Wolfe works hurriedly as Bubba randomly presses buttons on the console. Sparks fly across the bridge of the cargo hauler vixen as warning alarms scream. The warning alarm is replaced with a strange new alarm Wolfe has never heard before. As wolfe looks around the bridge to discover the location of this new alarm Bubba disapears from the chair next to him. Not the usual way as he jumps up and runs off, but in a new way. One minute Bubba is pushing buttons, next minute he just winks out of existance. Theres a large flash of light and then theres a earry silence as everything gets fuzzy.
Im in the family house on earth, surounded by my family. My father the colonel and my mother hug me as my wife and children scream in exictment at my arrival. My brother Sniperwolfe and his wife are sitting at the table with there newborn duaghter, as my sisters and there husbands are welcoming me home. My service to the corp done as my unit returns victories from the Dralict wars. We sit as a family and celebrate our good fortunes and our hopes for the future. It was the happiest night of my life, only..... I didnt have children. After all these hours of fellowship and joy I start to relize that somethings wrong. The room begins to go fuzzy , there a beeping in the background as I loose consciousness......
The beeping gets louder as Wolfe awakes to the smell of burnt electrical wiring that hangs stale in the air. The red glow of the emergency lights on the bridge strain my eyes, a console attached to the experimental C-204 device flashes before my face. "TEMPORAL ANOMOLY -- PARADOX DETECTED" I look around in confusion as I ask myself "When the hell did that get there?"

Part 2
I fight to gain mobility as my limbs slowly begin to move. Comm buttons flash on the bridge console as random voices begin to make sense "ahuhnk this inu damage control team 2 to bridge. Is anyone there? Please respond."
The memory of the night fresh in my head. Was that just a dream? It seem so real, but how? My hand finally reaches the comm as I press the command channel. "This is the bridge , I need medical assistance. All sections report to damage control. Conn out."
My vision becomes fuzzy again as I fight to stay awake. I begin to black out again....
We fly out to the coast on that long awaited vacation. We planned it only a few days before. I manage to secure a room at a local hotel near the beach. We spent the night together in true fashion, dinner, drinks and dancing until close. My loving Carey is holding me in her arms as I lean back onto her lap. The waves lapping at our feet as we giggle in great pleasure. I tell her how much I love her and how Im going to get us that little island we always wanted and get away from the world ounce and for all and be married on the beach of our island. Just the 2 of us against the world forever. It was another one of my great nights , only........ something is gnawing at me. Somethings not right. I dont remember this night happening this way, in fact this night never happened at all! Everything begins to go fuzzy again.
"Sir can you hear me?"
"Carey is that you?" I fight to open my eyes as her gaze begins to disolve and be replaced with that of the med bay tech.
"Sir take it slow you been out of it for a few days. Im the nurse hear in the med bay , my name is Jenn. You were brought in with a few electircal burns and a rather nasty bump to the head."
"Hows the ship? The crew, are they alright?"
"The ship is in good hands sir. The damage control teams have manage to get the engine back online for now and have restored power to the critical areas. The crew is ok. You need to take it easy and allow me to check your wounds. By the way if you dont mind me asking , who is this Carey? Is she your wife? You kept calling out her name in your sleep."
I look the med tech as she checks my bandages. "Ive never been ..... married." The shock of this statement making my brain race at a mile a minute. It suddenly occurs to you. That couldnt have been real, could it? No its impossible. I remember that night. We arrived and got our room. We ate our meal together and after when we were getting ready to go dancing..... I recieved the call. The emergency call to report for duty. Carey beg me to ignore and say I left it at home by accident when I went out on our weekend get away. I told her that it was my duty to report. We flew home that night on a orbital transport. I was going to propose to her that night. But i told myself I had pleanty of time to do it later. Only later never came.

