00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:04.519
Hello, my name is Jeff Welch. I am the writer,

00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:08.339
creator, director, producer of Starship Resilience.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.400
The work on this project began in January of

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.039
2023 when my wife challenged me to write a novel.

00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:20.219
Over the next four to five months, I undertook

00:00:20.219 --> 00:00:23.920
the project of writing what has become Starship

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.920
Resilience. When I was finished and edited, I

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.820
began the process of Reaching out to an agent

00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:38.640
to possibly sell this book but after time that

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.200
became less and less of a dream and Starship

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.399
resilience essentially sat on a shelf After I

00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.780
was unable to find representation to sell my

00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:53.799
book my wife challenged me to turn this into

00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.320
a fan production Star Trek audio drama like many

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.039
of the others that you find on your podcast apps

00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:08.819
after several months of rewrites and eventually

00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:14.219
casting, and with the help of a very, very talented

00:01:14.219 --> 00:01:19.840
group of individuals who have brought to life

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.719
the characters that have lived in my head for

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:29.379
two years. It's been an honor so far working

00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:35.120
with them and seeing what they have done to interpret

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.840
the characters for me in new and surprising ways.

00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.680
So I'd like to take a moment before we begin

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:50.540
to thank my cast of incredible characters that

00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:56.260
have brought my characters to life. I'd like

00:01:56.260 --> 00:02:01.819
to thank Marissa for believing in the book that

00:02:01.819 --> 00:02:05.980
was Starship Resilience and giving me encouragement

00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:10.759
and hope. I'd also like to thank Kate for her

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:16.180
help with editing the original novel and the

00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:20.460
Herculean task that was. I'd like to thank my

00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:24.560
family for their encouragement. Most of all,

00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:26.479
I'd like to thank my number one cheerleader,

00:02:27.740 --> 00:02:33.860
the love of my life. my wife Amy. With your encouragement

00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:39.280
and Imzadi, this project has come to life. And

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.879
now without further ado, please enjoy Starship

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.479
Resilience, Hero Worship, Episode 1. You are

00:02:47.479 --> 00:03:00.060
hereby requested and required. And I got in trouble.

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:42.219
Good trouble. Necessary trouble. Personal log,

00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:48.560
Stardate 212 -530 .87. This is my first entry

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.780
as a captain. It was made official this afternoon,

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.659
with the help of Captain Pardok. Along with the

00:03:55.659 --> 00:03:58.099
promotion, I've received orders to report to

00:03:58.099 --> 00:04:00.639
the USS Resilience to replace their retiring

00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:05.000
captain. After a thorough review of the ship's

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.400
crew manifest, I have determined that Lieutenant

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.840
Commander Ch'rega Doth would be the most capable

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.020
First Officer candidate. The ship's former executive

00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:16.560
officer was recently promoted to her own ship,

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.439
so bringing in someone new at this point might

00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.339
disrupt the harmony of the crew. Commander Doth

00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:24.420
has been with the ship since it launched and

00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:26.639
has been the Chief of Operations for the last

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.680
several years. Another position in need of filling

00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.660
is Chief Helm Officer. I spoke to Captain Pardok

00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:37.240
and he's given me his blessing to ask Lieutenant

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:41.579
Colt to join me. She's a capable pilot and a

00:04:41.579 --> 00:04:45.959
fine officer. I think she's due for a new challenge.

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.600
There are a few more key roles I need to look

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.860
at, but I think I should be able to get these

00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:54.980
filled in the next two days before I disembark.

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.560
Computer, pause recording. Recording paused.

00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.060
Moore here. Go ahead. Sorry to bother you, Commander.

00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:13.379
I mean, Captain. There's a Priority 1 message

00:05:13.379 --> 00:05:15.620
for you from Starfleet Command. Admiral Kilgallon

00:05:15.620 --> 00:05:18.199
is on the line. Are you sure it's for me, Lieutenant?

00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:21.779
I just got promoted a few hours ago. I verified

00:05:21.779 --> 00:05:23.899
the messages encoded for your eyes only, Captain

00:05:23.899 --> 00:05:28.060
Moore. Very well. Go ahead and route it through

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:32.420
to my quarters. Moore out. Ah, Captain Moore.

00:05:32.910 --> 00:05:36.470
That new pip looks good on your collar. Thank

00:05:36.470 --> 00:05:38.589
you, Admiral. Captain Pardok said you got the

00:05:38.589 --> 00:05:40.750
promotion and the transfer orders pushed through.

00:05:41.189 --> 00:05:43.149
I may have helped with a word here and a push

00:05:43.149 --> 00:05:48.750
there. But you, you earned it, Nick. Well, thank

00:05:48.750 --> 00:05:51.910
you, sir. I can't wait to get started. That's

00:05:51.910 --> 00:05:54.350
good to hear, Captain. But before you take off

00:05:54.350 --> 00:05:56.990
for the resilience, I do have a mission for you.

