Docking complete. This Station resembles our own, though it is not entirely as we left it – at least not at the quantum level. I believe, however, that it is safe for the crew to disembark.

That is correct, Captain. In a manner of speaking.

Then you may wish to speak to your staff. They are conversing in a language that neither our translators, nor our combined intellects, can decipher.

I suspect the temporal anomaly that stranded both our Enterprises has something to do with that.

Speaking of which, the anomaly damaged our vessels. Once our crews are refreshed, I wonder, Commander, if you could assist us with repairs.

We also arrived in this universe against our will, though we own a Station almost identical to this one back home. Thankfully, this one’s owner seems to be out.

We achieved a narrow escape. My first officer, Commander Sulu, has conducted a damage assessment, but her report is not as dire as I had suspected. I hope your two vessels fared acceptably.

Then we are alone in this strange universe. We need to make some new friends, and quickly.

Our shields are at 27% and falling. Commander, that ship is too advanced for us, even alongside your vessel. We must withdraw. Mr Arex, please vacate this system.

Commander, the Cerritos is attempting to follow them. On this form, and in this universe, I fear we are outmatched. We had better join our new friends, and abandon this Station for now.

My thoughts exactly. If we can locate this Kayshon aboard the vessel, I could isolate the frequency of his communicator, and contact him directly.

Adept work. Our crews are already returning to their posts. We have taken the opportunity to exchange some crew members as well – such a meeting of minds presents an excellent learning opportunity.

Not least with Lieutenant Spock’s vessel sans its captain. Though might I add, Acting Captain, that you certainly appear to have earned the trust and respect of your crew.

Thank you. It is unfortunate that the captain was on shore leave when we were pulled into the anomaly. Remind me later to ask after the whereabouts of your own Captain Kirk.

We possess knowledge of this time period, or at least one version of it. Are you familiar with the U.S.S. Cerritos?

Spock
Dialogue
Sensors did detect a Starfleet vessel of that name in this system. Lieutenant Scott had never seen a classification like it, though, and Marjorie and Keensera know every ship under the stars.

Our crew made the same observations. M’Ress also observed communications from the vessel, consisting of the unusual language we have heard aboard this Station.

We spoke with their captain directly, and can confirm that. The language is Tamarian.

The Cerritos does have a Tamarian crew member, Lieutenant Kayshon. He may be able to translate to our Federation Standard, so we can better understand where we are.

I possess a database of Tamarian translations, though it is necessarily slight. Regardless, without more context, I do not think we can make progress here. Ceasing communications. I hope they understand.

Puzzling. I am reading the transponders of two U.S.S. Enterprises. They are both docked at our Station. What is Q up to? Perhaps these newcomers know what is happening.
