Shadow,
You have to continue this. If you don't I'll have to send the mob with
torches and pitchforks after you. If that doesn't scare you I'll send my
attack lawyer, Bobo, to litigate you to death!
Great so far though.

Bill
Vice-President of Monetary Embezzlement and Lawyerial Affairs

Okay a word or two of warning; first off this is major alternate
universe. So don't be worried if you do not have the faintest idea on
what is happening just yet I will explain things in future parts. This
is just to see if anyone is willing to read this little monster I have
planned or not. : )

Archive: If anyone really wants to archive this one go for it just let
me know where it's going.
Dedication: To Quin who told me it couldn't be done - and naturally I
just had to prove him wrong about it. To Bill and Carol who not only
liked the idea but continued to demand more detailed notes about the
series. And to Kimber - this just may be the fic I get grounded over.
::rotfl::
Spoilers: Everything is fair game - but mostly it's an alternate
universe piece, just further proof that I do not handle boredom well.
Summary: Three alternate universes have come together to form one, now
one ship and crew have to fix it.

DAUNTLESS: FORGOTTEN UNIVERSE (1/?)

"Please tell me you are here to relieve me?" Douglas Ramsey asked the
tall dark haired woman that just stepped off of the turbo lift and onto
the bridge, mischief clear in his blue eyes as he suppressed a tired
yawn. He hated night watch especially when it was his turn to supervise
the monitoring of some random dwarf star in a remote sector of space.
Eight hours of watching a nameless star make colourful designs on his
sensor board, while he wasn't absolutely sure, he just knew watching
paint dry would be a hell of a lot more entertaining.

Cordelia Chase stopped in her tracks, cocking her head to one side to
regard the young man, "Actually... no", she said in a sickingly sweet
voice enjoying the defeated groan she got in return. She just couldn't
help herself sometimes Doug was just too easy to torture, almost as fun
as that loser back at the Academy... Harris something or other.

"Just kill me now," he replied banging his head on his console in
defeat, just what he needed another eight hours of staring at
meaningless energy emissions from a star he had secretly begun calling
"the death dwarf".

"Cordy, quit torturing him, he's had a rough night," Kitty Pryde said
with a laugh from the helm station, "Blinky has been the most
uncooperative of dwarf stars lately. Doug is almost positive it was
telling dirty jokes about a tribble, a targ and a Romulan last night."
She teased referring to Doug Ramsey's unique ability to understand any
written or spoken language, which was a reason most of the crew called
him Cypher.

Whatever Cordelia was going to say was interrupted by a shearing pain
shooting through her skull, as if someone was hitting her repeatedly
over the head with a photon torpedo. With a strangled cry she collapsed
to the ground, her fall only being broken by Doug as he spun out of his
seat and caught her before she hit the deck.

"What the hell is going on?" Commander William Blood demanded jumping
over the tactical railing that separated the upper bridge containing the
weapons, engineering and environmental stations from the rest of what
was jokingly called the "pit" containing the helms and operation
stations. He had been quietly listening to the three banter back and
forth before shift change, something that had become almost a ritual on
the ship. While it may not have been strictly by the book, it did help
to bring the rather young crew together as a team.

"Not sure... we were just talking", Ramsey replied checking for a pulse
with one hand.

With a groan Cordelia opened her eyes settling her gaze on the Commander
leaning over her. "Spike," she whispered in fear before passing out.


End Part One -

Well, anyone want to know what happens next? Want to see the rest of
this? Call for the guys in the little white jackets and butterfly nets
for Shadow?
