Starfleet Academy - 2276
Sumr sat outside the Commandant office for the 19th time? He was trouble but a tool. He was a Chameloid a race that everyone thought was a fairytale to tell their children when they went to bed. His race should shift into anything they want and Sumr well... He often changed into a teacher and got exam papers and sold them on campus behind Dormaity J-3 he got caught many times and didn't stop until the most recent time where he was treated to be kicked out. This time he actually didn't do anything wrong being on his last warning he could pull small pranks on friends like teachers telling them off or maybe they made something up to get rid of him.

Eventually, he was pulled into the office near the end of the lesson he was dragged out off. The Commandant was there along with other officers with Admiral ranks that Sumr hadn't seen. "So Cadet Monshine." The Commandant said taking a seat behind his oak wooded desk. "You have forced this upon yourself and I wish you the best of luck... Due to your troublesome acts on campus, we have no choice but place you on field duty."

Then a Captain that was standing at the front of the desk with her arms crossed. She spoke with a strong Indian accent. "I am Captain Divya Kumar of the USS Arrowhead my ship is getting ready for a 5-year mission going far far away from the Federation... I'll like you to be my Acting Chief Communications Officer and if." Before she could finish an Admiral sounding like from Texas stepped in.

"Captain Kumar you agreed that this child should stay as a Communications Officer. Because of his actions, that's why he is with you and your band of troublemakers so they don't take up Command's time of having to sort this mess out."

"You'll have to remove me." Kumar said turning her head to face him "I'm the only one who can keep the troublemakers in line so don't judge my Captaincy and I won't judge how you lost 3 ships during your Captaincy they had to promote to you Commdore in case you destroyed another ship."

Then the whole room went silent waiting for the next person to fire the next shoot but the Admiral from Texas stormed out with his jaw dragging across the floor. "Back to business." Captain Kumar said "You're being left in my care... We have a small Communications team so you'll get no fight... Do you accept these terms?"

Sumr really had no plain choice either say yes to study and work or no to life probably of crime among other ideas that sprung into his mind. He was forced into a corner most of his own making and had only one option. "Yes sir." He said. But how would life turn out from him now? There are so many paths his life could go down and much more he won't be able to go back up the path.

While walking back to his room to pack a bag people smiled and nodded to him and others treated him like a Siant he was famous for his power and what the did with said power he entered his room into the living area where his friends sat. Molly a Human Female, Volgon a Vulcan Male and Sharon another Human Female. These people were the advisors to his crime spree that now just ended.

"Jesus there you are ya plum," Molly said jumping up from the cloth sofa hugging him and gently taking squeezing the life out of him.

"What did you steal today?" Sharon asked laid out on the sofa with her jacket unclipped and spread over her body like Jam on toast staring into the ceiling light

"As I predicted Sumr you will always remain in trouble," Volgon said sitting on an armchair with his legs stuck together and his hands on his knee caps his head slowing tuning like an owl to face Sumr

Sumr hugged Molly and said overlooking her shoulder. "They're placing me on field duty... I forced myself in a corner that I made." He said looking at everyone's face that he could see.

"I'll begin packing," Volgon said getting up and entering his and Sumr room.

Sharon got up from the sofa and shuffled into the boy's room like an old man who just got back from walking a 3 mile trip with their 2 small dogs. "No." She said in her Glasgow accent "Do it and your brown bread."

While they argued about each other's culture again Molly withdrew herself from Sumr's grip. "That's rough... It's kinda our fault too... Well, mostly Sharon's she was found drunk half-way through a window and they thought you got her drunk to help steal exam papers when they were up her bra and not in your hands but they were never was in your hands."

"That's our Sharon... Though we better get her before Volgon starts a boxing match and everyone in a 100-mile radius starts betting on them... I'm going to miss you all." SUmr said trying to hold back emotions. He never showed them only if they could get him something.

Volgon re-entered with Sumr's duffle-bag and without Sharon behind him. "Where's Sharon... Actually don't answer that I don't even want to know." She took the bag from Volgon and passed it onto Sumr. She hugged him one last time then un-logically Volgon made it a group hug.

USS Arrowhead - 2276
Now on the ship of the troublemakers... The Arrowhead A Constitution-class that wasn't refitted still sticking with the jelly buttons. He un-loaded his bag at his assigned room for the ships 5-year mission. But first, he had to check in with the First Officer he entered the sickbay and was treated by the man. "Ahh good," taking Sumr by the arm and dragging him to a biobed he said. "I'm Lieuteant Commander Dr Dynamite and I'll be your doctor for this moment." Guessing the Doctor was looking toward to examing a fairytale race. He looked like a mad scientist with white hair all sticking up.

"Nice to meet you to sir," Sumr said taking a seat on the biobed.

"Hmm? Oh yes." The Doctor said trapping a tricorder from somewhere and making a ruckus grabbing it in excitement. Flying back to Sumr he opened it and gena a scan of him. "Oh, interesting... Are the rumours true?"

