Hi everybody, I was trying to do something different, today I will show you the first episode of Star Trek Mar del Plata, a 5 or 10 episode story set in the year 2390.
The story was uploaded to AO3 and Wattpad as well.

EDIT: Is easier to read on AO3, have this in mind before start reading.
Episode 1: Under the Surface.
Captain's Log, Stardate 67448:
This is our first mission after spending months conducting reconnaissance operations throughout Federation space since the crew was assigned to this vessel.
A crew of 298 individuals aboard a starship capable of bringing up to 400 lifeforms.
It is an honor to know that I am the only benzite captain selected to command an Argentum-class starship, the USS Mar del Plata. We now find ourselves fully prepared to begin the terraforming of a Class M planet.
The only person I know well is my first officer, Commander Antos, a bajoran with a multicultural outlook and personality—something I feel I can learn a great deal from. Unlike him, I possess a strong sense of patriotism toward my own species. Even so, I have come to appreciate the cultural differences that unite us within the Federation and Starfleet, not as barriers, but as strengths.
On the viewscreen, a frozen planet could be seen, its clouds so thick that it resembled a gray pearl suspended in space.
"Helmsman Stross, are we ready?"
"We are in position. Engineering team has already deployed the probes. All alignments are complete. We are ready to begin terraforming the planet," said the Klingon pilot, who also handled communications—two roles in one, a small distinction of Argentum-class starships.
"Confirmed," said the captain. "Doctor Carmen, are the planetary scans being monitored?"
"Yes. The science team and I are overseeing everything from Sickbay." Doctor Carmen replied through the intercom.
"Commander Antos, do the honors."
"Yes, sir."
The bajoran commander began pressing the controls beside his chair. Each one regulated a different variable: temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind patterns, precipitation, cloud cover, atmospheric composition. It was like playing god with the touch of a hand.
Slowly, the ice covering the planet's oceans began to melt.
The clouds accelerated to extraordinary speeds.
Rain appeared across different regions as the seas returned to a state they had not known for centuries.
The planet, which had resembled a small gray pearl, was now becoming a dark pearl.
Storms gave rise to hurricanes while the starship remained in absolute calm. The entire crew watched attentively. It was like witnessing the formation of Earth compressed into a matter of minutes.
The commander worked with the support of the entire science and engineering staff. If anything went wrong, it had to be reported immediately, but he was the one shaping the destiny of a world.
With calculated precision, he continued calibrating the planet.
The captain watched him, a faint smile forming on his face as he admired just how capable his first officer was.
After forty minutes, they decided to allow the remainder of the terraforming process to proceed naturally. For now, the mission was an undeniable success. The skies had cleared, the nearby star cast color across the atmosphere, the oceans reflected its light, and the continents were beginning to thaw.
The captain addressed the crew:
"What you have witnessed today is a remarkable achievement. This terraforming operation will be taught in Starfleet classrooms. It is an accomplishment worthy of celebration. I believe it deserves a round of applause."
Throughout the USS Mar del Plata, the crew rose to their feet and applauded.
But Helmsman Stross suddenly stopped and looked down at his console.
"Captain, we're receiving an incoming transmission."
"From a nearby vessel?"
"No... it's coming from the planet itself!"
The captain frowned in confusion. Commander Antos glanced toward him, equally puzzled.
The capta…
