"Random Luck"

Enterprise has come out of the quantum leap.

On Enterprise bridge.

Spock: "Captain Pike, we have come to absolute nothingness."

Captain Pike: "Proceed with the scanning."

The next few days, the crew of the Enterprise routinely do their job and spent time in absolute nothingness.

Captain Pike was pleased with the performance of the Enterprise crew.

The crew of the Enterprise managed to more than double the resolution of scanners.

Captain Pike decided this was the perfect time to honor brave crew members.

The entire crew of the Enterprise assembled in the lounge bar.

Captain Pike: "It gives me great pleasure to award Lieutenant Elon with Starfleet's decoration for his exceptional service on the last mission and his overall contribution to the starship Enterprise and Starfleet.

Congratulations Elon."

The crowd applauded enthusiastically as Captain Pike placed on Lieutenant Elon's chest Starfleet Medal.

Lieutenant Elon was visibly proud.

Lieutenant Elon: "I will say a few words on this occasion.

Today, I received a medal that I wear with pride and which is located near the scar that I received on the last mission."

The crowd laughed sweetly at Elon's speech.

Captain Pike took the floor.

Captain Pike: "Jeff, it's your turn.

Come closer."

Jeff approached Captain Pike.

Captain Pike: "It gives me great pleasure to promote crewman Jeff to ensign Jeff.

His contribution to the last mission and his dedication to Enterprise led to this promotion.

Congratulations Jeff."

The crowd applauded as Captain Pike placed the insignia on Ensign Jeff's shoulders.

Ensign Jeff: "I must admit that I am delighted and aware that I am now taking on additional responsibility.

A responsibility that I will fulfill with pleasure."

The crowd applauded Jeff's speech.

Captain Pike: "All of you together are the best crew in the history of Starfleet.

I am extremely honored to be your captain.

That's why I prepared this delicious food in honor of all of you.

Enjoy the delicacies and know that all the chef's compliments are welcome."

The crowd laughed sweetly and start to eat the delicious food prepared by Captain Pike.

Several days have passed.

On the Enterprise Bridge.

Number 1: "I just received a report, our crew managed to boost our sensors further"

Captain Pike: "What's about the drive?"

Number 1: "Thor is in the engine room working with Hammer to improve our interstellar drive."

Spock: "Captain Pike, I am reading quantum signals.

They come from our quantum drive.

In quantum signals, there are quantum coordinates.

The coordinates have a decay time of one minute."

Captain Pike: "Enter the quantum coordinates and start the quantum drive."

Hammer is heard on the communicator, from the engine room.

Hammer: "Captain Pike, something unusual is happening with the quantum core.

It looks like…"

Enterprise has taken a quantum leap.

Enterprise has come out of the quantum leap.

Spock: "Captain Pike, I am reading the time quantum bubble around us."

Captain Pike: "Where are we?

Is Enterprise in danger?"

Spock: "We are in the orbit of planet Earth.

We are at the end of 2022.

The quantum bubble has separated us from the universe we are in.

Time passes differently for us than in the universe we are in now.

One minute in this universe lasts one second for us.

As far as I can see, that difference is increasing."

Number 1: "Captain Pike, I just scanned planet Earth.

Rockets were launched on planet Earth.

Nuclear explosions appear on the surface of planet Earth!"

The crew of the Enterprise watched as hundreds of rockets flew from one side of planet Earth to the other and went nuclear.

La'an: "This many nuclear explosions will destroy planet Earth!

Billions of people have already died."

Captain Pike: "How can we help?"

Spock: "We can't.

The quantum bubble prevents us from making the interaction with the universe."

Captain Pike: "Perhaps this is an attack of an enemy species?"

Number 1: "I've scanned all of Sector 001.

There is no technology or advanced civilizations.

Nuclear bombs are launched from planet Earth."

Captain Pike: "Do we know which monkey launched the first nuclear bombs?"

La'an: "Unfortunately not.

According to my scan, the first nuclear missiles were fired from the east side of the planet."

Ortega: "Paranoid fools."

Spock: "Captain Pike, the quantum bubble has increased the time difference.

One week on planet Earth is one second for us."

The crew of the Enterprise watched as a nuclear winter descended on planet Earth.

Captain Pike: "Did anyone survive a nuclear holocaust?"

La'an: "I'm reading people hidden in bunkers underground.

The survivor's number in the thousands."

Spock: "It's been 3 years in this universe."

Number 1: "Captain Pike, I'm reading an asteroid hurtling toward planet Earth."

The asteroid is twenty kilometers in diameter."

Captain Pike: "Can we somehow stop the asteroid!"

Spock"No."

The crew of the Enterprise watched as the asteroid hit planet Earth."

Number 1: "Captain Pike, a new asteroid is hurtling toward planet Earth

This one is 30 kilometers in diameter."

Captain Pike: "Scan the entire sector again!"

La'an: "I don't read spaceships and technology."

The crew of the Enterprise watched as the asteroid hit planet Earth.

Number 1: "Planet Earth will not be habitable for a long time after this."

Spock: "Captain Pike, I am reading quantum signals.

They come from planet Earth.

In them are the quantum coordinates."

Captain Pike: "Enter the quantum coordinates and start the quantum drive.

It's time to get out of this hell."

Enterprise has taken a quantum leap.

Enterprise has come out of the quantum leap.

Spock: "Captain Pike, we have come into the orbit of planet Earth."

We are in the year 2035."

