Idea of a Teen Wolf Percy Jackson crossover where Percy is petters kid

Percy is Peter kid but is still a regular demigod since you can't been half werewolf. The hales don't know that he is a demigod but they know he is something that is not fully human and is difficulty not a wolf but love him all the same. Before the fire happened he was getting demigod dreams and tried to warn his family but it got brushed off as regular nightmares since he was five. The fire happened he was inside the house but only got slightly hurt since he is mostly fire resistant but had to watch other burn alive. Lura put him in foster care when she and Derek reached New York since she couldn't take care of a traumatized five year old and teenager.

After a while he is adopted by Sally and his story is the same as canon until the point where he swims in the rive of Styx. Since he has two dads instead of a bio mom he can't get a mother's blessing and swim in the river. Nico and Percy still go to underworld since they wouldn't know that they need a mother's blessing tell they talk Achilles. Not wanting this whole underworld trip to go to waste Percy gets into the river but makes sure not to let the water touch him to try and take talk to the spirit that lived in the rive in hopes of getting the ion skin anyway. They talk and he end of impressing her since he is a man of his word and has a fatal flaw of loyally and they make a deal. If he could un pollute her river she would give him a blessing just not the one he was original after but one that would be better in the long run. He cleans her river and gets a blessing and has his fight with Hades.

Everyone thinks he has the curse of Achilles so he hides his injuries so no one knows he doesn't have invulnerability and everything goes as canon the same till the end where he passes out from his injures after he give the knife to Luke and Kronos is defeated. He almost died form his hidden injures and everyone now know he never had the cures of Achilles and is stick at camp recovering and helping rebuild until he is taken by Hera. Sally doesn't know that he is still alive since he never got the chance to send a sign that he was ok after everything went down. She goes to the cops and opens a missing persons case for him since she doesn't know what to do and has to have a way to explain to people why she is grieving for her son.

On the teen wolf side of things Derek has even more guilt than he did before since they had warning about the fire but they all brushed it off. He can't forget that it could have been avoided if they just listened to little Percy. He feel even worse when he finds out that Lura give Percy up since he thinks she picked him over Percy when she tried to explain that she couldn't help two traumatized kids while being traumatized herself. He tries to look out for Percy from a distance and makes sure he gets taken out of the bad homes he was placed in. When Percy goes to Sally, Derek stops checking in as often when sees how good Sally is and miss what smelly gabe did to them both when he come into the picture a couple of months after Percy stated to live with Sally.

Derek stops checking in on Percy when he is 12 right before Percy find out he is a demigod because Lura thinks it is unhealthy that he is slightly staking their cousin and tills him that he can only check in if he goes and talks to Percy to try and rebuild their relationship. When the whole man hunt thing goes on tv Derek feels like he could have avoided it if he was still checking in on Percy and goes and tries to find him. In Derek's search he finds out how smelly gabe was treating Sally and Percy. When Percy and Sally get home safe Derek decides to stop his check ins because he feels like a starker instead of a protector sine he missed something so big with smelly gabe.

When Lura goes back to Beacon Hills Derek checks in on Percy for the first time in a couple of years just so he could reassure that his family is safe only to over hear the call Sally got after the saint helens volcano incident and believes that Percy is dead. Since he doesn't know for sure how Percy died so he assumed that it was hunters that found out that he was something other than completely human. He goes to call Lura and tell he the news only to find out that she was killed. He had no lead on Percy's killers so he decides to hunt down Lura's killer.

When he gets to town he tries to look out for Scott and Stiles since they are the same age as Percy is and he feels supper guilty that he never really got to know his cousin, so he wants to make sure that kids Percy age don't end up in the same early grave. He is torn between keeping Stiles close to keep him safe and scaring him away. He doesn't want to fail Stiles by being to far away to notice when he isn't safe like he was with Percy but he thinks it is unsafe for a human to be rapped up in this stuff since every good human he knows that got in the supernatural stuff died and want to keep him away for it all.

Things are dragged out longer than in canon and Peter is saner. He had his connection to Percy to help him hold on to keep him sane and in-between the killing he is looking for his son how he knows survived the fire. The whole school year passes and it is the start of summer when they find out that the alpha is peter and they have their big show down. Peter asks Derek what happened to Percy, that he knows that his son survived the fire and has been though a lot of pain and suffering since than, he almost wished Percy was killed in the fire to save him form the life he had because it must have been something for him to be suicidal at 12 and didn't look to be getting better. In the end Derek was unwilling to kill Peter and Peter was never lite on fire. They kill Kate and try to find out what happened to Percy.

Stiles get brought in to help figure out what happened to Percy and end up adopted by Peter since the Sheriff isn't the best dad. They find Percy when he loses his memories and that is about the time Gerenold comes to town.

Wolf 359 Season 1 Episode 9 - “The Empty Man Cometh”

[intro music]

Welcome to Wolf 359.

Eiffel: This is the audio log of Communications Officer Doug Eiffel, recording from the comms room of the USS Hephaestus Station. Welcome to day five thirty of our little camping trip to the Leo constellation.

[announcement chime]

Eiffel: And, you’re just in time for today’s weather.

Hera: [over announcement system] Attention, crew members. It seems that the ion wind cluster that I’ve been monitoring for the past twelve hours is veering towards us after all.

Eiffel: [sighs in frustration] Balls.

