Disclaimer: The details of warp operation were totally made up. Hell, ALL of it was made up. Any of you Trekkies out there that find inconsistencies with any of this shit have way too much free time on your hands. Don't email me saying "According to the Star Trek Technical Manual by Michael Okuda it doesn't work that way...." (I have BOTH of the tech manuals. The original is autographed by James Doohan. NO, IT'S NOT FOR SALE!) I am a Trekkie. And don't email about the differences between a Trekker and Trekkie. I don't give a shit. I have a life. You should get one, too. Just enjoy the damn story.
Star Sex-The XXX Generation: Captain's Punishment
Jean-Luc Picard, Captain of the USS Enterprise, flagship of StarFleet, stared into space outside the huge window of his ready room; hands clasped firmly behind his back.
"What am I going to do?" he asked the stationary stars outside.
A beep sounded on his communicator and Lieutenant-Commander Worf's voice issued from it. "Captain Picard, Admiral Janssen is on the secure channel."
"Shit," Picard visibly cringed and mumbled to himself. Clarisse "Phaser" Janssen was known throughout StarFleet as the most severe officer that had ever graced a starship. And she had just been promoted to Vice-Commandant of StarFleet. "Very well, Mr. Worf," Picard replied, "patch it through."
Moving to his desk he seated himself in front of the comm. screen, took a deep breath and punched the "open channel" button. Admiral Janssen's face appeared. The sixty-plus year-old woman's face reminded Picard of a Klingon Targ.. God, but she was ugly...if her frown were any deeper, the cadets at the Academy could practice skiing on it; the crags in her face could be used for mountaineering practice.
"CAPTAIN PICARD!" she bellowed. "Just what in the name of the Four Suns of Samarji happened out there?"
Picard kept his voice level and officious. "Admiral, I have several people working on that problem as we speak. There are currently one dreadnought, two destroyers, and two space-tugs en route to our position. The first destroyer, I believe it's the Monitor, will arrive in just under an hour. We have a full complement of photon torpedoes until then. I assure you, Admiral, that as soon as I know the answer, you will know the answer."
Her frown decreased slightly. "Jean-Luc, your crew has done some stupid SHIT in the past, and you've always backed them one-hundred percent. Your career is hanging by the merest of threads this time. You are ultimately responsible for what happened. If you don't have full and complete answers in twenty-four hours, you will be relieved of command. Janssen, out."
When the screen blanked, Picard, head in hands, heaved a mighty sigh. The door chime sounded. "WHAT NOW?" thought Picard, raising his head.
"Come in," he stated.
The door slid aside and there stood a young female ensign flanked by Commander Riker and Lieutenant-Commander Worf. The girl looked absolutely miserable. They entered, the girl sat unbidden in the seat in front of Picard's desk. Worf stalked in to stand directly behind her. Riker strode purposefully to stand at Worf's right hand. Picard first gazed at the ensign then shifted his questioning eyes to Commander William T. Riker, second in command of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
"Captain," said Riker, purposefully striding two steps closer to the desk, "this is Engineer Ensign Emily Trask, the cause of our current situation." Emily sank lower in her seat.
"Thank you, gentlemen. That will be all," stated Picard flatly. He addressed the girl before him, "Sit up straight, Ensign." he ordered. She did as she was told.
Picard folded his hands, staring at the girl who looked everywhere in the room except at the captain. Riker turned and strode purposefully from the room while Worf stalked out.
Picard looked the girl over. Her chestnut hair cascaded over her shoulders stopping at the swell of her ample breasts. Her green eyes sparkled as a single tear ran down her beautiful, flawless face. Her slightly upturned nose gave a small sniff. One delicate, perfect ear showed through the mass of hair. Her shoulders were broad but well-proportioned for a woman of her stature. Picard could see where her chest narrowed to her waist. Her hips and legs were hidden by the desk. He pulled a box of tissues from a desk drawer and pushed it across to her. Wordlessly, she took one and dabbed her eyes.
"Ensign, this is a very serious matter. We are over fifteen light years from the nearest starbase. Our only means of propulsion are our impulse engines. At maximum speed it will take six months to reach a safe port. Fortunately, two space-tugs are coming this way and our journey will take only five weeks. As an engineer, you understand that our phasers are...were powered by the warp core." Picard banged his fist on the desk causing the girl to jump and emphasized each word, "We...are...dead...in...space... Now, tell me EXACTLY what happened."
Emily's breath hitched in her throat, her large well-rounded tits heaving and straining against the fabric of her uniform, an effect which increased the flow of blood to Picard's groin.
"I reported to the engineering department for my shift and was informed that we would be performing a warp core breach drill. Commander LaForge sat at the instructor's console to monitor our actions and run the simulation. Lieutenant Chanoga was the practice Chief Engineer. We started the practice run with all readouts in the green. A phase fluctuation of thirteen percent above normal suddenly appeared on my readout. I reported it to Lt Chanoga who ordered that the phase transducers be shut down immediately. Ensign Caballo stated that he could align the transducers by hand. We had approximately seventeen seconds until total warp core implosion. The lieutenant ordered me to initiate jettison procedures and again ordered that the transducers be shut down. Ensign Caballo yelled something at Lieutenant Chanoga while I entered the code to initiate the jettison. The code was entered and my finger was poised over the jettison button. Ensign Caballo must have shoved the lieutenant. The lieutenant was forced into me and the button was pushed. Warning horns sounded, a force field was activated around the warp core container and 'WHOOSH!' it was gone! Can't they just find it and tractor it back to the ship? I'm sure Commander LaForge could..." She trailed off under her captain's stare.
Picard stared at the girl for a full minute. She squirmed and wriggled in her seat, becoming more and more uncomfortable. Picard liked the effect he was having on the girl.
"Ensign, do you know what happens to a warp core when it is ejected?" he demanded harshly.
