Altered Consequences (ST:BH)

Altered Consequensces is a story written about the USS Shiloh, which was originally part of the Star Trek: Shiloh Fan Fiction Website but now is part of the Star Trek: Black Hawk Fan Fiction Website. This story actually combines two stories, The original Altered Consequences and Quantum Filliment, is presented and published in Stellar Visions, Volume 3 as one story.

Taking place toward the end of the Dominion War, the story opens with the Shiloh arriving at Starbase 2114 to allow Captain Higdon to present a plan to retake Omega Zeta V and Deep Space 3 from the Cardassians and the Dominion. During this Higdon is promoted to Admiral by Starfleet ("We can't have a Captain in command of such of important mission, can we? Besides, this isn't a Democracy - we are at war and we need to place you where you are need most." - The Fleet Admiral of the United Federation of Planets Richard J. April) with the proviso that he will keep command of the Shiloh, which will serve as the flagship of the operations.

The story then switches to 2245 as the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), under the Command of Robert April, is rushing to a disaster signal from Omega Zeta V where a planetary catastraphy has happened and the planet is to be evacuated. All the sudden things go black as the Enterprise hits a quantum filliment which affects the warp core of that ship differently. The story returns to the 23rd Century where the time strea is greatly altered. There is no Dominion War and Captain Higdon as well as his crew are on the Intrepid Class Starship USS Enterprise (NCC-74683) on their way to Omega Zeta V for comemoration and Memorial services for the 2245 disaster which lead to the of 60 Million lives on Omega Zeta V and the loss of one Federation Starship - the Enterprise. Also there are several inter-personal changes as well, most glaring that Captain Higdon is not married to his First officer but to someone else on the crew. All the sudden the Enterprise-1701 emerges from a time rift and almost colides with the Enterprise-74683. Enterprise-74683 mounts a rescue attempt and then attempt to send the Enterprise-1701 after Captain Higdon suddenly is endowed with memories from the real timeline. After the the Enterprise-1701 is sent back, time resumes it's shape, except Admiral Higdon still remembers the alternate timeline and learns of the consequenses of his actions of sending the Enterprise back to complete it's mission - is the death of Higdon's "wife" from the other timeline. This story in it's combined form is the longest of the written stories of the Shiloh so far.