Hera: I hoped to avoid any direct contact with this anomaly but, its path is shifting faster than I can adjust our trajectory. And it’s now in a direct intercept vector. Please take a moment to ensure that all precautionary measures we discussed earlier have been properly implemented. The interior environment of the Hephaestus should remain largely undisturbed, but brace yourselves for light turbulence and impaired functionality in some of our electrical systems for the next three and a half hours. Thank you.

[announcement chime]

Eiffel: I swear to god. If it’s not a passing comet, it’s a solar flare. If it’s not a flare, it’s a geomagnetic storm. Now it’s an ion wind! Who knows there could be so much freaking weather without an atmosphere?

[door opening]

Minkowski: Eiffel. You locked down the solar panels this afternoon, right? I want to make sure that we’re ready for whatever this ion wind thing can throw our way.

Eiffel: Can we... ever really be... ready for anything, Commander?

Minkowski: I just want to know if we’re safe.

Eiffel: Define... safe.

Minkowski: Eiffel, come on. It’s a simple question.

Eiffel: Or... is it?

[pause]

Minkowski: Are you done now?

Eiffel: Yeah, I think it ran its course.

Minkowski: Did you have fun?

Eiffel: Eh... not really. Low hanging fruit. But yeah, I closed up the panels this morning, and double-checked to make sure they’re set about an hour ago. Hatches are battened down.

Minkowski: Oh. Good. Might just get through this without too much damage.

Eiffel: Riders on the storm, man. Riders on the storm.

[machine begins rapidly plinking]

Eiffel: Woah, haven’t heard that one in a while.

Minkowski: What is that?

Eiffel: Pulse beacon relay receptor. Basically, one way space fax. Looks like something’s coming down the pipeline from out friends over at Canaveral.

Minkowski: We’re getting a message from Command?

Eiffel: It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Whatever happened to those weekly calls from mom and dad?

Minkowski: What’s it say?

Eiffel: Decoding trans-galactic transmissions ain’t like dustin’ crops, farm girl. Give me a moment.

[machine finishes plinking and prints]

[paper tears]

Eiffel: Here we go, let’s see. [clears throat] “The golden rose is ready for melting. Proceed with designation alpha. Beware, five, the empty man has awoken”?

[pause]

Minkowski: What? Gimme that. Well that makes no sense. You must have transcoded it wrong.

Eiffel: Uh-uh. Well I won’t deny that’s totally something that could theoretically happen, if there’d been a transcription error, we wouldn’t be looking at words. We’d have like, I don’t know, random strings of ampersands and sevens. I don’t know what they’re playing at. This is the message Command wanted us to have.

Minkowski: But it makes no sense.

Eiffel: Uh, yeah. I’m kind of relieved we agree about that.

Minkowski: Well, can we radio them and ask for a clarification?

Eiffel: Unfortunately, the good folks at Goddard Futuristics spared every expense when they put this boat together. We only get high-speed cable vision for the incoming. We’re still on dial-up for the outgoing. We can send something, but it’ll take about two weeks to get a message back to Earth. And that’s if this ion thing doesn’t slow it down.

Minkowski: So then, what the hell are we supposed to do with this?

Eiffel: Hang on, I’ve got an idea.

[open intercom buzz]

Eiffel: Dr. Hilbert, you copy?

Hilbert: [over intercom] Loud and clear, Eiffel. What is it?

Eiffel: The words “golden rose”, or “designation alpha”, mean anything to you?

Hilbert: [over intercom] What? Why?

Eiffel: We just got a weird-ass telex from Command, we’re trying to make heads or tails of it.

Minkowski: Read him the other thing, the thing about the man.

Eiffel: Oh yeah, uh... “The empty man has awoken.” Ring any gongs?

Hilbert: [over intercom] Afraid not, Eiffel. Not entirely sure what that could be a reference to.

Eiffel: Hm, well, worth a shot.

[machine begins rapidly plinking]

Eiffel: Oh, uh, un momento, por favor, Doctor Hilberto. Looks like we’re getting another wire.

[machine finishes plinking and prints]

[paper tears]

Eiffel: Alright, let’s see. “The Andromedas are broken. The northern light should be reversed. Alert four. The empty man approaches.” [pause] Have like a whole bunch of drugs been made legal while we’ve been up here? Am I missing out on that?

Minkowski: Alright. Hang on. Let’s look at this thing rationally. So the first two sentences of both of those messages make completely no sense, right?

Hilbert: [over intercom] Right.

Eiffel: Right.

Minkowski: Right. But then second halves followed a pattern. It’s a warning. Then something about this, “empty man”. Whatever that is.

Eiffel: Yeah. And then there’s the numbers. Five on the first one, and four on the second one.

Hilbert: [over intercom] A countdown, maybe?

Eiffel: What happens when we run out of numbers? [pause] The empty man... cometh?

[pause]

Minkowski: Look. For the time being, we have no idea what these messages mean, so let’s not get worked up about them. If Command is trying to... warn us about something, there’s not much we can do about it just from these messages. So let’s focus on what we do know is real, like this ion cloud that we’re about to go through, alright?

Eiffel: Yeah.

Hilbert: [over intercom] Indeed.

Eiffel: Good plan.

[machine rapidly plinks, then prints]

[paper tears]

Eiffel: [clears throat] “The frozen pages are blank. Decide what to do with the time that is given to you. Emergency three. The empty man hungers.”

