Chapter Two
"Into Darkness"
"Now!" Burnham yelled, slamming her hand down on the emergency door button and putting a barrier between the group and the creatures. They began to thump and scratch against the door. They would soon break through, if not for the next step in the process.
On Burnham's signal, the bridge crew opened up the hangar bay doors to the open space beyond. The rapid depressurization of the hangar bay rapidly pulled the creatures and everything in the hangar out into space, though no one behind the door could see this. Judging by the look on Burnham's face, however, the plan went off without a hitch.
"Now we just have to deal with the remaining creatures," Burnham said after a heavy sigh.
"It's all right!" Stamets said over the comms. "I have a plan!"
***
Stamets had relayed his plan to both Burnham and Saru. As long as Stamets was confident in what he was doing, they had no choice but to believe this was our best option.
"Alright, everyone. Black alert. Prepare yourselves, and let's all hope for the best," Saru said plainly for the immediate crew to hear, as well as those all across the Discovery via comm link, settling in the captain's chair in the center of the bridge.
"Ready when you are, Mister Stamets."
With the creature out of the chamber in dead, Stamets stepped inside and hooked himself up to the device inside. "This is the spore drive I was talking about," he explained, his voice echoing throughout the engineering room. Tilly and the other officers worked away consoles, readying the ship to make their jump. The chamber began to fill with what looked like small blue lights and Stamets smiled.
"You're going to love this," he said to Emily and the others, before closing his eyes.
In just a few seconds, everything turned blue.
***
It had only taken a moment, but it soon was as if nothing happened at all. Except, of course, for the fact that all of the creatures had disappeared.
In engineering, Stamets stepped out of the chamber, wiping sweat from his brow. "I think it worked," he said, slowly moving toward his console. Once he saw that Emily and the others were still there, he sighed. "Good news, you weren't left behind. Bad news, reversing the coordinates of the last jump didn't send you home."
He moved to his console, frowning. "Stamets to the bridge, where are we?"
***
"Determining that now, Mister Stamets," Saru responded as the crew was at work to identify anything quantum signatures before one of the helmsmen turned toward the Acting Captain.
"Sir! We've detected a Constitution-class starship in the distance. Getting a reading on it now just to be certain," he said, beginning to scan the new ship as it began to come into sight for those on the Bridge. A tense silence followed as the ship began flying closer to the Discovery; after all, why wouldn't they? Starfleet ships were always aware whenever they were being scanned, and to be randomly scanned by another Starfleet ship would have been a strange maneuver indeed.
Eventually, the helmsman looked back at Saru, shaking his head solemnly. "It's... It's no good, sir. The quantum signatures don't match our ship's. Even though we're back in a dimension, it's not precisely ours."
Saru pursed his lips slightly, troubled by the news, but he knew that this was hardly any time to stop now. "Understood. For our next course of action, I think--" he began.
"Captain! The ship's beginning to hail us! Should we accept and communicate with them?"
Saru hesitated for a moment, before nodding. "Patch them in. Let's hope they aren't anything like the Terrans. Burnham, Stamets, be ready for anything."
In short, as for as you were all concerned, while you weren't home just yet, or even those native to the Discovery, it seemed like this was at least a step in the right direction, and with the strange creatures gone now, one could only hope that you could take this moment to at least breathe now.
"For now, bring our guests to the lounge."
***
It wasn't long before Burnham had gathered everyone to the recreational deck of the ship. While the Security Personnel were on clean-up and headcount duty, Burnham addressed the guests. "As a... courtesy for assisting us in saving the ambassador's life, we will allow you your weaponry back. However..." Burnham looked squarely at Vader. "Do watch this man for us. We believe we can trust most of you, so prove that to us by being each other's keeper."
"That's easily the least you can do," Elliot grumbled. "Do we have full access to your ship yet?"
Burnham shook her head. "No. You will have to stay here on this deck of the Discovery. Please understand that we need to know where you all are at any given point in time. Plus, we need to scour the ship to repair damages done by that dangerous species."
With that out of the way, Burnham walked off to the side to communicate with the bridge privately.

Emily clenched her fists, anticipating the jump once more... But, much to her surprise, it was over in mere seconds, although it did make her vision go blue briefly. Other than that though, it looks like they were in one piece, and the threats aboard the ship were no longer there...
Nonetheless, once all was said and done, and they were gathered in some sort of lounge, with their weapons returned, Emily sighed, somewhat relieved that she had her stick back. As mundane as it was, she needed something to channel her powers, and what was tried and true would certainly work better than something foreign on this ship, although in the case of an emergency... She could make an effort.
Regardless, as it seemed to be a time of relative peace for now, she smiled a little... Happy to see that Gumi and Gakupo had re-united successfully, though, she had a little reunion of her own to take care of.
Quietly, she approached Elliot, tapping on his shoulder lightly to get his attention.
"How are you doing?" She asked him.
Of course, she had gotten answers as to what may have happened to his powers it seems, but she wasn't in too much of a hurry to share them, as they were nothing of note. Really it seemed the ship's crew knew less about what may have happened with Elliot's powers aboard the ship than he himself did. Aside from that though, she wanted to check up on him after this whole ordeal, and... Perhaps hoped that he had at least loosened up a little since the Hangar.
