Star Trek The Next Generation The Gift: A Star Trek SI

[Goku_san]

I'm contemplating the idea. It probably won't happen though. The Prophets would be like...wait a minute....this might be a fun idea for a totally whacky, nonsensical SI.

Honestly, fuck the Prophets.

I agree but this is not really something that I want to explore in this.

Voyager is going to be dealt with, but maybe not so much how everyone will want it to be.

Author's Note: I back home now. Surgery went very well. I'm doing well. Dealing with swelling and a very hoarse voice still and will still be for the next several weeks, but am doing great.



Data goes to work on creating the communication program...Dr. Stubbs is escorted to his quarters and ordered confined there for the duration of the attempt to talk to the nanites. Deanna goes to Stubbs to talk to him about his...hubris...while I remain on the bridge to continue to observe matters. The gamma pulse generators are on stand by if we need them. I see Wesley hovering around and head over to him.

"Hello Wesley."

"Hi Adam. It's nice to see you..."

"I know you're blaming yourself for what happened today, but don't worry. This will sort itself out. Everyone makes mistakes---especially when we're tired..." I say

"H-how...oh right. I need to learn to balance things a little better I guess."

"You'll get there. Have you spoken with your Mom yet?"

"Sort of...I was in the middle of almost telling her what happened when I kind of got angry..."

"I understand, it's been a tough year for you hasn't it? You've missed her."

"Yeah."

"Well, she's here now Wesley. Go easy on her...she loves you very much, and is very happy to be back home now."

He nods and the two of us stride towards Data to see him finish his programming. We don't go down to the computer core, since the nanites haven't counter-attacked and aren't aggressive due to Stubb's actions. Data successfully makes contact with them via the computer console and reports they continue to adapt quicker than he can anticipate. He's attempting to compensate with that. After a couple of minutes--the nanites are able to use Data as an avatar and address us directly.

"You are strange creatures..." they say slowly. Spiner's voice when he's "other characters" is so cheese it's CRINGE. Adam stop.

Captain Picard tells them that we have encountered even stranger creatures than them...and hopes that they will be able to achieve some kind of peace. I turn to him quickly.

"Ask them what they need, sir."

"What is that your people need from us?" asks Picard

"This ship is too...confining...we require...relocation." Picard turns to me

"Do you have any suggestions?"


I smile.

"I may have sir..."

With Dr. Stubbs help, the nanites are relocated to Kavis Alpha IV where they begin to create a new civilization there. Stubb's experiment is restarted and as I mentioned---goes off without a hitch.

I head to Ten Forward for the first time, and see Counsellor Troi who waves me over...Beverly is chatting with Guinan. Wesley enters, nods over to me and heads to a group of people in the corner and a young woman who he appears intimate with. I exchange a glance at Doctor Crusher and she mouths at me " Thank you." and I nod. It seems the two of them had their chat.

"Someone has had a busy first day." Deanna says

Our ordered meals are brought by the waitress.

"With Guinan's compliments to you both." she says as we thank her

"It was...exciting."

"You know not every day is going to be this exciting right?"

"I know...but even if this is what's like a fraction of the time I'm here...." I take a scoop of the mashed potatoes and eat it. Delicious.

"So...I thought you'd be interested to know that the three of us have made our decision regarding your...request."

I stop eating and wait with abated breath.

"And? What's the word?"

"After reviewing your psyche profile again, and talking amongst ourselves...it has been decided to put you on a limited training program. You mentioned Wesley's crash course...it will be similar to that but a lighter load at first. Commander Riker and I will design the curriculum and Captain Picard has decided to approve any such measures. To start it will be study heavy---we're concerned about your ability to grasp the scientific and mathematical elements---we're not so concerned about everything else. If you show us that you're able to handle this first phase--we'll proceed with a full curriculum."

"Thank you. So, so much. I promise that I won't disappoint any of you."


"I doubt that will be possible. I think you'll be more upset if you disappoint yourself. Adam....this will be...hard. Harder than you think. I remember my time at the Academy. It was the most challenging thing I've ever done. There were days where I wanted to quit...your will and determination will serve you well...but you need to be mentally prepared as well."

"I understand."


"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. You did well today."

"Thanks. Also I've scheduled our counselling sessions for Tuesday at 14:00 hours. Does that work for you?"

"It does. I look forward to them."

We enjoy our dinner and chat for a couple of more hours before heading back to our quarters.

"I enjoyed this Counsellor."

"I told you, it's Deanna when I'm off duty. I enjoyed this as well."

"I'll see you Tuesday afternoon then. Have a good night."

I watch her leave and catch a glance from Guinan who simply similes at me. I need to make it a point to see her asap.

"All of you seem so calm about my reveal...that you are in reality, fictional characters."

I'm sorry, but I'm playing from you just started reading this but I seriously think this needs an edit. You've made it very clear that your character is a serious sci-fi nerd, So he should know better than to say something so dumb if he knows anything about the idea of the multiverse, or omniverse, or whatever the hell you want to call it.

At worst he should say you're taking it very commonly that in my universe your fictional characters and I know so much about you. At best you should say that I'm surprised you're not reacting stronger to the fact that I'm from a completely different part of the multiverse and such a thing is now proven instead of simply being from a parallel timeline.

I would understand if this was like decades ago when the Internet was barely started but there's no excuse for saying that their fictional characters when you have so many different fictional examples of the multiverse.

"First of all Mr. Young, I would like to formally welcome you to the 24th Century. This must be a confusing, and overwhelming experience for you. We do not understand how it is possible that you have entered our reality. There are no records of anything like this occurring in our reality, as no doubt I'm sure from yours. Secondly as we speak, less than a dozen people are aware of your presence in our reality. This of course includes the Federation President, members of my cabinet, and a couple of Councilor's from the Council. We would like knowledge of your presence to be as limited as possible, however are aware the longer you are here, that remains difficult to contain.

Sorry for the double post.

Another thing you should think about having an extra chapter between chapter one and chapter 2. Right now the only proof they have that you know about the future is that you mysteriously appeared when Q was screwing around and you said you know about their future.

There should be quite a bit of theorizing about whether or not you simply had your memory screwed with by Q and this is some kind of sick joke. Instead there should be a chapter where they ask you to basically prove and you recite some not top secret but very niche information about Starfleet. About the Omega particle, Something classified to happen recently like you know the whole body snatchers thing that happened at the end of season one.

Basically before the President of the United Federation of Planets is going to get involved, or multiple Starfleet Admirals. You need to put a Down payment on the table to show that you're not full of shit.

Excellent points and when I was originally writing this, I did contemplate doing JUST that. I think though I excused that THIS particular time period of Starfleet would have let it slide. As opposed if he'd popped up at the start of the Dominion War or later, they'd have requested proof.


Anything BRAND new...I will go back and write up when I'm fully healed. So I'll take this into consideration. I also kind of intended the Threat Assessment and the Borg report to be the ultimate proof of SI Adam's "abilities".