Sumr thought a live demonstration was much better and so he shrunken to the height of the crazy doctor and quickly transformed his looks and uniform to match the man that was interested in him. "And my voice matches too," Sumr said sounding just like Commander Dynamite.

What felt like hours wars actually minutes. Sumr changed back to his basic look. Buzzcut hair grumpy look and into his own Starfleet uniform. "Okay, you are medically fit for your duties," Dynamite said before rushing into his office knocking everything over in his wake.

The ship was due to department in a matter of hours he exited Sickbay and took a turbolift up the bridge. The ship was old walking on its deck plates felt like walking in a museum. He entered the Bridge to see Captain Kumar stood in the mid section behind the Helm and Navigation beside her stood a tall fair man. SHe turned around to see who entered her bridge. "Ah everyone Cadet Monshine our Chief Comms Officer." Then she pointed at the man who stood next to her. "Lieuteant Junior Black Chief Security and Chief Navigation Officer." Then she turned to point at the woman who sat at the helm. "Lieuteant Kumar my daughter Second officer and Chief Helm." Then she looked at the Science with her eyes. "Ensign Hall Chief Science Officer and your predecessor. Below we have Lieuteant Junior Shrurun Chief fixer Andorian Female."

Sumr replied with. "Noted. A pleasure to be working with you all." He took his station behind the Captain's chair.

"Stations people." The Captain called out. "Cadet Monshine contact Starbase 1 and inform them we wish to depart."

Sumr had just equipped his earpiece. "Control this is Arrowhead requesting permission to depart." He said pushing the buttons on his console. With the information relayed from his earpiece he said. " Permission granted. We are clear for warp speed."

Kumar sat in the Captain's and said. "Okay, Adle ahead full thrusters, Black plot course heading 95532 mark 877 cursing speeding."

"Aye, sir." They both replied out loud and in sync.

USS Arrowhead - 2285
Today was the day something special was going to happen and Sumr wouldn't now about it for a few hours to come. Sumr had been a Lieutenant Junior Grade for a couple of weeks now but right now he sat on the bridge manning the main Communications console.

First Officer Dynamite and Black Along with Adle were on an away team to a planet labelled J-E-E-Beta-6 looking for a lost crewman who walked into the caves but didn't report back it. Nothing too big they weren't far from Federation Space just a day or two away. "Anything?" Asked Captain Kumar.

Sumr was listening on the earpiece and changing frequencies at the console. "Nothing...From the away team or Commander Dynamite party ." He said. Then something came over the earpiece it was faint but he heard something. "Standby." He said quickly turning channels.

Captain Kumar turned her seat around to face the back of the bridge and leapt out of her chair. "Report." She ordered.

"Faint voice," Sumr said. "With a ship still using buttons it's lucky, I could hear them wait... I have it." Sumr then pushed the buttons at the console and the message played on the bridge.

"This is Starfleet Command to the USS Arrowhead come in Arrowhead." The voice said

Sumr opened a channel and replied. "This is Arrowhead command."

"Arrowhead report to Starbase 37 immediately for Captain debriefing." The voice said.

Kumar lent onto Sumr console and pushed a button and said in her strong Indian accent. "This is Captain Kumar I have boots on the ground. My First Mate and Physician, Chief Security and My Second Officer also."

"Situation report confirmed rescue ship inbound. Starfleet out." The voice said

Kumar turned around going red with fury. "Inform them Mr Monshine... Navigation plot our course... I'll take the Helm since she's still down there."

"Aye Captain." The bridge crew called out. Sumr did what he was ordered before Captain Kumar engaged the warp drive such fine officers left alone on a planet not even known whatever it was Starfleet wanted Captain Kumar for must of been big you just don't recall a ship out of date for something it left most of the crew wondering what was going on.

The ship and crew got to Starbase 37 in 3 days it was tough for the Captain but when Command calls you must answer the call to war. The ship docked with the Starbase with the Captain still had the Helm she didn't have too but her daughter was the Chief Flight Control and probably didn't want to see the back of someone else's head. Sumr was the highest-ranking officer left on the Bridge and became the Captain's Acting First Officer when Kumar left Sumr took control and sat in her Chair.

Captain Kumar didn't return for 12 hours though nothing much interesting happened beside's the Engines almost over-heating the Starbase told the ship to keep main power on but not why. Captain Kumar stepped onto the Bridge and Sumr turned her Chair around to face her. Kumar walked towards Sumr and pressed the button her chair to make a ship-wide announcement. "All hands this is the Captain begin, emergency launch."

Sumr was confused but shot out of the chair and got over to his console. "Starbase control this is Arrowhead requesting emergency launch." He said.

"This is Starbase control." They said. "Begin launch."

"Mebl plot a Navigation course on heading 563 mark 733 Maximum warp." Captain Kumar said taking the helm still refusing to replace her daughter.

"Yes, Ma'am." The Vulcan officer said. "That course has us on a heading for the Klingon border and at Maximum Warp we should be there within the day..."

Kumar ignored him and focused on flying whatever the crew was doing had to stay in the dark. Kumar wasn't one for following orders but she seemed to have no choice. But this couldn't be good either way.

