Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek, that unique pleasure belongs to Mr. Berman, and of course to the legendary Mr. Gene Roddenberry. If you ever heard it on TV. it's not mine, All I have is an overactive imagination, and a severe case of writers block. Please read and review, all reviews good and bad welcome.
These are the Voyages
Stardate: 55437.2
Captain's log, personal: It was absolutely breathtaking, my view of her as the shuttle approached. Unique, the first of her kind. The U.S.S. Riker the only Wyvern class starship in the fleet. 74 disruptor banks, 56 photon torpedo bays, primary , secondary, and emergency shields, a newly redesigned phase cloak, and the fastest trilithium engines ever developed. It would seem that the Pax Romulus was even more beneficial than even the federation council hoped. It is not just her armaments that make her so unique, her crew is a patchwork of races from throughout the Galaxy from Dr. Baliana of Vulcan to Chief of Engineering Kex of Bajor. Actually it is the addition of another of this strange crew that is the first stop on this mission, Commander K'eila of Qo'noS , my first officer . This promises to be a very interesting command.
"Attention on deck!!", says Lt. Killian,the security officer . "As you were" replies the Captain. "Sir , course laid in for Qo'noS, and await your command" this from Lt. Commander Masset. "I see that Starfleet has seen fit to give me a crew as eager for action as I am?" Says the Capt. ." Sir?" Says Masset with a look of bewilderment on his face. " It is a figure of speech commander," ensign Bates replies. "Apparently Cardassians have even less of a sense of humor than Klingon's do?" he adds under his breath. "Well it's a good thing we Romulans do have a sense of humor , or else you would find yourself in the brig ensign." Replied the captain. "Sorry sir, I meant no disrespect." "It is of little moment captain" said Masset, Bates and I are comrades, we served together on the "Valor" under Captain Laforge. "His humor is as dry now as it was then, no harm no foul." "As you like it commander, but know this ensign, I will brook no insubordination on my ship, nor will I permit my officers, senior, or junior to be either disrespected, or disrespectful." You could hear a pin drop there on the bridge. If this was a foreshadow of future things than this would indeed be an interesting tour of duty.
Sir? Asks lt. Lee, the ship is ready. Engage the impulse engines take us out of space dock . "We are ready to engage the warp engines sir" Make it so Mr. Bates, says Cpt. Sisko . "Take us to Qo'noS."
