Gibraltar

In order to say a proper goodbye to both Constellation and Sovereign, and in short term also to the RP sets in Aeon – as they’ll probably be moved to Inworldz – I decided to bring back the USS Gibraltar for one last time. Among the crew who joined me for this last epic adventure, were Commodore Kieran Braveheart as XO, Admiral Sereana Westland as Security Chief and Captain LKG01A Duke as helmsman.

The adventure started simple enough: the crew of the Gibraltar got home after a lengthy scientific mission. But instead of starting their shoreleave, they found that Earth was caught in some sort of temporal flux. Signals from all times flew in each direction: radiowaves, messages about the NX-01 launching, and even information about the destruction of the Enterprise C at Narenda.

Before the Gibraltar crew arrived at Earth though, they were hammered by temporal waves coming from the planet. They threatened to tear the engines apart, but luckily Commander Braveheart devised a temporal field which was more or less in sync with the temporal waves that kept hitting the ship. Unfortunately though, once the Gibraltar reached Earth, the field failed. The warpcore couldn’t stand the pressure, and threatened to explode. There was nothing the crew could do about that: Captain McMillan reluctantly gave the order to abandon ship. Moments later, from a shuttlecraft, the Bridge crew saw the Gibraltar explode in a blaze of fire.

But there was no time to mourn. When the shuttle landed on Earth, the four remaining Gibraltar crewmembers noticed that buildings from several times were put together. It was as if the past, present and future were merging into one. The planet couldn’t hold out much longer, that was for certain. Quickly, the group scattered to find the source of this temporal flux. Strangely though, they found all the buildings to be empty… and no people to be found. Where was everyone?

Finally, they found the source of the temporal flux: it was the domed building that was once the GFC Library. Destroying it seemed the only option… so they fired the shuttle’s phasers, and…

Everything turned white.

Then, the crew suddenly found themselves back on the Gibraltar, before they detected the temporal flux. Had something happened, or had it all been an illusion? A quick scan of Earth showed no anomalies, so if there was something there, it was gone now. Slightly reassured, but still filled with many, many questions, the Gibraltar crew piloted the ship home. It was time for a well deserved shoreleave…