[pause]

Minkowski: On... second thought... I’m gonna inspect the armoury to make sure that all of our stores are in good working order.

Hilbert: [over intercom] And I’m going to run few security checks on our airlock perimeter.

Eiffel: Right. Yeah. Good plans. I’m just gonna... uh, hold down the fort here. I guess. Um, one second, dear listeners.

[two static bursts]

Eiffel: Hi again folks. It’s been about three hours since I turned off the recorder, and things have been pretty… quiet. Minkowski and Hilbert have been checking the station’s systems, making sure that nothing is too far out of the norm. [pause] They’ve locked up all of the airlocks, and access points, so we should be... pretty safe? Based on our… limited perception of safety.

[door opens and closes]

Minkowski: Alright, just finished our third sweep through the station, and everything is locked up tight.

Hilbert: The sensory alarm system is calibrated to its most sensitive setting. If anything other than ourselves moves throughout the station, we should know about it.

Minkowski: And, I’ve retrieved two of the handguns from the armoury, so if and when this “empty man” thing shows up, we should be ready for it.

Eiffel: Only two guns? There’s three of us.

Minkowski: Hilbert’s not a trained marksman, and I’m not putting a gun in the hand of a civilian just yet. It’s you and me, Doug.

Eiffel: Oh great. The full hoo-ah.

[ship creaks]

Eiffel: What the hell was that?

Minkowski: Easy, Eiffel. We’re hitting the worst of the ion winds. That’s our scheduled turbulence. How’re you doing, Hera?

Hera: A-Acceptable, Commander, although certain systems are beginning to show signs of strain.

Minkowski: Do your best to keep things under control. Let us know if anything goes seriously wrong.

Eiffel: Hey, on the plus side, at least we haven’t had any other messages from Command, so maybe this whole thing is just blown –

[machine begins rapidly plinking]

Hilbert: You had to say something. You had to open your mouth.

[machine finishes plinking and prints]

[paper tears]

Eiffel: [sighs] “The broken flower is in the vase. Don’t listen to your eyes. Danger. Two. The empty man sees you.” [pause] Okay, officially now, what the hell? What’s coming towards us? What – What is this apparently indescribable thing?

Minkowski: Don’t freak. I don’t like this any more than you do, but we’re still on a space station, eight light-years away from Earth, things can’t just show up on our doorstep.

Eiffel: You know, Commander, that would be a pretty good argument, if we didn’t have a crazy plant monster living in our air vents! Or, if we didn’t get weird whispers when we lost power! Honestly, there’s a lot of stuff that goes down around here that really shouldn’t be possible, but here we are!

Hilbert: Hera! Are there any objects or crafts on approach vector towards the Hephaestus?

Hera: ... No, Dr. Hilbert. Not... at the moment.

Minkowski: Hera? You don’t sound very confident.

Hera: Well, the ion winds are interfering with my sensory instruments, and my visibility of the airspace around the Hephaestus is down to eighty-one percent. Nothing is showing up on my sensory input, but I’m working with blind spots. [pause] However, the possibility of an object being nearby is... mathematically unlikely.

Eiffel: Mathematically unlikely? That’s the best we can do right now?

Hera: I’m sorry, I’m dealing with a rather extreme weather condition here. And a boarding party isn’t exactly something I prepped for this morning. Visibility down to fifty-six percent.

Eiffel: [sighs] This just keeps getting better and better.

[machine rapidly plinks, then prints]

[paper tears]

Eiffel: “There’s no way out. There’s no way out. But there is a way in. Danger. One. The empty man shall knock.”

[pause]

Eiffel and Minkowski, at once: Hera?

Hera: Still at zero sensory contact. Visibility down to thirty-seven percent.

Eiffel: Is there... anything we can do to get out of here? Can we... put the station in reverse and back out of this cloud, or something?

Minkowski: Hera’s already using all of her engine power to compensate for the ion winds. If we tried to change course now, we might end up in –

Hilbert: [whispered] Shh! Quiet! Don’t you hear that?

[distant sound of rhythmic creaking]

Eiffel: What was that?

Hilbert: Could just be side effect of the ion winds. We’re going through the worst of it now. It might be exerting enough energy on the ship to cause temperature fluctuation. It could just be metal in the ship’s hull expanding a bit.

Eiffel. There are a lot of “could”s in that explanation, Doctor.

Minkowski: [whispered] Hera. Is anything going on with our hull?

Hera: ... Not... as far as I can tell, Commander, but visibility is down to nine percent. I’m basically flying blind for the next few minutes.

[hiss of escaping air]

Hilbert: [whispered] Just the Hephaestus compensating for the weather conditions. Atmospheric regulators, parametric stabilisers, all just doing their job. It’s all regular noises in process of keeping interior of the Hephaestus warm and stable environment.

Minkowski: [whispered] Are... you... sure about that, Doctor?

Hilbert: [whispered]...No. But I like the sound of my voice better than the sounds of what’s going on out there.

[rhythmic clinking of metal]

Minkowski: [whispered] Hilbert. Thoughts?

Hilbert: [whispered] Well. That sounded like one of two things. Option one: simply the hull cooling after coming into contact with a... unusually warm pocket of gas that’s been swept up in the wake of the ion winds.

Eiffel: [whispered] What are the odds of that being the case, Doctor?

[pause]

Hilbert: [whispered] Within the realm of the possible? Barely.

[rhythmic clinking of metal]

[pause]

Minkowski: [whispered] What’s the other option?