The nurse finishes changing the bandages on wolfes hands as he looks over at his personal effects on the night stand beside him. The pilot Vacc suit, pilots helmet, Weapons belt and laser pistol perfectly craddled in its holster, his aviator glasses lying on a angle towards the end of the bed. In the reflection of the mirror shades it becomes clear to wolfe that there is another in the room.
"How is our patient today?" The figures asks
"Good doctor, hes awake and seems to be fully aware of his suroundings." Nurse Jenn picks up the tray of bandages and begins to leave the enclosure of the drapes.
"Now Captain tell me about what you remember." The Doctor turns towards wolfe, his eyes glow red.
The captain half out of fear, half on instinct hurls himself towards the night stand for the soft embrace of his laser pistol. Objects crash to the floor all around him as he draws up the pistol while in a heap on the floor and squeezes the trigger three times. The blue bolts of light spit forth from the pistol and pass thru the doctor as he stands looking down at the Captain. Nurse Jenn screams as she dives behind the cover of some medical equipment. Wolfe stares in awe as the doctor looks down at were the energy bolts passed thru his body and then back towards the Captain.
"As you may have now relized I am not real. I am the EMH series 2.2 Doctor livingstone. Your reflexs seem to be coming back i believe you are fit for duty."
"WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE ONE OF THEM, TROPICANO PARASITES!" Wolfe screams while clutching the pistol in his hands. The memories of the parasites and how they control him huanting him from that dark spot in his brain were he dares not go.
"Ahh yes Captain. I am there version of a emergency medical halogram , I was installed to help facilitate the assimulation of the crew of the kotuku and other alliance ships. However I have other things todo I am turning you over to the nurse. Try to relax my good Captain."
Nurse Jenn Slowly approaches as wolfe holsters his weapon and tries to get up.
"The damage to the circuits of this area of the ship was pretty bad. When they went to load the backup systems for the med bay..... his was the only holographic matrix that survived. Sorry sir I should have told you sooner."
"Its ok nurse, Im just glad my shots didnt hurt you or someone else. just keep a eye on him I dont trust them even as a hologram."

Part 3
As Wolfe leaves the med bay he is stop by passing Mechanic from the damage control party. "Sir I have a message from the chief Melinko. He was informed that you have been discharged from the med bay for active duty and request you meet him in the galley."
"Thank you. I want you to get me a uniform from my quarters and meet me there in say 10 minutes."
"Aye aye sir!" The mechanic rushes off down the coridoor as Wolfe makes his way to service ladder and climbs up 2 decks.
He takes his time to view the damage as he passes by crew members working on fixing the batter electrical circuits. The ship is battered and scorch marks litter the walls from electrical panels that blew. However the crew seems to be doing a good job at patching the lines. Its a quick fix but its no substitute for relay switches and wont hold up in a fight if they need to defend them selfs for a period of time.
Passing a section of coridoor near the galley Wolfe notices a strange emblem on the wall. Two triangles just overlaping each other, the markings are familar. He knows hes seen this emblem before a long time ago, but just cant remember were. The door to the galley slides open, as Wolfe enters the table in the center of the room is surounded by 5 men slouched over maps of the ship and its componet drawings. Two familar faces look up at him, Milenko and wolfes brother Sniperwolfe.
"Well you sons a bitches got my ship fix yet?"
The men laugh together as Wolfe approaches the table.

After a brief discussion of options Wolfe stands up in the galley, looking at the star charts he speaks allowed.
"Im not sure of the physics involved with the c204 device but somehow we've been sent far off course.
According to this chart we are one jump away from the old gemini beta row space station. I know we have
emergency supplies there that will help us not only repair this ship but the stations computers may help us
figure out what happen. Chief I want you to get us as much power as this old girl can handle and get us to that station.
Sniperwolfe I want you to gather as much info from our data banks as possible to help us figure out how we got here."
The crew members leave the galley with new hope as the station will iether be salvation or atleast a new home if worse comes to worse.
Wolfe returns to the bridge keying the shipwide comm to address the crew.
"Men this is the colonel speaking, our situation is not as dire as we thought. There is hope. We are close to one of our emergency cache stations at the
Euclinian Space Station. Due to the damage with the ship I want all crew members to don there vacc suits and prepare for the jump. Im not going to lie,
this is going to be a bumpy ride."
Wolfe takes a few minutes to don his vacc suit and lock himself into the captains chair. Within a few minutes the various sections of the ship report they are
ready to jump. Wolfe hesitates as he programs the course into the jump computer and presses the switch. The vixen shakes as she lurches forward as the jump engines engage.
