Star Trek: Distant Shores

Different Perspective
Domsjah Doolet looked at the cylindrical meat lying in the half-way cut bread that the loud vendor handed to him called a 'hot dog.' A dog is an Earth animal that some humans kept as companions and this strange food looked nothing like one. He saw how the humans ate this 'hot dog' and took a bite of it. the heat of this 'hot dog' was at least literal and along with the cold of the 'mustard' and 'ketchup' was a weird combination of animal meat and plant extracts unlike anything he's tasted back home on Zuo'Hiraz.
Doolet was invited to a holo-parlor, a 3D environment generating room, by Admiral Del Torro. they were attending an ancient ballgame the humans played called soccer. it's still quite popular, with leagues or at the last soccer fields on every major human colony. the purpose was for 2 groups of 11 men or women to kick a ball around without picking it up with their hands towards their goal. there were similar games on various worlds of the Hirazi Coalition as well.
The game was rather slow paced, various players from the opposing teams take the ball from one another and the ball switches from one side of the large grass field to the other quite frequently. Admiral Del Torro explained that there have been entire games where no goal was scored, which is archived by the ball entering the cube shaped structure that consists of a metal frame and a net. A man stands in front of it to prevent the entry, if the ball goes past him, the team get's a point. Doolet found it interesting for a while but the slow pace eventually wore out his patience, but he was too polite to say so.
The planet achieved something that's a rarity among most societies: they were able to maintain their diversity. Doolet has very rarely been to a world where more than only a handful of languages survived historically. The societies that originated from the European continent achieved some success taking over large swats of this planet, but many other groups survived intact. Admiral Del Torro in fact spoke a language at home that was different from the one he heard while dealing with Starfleet called Spanish.
The Earth society that was most interesting were the ones called Chinese. they did not believe in a deity, they revered their ancestors, and some idolized an ancient human named Buddha that achieved some kind of inner peace through meditation that he called nirvana but none actually worshiped deities like the other societies of this world.

Brief Respite
The edifices of the skyscrapers of Meshera glittered in the distance on the coast 3 kilometers away. The senior officers of the starships Ibn Battuta and Gates of the Starfleet expedition to the Hirazi Coalition were relaxing on a boat of a local businessman throwing a birthday celebration for a local politician he has been friends with since grade school.
Brianna and Alex were sampling the great foods of this magnificent world. taste wise, its a cross between Earth's Chinese and Mediterranean cuisines. the blandness of some ingredients contrasted with the strong taste of the spices. the Hirazi party goers towered over the Starfleet officers, conversations are smooth thanks to the universal translators. they nevertheless managed to learn some Hirazi words and teach their hosts some English.
Hirazi politics aren't like politics of the Federation or it's neighbors. There's very little turmoil since unification; during the days of individual sovereign nation-states, they fought amongst themselves like everywhere else but not as vicious as some have been, especially in Earth history. Hirazi skin tones vary from purple to orange but hasn't been an issue in several millennia, before the reign of Althara yangi Thara.
The provinces of Zuo'Hiraz are the vestiges of the regional alliances of nation states which formed into political unions. The city of Meshera became an independent political union thousands of years ago as the capital city of the Alqoun nation-state and eventually the world government.
As the capital of the Hirazi Coalition, the expedition uses Ambassador Tariq's residence on Zuo'Hiraz as a base for staging and shore leave. Thousands of Gigabytes of data have been gathered in this region of space that would not have been acquired for decades until the natural expansion of the Starfleet's exploration of the galaxy.
T'Malya found the ambiance of Zuo'Hiraz interesting as much as a Vulcan could. The history of this world isnt as violent as the worlds she is familiar with which was provocative; she anticipated the essays and commentary on this once the expedition returns to Federation space.

