Seeds of the Future Lie Buried in the Past

Garrett bowed with his hands, tucking them to his side as the Captain entered the turbolift. Garret looked the man over as he walked by, pondering why Section 31 ever suspected him of being a Changeling. But without a second thought Garrett continued to walk to his post.

*Such trivial work, I don't see why Section 31 ever ordered me here. I was a Captain working at Starfleet Command. There I did work worthy of me. Yet needless to say here I am on a doomed starship, on Changeling hunting duty. I bet there isn't one on here. They're practically extinct.* Garrett thought to himself.

Garrett shifts his weight grumbling about his troubles in Klingon. As the hours pass by Garrett tried to clear his mind and stand at perfect attention for the remainder of his post.

*Such boredom must this persist, thankfully in another five minutes I can leave and begin my search for the changeling.*

After a moment Garrett held that thought, he heard a beep on his combadge

*Hmm, there's a meeting in the briefing room Thank God I bugged that room during the last attack. But I cannot listen in here in the open.*

Garrett looked around for a place to listen in on the meeting where no one else can eavesdrop and noticed the storage bay was empty. Without a seconds notice he slipped in the room unnoticed. Garrett scanned the room with a tricorder making sure no one was in the room and locked the door behind him with a Captain's lock code.

"There. Thank God this ship recognises my commands. I could kiss Section 31 Commanders for implanting those commands into starships"

Garrett found an empty crate and sat down while he began to listen in on the entire briefing. As he listened, his eyes widened in shock.

"Oh my the god, they're going to destroy us all !. Shit shit shit !!"

*God, If they get any closer to the problem all is lost. It's my duty to divert this ship from ever finding that probe.*

With that thought Garrett stood back up and left the storage bay making sure no one saw him leave. With his head upright , he returned to his quarters.
*They cannot be allowed to reach that probe at any cost. The continued existence of the Federation depends on it.*

Garrett walked to the turbolift and waited.

"Damn that 'Q' for sending us here, she may have inadvertently caused the end of us all." Garrett said to himself.

*That probe was sent here to spy on what the Borg call Species 8472. There is a special type of wormhole we found and could not be classified. The wormhole opens a gateway into liquid space the realm of the most dangerous alien race ever known. The probe was placed there to hold as a barrier to keep the hole closed so no one could open the portal, With the current technology they can do great harm. If that portal opens we are all doomed!!!*

With that thought Garrett leaves the turbo lift I know what I must do.
