Story Notes:
Author's notes: This entry was written in October 2014 as part of the Star Trek Online Forums Unofficial Literary Challenge #4, a player-run version of the Literary Challenges when those official challenges began to dwindle. This began my exploration of my "secondary"-level Captains, who I also created in past fictions.

This specific challenge also gave me a chance to jump into the 28th century, where, from 2003 to 2005, I role-played a character named Rune Sith and his android spider Zeta in a forum RPG called Star Trek: 001. That RPG was set in a time where the Federation was in a weakened state, and took place on Earth Spacedock which had been renamed Starbase 001. I made use of the crew of Starbase 001 in this entry, who were invented and role-played by the other players of that RPG back in 2003, but in this entry are played somewhat out-of-their-characters for sake of brevity.

Unofficial Literary Challenge #4, Prompt #1: You wake up in another time and another life. Though everything seems 'normal' you begin to realize it's not where you belong. As you start encountering members of your bridge crew in key roles of this other life, you become more and more convinced that it isn't real. Where did you wake up? are you a lounge singer on a Risan yacht, or a cowboy on the American frontier, or maybe a blue collar worker on a 20th century Romulus. Who put you there? Is it an enemy scheme, alien influence, holodeck malfunction or fantasy made real?