A Night in the Musuem
By Adam Kriegel
A Night in the Museum
The History Museum of Alquon in the Imperial District of Meshera was the premiere museum of Zuo'Hiraz that had nearly six hundred thousand artifact from various regions of Zuo'Hiraz and the colony worlds. Captains Forrester and Johnston went there with Ambassador Tariq, a few specialists and the Hirazi liaison to the expedition Voldzigos Sangi Bobfisbow. a museum tour guide was showing them various items.
It had the usual monoliths, edifices, jewelry and stone tools, etc ubiquitous to every humanoid inhabited worlds. One statue was a city wall from a nearby site that had quartz of similar color to the Hirazi skin tone and eyes made of amethyst that rivaled the ancient Egyptian pharaoh masks of earth. it stood at nearly 4 meters, it was the likeness of a royal figure from an ancient kingdom that was one of the power players of this region of Zuo'Hiraz.
There were also fossils of various ancient fauna and flora that were as magnificent as the dinosaurs of Earth and the dongiwazeng of Canopus. one fossil was in fact two animals, a predator attacking it's pray that was buried by a flash flood. the predator, called a Jighishilt, a type of saber toothed cat, had it's mouth clamped on the neck of a Brizdebon, type of bull similar to an African Okapi. The region they were discovered in was a floodplain that frequently experienced flash flood even in the present time, the fossils were found a century ago after they were buried 50,000 years ago.
The museum operated open 27 hours a day, people from hundreds of worlds visit every day. the group enjoyed the excursion and saw many unique items. the musuem has two building of approximately sixty hundred square meters of space, one for the displays and the other for research and storage. Johnston particularly enjoyed the hominid displays as she expected and Forrester enjoyed the monoliths laden with epic poems, legal codes and propaganda messages glorifying the various kings that had them built.

this is a tribute to Michael Jackson written on the first anniversary of his death
Star Trek: Distant Shores
By Adam Kriegel
Victory of a King
Brianna Johnston's uncle Heng introduced her to the talent and magnificence of Michael Jackson and his brothers when she was in grade school and she has been listening to the audio recordings and interacting with him on the holodeck ever since. Every August 29th and June 25th she would spend a few hours on the holodeck either dancing with him or attending (by proxy at least) one of his many concerts in his 40 years long career. She has watched each and every musical event multiple times over the decades ever since she was young and he was her first crush. She would celebrated every August 29th and June 25th unless circumstances wouldn't allow it, in which case she'd celebrate the next day. Sometimes she wished that she had lived 400 years ago just for the chance of physically going to a Michael Jackson concert.
August 29th 2408 had been a special day for her, being the 450th anniversary of his birth, she arranged for shore leave that day and went home to Earth to spend the day with her uncle and watch Michael Jackson flat videos all day with him. That particular day happened to be June 25th 2409, the 400th anniversary of his death and she planned to spend it on the holodeck watching one of the Victory tour concerts on the holodeck which took place in the year 1984 through out the United States.
Being that she has been several thousand light years from Earth for the last few months made it so that she couldn't celebrate this day with her uncle so the victory tour concert would have to do. she chose the Los Angeles concert at Dodger's Stadium on December 8th, 1984. She sat in the middle area of the hall, far enough away from the stage to see it all and yet close enough to clearly see the Jacksons. there was also a giant screen above the stage, called at the time the jumbo-tron.
The concert started with the standard 'Wanabe startin something?" from the Thriller album. all his movements were precise and magical. the holographic crowd around her were cheering as loudly as they could. Michael and his brothers went through to the standards: 'the love you save', 'Beat it', 'human nature', 'this place hotel', 'billie jean', 'i want you back' and 'off the wall' among other songs.
She skipped the breaks and a couple of the songs she has not been very familiar with sang by Michael's brother Jermaine. The moonwalk was as amazing as the first one or the last one he performed a decade and a half later. the camaraderie he displayed with his brothers brought to the Victory tour(and previous tours with them) are not there in the future tours later in his career. This anniversary has been by far the best one she has celebrated, unfortunately though uncle Heng couldn't join her.
This concert was at the prime of Michael's physical and musical prowess. Brianna had almost an encyclopedic knowledge of details of his life as if she were the author of his biography. She loved Michael more if not more than the contemporary singers of the late 24th century. She barely listened to any current singers, of which she knew any details only due to her friends speaking of them. Michael has had few rivals before or sense across the whole of the Federation.
Once the concert finished, Brianna walked back to her quarters. Few people on the expedition or back home on Earth or Luna understood her allure with Michael Jackson except uncle Heng. Viewing the video records though of that time period whenever Michael went anywhere, the frenzy around him made sense to her.

[love this one too]
I found my artwork on others sites with the wrong name that linked back to this one.
I don't mind giving you my artwork, but I would like you to at least give me the proper credit though.
okay An-Gel, shall do
i had stopped working on this series but i've started back now
yes it is....until recently though i was pretty much planning out all the background material....aliens, characters, locations, etc...
now that i have most of it ready, i've finally started actually writing the stories. i've had to stop occasionally because life stuff kept interfering but i'm able to to focus on it pretty much full time finally (or close to it at least)