00:05:57.230 --> 00:06:00.209
This is a priority one mission and I have a vessel

00:06:00.209 --> 00:06:02.389
en route to intercept the intrepid with more

00:06:02.389 --> 00:06:05.410
information for you This is only to be shared

00:06:05.410 --> 00:06:08.829
on a need -to -know basis captain or higher Before

00:06:08.829 --> 00:06:10.689
you brief your senior staff about the mission.

00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:16.389
Am I clear? Yes, Admiral crystal clear Good Good

00:06:16.389 --> 00:06:19.170
good. I knew I could count on you Nick. I know

00:06:19.170 --> 00:06:26.769
you won't let me down kill gallon out Space the

00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:31.110
final frontier. These are the voyages of the

00:06:31.110 --> 00:06:34.829
Starship Resilience. Our mission? To explore

00:06:34.829 --> 00:06:38.170
new mysteries and new horizons. To seek out new

00:06:38.170 --> 00:06:42.050
friends and new wonders. To stand firm against

00:06:42.050 --> 00:07:35.519
whatever the universe throws at us. Shuttlecraft

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.839
to Resilience. This is Resilience. Go ahead,

00:07:38.980 --> 00:07:41.860
Shuttlecraft. Resilience, we are estimating 15

00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:44.399
minutes to rendezvous. Confirmed, Shuttlecraft.

00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:46.980
We are seeing you on our sensors and concur.

00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.980
Safe travels and we'll see you soon. Roger, Resilience.

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.800
Shuttlecraft out. Are we there yet? You're an

00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:00.399
ass. Sir. Are you still looking forward to the

00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.560
adventure? Actually... I've been thinking about

00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.139
dropping you off and heading back to the Intrepid.

00:08:06.420 --> 00:08:08.779
With you gone, I head there's an opening for

00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:11.339
a First Officer. I'm sure Captain Paddock would

00:08:11.339 --> 00:08:15.720
consider me. Besides, how hard can it be? You

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.459
held the position for nine years. Is that so?

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:22.000
Well, I guess I better do better at the job of

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.860
captain so you don't try to take that position

00:08:23.860 --> 00:08:28.379
from me too. Nah, I'd rather watch you make the

00:08:28.379 --> 00:08:31.019
mistakes so I can see what not to do when I get

00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:34.000
the ship of my own. What are you reading back

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.519
there? I was just going over the crew manifest

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.220
for the resilience again. Anything interesting?

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:43.100
Well, I noticed they've been in space for five

00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:45.259
years and haven't had a ship's counselor the

00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:47.879
whole time. Just thought it was a little odd.

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:50.759
You're right. I don't know what I would have

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.320
done without counselor Tamir. She helped me through

00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.919
a lot of things. Tamir has helped me with a few

00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.980
things too. Can't imagine going that long in

00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:01.840
deep space without a ship's counselor. I hope

00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.200
you got someone as good as Tamir. Well, I think

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.820
you'll be happy. Tamir helped me find someone

00:09:07.820 --> 00:09:10.679
that she had mentored personally. So she's got

00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.059
solid credentials and a good head on her shoulders.

00:09:13.659 --> 00:09:17.120
I'm glad you got advice from Tamir. Hey, now

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.419
I know when to ask for help. How many spots did

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:23.980
you have to fill? Well, let's see. Aside from

00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:26.200
the ship's counselor, you're taking over at the

00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.490
helm. Because you won the best at the helm. Right,

00:09:31.289 --> 00:09:33.669
exactly. Actually, Captain Pardoch paid me four

00:09:33.669 --> 00:09:37.210
strips of latinum to take you with me. How rude!

00:09:37.649 --> 00:09:40.350
Only four strips? Don't be so insulting, Nick.

00:09:40.750 --> 00:09:43.090
I am at least a twenty bars of latinum type of

00:09:43.090 --> 00:09:46.909
pilot. Sure, Mia. I also had to fill the ops

00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:49.669
position. Captain Pardoch is friends with the

00:09:49.669 --> 00:09:52.769
captain on the USS Schran. He has a Ferengi officer

00:09:52.769 --> 00:09:55.710
that it seems as if he can almost hear if something's

00:09:55.710 --> 00:09:58.409
going wrong with the ship. Oh, cool. I look forward

00:09:58.409 --> 00:10:01.980
to working with him. So, that's all you had to

00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:05.659
replace? Thankfully, yes. You're replacing the

00:10:05.659 --> 00:10:08.019
helmsman, who went with their first officer to

00:10:08.019 --> 00:10:11.139
the Cure in Eris. I have Gazid coming in to replace

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:13.899
the Ops Officer, who is becoming your new boss.

00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.879
Oh yeah, she's the Klingon. What was her name

00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:24.740
again? I should know this. Oh shoot, I forgot.