Hilbert: [whispered] Something’s walking on the outside of the Hephaestus.

Eiffel: [whispered] Oh! It’s him! It’s definitely him!

Minkowski: [whispered] Shh! Stop that! We don’t know that, Eiffel! Listen to Dr. Hilbert, it could just be the station reacting to the ion cloud. There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation here.

Eiffel: [whispered] Come on, Commander. After all the crazy wabba-jabba we’ve seen on here? And with Command breaking radio silence for the first time in months to warn us? Yes. There is a perfectly reasonable explanation! And it is that the empty, hungry thing is out there right now! About to go big, bad wolf on our straw house!

Minkowski: [whispered] Hera. There’s nothing moving inside the station aside from the three of us, right?

Hera: That’s correct, Commander.

Minkowski: [whispered] And all of the entrances to the station are still closed, right?

Hera: Rig- uh, ah, yes, sure! Probably?

Minkowski: [whispered] Probably?

Hera: I-I... I’m having some trouble connecting to aft deck airlock number three. I’m getting some low-level electromagnetic interference. Climate and pressure controls register as normal, but... I cannot confirm that the airlock has not been opened.

[machine rapidly plinks, then prints]

[paper tears]

Eiffel: [whispered] “Zero. The empty man is with you. Extreme danger. Zero. The empty man is with you. Extreme danger.” That’s all it says.

[long pause]

[hiss of escaping air]

[distant tapping noise]

Hera: Not to alarm you all, but my systems indicate a power fluctuation is immin – [power cuts]

Minkowski: Right!

[crew shouting over each other frantically]

Hera: Hold on, hold on! Hold on! Lights back to nominal in exactly one second!

[sound of powering up]

[machine rapidly plinks, then prints]

[paper tears]

Eiffel: Oh god damn it!

Minkowski: What?

Eiffel: You have got to be kidding me!

Hilbert: What?

Eiffel: Those sons of bitches!

Minkowski and Hilbert, at once: What?

Eiffel: [exhales angrily] “The preceding six pulse beacon relays that you’ve received, have been part of a psychological experiment. Please disregard the content of these messages. And return to regular operational activities as soon as possible. Please record, and clearly label, any unusual crew behaviour, deviation from protocol, or undue lack of decorum that resulted on account of the transmission of these messages in your daily logs. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Hera: Well. Following that, this is going to seem a lot less sexy. But I’m happy to report that we’re finally starting to move past the ion wind cluster. Visibility is returning to normal, and systems are stabilising. I can confirm that there are no outside presences, or lifeforms with any degree of nutritional insufficiency at this time.

Minkowski: Thank you, Hera.

Eiffel: Those... bastards! How dare they put us through something like that? It’s cruel! And sick! And… other adjectives! What kind of person is deranged enough to call that an experiment?

Minkowski: Relax. We’ve all had enough excitement for one evening. Come on, let’s all just take a moment to cool off, gather ourselves, and... really reflect on how horrible what was just done to us was.

Eiffel: Commander, you’re not going to just... leave things at that, are you?

Minkowski: Oh don’t worry. I think you’ll find that – what did you say it was? Two weeks? Two weeks from tomorrow, the folks at Command are going to get a fantastically worded message from the three of us. Telling them exactly what we thought of their little test. I just wouldn’t want to spoil something like that by rushing into it. I think, gentlemen, we need a proper night’s sleep to really let our anger reach its full potential.

Hilbert: I concur wholeheartedly, Commander. If you require any sentiments beyond reach of the English language, I am happy to supply alternatives in Russian, Norwegian, German, Swedish, or Afrikaans.

Eiffel: Hey kids, I’ll log it in all six.

Minkowski: Sounds good. Goodnight, Eiffel. Doctor.

Hilbert: Goodnight all.

[door opens]

Eiffel: Goodnight.

[door closes]

Eiffel: Aw hell, speaking of logs. I guess you caught all of that, so... You might be able to pick up on the effect your twisted experiment had on us. Hint. It. Was. Awful! Sorry if things got a bit... crazy for a while there, dear listeners, but... you see the kind of things we have to deal with! And I used to complain about my boss at Pizza Hut. Anyway, from the USS Hephaestus Station, this is Communications Officer Doug Eiffel, signing off. Goodnight, folks.

