Part Two of Star Trek: Tesseract

In 2378, the crew of the USS Voyager delivered a devastating blow to the Borg Collective when they destroyed a key transwarp hub to the Alpha Quadrant, and the Borg unicomplex.  They hoped it would be the end of the Borg threat.  They were wrong.

Nearly eight years later, the crew of the USS Tesseract -- the first official Starfleet mission of exploration to the Delta Quadrant – has found a quadrant in ruins, torn apart by the Collective and a new, more terrifying kind of Borg -- the Borg Resistance.  They are free of the Collective, free of established protocols, without cohesion or unity, and operating under cloak.  Their new superweapon could put an end to warp society as the galaxy has known it – but it’s also the only thing standing between the Borg Collective and its ultimate goal of assimilating or destroying the entire United Federation of Planets.

Now, while the Federation and its tenuous allies prepare for a full-scale Borg invasion, the Tesseract crew -- alone in the Delta Quadrant -- must find a way to finish what Voyager started, and one young ex-Borg Starfleet officer must decide whether to embrace his destiny ... or boldly defy it.

Before they faced the Delta Quadrant, they had to conquer San Francisco.  The story of Icheb's, Maren O'Connor's and John Quigley's first year together at Starfleet Academy. 

Before you say 'I do', you need to get people to stand up for you. Damien finds out that that's not always so easy to do, when your fiancée is Klingon and some of your human friends find that ... odd.

What would have happened if everything had gone according to plan after Icheb decided to ask Maren to spend her life with him?

Here's a peek into an alternate universe where things went right.
