space is all around. Maybe you're a resident or it is a temporary point until something better comes your way. Maybe you live on board a vessel that is about to dock. Maybe it'll be a nice change of pace.

10. Wild Card!

Pick whichever option you like best. I bet you thought this would be at the end. Well, it's not.

11. Tribbletastic!

The terrific thing about tribbles is that tribbles are terrific things. Their insides are made of stuff, their bottoms are made of the fluff. But the most terrific thing about tribbles is that tribbles are everywhere. It would be a tribble shame if they got into any important systems.

12. Q-who?

You're a member of a nearly omnipotent, immortal race of beings who have mastered the ability of time-travel and transformation. Maybe you're one of the 'almost respectable' ones. Maybe you're a trouble-maker. Either way, you can do whatever you want! What's the worst that could happen?

13. SmörgåsBORG.

They are the Borg. Resistance is futile. Either you're facing a boarding party or you and your crew accidentally ran into them. Maybe you'll be assimilated and need to be rescued. They're a bit like zombies, only they don't want to eat you. They just want to assimilate you and add your distinct uniqueness to themselves.

14. Mirror mirror out in space...

Is there anyone in this dimension who isn't a basket case? It's call the Mirror Universe as people and places seem to be almost complete opposites of their main universe counterpart. Basically, the humans ganked the Vulcans when they made first contact. It's survival of the fittest set in space!

It had been such a nice day. The station actually had a specialty coffee stand with a fantastic very of the Williams nebula; its ionic clouds swirling lazily in varying shade of purple and red.

And then the woman with the phaser showed up.

The redhaired woman in the captain's uniform slid into the other seat at the table with her own beverage in one hand and when she slid back her other hand, it revealed a palmed Type 1 phaser.

"Act normal. This will go faster if you do. Relatively speaking."

Lt. Kate Cordello liked beautiful things she also liked coffee. Specifically, she liked properly brewed coffee that did not come out of a replicator. She swore that she could taste the difference even if other people could not.

It was part of her routine. Kate liked to spend the time, before her shift started and usually after, enjoying a coffee while she caught up on the latest discoveries in botany; alien or not. Her view was better than good. There was something about the red and purple gasses and molecules swirling that relaxed her.

So, when her routine was so rudely interrupted, Kate looked up with an annoyed expression. Then she saw the phaser. She mostly kept her cool but could not prevent a little color from draining from her face.

"What can I do for you, Captain?"

The woman glaces around quickly and makes a show of sipping her own drink.

"I'm having my associate download a few things to your PADD."

Sure enough, the normally mundane device flashes full of garbled data and half-formed sentences, finally stopping its data vomiting to display the identity and division of the woman in front of her.

Jules Ray, Captain
Department of Temporal Investigations

"No, you have no idea if that's real, or if I'm a skilled lunatic. That's what the phaser is for." She notes, continuing with her seemingly mildly amused calm.

"What I need, thankfully, is hopefully dead simple. I'm looking for an Earth plant. One thought extinct until recently, so there's no know pictures. Hence the reason it's your not-so-lucky day."

Kate did not know and could not tell if the woman was speaking the truth or was just a criminal who was after something. After looking down and reading her PADD, Kate calmly took a sip of her coffee. She was trying to process the information but needed more input.

Investigating temporal disturbances wasn't completely unheard of. Starfleet was an organization where sometimes people went rogue to bring back a pair of whales. Kate hoped it was simple. Her face looked back towards the 'Captain'.

"That is my specialty." Kate replied with a nod and a smile that did not reach her eyes. "What plant are you looking for? The more specific you can be the quicker I can get it to you."

"Artemisia vulgaris. Apparently, some colonists took some with them to the Cardassian disputed zone. Used in some sacred rituals if you go in for that kind of thing. You convince someone here to get you enough to make a strong cup of tea, and we all get on with life."

"Mugwort? You want mugwort?" Kate looked around. Her head turned to the left and then to the right before looking back at the Captain. "Did Starsmore put you up to this?" She shook her head. "This is a little over the top retaliation for putting googly eyes on his petri dishes."

Basically, Kate believed that she was on the receiving end of an elaborate prank.

((not!Dead AU?))

"Where am I?"
