Summary / Premise:

The story is this: Beginning in 2150, by 'a twist of fate', two things occur differently from the normal Enterprise universe as we know it. First, as Jonathan Archer is given command of Enterprise, construction of the new Zephram Cochrane Advanced Warp Facility is completed in San Francisco, California to replace the aging Warp Five complex in Bozeman, Montana. The Research facility's mandate, above all else, is the continued advancement of warp flight through and beyond warp five. You might call it a warp six project, however, its mandate is not thus limited. As a former commanding officer of Lt. Commander Charles Tucker's, Captain Matthew Jeffries offers Tucker a position as senior warp specialist and Chief Engineer of the Zephram Cochrane Warp Facility. At the same time, Jonathan Archer offers Tucker a position as Chief Engineer and a promotion onto the Enterprise. Tucker begrudgingly accepts Jeffries' offer over Archer's since the position carries with it the opportunity to fulfill Tucker's lifelong dream of following in Cochrane's footsteps.

The second penultimate twist of fate to take its course as a result of the existence of this new facility is the assignment of a special advisor from the Vulcan Science Directorate. Normally the Vulcans would not be so eager to assist the human warp program, but Starfleet Command has insisted upon the employment of recently acquired technology from Vulcan negotiations in the warp testbed at the facility. The Vulcan High Command refuses to allow such volatile equipment to be used unsupervised by brash and impulsive humans. The Enterprise will continue on its journey without Trip and T'Pol, with other officers in their stead and to avoid any kinds of "well what about where Trip did ___ or T'Pol did ____ and it saved the ship?" we're just going to ignore that aspect for this little creative excursion. The setting is the warp facility, different areas on Earth at times, and possibly a crossover to involve the Enterprise. I will give general descriptions of a few main characters to begin with. Since many will be custom characters I'll describe some but also try to leave some to the imagination.

Note: Character list will be present in each installment, as a refresher and a quick reference.