00:10:25.259 --> 00:10:28.700
Chirrega Doth. That's right. Her file looks really

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:31.320
good. She's got a solid record, and I think she'll

00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.159
be a good complement to my command style. Okay.

00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:40.000
I heard that. So, everyone else is staying in

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.679
the positions? For now, yes. The Chief of Security

00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.399
is a young Cation officer. He was recently promoted

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.460
to head of security about six months ago, after

00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:52.080
their previous chief went to the USS Navalny

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.899
to be their first officer. I hear that's a nice

00:10:54.899 --> 00:10:57.330
ship. That's another universe class just like

00:10:57.330 --> 00:10:59.990
the Enterprise. Who else is on this new stuff?

00:11:00.590 --> 00:11:02.889
This is the odd part. Three of the spots are

00:11:02.889 --> 00:11:05.210
filled by people who served on the Maelstrom.

00:11:05.610 --> 00:11:08.710
That's your old ship, right? Right. The first

00:11:08.710 --> 00:11:11.129
one I had right out of the Academy. The science

00:11:11.129 --> 00:11:13.610
officer is Yura Jokov. He got there fresh out

00:11:13.610 --> 00:11:16.250
of the Academy shortly after I left for the Wellington.

00:11:16.590 --> 00:11:20.049
But the chief medical officer, Dr. Narlin, and

00:11:20.049 --> 00:11:22.710
the chief engineer, Commander Strahn, were all

00:11:22.710 --> 00:11:24.850
lieutenants on the Maelstrom when I was there.

00:11:24.970 --> 00:11:27.509
Even Captain Colon was the chief of security.

00:11:28.090 --> 00:11:30.789
It's just weird to see people that I served with

00:11:30.789 --> 00:11:33.269
when I was in Ensign who have not retired or

00:11:33.269 --> 00:11:35.450
are still at the division head level. They were

00:11:35.450 --> 00:11:37.850
all top in their fields. I figure they'd all

00:11:37.850 --> 00:11:40.570
have made the admiralty by now. Maybe they got

00:11:40.570 --> 00:11:43.509
as far as they wanted to go. I guess. It just

00:11:43.509 --> 00:11:47.990
seems strange. Hey, Nick. She's coming into view.

00:11:52.570 --> 00:11:56.600
Isn't she a beauty? She's a Drexel -class ship,

00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.220
just like the Intrepid, sir. They look exactly

00:11:59.220 --> 00:12:02.159
alike. There are subtle differences that a ship's

00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:05.120
captain would notice. What differences? You've

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.240
been a captain for two days, and you haven't

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.960
even taken command yet. Let alone stepped foot

00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:17.580
on the ship. Sir? Yes, Lieutenant? I know I already

00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:21.740
said it. I really appreciate the opportunity

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:25.899
you've given me. This means a lot to me. You

00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:30.580
have no idea. And when I told my parents, my

00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:34.539
mom nearly paused. Is that a good thing? It sounds

00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:39.840
messy. It's a good thing. Huge. I'll take your

00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.720
word for it, Lieutenant. What I'm trying to say

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.100
is, thank you for giving me the chance to serve

00:12:46.100 --> 00:12:49.860
with you on the resilience. I won't let you down.

00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:53.480
You're one hell of a good pilot, Mia. and a damn

00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.700
fine officer. Honestly, I would have spent more

00:12:57.700 --> 00:13:00.279
than 20 bars for your skills at the helm. Any

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.580
captain in the fleet would love to have an officer

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:06.159
half as skilled at you piloting their ship. In

00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:11.940
other words, you're welcome. USS Resilience to

00:13:11.940 --> 00:13:17.759
shuttlecraft. Shuttle here. Go ahead, Resilience.

00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.620
Slow to one quarter impulse and adjust your course

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:23.580
to main shuttle bay. Prepare for tractor beam.

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.080
Roger, Resilience. Verify the security team will

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.000
be there for the package. Resilience, please

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.460
confirm a security team will meet us in the shuttle

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:35.980
bay. Confirmed, shuttle. A security team will

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:39.379
be standing by. Roger, Resilience. Slowing to

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:41.860
one quarter impulse and adjusting approach to

00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:44.600
main shuttle bay. Confirmed, and welcome to the

00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.539
Resilience. Acknowledged, Resilience. Shuttle

00:13:47.539 --> 00:13:50.720
out. When are you going to tell me what's in

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.899
that thing? That is a conversation for another

00:13:53.899 --> 00:14:15.000
time lieutenant Computer mirrors The welcoming

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.620
committee is waiting do you need more time would

00:14:18.620 --> 00:14:22.529
you two like to be alone computer Cancel mirror.

00:14:27.370 --> 00:14:30.269
Permission to come aboard. Granted, Captain Moore.