When the ship had departed from Spacedock and jumped to Warp she jumped out of the Helm seat and started walking over to Sumr and she leant into his ear and whispered. "Intelligence Project backfired we need to recover it quickly before the Klingon Empire I don't know what it is but we don't have time." She before walking to her chair and pushing down on a button. "Bridge to Lieuteant Shrurun we need more speed." She said standing beside the chair with her fingers at the ready.

"This is Shrurun." She said. "We're already overheating I cannot comply." Then a huge bang came over the comms and the whole ship shook. "Report," Kumar shouted.

"It's the engines," Shrurun answered. "They are far too old to deal with Warp 8 please drop to Warp 5.3 I beg you, Captain."

"Transfer manpower to the Shrurun's department. Bridge out." Kumar replied then took over the Helm whatever this Intelligence Project was bad that the Captain ignored her Chief engineer

"Aye," Sumr said he dropped most of the department's workforce to Engineering it had 57% of the person anymore and the ship would be lacking key personal. "I've done the best I can transfer Captain. "Sumr said an hour later

"Thanks, Sumr," Kumar said at the Helm flying the ship. Along the way, there were more bangs but none that didn't shake the whole ship but Shrurun kept begging the Captain most of the new staff she got was on Warpcore cooling duties. After 13 hours the ship had arrived hull was down to 74% and shields to 30% because of the speed. Most of the desks were on fire but the ship entered the edge of a system where they entered the orbit of an asteroid.

Kumar jumped out of the seat and said. "Ensign Mebl you're in command me and Monshine will be down on the asteroid prepare to beam us back when we signal and get back to Starbase 37." Mebl nodded to her orders not asking anything because he knew he'd get ignored again.

Sumr got out of his seat and entered the turbolift with his Captain he opened his mouth but before he could say something Kumar said. "Don't ask anything because I'm noting going to answer." He didn't answer or nod to her in acknowledgement he just tailed behind her as he walked into the armoury then the transporter room as they entered Lieutenant Junior Grade Shrurun the ships Chief fixer stood at the transport controls beside the corpse that laid out on the console with a sigh she said. "Ready." Kumar nodded her head as to say. "Beam us over."

Astroid Base

Beaming into the astroid it was clear that they were in a lab. "Come on," she said. "Search for something that doesn't look normal." Sumr held the phaser pistol and searched they had beamed into a lab the Intelligence department most of had a listening outpost that got attacked by something. What felt like hours was actually minutes when the.

Captain shouted from another lab down the hall. "Found it." Sumr came running to her. To see her hold this glowing object. "What is it?" Sumr asked. "You didn't see this." She said then pulled out her communicator and said. "Beam us back."

USS Arrowhead
They approached in the transport room that had burnt marks along the walls and floors they might have been gone for minutes but the overheating was continue to overheat and spark flames throughout the ship. "Bridge to Transporter room... Welcome, Captain Hull is down to 17% due to the warp core overheating we're all fighting fighters."
"Go to the bridge and get us to Starbase 37 best speed... I need to take care of this." Kumar said SUmur handed her his phaser before he exited into the corridor and parted ways with the Captain as he walked quickly through the floors he could see it was littered with dead body mostly burnt or still being burnt to a crisp. He rode up the bridge with plenty on his mind "What was that she was carrying what does it do" These was things that couldn't be answered.

Stepping onto the bridge and seeing just Ensign Mebl standing between the Helm and Navigation consoles. "Break orbit" Sumr ordered "Course for Starbase 37 best speed." Sumr then sat down at the Comms console to get a good review on how the ship was.

"Sir we don't have anything not even thrusters and hull is falling... We need to prepare the escape pods the shuttle bay is lost also." Mebl said facing Sumr

Sumr quickly looked through the reports through the ship most of the crew was dead and Chief Engineer Shrurun was missing with a sigh Sumr opened a line to the Captain's commutator. "Sir we don't have power and hull if falling rapid." He said

"Kumar here." Then there was a slight pause. "Send out a distress signal and abandon the Arrowhead." She said

Mebl tapped away at the Comms console beside Sumr. "This is the USS Arrowhead mayday mayday we have fires on multiple decks and hull is falling this message will repeat."

Sumr worked on the evacuation. "All hands abandon ship repeat abandon ship."

Starbase 1
Many months after floating in an escape pod with only a Vulcan for company it was nice to actually be outta there. Sumr had received his orders "USS Montana Chief Communications Officer." It was sorta nice after being the Acting First and Acting Chief Communications Officer.

Being back on Earth it had been 9 years since he stepped foot on Starbase 1 or Earth for that matter. He met up with Molly, Sharon and Volgon. Volgon's brother had joined Starfleet and just finished his time at the Academy. Sharon had left Starfleet because she felt her time was over. She is known a Chef with a Wife. Molly, she became a First Officer at the rank of Lieuteant Commander outranking the boys who were both at Lieuteant Junior Grade. But their short reunion came to a close

Sumr sat at a seat watching the Montana light up ready for her crew.
