Star Trek: The Enterprise Wasn’t There
The Enterprise was in the past, again. Captain James T. Kirk was annoyed. Was it a random subspace fluctuation as Spock had theorised at first, or was it a small black hole, very close to the starship’s path. Yet, here they were, in the early 21st Century. He looked at the viewscreen and saw the Japanese island of Hokkaido below them. Clearly they were in a rather low inclined orbit. “Report, Lieutenant Sulu, is our orbit stable?”

“Yes, Captain, approximately 400 kilometres above the surface.”

“Odd.” Spock reported.

“What’s odd, Mr. Spock?”

“Sensors are picking up strange energy readings from a rural seaside village in Hokkaido, Captain.”

“And you think they shouldn’t be there?”

“I have cross-referenced, the historical database. There was nothing unusual recorded there in this period.”

“So, it’s something to investigate,” Kirk pondered. Most of the crew would stick out like a sore thumb, but Sulu wasn’t the only one who traced their ancestry to Japan. “Mr. Sulu, begin preparing a landing party.”

“Aye, Captain.”