Tiny satellite tests autonomy in space In May 2022, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Transporter-5 mission into orbit. The mission contained a collection of micro and nanosatellites from both industry and government, including one from MIT Lincoln Laboratory called the Agile MicroSat (AMS). AMS's primary mission is to test automated maneuvering capabilities in the tumultuous very low-Earth orbit (VLEO) environment, starting at 525 kilometers above the surface and lowering down. VLEO is a challenging location for satellites because the higher air density, coupled with variable space weather, causes increased and unpredictable drag that requires frequent maneuvers to maintain position. Using a commercial off-the-shelf electric-ion propulsion system and custom algorithms, AMS is testing how well it can execute automated navigation and control over an initial mission period of six months. "AMS integrates electric propulsion and autonomous navigation and guidance control algorithms that push a lot of the operation of the thruster onto the spacecraft—somewhat like a self-driving car," says Andrew Stimac, who is the principal investigator for the AMS program and the leader of the laboratory's Integrated Systems and Concepts Group. Stimac sees AMS as a kind of pathfinder mission for the field of small satellite autonomy. Autonomy is essential to support the growing number of small satellite launches for industry and science because it can reduce the cost and labor needed to maintain them, enable missions that call for quick and impromptu responses, and help to avoid collisions in an already-crowded sky. AMS is the first-ever test of a nanosatellite with this type of automated maneuvering capability. AMS uses an electric propulsion thruster that was selected to meet the size and power constraints of a nanosatellite while providing enough thrust and endurance to enable multiyear missions that operate in VLEO. The flight software, called the Bus Hosted Onboard Software Suite, was designed to autonomously operate the thruster to change the spacecraft's orbit. Operators on the ground can give AMS a high-level command, such as to descend to and maintain a 300-kilometer orbit, and the software will schedule thruster burns to achieve that command autonomously, using measurements from the onboard GPS receiver as feedback. This experimental software is separate from the bus flight software, which allows AMS to safely test its novel algorithms without endangering the spacecraft. "One of the enablers for AMS is the way in which we've created this software sandbox onboard the spacecraft," says Robert Legge, who is another member of the AMS team. "We have our own hosted software that's running on the primary flight computer, but it's separate from the critical health and safety avionics software. Basically, you can view this as being a little development environment on the spacecraft where we can test out different algorithms." AMS has two secondary missions called Camera and Beacon. Camera's mission is to take photos and short video clips of the Earth's surface while AMS is in different low-Earth orbit positions. "One of the things we're hoping to demonstrate is the ability to respond to current events," says Rebecca Keenan, who helped to prepare the Camera payload. "We could hear about something that happened, like a fire or flood, and then respond pretty quickly to maneuver the satellite to image it." Keenan and the rest of the AMS team are collaborating with the laboratory's DisasterSat program, which aims to improve satellite image processing pipelines to help relief agencies respond to disasters more quickly. Small satellites that could schedule operations on-demand, rather than planning them months in advance before launch, could be a great asset to disaster response efforts. The other payload, Beacon, is testing new adaptive optics capabilities for tracking fast-moving targets by sending laser light from the moving satellite to a ground station at the laboratory's Haystack Observatory in Westford, Massachusetts. Enabling precise laser pointing from an agile satellite could aid many different types of space missions, such as communications and tracking space debris. It could also be used for emerging programs such as Breakthrough Starshot, which is developing a satellite that can accelerate to high speeds using a laser-propelled lightsail. "As far as we know, this is the first on-orbit artificial guide star that has launched for a dedicated adaptive optics purpose," says Lulu Liu, who worked on the Beacon payload. "Theoretically, the laser it carries can be maneuvered into position on other spacecraft to support a large number of science missions in different regions of the sky." The team developed Beacon with a strict budget and timeline and hope that its success will shorten the design and test loop of next-generation laser transmitter systems. "The idea is that we could have a number of these flying in the sky at once, and a ground system can point to one of them and get near-real-time feedback on its performance," says Liu. AMS weighs under 12 kilograms with 6U dimensions (23 x 11 x 36 centimeters). The bus was designed by Blue Canyon Technologies and the thruster was designed by Enpulsion GmbH. Legge says that the AMS program was approached as an opportunity for Lincoln Laboratory to showcase its ability to conduct work in the space domain quickly and flexibly. Some major roadblocks to rapid development of new space technology have been long timelines, high costs, and the extremely low risk tolerance associated with traditional space programs. "We wanted to show that we can really do rapid prototyping and testing of space hardware and software on orbit at an affordable cost," Legge says. "AMS shows the value and fast time-to-orbit afforded by teaming with rapid space commercial partners for spacecraft core bus technologies and launch and ground segment operations, while allowing the laboratory to focus on innovative mission concepts, advanced components and payloads, and algorithms and processing software," says Dan Cousins, who is the program manager for AMS. "The AMS team appreciates the support from the laboratory's Technology Office for allowing us to showcase an effective operating model for rapid space programs." AMS took its first image on June 1, completed its thruster commissioning in July, and has begun to descend toward its target VLEO position.

That Which Remains - Chapter Ten (finale)

Summary: Lt. Ne-Lahn has joined the Enterprise as an OR, an Officer capable of working in multiple sections of the ship. However Ne-Lahn is from the planet Valaar, a mysterious world whose position near Klingon space means the Federation are eager to establish diplomatic relations. Captain Pike has been tasked with gathering information on Ne-Lahn and Valaar, but what will he and the Enterprise discover upon being drawn further into the mystery?

Characters: Captain Christopher Pike, Strange New Worlds crew, OC!Ne-Lahn

Warnings: Occasional adult/dark themes, occasional threat of violence/danger, technical/space jargon, angsty, eventual LGBTQ+ themes including homophobia, sparse on fluff, lightly beta’d.

WC: 3519

Chapter Ten:

Captain's log: Stardate 1591.8, We believe Lt. Ne-Lahn has successfully landed planetside, not having registered the destruction of her ship. She's been away for several hours now and we await her check in via subspace transmitter. The Lieutenant's task is to gather any and all information on the strange goings on in the Betazine system. It isn't clear under what conditions she's been received, we have to hope that the Valaarians are treating her well and not holding her ex-citizenship against her. The Lieutenant must rendezvous with the ship in eight hours. If we don't hear from her by then, Enterprise will be forced to hail the planet and perhaps then our negotiations will begin in earnest.

"Captain, I'm picking up a distress beacon from the planet…" Captain Uhura swung around in her chair and almost caused the Captain to jump out of his.