La'an: "I'm scanning planet Earth.

Everything looks normal on the planet.

There are no signs of nuclear annihilation."

Number 1: "Captain Pike, a spaceship is approaching us."

Captain Pike: "Put it on the screen."

A spaceship 300 meters long appeared on the screen.

Around the spaceship revolved a cylinder that served for gravity on the ship.

Uhura: "We're getting a communication request."

Captain Pike: "Put it on the screen."

A man in uniform appears on the screen.

Richard: "A nice greeting, dear visitors.

My name is Richard.

I am the captain of the spaceship Trust.

Our spaceship is part of the Unified Planet Earth.

You are human just like us as far as I can see?"

Captain Pike: "Greetings.

That's right, we are people from planet Earth.

We come from another universe."

Richard: "Our scientists will be delighted to confirm that quantum universes exist.

What is the reason for your arrival?

Do you come in peace?"

Captain Pike: "Of course, we come in peace.

We are explorers."

Richard: "Then I want to invite you to be a guest on our spaceship Trust.

You have come at the right moment.

We just have a big feast and 6 weddings."

Captain Pike accepted the invitation from Captain Richard and headed with the delegation to the spaceship Trust.

On the spaceship Trust, gravity was weaker and it was extremely comfortable to walk on.

The delegation from Enterprise was warmly welcomed.

They were led into the main room where Captain Richard was holding the wedding.

Captain Richard: "You beautiful couples come from six beautiful continents on our planet Earth.

You are a symbol of our unity and trust, and it gives me great pleasure to announce, you are married!"

The couples kissed excitedly and the crowd applauded.

Captain Richard: "A special day has been today.

We got guests from another universe.

Now let's all sit down together and eat a delicious feast in honor of our married couples and guests from another universe."

The gathered went and sat down at the table.

Captain Pike immediately noticed that the food was extremely tasty.

Captain Pike: "Captain Richard, your food is extremely delicious, and your spaceship is impressive."

Richard: "Our spaceship is nuclear-powered.

We built it in Earth's orbit.

We are extremely proud of our spaceship.

She represents the best that a united planet Earth has to offer?"

Captain Pike: "As far as I can see, your history is a little different from ours.

Can you tell us your history?"

Richard: "Our history was simple until 20 years ago.

At the end of 2018, our planet was hit by a virus.

We called it COVID.

The virus threatened to destroy humanity and locked us in our homes.

Great minds soon realized that we were walking a fine line.

If this whole situation is a fluke, then we're in some nasty trouble.

If this whole situation is orchestrated, then we are being led by people who belong in a mental institution.

Minds from all over the spectrum came together and decided to change things.

And things had to be changed.

Along with the COVID virus, we had exceptional problems with the pollution of the planet and the destruction of plant and animal species.

The solution was in the people.

The first step was to tell every person on our planet where they are.

Our planet is a spaceship that travels through the vastness of space and when you look at our planet from that perspective, you will never look at our planet with the same eyes again.

The second step was to approach each person individually.

When we are all born, we are helpless.

Our society and the civilizations create a shape for that helpless beings."

Captain Pike: "That must have been a huge task?"

Richard: "Exactly.

The process is still ongoing.

The next step was to stabilize the most unstable currency.

And that currency is called trust.

Trust is the most valuable currency, and also a currency that can lose value in an instant."

Captain Pike: "There have been dictatorial regimes and dictators in our universe.

How did you deal with them?"

Richard: "Dictators are a passing thing.

Regimes are a passing thing.

People were able to figure it out very quickly.

They realized that if they allow themselves to be slaves to the feelings of the Emperor, the feelings of one person, then their future is unpredictable.

Their future is decided by the impulse of one person.

And that's unacceptable!"

Captain Pike: "Trust is a really beautiful ship."

Richard said proudly.

Richard: "We are extremely proud of our spaceship.

We started building it in 2025.

It was extremely challenging to get all the parts and nuclear reactors into orbit.

But we managed.

Our spaceship is a symbol of the evolution of the human species.

Evolution of our intelligence.

Evolutions for our children."

Captain Pike: "Sounds like you've managed to create a utopia."

Richard: "We are not, we are still far from utopia.

We managed to eliminate wars and hatred.

Pollution and death of plants and animal species.

Our spaceship Trust has been patrolling around the Earth's and the Moon's orbit since the day it was ceremonially put into operation.

Hundreds of couples have come from planet Earth to get married on our spaceship.

We go one step further.

Tomorrow we are scheduled to make a route to the planet Mars and back to the planet Earth.

You have arrived at a special moment.

We would love to have the Enterprise join us on that journey.

Indeed, Trust is not nearly as fast as the Enterprise, but know that you will have a pleasant journey with us."

Captain Pike accepted an invitation from Captain Richard to travel together to the planet Mars.

Over the next month, Enterprise and Trust sailed toward the planet Mars.

Both crews enjoyed each other's company.

When they reached the planet Mars, Captain Pike noticed a tear running down Captain Richard's cheek.

On the Enterprise Bridge.

Spock: "Captain Pike, I'm reading quantum signals.

Quantum signals come from the spaceship Trust.

In quantum signals are quantum coordinates.

Quantum coordinates have a decay time of 15 minutes."

Captain Pike and the crew of the Enterprise bid farewell to Captain Richard and the crew of the spaceship Trust.

Captain Pike: "Enter the quantum coordinates and start the quantum drive."

Enterprise has taken a quantum leap.
