Deep in the Beta Quadrant the new USS Highlander NCC-38601, Sovereign class under the command of Captain Miles O'Brien was tracing a signal which appeared to be alien in origin, have a starfleet signature and be temperally displaced by around 700 years.
On approaching the source of the signature, a barren planetoid in an eliptical orbit around a binary system featuring a red supergiant and a neutron star they discovered the wrekage of a Delta Quadrant ship from the 31st Century and immediately all hope seemed lost.
"Captain there appear to be a number of spacial disturbances all around this sector",
Lieutenant Icheb, Chief of Operations said.
"Er...on screen", Commander Reg Barclay, the first officer said.
What seemed like shipyards very obsceure shiyards to say the least were orbiting the planetiod. These housed unusual looking creations; one was a half-built Galaxy class vessel; one was what looked like a Miranda Class crossed with an Ambassador class and the other noticable one looked like an Excelsior class crossed with a Nebula class. All were a horrifying site as there were conduits and girders floating around near them, the hulls were missing platings and damaged by what seemed to be disrupter beam fire.
"Helmsan lay ina course for starbase 720", Captain O'Brien said.
"Aye Sir", The Bolian Ensign said.
Just then a vessel came from around the planetoid and blocked the path of the Highlander. The ship looked like an original prometheus class exept with rounder joints and only two naesells with no evidence of multi-vector assult mode.
"Hail them", Captain O'Brien said abruptly.
"They are responding".
"On Screen".
"This is Captain Miles O'Brien of the Federation Starship Highlander".
The screen flashed on to a bridge crew of Lewis Zimmerman-style holograms wearing an older starfleet uniforms that Miles O'Brien would have warn on the Enterprise-D with Tasha Yar.
"I am The Captain", The Hologram in the captain's chair wearing a captain's uniform said.
"I think we have alot to discuss", Captain O'Brien said.
"Agreed", The Captain said.
On the Highlander The Captain revealed they had been created by the unstable energy of the binary star system allowing them to be sustained without emittersand that their ancestor the back-up EMH from the USS Voyager was destroyed when his vessel was attacked by a race only known as the Holo-bandits. The holograms comprising the crew of their vessel named the USS Projection NX-02 gathered their skills and information from the damaged database of their ancestor.
The two ships began leaving the system they had called the Zimmer system and the planetoid named Zimmer, when, several large bird-of-prey style vessels decloaked and opened fire on the Highlander' warp engines.
Lieutenant Commander Wesley Crusher, chief engineer of the Highlander informed Captain o'Brien of the dire need to eject the core, The Captain informed Captain O'Brien that a suitable warp core was on the planetoidand the ships reversed course as the Highlanders core slammed into the lead ship.
"Commander you have the bridge I'm beaming down to get the core", Captain O'Brien said.
"No", Commander Barclay said. "You're place is here, 'll go".
The projections opened fire on two of the vessels destroying one instantly but the other starting spinning out of control aflame.
On the surface Commander Barclay used a portable transporter unit to beam the core into the appropriate slot of the Hihlander.
"Warp core is online, stable and we're good to go!" Lieutenant Commander Crusher Said.
The Pojection swerved infront of the Highlander and the burning wreckage of the enemy vessel slammed into it's neck causing the saucer section to sever and leave the Projection dead in space, adrift.
One of the Holo-bandit ships opened fire on the planetoid.
"Get him out of there!" Captain O'Brien yelled.
The section hit caused a chain reaction destroying it.
"Transporter room, report."
"The chemicals being ignited blocked the transporter at the crucial stage his patterns were vaporised mid-transport, I'm sorry sir". The transporter chief said.
The Highlander Powered up its only engine in one piece as the enemy ships obliterated the Projection. The Highlander left as fast as it could.
"Sir the Projection and the planetoid have been destroyed, but the Starfleet vessel has escaped".
"Begin repair operations and build more ships and create new crews then set a course for Earth." The commanding officer said.
The Holo-bandits were infact Zimmerman holograms themselves from the same ancestor they wore 23rd Century Klingon outfits.
From the other side of the Zimmer system some more vessels were launched and the invasion of Earth was immenant.
