 MacDonald Cloud Nebula:

 The entity had been dormant for over 2000 years. What disturbed its slumber
 will never be discovered, but the entity was beginning to stir.

 Once it was fully awake it discovered a feeling. A feeling that had
 originally caused its prolonged slumber. A feeling of utter despair and
 loneliness.

 It began to send out feelers in search of a being that could put an end to
 the feeling. It had done this 2000 years ago and had met with failure. After
 a few weeks of searching one such being was hurtling towards it as if
 destiny has deemed this to occur. The entity waited for the being's arrival.

 U.S.S. Coronado at Utopia Planitia:

 Jarod leaned back in his chair as he finished going over the reports coming
 from the recent Voyager problem.

 Voyager had been returned to its rightful place and the Mirror doubles had
 been transferred to Starfleet Security. Jarod hoped that someone would
 figure out what in the universe was going on with the sudden onslaught of
 Mirror Universe incursions into his own. The last reported contact with the
 Mirror Universe was about 20 odd years back during the Dominion War.

 He picked up another PADD and grinned at the report laid out on it. Doctor
 Barnes had finally made a return to active duty. Jarod made a mental note to
 have the Doctor in for a friendly meeting over a cup of coffee.

 Setting those reports aside, he picked up one that brought a rather large
 smile to his face. It was a readiness report on the wedding preparations. It
 wasn't everyday that a Starship Captain got to marry two members of his
 crew.

 Lieutenant Junior Grade T'Prax, his chief engineer, and Cadet Aurel Ian, one
 of his Tactical cadets, would be married in Engineering. A reception would
 be held in the Seventh Heaven lounge afterwards, with Mr. Dalton already
 preparing a huge feast and supposedly a cake like no other. Jarod hoped the
 event would settle some of the internal crew problems that he had been faced
 with the past few days.

 He set the wedding report aside and picked up the last PADD in his pile. It
 was a request from Mr. T'Prax. T'Prax was asking if the ship could be moved
 to a local nebula. He hoped that the nebula would provide a significant
 backdrop to the reception at Seventh Heaven. T'Prax didn't name any
 particular nebula so Jarod thought about it a moment and made a decision. He
 had to keep in mind that the nebula would need to be in the general
 direction of the ship's next assignment, which was out towards the bad
 lands.

 He reached over and opened a comm line to the bridge. "Bentall here, are all
 the wedding guests and supplies aboard?"

 "Aye, Captain" came back the voice of Ensign Daren.

 Jarod smiled at the efficiency of the crew. "Mr. Dejat, lay in a course for
 the MacDonald Cloud Nebula, Warp 2"

 "Course laid in, Captain," said Dejat over the comm line.

 Warp 2 would get them to the Nebula in two and a half days, which would give
 everyone a chance to get ready for the wedding.

 "Engage."
