"Captain Ackbar here." a loud voice responded me."Sir... I'm Nella.
Nella Enright." I feebly said. I knew he was skared to death, when I
left the ship, ... and after two years I was again communicating with
him.
"Liutenant... Nella!" he exclaimed. His eyes were wider then normal.
I slightly smiled, "Yes, captain. But I'm no more liutenant. You know I dismissed"
Ackbar
neared his hand to his mouth, "Enright... well, I forgot you face, you
know... but, tell me,... how are you? Why are you calling me"
I nodded, "I'm quite fine, my work is OK, but... It's William. William Smith..." as I left in suspense, Ackbar came on.
"Oh,
yes, Smith... I've never forgotten the way he looked at you, Nella...
he's red every time he meets your eyes." he continued, jokingly smiling.
"It's
a serious thing, captain. I've lost him." I said. He noticed I was
trembling. Ackbar looked at me deeply, and the embarassed amile
evanished from his lips.
"Explain me all." he said, pleasant.

As I closed the communication, I was glad that I
found a true friend in captain Ackbar. He sweared death to me, when I
left the Fleet, but now he was eager to help me.
I closed my eyes,
and rejected my tears. William... me was gone. While he was exploring
the west coast with a shuttle, it just... disappeared from our radars,
and from our view. Disappeared. Just disappeared.
Tears rolled over my cheeks. Professor Von Hibel entered the room, and neared me.
"Oh,
well, don't do this, don't lose your temper now, Nella!... I need you,
just when Will's leadership isn't here to help us... The Terminus
community needs you, we're all desperate"
I shed my teardrops, and
stood up. I walked to and fro for a while, then stopped walking and
stared at the professor's white shirt.
"Yes, it could help..." I
said, looking deeply. I rose my face to meet his eyes, "We'll name this
city. I say WE, because all the people in this base will do this. We
will do it TOGETHER"
Von Hibel smiled, slightly satisfied but doulbtful.

Captain Ackbar Personal Log - Recorded aboard USS Asimov-A
:computer begin registering:
I
scanned this galaxy for two weeks, but I found no sign of Ex-Cmdr
William Smith. That guy always made me think suspiciously. He was born
for command and leadership. His men loved him, and he gave his men all
what they needed.Then he met Nella Enright, a young SCI officer, that
came aboard my ship. Oh, this is not fact. This is my own opinion. He
fell in love, he no more reasoned, and then he left StarFleet. This can
be the only explaination. The only valid explaination.
Nella... she
decided to work on the Genesis project, then she said it was too
dangerous, and cancelled all the data about it. Damn! The Federation
was deeply interested in it, and ordered me to find that damned
scientist!... But she's a too clever fox, and, even if she contacted
me, I wasn't able to track her.
Now I'm here. I'm searching for an ex-member of the Fleet, who seems to be the only connection that I have with her.
That red-haired fox is driving me mad.
