The Shield

It's been two weeks now since I have taken over as captain of this new Star Ship vessel. Captain Will Riker was over whelmed for when he arrived with beaming up from Earth after his honeymoon with Deanna Troi. Finally after such a long time as close friends.

Currently the star ship was heading for Altair Four to pick up scientists to head back to Earth and give their general report of the ruins that was found deep inside a cavern that was dug out from the explosive team.

So Star Fleet Command decided to send The Shield with Will Riker as the new Captain to pick them up and bring them back to Earth for a conference.

Scientist Doctor Nuri Roft of Altair Four would bring along a number of artifacts that were found outside of the cavern. Even though he and the others think that some of them have special powers that can cause a disruption. And if this can happen while being on a star ship, a number of things can happen to The Shield.

Hopefully nothing will happen with Captain William Riker in command.

Riker was in his quarters getting ready to head for the bridge after having breakfast with his wife Deanna. She was happy to transfer over to the Shield after Captain Picard had given her the best with her new ship to serve.

Deanna was able to tell that he was worried about this mission with the scientists. She had read a report that there was trouble brewing in the system once again. Due to the fact that the scientists had found a number of artifacts having some type of magical powers.

She had told him for the most part to play it by ear at this point. Even though he was shaking his head at the idea. As she had to leave for duty in her department as a therapist.

Meanwhile Will Riker had to get to the bridge to take over for the new shift. And didn't want Lt. Solaris A Vulcan to stay any longer on the bridge since he's been on the star ship ever since it was commissioned.

All of the morning shift had arrived onto the bridge. Captain Will Riker arrived last walking onto a fully new design of the bridge with terminals that will keep anyone updated with the latest information happening.

"All right Lt. Solaris, your able to leave. " Riker says to the young Vulcan still learning the position. "He waited for the Vulcan to leave the bridge. "Ensign Hamels lets move out to head for Altair Four at warp eight to pick up the scientists." He ordered before moving over to Communications on his right of the chair. "Commander Elders and messages for me at all?"

The young woman had told him the board has been cleared. So he decided to head for his ready room on the side of Communications to relax with having his coffee and juice. While calling Star Fleet Command on his terminal to speak with Admiral Johnson new to running the department of assigning missions to each and every Star Ship.