"Are you sure Cadet? We're not going to approach orbit and contact the planet unless absolutely necessary." The Captain eyed her seriously, not realising that Number One had turned towards him, concern etched all over her face.

"Captain if the Lieutenant's in trouble we can't delay… we don't know what they're doing to her down there." Captain Pike sighed, knowing that for Number One at least, the outcome of this mission had a far more personal significance.

"Alright helm, bring us in, warp two on the double." Helm quickly responded as Captain Pike sat back and began wracking his brains. Without the Lieutenant by his side, he had to make sure that any first contact went as smoothly as possible. He quickly jabbed the comm panel on his chair. "Bridge to Xenoanthropology, send up Lt. Kirk as quick as you can." It didn't take long for him to come rushing through the turbolift doors and towards the Captain.

"You wished to see me, sir?" He was slightly out of breath and had run so fast that he had to straighten up his uniform.

"Lt. Ne-Lahn's mission has gone awry, we've got to establish contact and try and get her back. I need you here to help assist communications." The Lieutenant couldn't help the smile that spread across his face. He was sorry for Lt. Ne-Lahn's predicament, but he was undeniably excited at the prospect of first contact, very few Xenoanthropologists had such opportunities.

"Approaching Valaar sir, ETA three minutes." Ensign Painter called out from the helm, disturbing the two men from their conversation.

"Standard orbit Ensign Painter, Cadet Uhura? Prepare the following message and transmit it on my signal. This is Captain Pike of the starship Enterprise, we seek your help in locating one of our officers. Her ship went off course during an ion storm and scanners suggest she may have made her way planetside. Enterprise would greatly appreciate it if you could assist in locating her." The Cadet dutifully recorded the message and awaited further instruction.

"Captain, they're scanning us!" Cadet Uhura could see the buttons on her console flash on and off.

"Send message Cadet. Status report helm?" Number One chose to answer him this time.

"Maintaining orbit. They've definitely noticed our presence, their planetary shields have already snapped on." Captain Pike didn't like what he was hearing, theirs wasn't the behaviour of a welcoming committee.

"Sir, they've responded!" Cadet Uhura was glad, if very surprised, that she had a message to relay to the Captain.

"On audio Cadet." Both he and Lieutenant Kirk listened closely, the content of the reply would be the best indicator of how their mission would progress.

"High Commission to Captain Pike, your officer has escaped our custody. We shall return her to you once she has been found." It was a short but sufficiently ominous message.

"What do they mean custody? Was she being held prisoner?" Number One managed to vocalise the confusion of everyone on the Bridge. Captain Pike tried another tactic.

"Captain Pike to High Command. We appreciate your reply and if you lower your shields, we can beam down and locate her directly. In doing so, we can leave this vicinity much faster." Captain Pike waived his hand signalling the end of the message. It was another ten minutes before Valaar responded, clearly they wished to weigh the risks of allowing an unknown individual down to the planet surface.

"High Command has considered your request. In the interest of resolving this matter quickly, we will allow Captain Pike entry to High Command. However, we do not allow weapons and if this is a trap Enterprise, be forewarned that such actions will not go unpunished." The Captain had no choice but to accept their offer, he knew Lt. Ne-Lahn wouldn't have contacted the Enterprise unless it was an emergency. However, he didn't relish the thought of having no means of self defence, all he could hope was that weapons wouldn't be unnecessary in the extraction of the Lieutenant.

The Captain left Lt. Kirk to hurriedly take down notes on the first contact while he rushed to the transporter room. With any luck, within the next hour, his Lieutenant would be returned to him and this whole matter could be cleared up once and for all. He couldn't however silence the voice in the back of his head that knew this was wishful thinking. He looked up and closed his eyes as the beam of the transporter enveloped his body and triggered the familiar weightless sensation.

When the Captain materialised again, he found himself standing directly in front of three seated figures, amidst a large, echoing marble hall. Apart from flags bearing various insignia, the walls were mostly bare. Their white colour, combined with the blinding atmosphere outside, meant no additional light was needed. The hall felt cool and yet claustrophobic at the same time. The three figures, two women and one man were seated high above him on a dais. He didn't know whether he should move forward to have a better chance of hearing him. As it turns out, the acoustics of the room were just fine.

"Denemaht, you are here, how do you respond?" The Captain took this to be a standard greeting though he had no idea what a 'Denemaht' was.

"I'm Captain Christopher Pike, on behalf of the starship Enterprise and the United Federation of Planets, I extend to you my greetings and humble thanks for agreeing to welcome me so readily." Not bad, thought Captain Pike, though maybe he should have kept his reply short. It was always a worry that the universal translator in his communicator wouldn't be able to convey either side correctly, or even closely. He assumed the woman in the middle of the small group, who had now risen to her feet, was the leader. Although she didn't appear of significant age, her 'meditl' as Dr. M'Benga described the stripes on their face, ran down her neck and onto her chest.

"Captain Pike, I am High Commissioner Sa-Fhur. Allow me to be brief. We have no interest in engaging your company or assisting the Federation. We ask that you locate your officer so that she may be suitably punished." Captain Pike was disappointed that their communication had already gone sour. Perhaps it would have been better for Special Ambassador Fox to stick around after all.

"Would you mind explaining High Commissioner, just what my Lieutenant has done to warrant being punished? It is my understanding that she is an ex-citizen, therefore how is she still bound by your customs?" It was a risky move, but if they intended to harm his Lieutenant, or worse, then they at least had to be prepared to explain themselves.