00:14:30.649 --> 00:14:33.289
Welcome to the Resilience. Thank you. You must

00:14:33.289 --> 00:14:36.750
be Commander Cheragadov. Yes, sir. Captain Colon

00:14:36.750 --> 00:14:39.789
sends his regards. He says he will see you at

00:14:39.789 --> 00:14:42.990
the ceremony tomorrow. This is Enzyne Nemolo.

00:14:43.970 --> 00:14:48.409
May I present Lieutenant Mia Colt. And you are?

00:14:49.309 --> 00:14:52.429
Lieutenant Yabari. Asuka Yabari, where's the

00:14:52.429 --> 00:14:55.850
security detail you requested? Ah, yes. The box

00:14:55.850 --> 00:14:58.070
you're looking for is still on the shuttle. Very

00:14:58.070 --> 00:15:04.149
good, sir. Thank you. Let's go, team. Lieutenant,

00:15:04.570 --> 00:15:06.370
if you go with the enzyme, he will be showing

00:15:06.370 --> 00:15:09.509
you to your quarters. Okay. Thank you, Commenda.

00:15:14.529 --> 00:15:17.970
If you would, please place your palm here, Captain.

00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.500
Cargo container 216, received and transferred

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:28.299
to USS Resilience. Thank you, sir. The container

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:31.159
will be in cargo bay three. Thank you, Lieutenant.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.279
I'll stop by and check on it later. Sorry about

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.179
that. Where were we? If you come with me, Captain,

00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.539
I can show you to the guest quarters. Lead on,

00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:48.700
Commander. Is this your first time aboard the

00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:52.039
Resilience, sir? Yes, it is. But the Intrepid's

00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.039
the same class, so I'm pretty familiar with the

00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.139
layout. And yourself? How long have you served

00:15:57.139 --> 00:16:00.399
on the ship? Five years now. I was part of the

00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.559
initial crew. Been in operations that whole time?

00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.860
Yes. I've been Chief Operations Officer for three

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:22.019
years now. Deck 4, Section J. Honor can be obtained

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:24.399
through performance of one's duty and service

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:29.379
to their shipmates. I believe that was Kraydol

00:16:29.379 --> 00:16:34.460
Null of the second dynasty. It was actually the

00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:37.919
third dynasty? Although, I must admit I've never

00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.820
heard a human quote Kraydral the soulless. You

00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:43.940
probably won't believe me, but I dated a girl

00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:46.899
who was really into Klingon culture. She was

00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:52.809
particularly fond of Gach. A human female? Ironically,

00:16:52.850 --> 00:16:57.029
yes. I don't remember how she got involved, but

00:16:57.029 --> 00:16:59.529
she was obsessed to the point that when we broke

00:16:59.529 --> 00:17:02.330
up, she told me that I was, quote, without honor.

00:17:03.070 --> 00:17:12.710
It really hurt. Just down here to the left, sir.

00:17:13.829 --> 00:17:15.509
You understand that your permanent quarters will

00:17:15.509 --> 00:17:18.569
not be available for a day or two. Oh, I completely

00:17:18.569 --> 00:17:21.490
understand. It's still Captain Colon's ship until

00:17:21.490 --> 00:17:24.150
tomorrow afternoon, so no reason for him to be

00:17:24.150 --> 00:17:32.210
kicked out of his home until he's ready. Has

00:17:32.210 --> 00:17:34.309
Captain Colon mentioned what he plans to do with

00:17:34.309 --> 00:17:37.789
his retirement? Hmm. Last I heard, he was going

00:17:37.789 --> 00:17:40.450
to return to Teller Prime for a season. I'm not

00:17:40.450 --> 00:17:44.670
sure beyond that. Good for him. Here to join

00:17:44.670 --> 00:17:48.480
me, Commander? Have a seat. At ease, Commander,

00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.940
please. I am at ease. I notice you're still wearing

00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:55.140
the gold uniform with the Lieutenant Commander's

00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:57.539
rank. I've confirmed with Starfleet that your

00:17:57.539 --> 00:18:01.180
promotion has gone through. Captain Coulomb believes

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:03.160
it would be inappropriate for me to assume my

00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.559
new rank until things are official tomorrow afternoon.

00:18:06.099 --> 00:18:08.119
Even though our previous First Officer has moved

00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.140
onto another ship, he's told me to wait until

00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:13.980
you're in command. Well, to say I'm not confused

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:17.599
would be a lie, but I do understand. Again, it's

00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:20.420
his ship and he wants things to remain the same

00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:24.079
until the very end. I was reviewing the crew

00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:27.400
manifest en route and noticed things are essentially

00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.480
going to be the same around here. Security, medical,

00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:33.619
engineering, science are all continuing on unchanged.

00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.019
The only positions which are going to be different

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:39.819
are the helm, operations, ship's counselor, and

00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:42.140
first officer. That really won't make much of

00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:44.359
a difference since you're already a senior officer.

