Asteroids, asteroids, asteroids. That was the first thing the scanners registered when the ship came out of warp. The unnatural
levels and variations of radiation was the next alert.
They had to increase their shields ten fold just to compensate.
To be honest, Captain Picard had seen things like this. He had stopped things that would have caused such a crisis in his the past.
But an entire solar system devastated beyond recognition. A solar system that he had visited. Worlds he had communicated with.
Some he had even walked the surface of. This was a tragedy that he simply couldn’t bluff-brave his way through.
The Enterprise was one of several Federation ships sent to the relief effort. With such a horrific catastrophe, everyone sent ships to
the rescue efforts. The Farangi, The Mimbari, The Romulans, anyone who had a ship in the area.
For this at least, The Milky Way galaxy was united.
Starfleet had sent The Enterprise for a different reason. They were to find out what in the universe happened. If this was some kind
of weapon, where was it and who had it? If this was a natural phenomenon, what circumstances created it?
The rescue was hectic but joyful still, because the survivors were so thankful to their saviors for helping them.
Captain Picard was advised to listen to their intriguing tale. He left the bridge and went to the makeshift medical ward to meet some
of The Enterprise's new guests.
Dr. Crusher had finished treating her latest patient and Commander Worf, signaled for the captain to talk with this being in
particular.
He was humanoid, with a bit too much hair coming out of his cheeks. There was a flatness to his nose that made Picard wonder how
they breathed. With a warm smile, Picard introduced himself to the alien and asked what happened.
"The space gods had come." the alien started explaining. "As they always had. Every hundred years. We don't know why but we
appease them as best we can. Personally I don't think they even care about us."
"What 'space gods' are these?" Picard wanted to know.
"Immense figures, 2000 feet tall." the alien lifted his hand as high as it would reach to help with the visual.
"They are the size of mountains. Their feet stretch across lakes. Sometimes their heads are above the clouds. They land all across
the planet, stand around a while then leave."
The alien leaned in for the importants of his next statement. "But this time it was different. This time something caught their
attention. The ones that I saw all moved. They started looking up into the sky.
Well, into space, considering how tall they were. We could see it too. A monstrous planet that was approaching our own. It looked
like it was going to ram us, some of the children said it looked like it was going to eat us. Our whole planet.
"But the space gods were unhappy about being interrupted, mind you, we have no idea what was being interrupted. At pretty much
the same time, the space gods lifted up and went out to confront the monster planet. It was so massive that they were like tiny
trees next to a volcano as they approached it. They surrounded it, and that was when the cosmic energy began tearing through our
solar system. Our ships were not able to stay in formation and we could only run as fast as we could."
A battle of those proportions must have destroyed everything in our solar system. Even though I've lost my home planet and I
shutter to think about how many of my people are now gone, I can't help but wonder. Who won that battle?"
Captain Picard pursed his lips. "I don't know. But I think that somehow we’ll find out.”
Fight Parameters:
Unicron was going to consume the planet but The Celestials had an investment in the world so they weren’t going to let him.
The battle destroyed the solar system and has already finished.
There were twelve Celestials.
Who won?