"Captain, your Lieutenant was escorted from our port so that she might explain her presence to us directly. She chose to abscond for reasons we still do not know. As I'm sure you can appreciate Captain, we cannot allow visitors to our planet to disappear and do as they please." The Captain still had hopes of salvaging the discussion.

"I can assure you High Commissioner, my Lieutenant is bound by the strictest rules and regulations of our people. If she did abscond, it would have been for good reason. If you've noticed no unrest or sign of criminal activity since her arrival, you can safely assume it's because none has taken place." The Commissioner tilted her head slightly and the Captain didn't know if this was because the universal translator had struggled to adequately convey his response, or because she was unconvinced by what he had to say.

"Captain Pike we have no time for argument. Please locate your officer and have her transported here." Captain Pike could certainly agree there was little use in further discussion at this point. He flipped open his communicator and signalled the Enterprise.

"Captain Pike to transporter room, please locate and lock on to Lt. Ne-Lahn's signal and transport her to these coordinates. Pike out." He snapped the device shut and decided he may as well seek the information they needed himself. Who knows when he'd get another opportunity.

"High Commissioner, if you don't mind my saying so, Enterprise noticed some strange energy signatures upon entering the Betazine system. We're also eager to find out what recently happened to a supply ship that was passing by your planet. Do you have any information you could share with us?" Even from his vantage point, Captain Pike could see the High Commissioner's expression change for the worse.

"Our business is nothing to do with the Federation Captain. We have made it very clear we do not wish to join you or exchange information. However, in regards to your missing supply ship, there was one recently that requested assistance due to a systems malfunction. But by the time we locked onto its position, it blew up." The Captain doubted her account but smiled as he held his hands behind his back. That was one recommendation from Lt. Kirk he had managed to remember.

"With all due respect High Commissioner, the goings on in this galaxy is very much our business, whether it directly involves the Federation or not. Please understand that we can also offer assistance, and this is not conditional on you joining the Federation. If you're experiencing any trouble, let us help you." He spoke carefully and quietly, hoping that the less threatening he appeared, the more sincere his offer would appear. The High Commissioner had no chance to respond, at that moment the familiar hum of the transported signalled Lt. Ne-Lahns imminent arrival.

She materialised in a whirl of light beside the Captain. They barely had a chance to acknowledge each other before two guards appeared from either side behind the dais. They carried long wooden spears and gripped the Lieutenant roughly by both arms. She tried to struggle free but it was useless, even her massive strength was no match for two adult male Valaarians.

"Wait! Please, let's discuss this further. I can assure you High Commissioner, no good will come of you kidnapping one of my officers, of that I can assure you. You go on about wanting to remain separate, but you'll bring the whole of Starfleet down on yourselves if you don't release my Lieutenant immediately." The High Commissioner gave an approximation of pursed lips before raising her hand to signal that the Lieutenant be let go. However they didn't leave as expected, instead, they took their place by the dais, ready for when their assistance might be needed again.

"Thank you High Commissioner, I appreciate you listening to reason. You've not yet answered the questions I put to you, do I need to ask my Lieutenant for this information instead?" He eyed her warily, determined that one way or another, Valaar was finally going to answer for itself.

"I believe it is the Lieutenant who must answer our questions. Where were you after you escaped from our security?" The High Commissioner spoke to her far more coldly than she had Captain Pike. Clearly, they took a very dim view of their ex-citizens.

"I had to check on an old friend. Their parents are infirm and they've now told me they'll be taken away - either to be sold to the Klingons or to have their organs harvested. Which is it exactly High Commissioner?" Captain Pike could see both women's meditl colour with rage.

"How dare you address me so. We are quite aware of your association with Li-Vuhl. Our business has nothing to do with either you or the Federation. Valaar answers to no one." Captain Pike could see the Lieutenant look away nervously, he had no idea who Li-Vuhl was, but he had to choose his next words very carefully.

"Again, with respect High Commissioner, if your citizens are indeed being trafficked or subjected to violations of their individual rights, it is very much the Federation's business to intervene." He didn't like the smirk that appeared on the High Commissioner's face.

"And would you presume to interfere with the Klingons or their Romulan neighbours?" Lt. Ne-Lahn looked at him gravely, it was true that the Federation only had so much reach, Valaar had to be entitled to its own way of life.

"While it's certainly true that both the Klingons and Romulans exact a high price for their way of life, everything we know about your planet suggests you're a peaceful, progressive species who would not be sacrificing its own people without good reason. What exactly is the nature of your current crisis?" The High Commissioner sat down unexpectedly and sighed.

"Captain this matter is far more complicated than you or the Federation would expect. Several Kantar's (months) past, the Klingons contacted us to explain they were experiencing a plague that left large numbers of their people with acute organ failure. We felt it prudent to offer assistance so as to maintain peace with their race. But when two of our Hifyamn (doctors) didn't return, the Klingons then thanked us for sacrificing their lives for the sake of their research. It appears two of our organs are similar to those found in Klingons and can subsequently be transplanted. It was then that they threatened a full scale invasion so that they could harvest enough organs for their people…" Captain Pike and Lt. Ne-Lahn stood staring in horror.

"Why didn't you seek help? The Federation would have been with you in a matter of days, we would have helped protect you - fought for you if necessary." The High Commissioner simply shook her head.