00:18:45.609 --> 00:18:49.069
Out of curiosity, has the operations officer

00:18:49.069 --> 00:18:52.109
and ship's counselor arrived yet? Lieutenant

00:18:52.109 --> 00:18:55.430
Gossig arrived this morning. He was at the operations

00:18:55.430 --> 00:18:57.829
station when you arrived, and has already begun

00:18:57.829 --> 00:19:00.309
to familiarize himself with the operations staff.

00:19:01.109 --> 00:19:02.930
Lieutenant Devel is due to arrive late tomorrow

00:19:02.930 --> 00:19:05.390
morning, but in plenty of time for the command

00:19:05.390 --> 00:19:08.390
transfer ceremony. Excellent. Everything's coming

00:19:08.390 --> 00:19:13.390
together nicely. Yes, sir. Sir, may I ask you

00:19:13.390 --> 00:19:19.589
a question? Please, fire away. This is your first

00:19:19.589 --> 00:19:23.369
command, correct? Yes, it is. Why do you ask?

00:19:25.069 --> 00:19:27.789
Why have you chosen me to be your first officer?

00:19:29.509 --> 00:19:31.910
That's a very legitimate question, Commander.

00:19:32.690 --> 00:19:35.869
Well, the obvious answer is your familiarity

00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:39.390
with the ship and her crew. Being the new kid

00:19:39.390 --> 00:19:41.730
on the block could put a captain at a disadvantage.

00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.839
Whereas, replacing all the senior staff is not

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.220
fair to the crew. They'd end up having to learn

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:50.980
a completely new system for navigating internal

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:54.619
politics, just to get their work done. Once I

00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:56.299
heard I was being promoted to the Resilience,

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.400
I downloaded the crew manifest. As most ships

00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.299
go, the Resilience has a very solid crew. Helm

00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:05.359
Officer and Ship's Counselor were areas I knew

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.700
we needed fresh blood, since those positions

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:10.279
were vacant. And once I heard your First Officer

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:12.460
had been offered her own command, I looked to

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:15.160
the senior staff to see who would be a good fit.

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.700
Just between you and me, don't say anything to

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:20.900
Lieutenant Colt. She seems to think I'm going

00:20:20.900 --> 00:20:24.900
to make her my executive officer. Seriously though,

00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:27.279
Commander, your record impressed me. You have

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.279
a solid work ethic, and it seems as though the

00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.319
crew and Captain Colon think very highly of you.

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:37.279
It would appear the only black mark I could find

00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.359
was the time that you and Captain Colon got into

00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:43.619
an argument over how to proceed in a tense situation

00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:46.220
on the bridge. I can't really hold that against

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:48.599
you, especially since it's the mark of a good

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.240
first officer. So, feel free to question me.

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:57.079
You may regret that, sir. You know, I certainly

00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.880
hope so. The command transfer ceremony is tomorrow

00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:06.529
at 1400 hours at Tony's. Tony's? Oh, sorry. The

00:21:06.529 --> 00:21:10.170
lounge. Captain Colin is fascinated with Earth

00:21:10.170 --> 00:21:13.029
culture. A friend of his created a program for

00:21:13.029 --> 00:21:16.170
him with a self -aware hologram named Tony. Oh,

00:21:16.170 --> 00:21:19.410
interesting. And the intrepid Captain Pardoch

00:21:19.410 --> 00:21:22.049
just had that space retrofitted into an actual

00:21:22.049 --> 00:21:25.170
lounge area. I have to say I'm a little curious

00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:27.990
now about the holographic lounge. I may have

00:21:27.990 --> 00:21:30.809
to check it out. Should I let them know you may

00:21:30.809 --> 00:21:34.609
stop by? No, I think it'll just be a casual visit.

00:21:34.769 --> 00:21:37.769
Perhaps a little light reconnaissance. Very well.

00:21:38.210 --> 00:21:53.170
Good night, sir. Captain's personal log. Stardate

00:21:53.170 --> 00:21:58.349
212585 .97. I have arrived at my new posting.

00:21:58.690 --> 00:22:03.359
The Drexler Class USS Resilience. So far, things

00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.839
have been very uneventful. Sometimes it's good

00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.720
to fly under the sensor net and try to avoid

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:13.619
detection. I met with Commander Chirrega. She

00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:16.619
appears to be a very interesting person. She's

00:22:16.619 --> 00:22:19.440
got the talent. I think she'll be a good complement

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.400
to my skills. My hope is that I can command this

00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.599
ship with half the talent that Captain Pardoch

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.259
showed. We'll have epic adventures that'll put

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:31.559
us in the history books. Traeger recommended

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:34.519
the ship's version of the Lounge. It's run by

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.680
a self -aware hologram named Tony. It might be

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:39.920
time to slip into something a little more civilian

00:22:39.920 --> 00:23:17.839
and walk among the troops. Welcome to Tony's.

