This is it, huh? The last Enterprise.
RANDOM ADMIRAL WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE IN CHARGE OF THINGS, MALE, HUMAN (ADMIRAL #2)
Take good care of her, sir.
BARCLAY
I'll try. You know, she'll be my third Enterprise. I just hope I won't be the one to lose her.

CMDR. S'ANRA
So explain to me how this communications system works.
LT. CMDR. SHIPLEY
Well, sir, it's very simple. When you say, for example, "S'anra to Shipley" or I say "Shipley to Barclay", et cetera, the computer will pick that up and automatically open a channel.
S'ANRA
I see. Automatic voice recognition.
SHIPLEY
Exactly. Each officer's voice patterns are coded into the computer. That's why you don't need a password or authorization code anymore. It's all done by voice. It can't be faked. Of course, you can also type in a manual access code.
S'ANRA
That is much more efficient than the communications system at Starfleet Academy. We had combadges.
SHIPLEY
Well, this is all really new technology. We still use communicators for away missions and so on.

O'BRIEN
Doctor Inda O'Brien, reporting for duty.
S'ANRA
Good morning, Lieutenant. If it is morning. Your quarters are on deck 11, I believe? Your shift on the bridge starts at 0800 hours.
O'BRIEN
Yes, sir.
CAMERA: zoom in on O'Brien's face: worried.
MUSIC: mild crescendo
O'BRIEN
Sir, if you have a minute, I wanted to talk to you about something.
S'ANRA
Of course. Commander, if you don't mind…?
SHIPLEY
I still have to look at the warp core, and the transporters. I'll see you on the bridge, sir. Doctor.

BARCLAY
She's beautiful.
ADMIRAL #2
She's all yours, sir. Your crew should be on board already. The first bridge shift begins in an hour.
BARCLAY
Thank you, Admiral.
ADMIRAL #2
Would you like to see your quarters, sir?
BARCLAY
No thanks, I think I'll stay here for a few minutes. You know…get the feel of the ship. My last two postings were desk jobs. I haven't been on a galaxy-class starship since I was forty-five. That's a long time.
ADMIRAL #2: smiles vaguely; has no sense of humor
ADMIRAL #2
Will that be all, sir?
BARCLAY
Yeah, I think so. You can get back to your job. Thanks a lot.
ADMIRAL #2: beams out

Speak of the devil! Commander S'anra!

Sir.
BARCLAY
The first shift doesn't begin until 0800 hours, commander.
S'ANRA
I'm aware of that, sir. But an officer just came to me to discuss a serious problem.
MUSIC: crescendo; dies down
THEME:
BARCLAY'S VOICE
Space. The last frontier we know of. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Her mission: to discover more worlds, to seek out more life and more civilizations, to keep to the Prime Directive at all times and in all situations, to go, boldly but cautiously (and still keeping to the Prime Directive, remember, that's very important), where and when very few Starfleet officers in this reality have gone before!
Off-mike
BARCLAY
Phew. I did that all in one breath.
MUSIC: very loud crescendo, theme music