"And risk all out war? Captain, we felt it was better to offer a compromise. If we could harvest the organs of our sickest, and oldest individuals, we could preserve our race without the Klingons needed to advance further…" The Captain interjected.

"For now… there is no compromise with the Klingons High Commissioner, how long were you expecting to hold them off?" The face of the High Commissioner contorted in anger.

"And what exactly were we supposed to do? We did not want to risk involving others in our conflict nor would we accept a full scale invasion. We can look after ourselves and will not be beholden to anyone Captain." He crossed his arms, growing increasingly annoyed with Valaarian obstinance.

"You would not be beholden to us High Commissioner, as I explained, the Federation will provide assistance irrespective of your decision to join us." The Captain could see the Lieutenant step forward out of the corner of his eye.

"Please High Commissioner. I know my opinion as an ex-citizen carries little weight but the Federation are who they say they are. You'll always be treated with respect and given the freedom to act how you see fit. You'll have none with the Klingons. Please let the Enterprise help you, this madness doesn't have to continue. Eventually, the public will realise what's happening, there are already rumours and they won't tolerate a Helnifik (government) who does nothing." The High Commissioner was silent for several moments. When she spoke up again, the defeat in her voice was clear.

"You're both free to return to your ship. We will take into consideration what you have said. Yelasan Denemaht (farewell stranger)." Captain Pike wondered whether he should have said anymore but he figured he'd given the Valaarians enough to consider.

"Captain Pike to Enterprise, two to beam up."

72 hours later.

Captain's log: Stardate 1603.9, it appears our mission to Valaar has been a relative success. They have agreed to accept our assistance in terminating the influence of the Klingons on their home world. The Federation has sent a message to the Klingon Empire making them aware that we intend to forcibly stop their operations if they don't quietly withdraw and the usual weekly visits from them planetside have already stopped. For now, they appear to have received the message. The Klingons gambled on Valaar's steadfast refusal to join any galactic committee. Although we've warned them that such occurrences will likely happen again in the future, for now, Valaar wishes to remain independent, which we wholeheartedly respect. The Lieutenant has suffered much since her time aboard the Enterprise, though I intend to recommend she receive a Citation for Conspicuous Gallantry. Without her, the Klingons could well have succeeded with their plans for a full scale invasion.

The door to the ready room chimed loudly. "Come…" Captain Pike threw his data slate to the side and smiled upon seeing Lt. Ne-Lahn enter the room dressed once again in the black and red of her OR uniform. He felt it suited her much better. "Well, Lieutenant… please take a seat." He smiled as he motioned to the chair in front of him. Lt. Ne-Lahn didn't know why he wished to speak with her, all she hoped is that it wouldn't take long. In another ten minutes, she was off duty and had another engagement. "I just wanted to take some time to talk to you now that we're back aboard… can I get you a drink?" The Lieutenant shook her head. "How are you feeling? I for one am glad things didn't get ugly down there… what's your assessment of how the meeting went?" He eyed her carefully as he sipped from his drink.

"I believe our discussions went as well as could be expected." Captain Pike waited for her to continue but when it was clear she had nothing more to say, he decided to be more direct.

"What did the High Commissioner mean when she said she was aware of your association with a Lo… Vuhr?" Lt. Ne-Lahn's mouth twitched slightly.

"Li-Vuhl… we were Comashet… uh, bound to each other, for a time." She swallowed, hoping this would be the extent of the Captain's interest in the matter. As ever, she was wrong.

"And is that what led to you being expelled from Valaar?" She couldn't quite understand why it even mattered at this point, she was not allowed back to Valaar and so for her, the matter was now over.

"No… but it could well have been. You must understand… Mevara… uh Li-Vuhl and I, would not have been permitted to remain together. My health issues would also have proved problematic. Valaar detests differences of any kind. Whether it can be helped or not…" She eyed him carefully as if requesting she not be made to expound any further.

"I… see, that must have been very difficult for you." It was nice of him to say so but it remained somewhat of an understatement. The Lieutenant cleared her throat.

"Captain… I'm not ashamed of who I am." He quickly cut in.

"Nor should you be…" She smiled, relieved that he was understanding.

"I didn't abandon her because I wanted to. But she wouldn't leave her family behind. She kept trying to contact me telepathically as they even threatened to take her parents away, though thankfully it seems they've now revoked their decision…" The Captain looked down into his glass, searching for the right words to use next.

"And is that why you were reluctant to talk about Valaar? You should know that we don't treat- we don't have the same attitudes here Lieutenant." Her smile quickly disappeared.

"Mostly that is true Captain, but prejudice remains in all corners of the galaxy." He chuckled at the observation.

"Well, you certainly have a point there. My only hope is that you'll continue to immerse yourself in Starfleet life… open yourself up to your crew members, they may just surprise you." Lt. Ne-Lahn looked confused.

"I believe I have been doing that sir…" Just then the ready room door chimed again and Number One didn't wait to be admitted.

"Ah… there you are! I've been looking everywhere for you Vihiya… are you ready to go?" She looked towards Captain Pike in the hope she hadn't just disturbed anything important. But Captain Pike just smiled at them both.

"Vihiya? So that's your first name…?" The Lieutenant blushed.

"Yes… it means that which remains constant and true." The Captain smiled even wider.

"How fitting." All three of them laughed and he waved his hand encouraging them both on their way.