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.619
How can I help you? Yeah, hi. I'll have a mug

00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:38.039
of warna. Absolutely. He may show what outward

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.609
courage he will. But I believe, as cold a night

00:23:41.609 --> 00:23:45.230
as Tis, he could wish himself in terms up to

00:23:45.230 --> 00:23:48.250
the neck, and so I would he were an eye by him

00:23:48.250 --> 00:23:53.650
at all adventures, so we were quit here. Ay,

00:23:53.710 --> 00:23:56.349
my trough, I will speak my conscience of the

00:23:56.349 --> 00:23:59.150
king. I think he would not wish himself anywhere

00:23:59.150 --> 00:24:03.910
but where he is. Then I would he were here alone.

00:24:04.140 --> 00:24:07.640
So should he be sure to be ransomed and her many

00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:15.539
poor men's lives saved. Tony's my name. Figured

00:24:15.539 --> 00:24:17.519
I should introduce myself since you're going

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:21.599
to be my new landlord. I'm guessing you know

00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:25.359
who I am. Did someone point me out to you? My

00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:28.700
lord, the king isn't wearing that good a disguise.

00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:32.400
Besides, I'm connected to the main computer.

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:36.079
As long as it's not classified, I'm privy to

00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:42.940
it. I will keep that in mind. It's quite a place

00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:48.640
you have here. Thank you, sir. Tuesday, Sports

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:53.220
Bar Night. Always a crew favorite. But what other

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:56.839
kind of programs do you run? If I told you, it

00:24:56.839 --> 00:24:59.259
would spoil the fun of seeing them for the first

00:24:59.259 --> 00:25:03.319
time. And don't worry, nothing crazy. Although,

00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.220
I was thinking tomorrow night would be Klingon

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:15.900
blood sports and tag fighting night. You're all

00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:18.279
right, Captain. The ship is going to be well

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.180
cared for. Thanks for the vote of confidence,

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.440
Tony. But I haven't even taken command yet. Let's

00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:26.539
give it a couple of weeks and see what happens.

00:25:28.859 --> 00:25:32.200
I thought I saw you sneak in, Nick. Oh, hey Mia.

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:35.480
Saw you over there with a group of people. Who

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:39.019
are they? Well, now that I'm a department head,

00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:43.039
they would be my department. You can't have one

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:45.319
without the other. Yeah, that's usually how it

00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.539
works. You seem to be having a good time. I'm

00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:54.420
having a great time. But I am a woman on a mission.

00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.769
Barkeep! Her red hair burns like the rays of

00:25:59.769 --> 00:26:04.609
the sun. I see her and I am lit. For she is beautiful

00:26:04.609 --> 00:26:08.869
beyond compare. The girl with the blue eyes and

00:26:08.869 --> 00:26:14.170
fire for hair. Well, aren't you just a sweet

00:26:14.170 --> 00:26:17.349
talker? A little round for my posse, if you don't

00:26:17.349 --> 00:26:28.829
mind? Anything for you, my dear. He's cute for

00:26:28.829 --> 00:26:32.829
a bartender. You do know he's a computer program,

00:26:32.829 --> 00:26:37.410
right? Pish. Just so you're aware, you are on

00:26:37.410 --> 00:26:40.650
Alpha Shift tomorrow morning. Why, are you such

00:26:40.650 --> 00:26:44.630
a buzzkill, Nick? Eh, it comes with the fourth

00:26:44.630 --> 00:26:49.049
pip. Nuh -uh. You were a buzzkill with only three

00:26:49.049 --> 00:26:53.269
pips. Ooh, ouch. So what are you finding out

00:26:53.269 --> 00:26:56.640
about your team? They have some pretty impressive

00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.079
credentials. Three of them are former members

00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:01.539
of Nova Squad like me. It's good to know in a

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:07.019
pinch. What else? The last department head was

00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:10.900
not only tapped by the first officer to go to

00:27:10.900 --> 00:27:15.240
the USS Kiran Reis to be the first officer, but

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.500
apparently they were a not -so -secret relationship.

00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:24.619
Really? Uh -huh. Juicy, right? That is juicy.

00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.440
Well, I hope it works out for them. Ugh, here

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.339
we go again. See, officers should never be in

00:27:34.339 --> 00:27:36.940
relationship with crewmember as they command.

00:27:38.420 --> 00:27:40.779
Like it or not, it is in the Starfleet regulation.

00:27:42.059 --> 00:27:46.500
Blah, blah, blah. And it's a good personal policy.

