Hi All,
Chapter 1 of my cross over fanzine story .
Space /Time Vortex
The TARDIS shuddered and was sucked toward a tear in the fabric of reality....
Inside The mysterious space-time traveller known only as 'The Doctor' was during one of his usual set of acrobatics to steady his ship. Now in his 345th incarnation- having being granted perpetual regeneration cycles by Rassilon herself - the Doctor was once again male , in his early thirties , massively build and six foot four ,dressed in a particularly loud Hawiian style shirt over a tropical jacket and plain white shorts.
'Steady on old girl !' He muttered to his beloved ship as he moved round the mushroom shaped console in the centre of the ship, as a central column rose and fell indicating that the ship was in flight.
'So it isn't a space time pot hole, this is deliberate hacking through between dimensions and there's only one way to find out what's going on'. Moving around the console , the Doctor began to move knobs and buttons in every direction. A wheezing, groaning sound filled the air, as the central column juddered to a halt.
He'd arrived at his destination, but before dashing outside , as he was want to do in his older days, the Doctor decided to check the scanner. Rather nifty this scanner as it would show the Doctor a 3D image of the outside and immediate surroundings. He could see instantly that he was in some kind of cellar : there was a lot of smoke. Several soldiers that looked like bipedal reptilian rhinoceroses armed with some form of weapon, were lining up three humanoid figures as if for execution. 'Here we go again' the Doctor muttered, as he opened the doors, fully armed, as usual with his wit, charm, sonic glasses, which he causally put on.. and of course his sonic screwdriver was in his pocket.

Captain : Jean Luc Picard
Captain's log : Whilst the crew and I were anticipating an order to join Admiral Ross at Deep Space 9 for the final offensive of the Dominion War, The USS Enterprise has been ordered by Rear Admiral Hawksbill of Star Fleet command to the Typhoon expanse , where long range scanners have detected some form of energy anomaly. I have every confidence in my crew as we prepare for this latest, if mysterious, mission.

Stardate 52861.4 (Wed 28th January 2376)
Deep Space 9
Alpha Quadrant
Milky Way Galaxy
It was quite an achievement. The three state Federation Alliance was on the verge of the largest counter offensive of the Dominion War. The Cardassians, Breen and the Dominion had withdrew deep within Cardassian territory, to create a perimeter of defence, within which they would rebuild their forces. The Federation and their allies could either blockade this perimeter, while they too rebuilt their forces or they could gamble and strike with as much force as they could and thus bring the most bloody war of the Alpha Quadrant to an end. The war council agreed with Captain Benjamin Sisko , the Federation's 'bad ass' , to counterstrike. There were 16,780 capital ships of the Federation, Klingon and Romulan Empires spread around the old Cardassian Mining Station, now Federation base Deep Space 9. The fleet would leave for Cardassian territory within the hour .
Captain Benjamin Sisko, Admiral Ross, Commander Worf, Klingon Chancellor General Martok and Senator Vornak of Romulus, were finalising their battle plans in the central conference room. There was surprising agreement, despite the less than amicable exchanges between Martok and Vornak, who like most Klingons and Romulans hated each other. The current alliance was purely one of convenience and nothing more. Once this war was over, they would be back to being the best of enemies.
'Sir , we're receiving a message broadcasting from Cardassian territory, it seems important said Chief O' Brien in his broad Irish accent .
'Put it through chief' said Sisko , knowing that the Chief wouldn't have interrupted the group if it hadn't been important. The large view screen came to life and on it appeared , not the smug countenance of the Vorta Weyoun, but three of the Founders - the shapeshifters who ultimately controlled the Dominion of which Cardassian had joined 3 years ago, thus starting this long and bloody war. The Female Shapeshifter was in the centre of the group.
'Citizens of the Dominion as you can see we the Founders are very much alive :living Gods do not die ! The pathetic attempt of Federation genocide has been overcome and with renewed vigour we can continue this war and overcome all Dominion enemies'.
The room looked at each other with alarm : while Doctor Bashir had managed to cure Constable Odo of the plague that the Federation's cabal and intelligence agency , section 31 had infected him and all the shapeshifters , the Federation Council had refused to release the cure. Furthermore only a handful of people within the Federation were supposed to know about this dirty op. But of equal mystery was where the other shapeshifters had come from. Intelligence reports had indicated only one shapeshifter remained in the Alpha Quadrant after the Bajorian Gods of the DS9 wormhole had stopped Dominion reinforcements from entering from the Gamma Quadrant.
'You the people of Cardassia have been crucial to this effort and now allied with the Breen and our own forces we will be unstoppable. But we as your Gods understand the sacrifices the Cardassians have made. As of today we can rebuild our forces free from the interference of the so -called Federation Alliance'
Backs stiffened. Where was this leading ?
'For we have been able to create a new a stable worm hole to the Gamma Quadrant here in Cardassian territory. Many reinforcements are being dispatched even as I speak, including medical and food supplies for our citizens here on Cardassia. The destruction of Lakarian city was unfortunate , but a necessary demonstration of Dominion resolve in crushing the minority of disloyal citizens, traitors and terrorists who like traitor Demar have been brainwashed by Bajorian Intelligence into hating his own people.
'The Dominion has also as of today formally merged with fellow Gods who inhabit a universe called fluidic space. They are know as Udine and they are our long lost brothers and sisters. They were betrayed by the Federation Starship Captain Janeway to the Borg, who designated them as species 8472, and in yet another example of genocide almost destroyed the Udine as a species. It should be noted. betraying the citizens of the many Delta Quadrant worlds to be assimilated by the Borg, so that just one , just one starship could return to the so- called paradise of the Federation. '
'Ultimately this genocidal attempt failed and the Federation will fail if it attempts to enter our perimeter of self defence. Should the Federation or its lapdogs on Qu'onos or Romulas attempt to breach this permimeter they will be met with deadly force. I have considered many possibilities and we in the Dominion are prepared to enter into an armistice, as a sign of extending the dove of peace to the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. We await the response of the Federation Alliance, but I say to the Klingon Empire, to end a war to save an empire is no defeat and to destroy an empire is no victory. To the Romulans, I say do not allow Federation trickery to blind you to the warmongering ways of the Federation. And to the Federation I say , you say you are explorers and not warriors .Prove this today and give peace the chance it so thoroughly deserves.'
The room was silent before it broke out in a cacophony of voices ...
