Well it’s day seven and given the day is nearly dead in the UK of the fifth week daily challenges and the prompt for today from the Admiralty has yet to emerge, So I’m just going to have to go with Guessing.

Yes I thinking the Admiralty is trying out our self-initiative skills test.

So here a ficlet

“Ku Cliq, Buzz-click,” said Schick from her Science station.

“You can’t say that Schick,” said Inulie from the Navigation station.

“Well she did and I agree with our X/O,” said Kallachit from the Helm.

“Kallachit, watch your station or watch the fishes on the view-screen,” said Jolene from the communication stations.

“Buzz-click, kliq, click, scrape, kq, click,” said Schick.

“Don’t try sweet talking me,” said Jolene

“Naw she should cocoon you again,” laughed Kallachit

“CLICK, CIQ CLICK, CLICK-KLICK CQ!” Shouted Schick.

“That is enough, I know it boring waiting for the ship’s internal pressure to equalize as we go down to the required depth to enter the Aquatic city but we will act with decor.” Said Captain Ha’rris.

“Well can we play guess the content of the mysterious cargo? Instead,” asked Kallachit

“No Kallachit, we won’t,” said Ha’rris.

“Click click klic,” said Schick.

“Okay takes us down the next five hundred fathoms then Kallachit,” order Ha’rris.

“Executing now Captain,” said Kallachit.

The bridge crew all watch on the view screen as the ship sunk deeper still into the alien ocean.

“Klick? cq, kli click-click ku?” suddenly said Schick

“How big a fish are we talking about Schick?” asked Ha’rris

“Click-click scrape buzz-kliq,” replied Schick.

“That massive, Get it up on the view-screen Inulie, increase deflector screens strength,” order Ha’rris

Inulie fingers flew over the console and the transparent screen darken as the rear view was projected over it showinga massive creature bearing down on the ship.

“That is one big fish!” said Jolene

“Schick, check the database, see if we are in any real risk,” said Ha’rris

“Ckikc,” answer Schick.

“Red alert, shields and deflectors to full strength,” said Ha’rris

“Shields up, charging weapons” said Kallachit.

“Click, CL Kliq click ck, rustle!” said Schick

“I’m a starship Captain not a marine biologist so get one up here. Kallachit if try to do that to the ship you have my permission to use the phasers to tell it shove off” Said Ha’rris.

Well it’s Day four of the fifth week daily challenges and the prompt for today from the Admiralty is: – Soaring…

Hmm that is a hard prompt from Admiral SL Walker, I’ve spent the day try to find inspiration but for once it hasn’t come readily.

So it’s time to reach deep and pull out a surprising tale of soaring, so let jump into the deep end and see what DEITDJW Ficlet emerges.

=/\=

The colony vegetation was a lush golden bronze and the world seemed alive not just in the new Colony town that she had left behind, this wooded valley she was discovering rang with the sounds of various animals and insects of this new world.

After so long onboard her starship, it felt good to be on a firm ground and to breath fresh air again. They was something uplifting to her soul as she felt her boots crunch on the soft ground as she walked along the hiking path.

She heard a cry from somewhere above her head and spotted a bird of prey circulating above her head. She watched it for a moment and she remembered the majestic bird of her childhood home now destroyed by the Horbus supernova.

Then she heard an all too familiar cry and was surprise as one of those majestic birds that she remembered from Romulan dropped out of the sun and snatches the other bird of prey and soar away to a nearby cliff top to enjoy it meal.

Torlia felt her own soul soar away with that Romulan Eagle and she felt a renew sense of pride in serving the Romulan Republic,

“We will endure and soar as high as that Eagle to maintain our freedoms from the old order,” though Torlia.

A surprise appearance by the Romulan Sub-commander Torlia.