00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:52.000
Whatever. But... Don't you ever just get tired

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.559
of reading about things? Not if it means jeopardizing

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.660
my command, or my relationship with a trusted

00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:09.359
friend and officer. Damn, you are so lame. Here

00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:13.059
are your drinks left in the colt. Oh yeah, I

00:28:13.059 --> 00:28:16.839
almost forgot. Careful, don't spill those. I

00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:20.539
won't, mom. Don't stay on it too late. I won't,

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:23.279
Dad. Bet you two strips of Latinum you're late

00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.599
for your shift from the bridge tomorrow. You're

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:32.720
on. Well, she's a real firecracker. Donnie, you

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:36.799
don't know the half of it. By the way, you took

00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:39.519
your sweet time with those drinks. This is why

00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:44.720
we have replicators. I know. It looked like you

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.700
two needed a moment, so I just wanted to be obliging.

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.019
I may have to raise your rent, Tony. Sorry, Captain.

00:28:52.619 --> 00:28:55.180
This is a rent control district, sir. I'll have

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.660
a copy of my lease sent to your quarters. Well

00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:12.000
played, Tony. Thank you, sir. Well... Tomorrow's

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.279
a long day. I better get some sleep or I'm not

00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.779
going to be awake during the ceremony. Good night,

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:43.099
Tony. Good night, sir. Oh, good morning, Captain.

00:29:43.339 --> 00:29:46.880
May I help you? Yeah, hi. Where can I find...

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:49.700
Uh, the Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Pemmith Narland.

00:29:51.700 --> 00:29:54.119
He's in his office, sir. Just down the hall and

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:56.579
it's the third door on the right. Thank you,

00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:29.450
Ensign. Oh, you're welcome. Come in. Dr. Pemmoth

00:30:29.450 --> 00:30:38.630
-Narlin? Yes? Confound it, man. Speak up. I have

00:30:38.630 --> 00:30:46.089
a good old day. I'm here for my physical. Congratulations.

00:30:46.569 --> 00:30:49.009
You're in the right place for that, but I don't

00:30:49.009 --> 00:30:52.059
have time to assist you. See you the doctor on

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:56.779
call is they can get you squared away Excuse

00:30:56.779 --> 00:31:00.019
me, I'm captain Nick Moore reporting for my physical

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:07.059
Who ah Captain Moore my apologies. I was deeply

00:31:07.059 --> 00:31:10.339
engrossed in my work. I See that what are you

00:31:10.339 --> 00:31:14.640
studying? A member of the crew picked up a nasty

00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.880
parasite on our last assignment nothing to worry

00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:21.230
about really looking for a safe way to extract

00:31:21.230 --> 00:31:24.009
it from their body without killing her or the

00:31:24.009 --> 00:31:29.529
parasite. Now, how can I be of assistance? I'm

00:31:29.529 --> 00:31:33.690
Nick Moore. Yes, you stated that. How may I assist

00:31:33.690 --> 00:31:37.829
you? I'm the new captain of the ship and I'm

00:31:37.829 --> 00:31:40.930
reporting for my annual physical. I'm sorry,

00:31:40.930 --> 00:31:46.670
do you not remember me? No, I don't believe so.

00:31:46.950 --> 00:31:50.299
Should I? We both served together on the Maelstrom

00:31:50.299 --> 00:31:55.400
about 20 years ago. No, I'm afraid not. My memory's

00:31:55.400 --> 00:32:02.140
not as good as it used to be. I must apologize

00:32:02.140 --> 00:32:05.200
to you, but I am terribly busy right now and

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.140
simply will not be able to assist you with the

00:32:07.140 --> 00:32:09.299
physical. If you see the doctor on call, they'll

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:11.700
be happy to take care of you. Thank you for stopping

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:16.059
by, and welcome aboard, Captain. Thank you, Doctor.

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:44.599
Uh, hi. You're back. Welcome. I need to get my

00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.599
annual physical, and Dr. Narland said I should

00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.819
see whoever is on call. That would be Dr. Flint.

00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:54.579
One moment, sir. I'll pager. Ensign me to Dr.

00:32:54.720 --> 00:33:01.119
Flint. Flint here. Go ahead, Ensign. Doctor,

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.539
you have a patient waiting to be seen. Acknowledged,

00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.279
Ensign. Should be there momentarily. Flint out.

00:33:08.929 --> 00:33:10.829
If you'd like to take a seat, sir, she'll be

00:33:10.829 --> 00:33:16.670
with you shortly. Thank you. So, how long have

00:33:16.670 --> 00:33:20.809
you been posted to the Resilience, Ensign? Two

00:33:20.809 --> 00:33:24.609
weeks, sir. Fresh out of the Academy, huh? I

00:33:24.609 --> 00:33:28.289
remember those days. Just remember to enjoy them

00:33:28.289 --> 00:33:31.150
while you have the chance. Don't focus too much

00:33:31.150 --> 00:33:33.509
on your career right now, but you forget to have

00:33:33.509 --> 00:33:36.509
a little fun. Thank you, sir. I'll remember that.

00:33:43.529 --> 00:33:46.950
The tendons need time to finish healing. You'll

00:33:46.950 --> 00:33:49.450
want to exercise at a lower setting for at least

00:33:49.450 --> 00:33:56.809
a week. Who's next, Denton? That would be me.

