While returning from Academy flight training exercises over Mars, our shuttle was caught in an undetected wormhole and deposited far off course in an unknown part of space. Nothing on our viewscreen is familiar..even the stars are different, making an accurate reading of our new location near impossible. Engines are offline and we are running on battery power only. Our only means of motion, in fact are the shuttles manevouring thrusters. Mr. Scott, a fellow cadet also on board, seems to think he might be able to do something with them and I've given him permission to do so. Unfortunately, he needs outside access to the engines to really do much for them, which is difficult in space without an external spacesuit aboard.
Mr. Spock, the third and final member of our party, has offered his services to attempt to calculate our position. A vulcan, he seemed rather out of place in the company of 2 humans on our trip home, but I'm glad of his presence now for the added knowledge he can offer to help get us back home. Already, he's detected a structure, which appears to be some sort of space station, not far from our present location. Unfortunately, despite repeated attempts at hailing them, we have gotten no response.
Options limited, we are attempting to use the shuttles thrusters to get to the structure, hopefully manage to dock them and elicit their help in getting our shuttle repaired and returning us home.....