Well it’s Day four of the fifth week daily challenges and the prompt for today from the Admiralty is: – Bittersweet…

Hmm that is a good prompt from Admiral SL Walker, So many ideas going round in my head and none wants to go to the forefront. So let’s go back to basics and a quick look at the Everyday Dictionary definition that says: –

Bittersweet adjective

1. Sweet but with a bitter aftertaste.

2. Pleasant but with a mixture of something sad or unpleasant.

Well I’m sure all Trekkie are use to the bittersweet feeling from watching the last movie, as Star Trek into Darkness, watching the mishandle of the Khan storyline was quite sad and yet the international viewing figures and the number of new fans that the movie brought in to the old TOS is most pleasant.

Or the Fate of Star Trek Enterprise after it best season ending on a below grade show and then the follow up books all ruined by the simple fact that authors for some reason can’t seem to accept that Trip died.

For some reasons this prompt is starting to scream for a Naurr story, so after the cover picture from the captain table on the Ariane above it time to go over to Chef Naurr on the Ariane. Written DEITDJW as usual.

Ariane NX-04

Captain Douglas Gorrim was walked pass the ship’s mess hall and was greet by an wonderful aroma of cooked food, that was so strong his stomach rumbling divert him to go and investigate the source.

He walked into the mess hall and was surprise to find it was full and yet the crew was all eating a strange color soup in silence.

“Captain! Do you want word soup?” asked his Caitian chef from the door to the Kitchen.

Despite his hunger, Douglas curiosity came first, so he asked.

“Evening Naurr, what’s word soup?”

“My latest creation, after the recent discomfiture, is that the right word of my chocolate poisoning joint with the fake bomb terror. I try to create something sweet yet bitter that we could all enjoy and make it up to the crew. I have achieved a hit I think” Replied Naurr

“It does smell very good but you didn’t need to go to the extra effort, we all understand the problems of a silent ‘e’ even if the Romulans don’t.”

Said Douglas with a smile.

“That is caring of you to say Captain, I offer you some soup but all the first ration has gone already.” Said Naurr.

“That’s alright Naurr. I was only passing by I’ll eat at the normal time. But why did you call it word soup?”

“Lieutenant Cassandra said she was missing alphabet pasta in red sauce, from her childhood, I didn’t have any reds or pasta in the shape of your alphabet, so I decide to do a simple spicy carrot soup but add vegetables and fruit cut into the shapes of your common symbols, so it a soup full of earth words hence word soups.”

“Did Cassandra like your gesture?” asked Douglas

Naurr pull a face before answering.

“Cassandra said all of my soups are far to spicy for her, so she had a corn beef Caesar salad instead,”

“I think after the firewater soup of last week, I can understand her having hesitation about trying it but I’m sure she appreciated the gesture if the not the soup,” Said Douglas.

“If you think so, she said as much but she did quickly disappear with one of the new MACO Officers, so I’m not sure she like her salad either,” replied Naurr.

“Naurr I think your food had nothing to do with that, don’t worry, you’ll see her at breakfast,” said Douglas.

“O good I doing one of her other favorite Ravioli for breakfast,” said Naurr.

Seeing Naurr smile Douglas didn’t have the heart to suggest anything different for breakfast to his alien friend.

So I’ve got the second Daily Twelve Trials of Triskelion prompt and I’ve got to create something base upon: –

Red…

Now when I think Red, I don’t think Red-shirts but Captain Lily Lallason nee Fitzroy or one of her daughter and a cute story did start to form in my head but it would take longer than a day to write and so I had to park that idea.

So I did a doodle with red pen, seeking inspiration and somehow a copy of red pen trek art start to came together, so I’ll decide to post them below with a little story paragraph ala the style of Star Trek Ship of the Line art books/calendars.

USS Argonaut

Investigating a red star deep in a nebula Captain Lily Fitzroy discovered a small planet and the Federation first direct discovery of the ruins of the ancient Promellian interstellar civilisation.

New Ships

In 2260 the Federation trialed three new ships class that would later form the backbone of the border dogs for the next half century. While the USS Tabard and USS Kniper were good servants of the Federation, the USS Miranda and all her later sisters remain in active service till the end of the Dominion War.

