-Side Story-
-The Everfree Forest-
Outside Zecora's Hut
*Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Gordon Freebrony are all sitting around a fire that's close enough to Zecora's hut for them to feel safe, but far enough away so that it's in no danger of burning it down. Even though it's getting late, none of them can bring themselves to sleep just yet. Kirk still looks pissed as all hell for whatever reason and he can't take his eyes off of Gordon Freebrony, who is sitting directly across from him looking down at the fire.*
Kirk: Okay, I think I've waited long enough.
*Kirk pulls out his phaser and points it at Gordon Freebrony, who looks up from the fire at him. McCoy jumps a bit at this and Spock just turns his head.
McCoy: Jim, what are you doing?
K: Relax, Bones, it's on stun.
Spock: Captain, might I-
K: Not now Spock. We're long overdue for answers and I think it's about time Mr. Freebrony here gave us them.
Gordon Freebrony: *nervous* I... I've told you everything.
K: I don't think you have.
M: Jim-
K: Shut up Bones. *looks back at GF* First the manticore, then Zecora, the library, the scream. It seems like you know about what's here before we do.
GF: I...
K: No more beating around the bush *raises his arm* I want you to tell me the truth this time. Where are you from? How did you know about this place? How did you know how to get us here? How did know about the things on this planet?
S: ....
M: ....
GF: ....
*Sudden look of realization hit's Kirk's face.
K: You've been here before, haven't you?
*Gordon just stares back at him. In the window of the hut, Zecora is just barely peeking out of one of her windows so they don't see her watching them. She sees all of this.*
-The Enterprise-
The Bridge
*Scotty walked back on to the bridge, wiping the slightly grease-stained hands on his pants.*
Scotty: Assuming command. Sulu return to your post. Our sensors and equipment should be fixed now. That EM field was a right pain to deal with.
*The bridge crew was running scans of the planet. An alert comes up.*
Chekov: SIR! A nuclear blast has been detected. It's... sir, they've detonated a bomb, sir!
S: That's not possible. They should be lightyears away from that level of tech, and the data the Daleks gave us says that there would never be a need for such weapons here.
C: Sir, scans indicate at least one more operational device, and tons of radiation too. We won't be able to beam it through all of that. I can barely get a fix on it.
S: Get me a line to the Allies, including the AIA. I want a group conference on screen. And inform the ca-
*Gets cut off by the sounds of very loud static as all of the monitors in the ship go haywire.*
S: Mother of god....
-The Dalek Flagship, The Caesar-
*The Hacking AI and NANA are still playing Starcraft 2, all the hackers, Registered Anonymous, BRP, Swimming Dalek and Grey Rebl are all watching when suddenly lights start flashing and an alarm goes off as the entire ship gets put on alert. One lone Dalek goes up to Swimming Dalek.*
Dalek 1: Commander, immense levels of radiation detected on the planet's surface. Scans indicate that a nuclear device has been detonated.
Swimming Dalek: WHAT!?
BRP: WHAT!?
Registered Anonymous: WHAT!?
Hacker 1: WHAT!?
All the other hackers: WHAT!?
Hacking AI: WHAT!?
Nana: What?
Grey Rebl: What?
*Starcraft immediately stops as the screens return to their normal functions. The Hacking AI and Nana work like mad to analyze the new data they are receiving while all the hackers get back to work.*
Hacking AI: Analyzing... It's confirmed. An atomic bomb has been detonated on Equis!
BRP: *adjusts his wrist armor a little bit* Time to get back to Equis.
RA: *Punches one fist into the other and cracks his neck* Seconded!
Grey Rebl: What's going on up there!?
Nana: I do not understand these readings I am getting? What is-
*Suddenly, Nana's voice gets cut off by the sound of incredibly loud static as all of the computer screens go haywire and static appears on all of them.*
GR: I didn't get that. Repeat! What is going-
*Grey Rebl's video feed gets cut off completely as all the computer monitors in the room go completely static. All they are showing is static.*
*Suddenly, the static stops and this image appears on all the screens.*
*Stares at them for a few moments, everyone stares back. Suddenly, a deep, demonic sounding voice comes out of nowhere.*
???: ŚHU̵T IT ̶DO̸WN͟!̛ ŞH́U̷T͘ ̶IT͝ ̴D̵O̶WN̵ ͝FO͠REVER̷!!̴!
*Suddenly, every computer screen goes black as the entire ship shuts down. All the computers, all the devices, all the weapons, everything gets shut down. Not only that, but the Enterprise gets shut down too as well as every single Dalek and Orz ship in space. Every single ship orbiting the planet Equis is now shut down completely. They are all just floating in space.*
