Contest: ENTER March/April 2025 Challenge - Time Travel

A novel's a bit long for this contest...how about entering a stand-alone passage in the contest and starting a story thread for the rest of the novel? It is a Star Trek story?
Yes, All the Treks...
And it's all connected, there's not much stand-alone that would make much sense. It would be like posting the third act of a episode without context.

Here's the teaser:

--
What if a single anomaly—lost, forgotten, misunderstood, and entirely unprecedented—touched not just one ship, one crew, or one era… but all of them?

It’s a long road—from the first steps to the faith the name Enterprise has come to inspire. From NX to NCC, from A to Z, from Archer to Kirk, and beyond Picard—from legends to legacy. At the heart of this story lies a phenomenon science can’t fully explain… a traveler destined for discovery and a future where no one has gone before.

I'm looking for a place to share what I've created... based on someone else's IP.
Like everyone else, I'm only looking for validation.
 
I'm new to trekbbs and I wanted to share the 396 page novel I just finished about this very topic... where do I post it?
In a separate thread which you can link to in this thread. However, that story is too long to be included in such a time limited contest, I think. I doubt anyone will have the time to read it before the vote.
Please also post all chapters of a story in one thread. Don't start a new thread for each chapter.
 
Here's my entry:
Star Trek: Buck To The Future

3128 Words - 21 Chapters
Estimated Reading Time: 91 minutes

Introduction
First Lieutenant Anthony “Buck” Rogers is what you would expect from a 21st-century test pilot. Grounded, cocky, and fearless in the face of high-speed physics. Buck is also the guy you call when no one else can do what needs to be done.

The trajectory of his life veers off course when a mysterious woman from the future crosses his path inside a secure facility. Her disappearance leaves more than a prototype device behind. She brings a warning about an alien invasion from a race no one should remember and a weapon powerful enough to rewrite the course of future history.

Thrown forward in time, Buck finds himself on Antheia, a forgotten Earth colony caught in the power struggle between an expanding Romulan Empire and a cautious Federation.

Drawn into a covert mission that skirts the Prime Directive, Buck joins forces with Captain Pike and the crew of the Enterprise to find a missing president, unravel a regime backed by Romulan loyalists, and stop a catastrophic weapon from destroying Antheia.

Set in a shared universe that bridges Buck Rogers and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, this story honors both legacies with thrilling action, rich character drama, and a timely look at resistance, trust, and sacrifice. Driven by Buck’s old-school instincts but grounded in Starfleet principles, it explores what happens when a man out of time becomes the hero history doesn’t know it needs.

Faced with secrets he never meant to uncover, a past he can never return to, and a future that depends on his every move, Buck must choose whether to play it safe or do the right thing for the right reasons.
