Episode 1 | 2
オリキャラだけで展開する一話三行スタイルのネタ的スタトレ二次創作。ここまでのあらすじ：宇宙の気まぐれで巨万の富を得た地球人女性・名ばかり船長のラナウェイと、元民間シャトルの船長で国を追われたカーデシア人の操縦士ウィムレクは、購入したばかりの宇宙船メリス号で目的のない旅へ出航したばかり。
This is a series of three-line-per-post StarTrek fan-fiction featuring only my OCs. Previously on Runaway★Trek: Runaway, a human woman who became a starship captain after acquiring a vast fortune by a whim of the universe, and Wimlk, a Cardassian pilot and former civilian shuttle captain exiled from his homeworld. Having purchased the starship Marisu, this odd pair has only just embarked on a journey to nowhere.
宇宙船ブローカーの基地を発った二日後、メリス号はワープ4の速度でアルファ宇宙域からベータ宇宙域に針路をとって航行していた。第二デッキのダイニングで食後のデザートを堪能していたラナとウィムは、メインシステムの警告アラームでブリッジに呼び出された。船に搭載された最新鋭のセンサーが微弱な救難信号をキャッチしたらしい。
Two days after departing the spaceship broker's outpost, the Marisu was traveling at Warp 4, heading from the Alpha Quadrant to the Beta Quadrant. While enjoying post-dinner dessert in the dining area on Deck 2, Runa and Wim were called to the bridge by the main system's warning alarm. The ship's latest sensors had picked up a faint distress signal.
「小型の脱出ポッドのようだが遠くてよく分からないな……救助に向かうか？」と、ウィムは操舵席でスキャン結果を読みながら船長の判断を仰いだ。「それって義務なの？」と訊ねるラナに、「自分の船に危険がない限りはな。宇宙航行の原則というか暗黙の了解だ」と答え、最大ワープスピード6.5まで加速した。「この船で助けられるといいけど……」ラナは脇のソファにかけてティラミスの続きを頬張り始めた。
"It looks like a small escape pod, but it's too far to tell.. shall we head to the rescue?" Wim asked from the pilot's seat, reading the scan results and looking to the captain for a decision. When Runa asked, "Is that mandatory?" Wim replied, "As long as our own ship isn't in danger, yes. It's a principle of space navigation, or an unspoken rule," and he accelerates the ship to its maximum warp speed of 6.5. "I hope this ship can help..." Runa said, sitting on the side sofa and starting to eat the rest of her tiramisu.
ラナがデザートを食べ終わる頃、メリス号はスクリーン越しにポッドを目視できる距離まで接近し、ウィムが詳細なスキャン結果を報告した。「生命反応は一人、かなり弱いが安定しているようだ。通信には応答がない。データベースによれば、あのポッドは‘ズィンディ’という種族の宇宙船の付属品らしい……知ってるか？」「さあ、宇宙史の授業で聞いたような気はするけど……」ラナは首を傾げた。「小さいならポッドごと転送できる？」
By the time Runa finished her dessert, the Marisu had closed the distance enough to visually spot the pod on the screen, and Wim reported the detailed scan results. "There's one life sign. It's quite weak but seems stable. No response to our communications. According to the database, that pod appears to be a component of a vessel belonging to a species called the 'Xindi'... Ever heard of them?" "Hmm, I feel like I heard that name in space history class though..." Runa tilted her head. "If it's small, can we just transport the whole pod aboard?"
マリス号の転送機の最大出力は一度に二人程度であるため、一人用の小さなポッドは無事に格納庫へと回収された。「ね、危険はないの？」と、螺旋階段を下りながら不安だか好奇心だかを隠しきれないラナに、ウィムは愛用のハンドスキャナーを見せた。「搭乗客の身元や目的を確認するのも船長の義務だぞ？ 安全を確保するのもな」と、もう一方の手に握られたフェイザーもちらつかせる。
Although the Marisu's transporter had a maximum capacity of only two people at a time, the small single-person pod was successfully beamed into the shuttle bay. "Hey, are you sure it's not dangerous?" Runa asked as they headed down the spiral staircase, a look she couldn't quite hide whether from anxiety or curiosity. Wim showed her his trusty handheld scanner. "Confirming the passenger's identity and intentions is also part of a captain's duty, you know? And so is ensuring our safety," he added, flashing the phaser held in his other hand.