USS Hurricane

Under Captain Xenktid command the Nova Class USS Hurricane, went from science ship to photon torpedo boat leading to the USS Hurricane becoming one of the Galor Class Killer during the Dominion War.

USS Ganges

The Federation Star Base USS Ganges was originally Deep Space One and was different from other early Starfleet bases by being built on top of an abandon alien Starbase on a mini moon. As the Federation expanded, it was re-name USS Ganges and even in the 24^th Century remain a vital way-point in the Federation.

An Alien

The Starfleet Xeno – biologists have stilled to confirm if this is indeed a rare picture of Chilo alien or just one of their servant race.

Well I hope you enjoyed some FalseBill Art and mini stories.

So we entered week five of the Twelve Trials of Triskelion 2014 Challenges which is the Daily Prompt challenge week and the first prompt is: –

In the beginning…

Well then in the beginning phase takes me back to The Original Series and that starts with The Cage and the Pike Era.   This is one of the strange mysteries and great what if moments of Trek lore the Missing era of Christopher Pike, as seen just in “The Cage” and revisited in “The Menagerie”.

I always kind of hope that we would get more books set in this Era, but sadly we seem to only get the rare gem and they usually seem to be Spock-centric. Thought i can point to some good work on Ad Astra especially by SLWalker. In truth for me we don’t get to see a lot of the Pike/No.1/Yeoman Colt Trinity, which I think had so much potential.

So to end this blog here is a short Don’t Edit IT To Death Just Write (DEITDJW) piece from the Pike Era (hence the grammar and spelling errors).

Stardate 2254. 48

Pike pick up his queens bishop and then move it up to attack level two. His opponent his X/O the cool and efficient women know by everybody as Number One just raised her eyebrows in minor surprise at the move.   She studied the 3D Chessboard again and moved her index finger up to her lips.

“Number One, don’t pretend that you didn’t see that move coming,” said Pike as he sipped his coffee.   She pick up her Rook and move it from level one to level three.

“Check, no I was expecting a better move from you,” replied Number One as she picked up her tea for a sip.

“Et tu Number One?”  asked Pike

Number One smiled and asked. “Now Christopher, what is that suppose to mean?”

“I believe the captain is paraphrasing the famous ‘Et tu Brute’ Earth play called Julius Caesar” said Spock from his observing position over Number One shoulder.

“I’m sure Number One know that Lieutenant Spock, I expect she was trying to obtain the context,” sad Yeoman Colt from her position over the Captain shoulder.

Spock raised his left eyebrow.   Pike moved his Queen it to the Bishop attack level and swung the attack level forward. “I’m sure Number One you know why, and I believe that is Checkmate,”

“Indeed it is Captain,” said Spock “An risky strategy but effective performed,”

Number One just sat back in her chair and said “Well played Christopher, Seem you still know how to best me,”

“Only at 3D Chess, Number One, anyway if you excuse me I’ve keep Yeoman Colt waiting long enough, we best go do those crew reports now, I’m sure Mister Spock can give you a good game in my stead,” said Pike,

“Of course Captain,” said Number One.

Pike nodded to his officers and led Yeoman Colt out of the mess hall.   “Number One, I have a question, if I may?” asked Spock

“Of Course Lieutenant, what do you wish to know?” answer Number One.

“Why you let the Captain win?” said Spock.

“O you notice that? Well because after Talos four, he seem to be suffering from doubts, and that is the last thing we need from our Captain, therefore allowing him to think he best me, should restore his confidence in himself,” answer Number One.

“Another risky strategy, but I find you logic sound, now may I offer you a proper game?” asked Spock.

Number One showed a rare smiled “Of course Spock,” answer Number One.

=/\=

So there we go. Hope you enjoy that little slice from the beginnings or at least saw why I don’t do the Pike Era more myself. as yes i didn’t go into the Trinity as far as I like but isn’t that always the way?

Anyway pictures are as always courtesy of Trekcore.
