Twenty-Five Years 01 - Introduction
May. 30th, 2009 04:15 pmAlrighty then - new series! I'll see how long I can keep this up. I'm aiming for one a week, mostly because at the moment, that's probably about what I can manage. However this is liable to change, because unfortunately time is something I don't have in mass quantities.
So, then!
Working Title: Twenty Five Years (I'm open to suggestions - I'm terrible at naming things.)
Characters: Ayel, Nero, T'Lalea (not actually an OC but I did give her a name!), random Narada crew.
Summary: What happened to the crew of the Narada between the attack on the Kelvin and the attack on the Klingons previous to the capture of Spock Prime?
Rating: PG
AN: I am drawing on a number of sources for this - primarily the movie, of course. However, I'm scavenging from a host of other sources as well. I'm considering Countdown, the prequel comic, as cannon, to the extent of chosing some of its explanations over the movie. I'm also working on rumours and clips of things that were cut from the movie, and hoping that none of them turn out to completely contradict what I'm setting up here ;) I'm taking a few things from the novelization, and lifting some cultural background from Diane Duane's Rihannsu novels, with the caveat that cledarly some things have changed since the time of her books, and also that we're not dealing with Rihannu/Romulan nobility here, for the most part. I'm trying to balance things with what we know of ST:TNG/DS9/VOY Romulans.... for better or for worse. So, please forgive my creative license, though if you point out any major discrepancies, I can try and answer to the best of my knowledge why I did what, or fix things if you can demonstrate that I'm really just on crack. Please read, enjoy, and comment! If you might be interested in beta-ing future chapters, please drop me a line :) Thanks!
