The Enterprise Manifestations Explained

We now know where all of these manifested people, creatures, plants and objects -- that appeared aboard the Enterprise-D -- came from…

Earlier today, three manifestations – iconic American President George Washington, Earth baseball Hall of Famer, Buck Bokai, and 2260s Starfleet officer, Captain James T. Kirk – requested a meeting with the Enterprise-D senior staff. These historic individuals were temporarily inhabited by “non-corporeal” alien entities for this meeting. These alien entities, using the bodies of these three individuals as avatars (in order to communicate), informed our senior staff that they are peaceful, spirit-like explorers that live in the space between alternate realities. They became aware of the USS Enterprise-D, and our crew, when we first crossed between alternate timelines, courtesy of the Devron Anomaly (which these entities were also investigating at the time). Apparently, we, aboard the Enterprise-D, have crossed realities at least half a dozen times since then, and these aliens were observing us each time. They wanted to make first contact with us, but did not have the means to do so… until this past week.

During their continued observation, these entities discovered that the unique plasma field surrounding the Bajoran Wormhole finally allowed them to communicate with us. So, to better understand our way of thinking – particularly as a result of our creative imaginations, and to prepare for the most optimal means of contact, they used their ability to cross realities, and relocated the people, creatures, plants and objects -- that we imagined – from other timelines and realities into our own. In other words, these “manifestations” are real, because they come from different realities, most of which are very similar to our present timeline.

These “manifestations” are not figments of our imagination. They are flesh and blood, just as we are. And, while they are here, aboard the Enterprise-D, they are missing in their original realities.

Unfortunately, our alien explorers soon discovered, much to their dismay, that these “manifestations” aboard the Enterprise-D, cannot be returned to where they came from. The unusual nature of the wormhole plasma field does not allow it. In addition, our “manifestation” guests can only exist within the immediate vicinity of the Bajoran Wormhole. If any of them try to leave the wormhole coordinates, they will disappear, and cease to exist -- in any reality.

Our alien entity visitors chose to make contact today, and explain the unforeseen nature of their first contact preparations, before any further cross-reality damage was done. Their intentions were to return our “manifestations” to their original realities, only now, they are forced to either leave them here, with us, or remove them from existence. These spirit entities do not wish to cause harm or death, so discussions are underway regarding the continued existence of all sentient “manifestations”, here, somehow, near the Bajoran Wormhole.

A final verdict remains outstanding, however, it is very likely that our manifested guests will remain with us a while longer, at least until we can provide them with a suitable home.
