Story:Star Trek: Helena/Shakedown Cruise/Teaser

The year is 2371 the Federation is enjoying much needed peacetime and slow recovery from the massacre at Wolf 359 during the Borg Incursion of 2366-2367, then a year ago Deep Space 9 Commander Benjamin Sisko and his crew encountered an alien faction known as the Dominion. After the destruction of the Federation Starship USS Odyssey, Starfleet is beginning to take the Dominion threat very seriously but what will their plan be to defend against this new foe.....

At the Battle of Wolf 359 the USS Lexington is getting pumpled with torpedo fire from the Borg Cube, on the bridge a Lieutenant Commander is looking around the bridge of people either dead or dying from their wounds as he looks at the Cube looming over the ship and a bright flash happens.

"Computer lights full loomnation, computer tea herbal hot please," John Martin says as he gets the cup from the replicator and drank it as he breathes heavily.

He sits on the bed as a young Bajoran woman cuddles with him.

"Same dream?" Kira Nerys says as she looks at him.

He nods at her.

"Yeah it's been 6 years since Wolf 359 and I still have that same dream of the Lexington facing down the Cube after the first and second strike failed, losing people I graduated from the Academy with and then being thrown into the escape pod by the Captain and watching the Lexington explode still haunt me to this day," John says as he looks at Kira.

She looks at him.

"John you've got to get some sleep you've got your first time being first officer of the USS Helena she'll arrive first thing in the morning," Kira says as she looks at him.

He looks at her.

"What would I do without you?" John says as he looks at her.

She thinks for a few minutes.

"Probably go crazy," Kira says as she looks at him.

They kiss as John turns the lights off.