00:33:57.450 --> 00:34:00.210
Captain Nickmore. Pleased to meet you. Hello,

00:34:00.450 --> 00:34:16.230
Captain. If you'd care to follow me? Why don't

00:34:16.230 --> 00:34:18.250
you come in here and hop up on the bio -bed?

00:34:20.809 --> 00:34:23.949
What can I do for you today, Captain? Truthfully,

00:34:24.630 --> 00:34:26.570
I know Captains can be a pain in the backside

00:34:26.570 --> 00:34:28.949
to get them to show up for their annual physicals.

00:34:29.389 --> 00:34:31.550
So I had some time I thought I might take the

00:34:31.550 --> 00:34:33.210
opportunity and get it out of the way before

00:34:33.210 --> 00:34:36.070
I assume command this afternoon. Well, aren't

00:34:36.070 --> 00:34:39.050
you sweet? But to be honest, you just wanted

00:34:39.050 --> 00:34:40.889
to score points with the medical staff before

00:34:40.889 --> 00:34:43.090
the job started demanding too much from you?

00:34:43.530 --> 00:34:47.329
Was I that obvious? I was actually trying to

00:34:47.329 --> 00:34:49.630
take a moment to reconnect with Dr. Narland,

00:34:50.110 --> 00:34:52.750
but he seems too engrossed in his project to

00:34:52.750 --> 00:34:56.250
talk to me. I wouldn't take it too personally,

00:34:56.489 --> 00:34:59.150
sir. It's clear he's getting to the age where

00:34:59.150 --> 00:35:02.110
he should be thinking about retiring. Not sure

00:35:02.110 --> 00:35:05.670
why he hasn't thought about pursuing it. Interesting.

00:35:06.469 --> 00:35:09.170
I did notice a few names on the crew list who

00:35:09.170 --> 00:35:14.199
are familiar. Like whom? Well... Captain Colon

00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:18.360
for one, Dr. Narlin, and Chief Engineer Strahn.

00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:21.159
I served with all three of them on the Maelstrom.

00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.719
It's been 20 years ago. It just seems a little

00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:27.920
strange having people from a previous ship still

00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:32.420
on active duty and now under my command. I don't

00:35:32.420 --> 00:35:34.079
know if you should let it bother you all that

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.659
much. Strahn is Vulcan, so he obviously lives

00:35:37.659 --> 00:35:40.579
a long time. And you didn't hear this from me,

00:35:40.579 --> 00:35:43.769
but... Colon and Arlen are too ornery to die.

00:35:44.150 --> 00:35:47.969
Is that right? I probably shouldn't have said

00:35:47.969 --> 00:35:50.289
that. I can't imagine what you must be thinking

00:35:50.289 --> 00:35:52.809
of me right now. Well, no. Not the kind of thing

00:35:52.809 --> 00:35:55.590
I've heard in other physicals. I'm not the kind

00:35:55.590 --> 00:35:58.210
of person who gossips about people behind their

00:35:58.210 --> 00:36:01.170
backs. My mom always said I tended to be headstrong

00:36:01.170 --> 00:36:04.269
and spoke my mind no matter what. I'm sorry,

00:36:04.449 --> 00:36:07.769
sir. It's okay. I like an officer who can speak

00:36:07.769 --> 00:36:11.449
their mind. My mom always said speaking my mind

00:36:11.449 --> 00:36:16.010
was my best and worst quality. Look, since I'm

00:36:16.010 --> 00:36:19.530
not the captain yet, or at least a few more hours,

00:36:19.849 --> 00:36:25.769
I'll pretend it never happened. Deal? Deal. Okay,

00:36:25.969 --> 00:36:30.329
are we all set now? Aye, sir. You are all set.

00:36:30.789 --> 00:36:34.449
You are 100 % fit for active duty. Thank you,

00:36:34.610 --> 00:36:38.719
Lieutenant Dr. Flint. Elizabeth. Let me walk

00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:44.119
you out. Hope to see you at the command transfer

00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:48.679
ceremony. I think I can spare a few minutes if

00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:51.179
things don't get too crazy around here. Great.

00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:56.099
I look forward to seeing you there. Dr. Flint?

00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:59.460
Lieutenant Cutler is here. She had another...

00:36:59.460 --> 00:37:02.860
accident on the holodeck. Have a good day, Captain.

00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:28.780
This way, Lieutenant. Looking sharp, Captain.

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:34.519
It's the big day. Are you nervous? Nope. Piece

00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:39.320
of cake. At least you were here on time. Captain,

00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:43.500
it's good to see you. Commander, I see you have

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:45.639
the correct uniform on and the right number of

00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:51.280
pips. I think red is your color. Yes, definitely.

00:37:51.940 --> 00:37:53.780
The red reminds me of bathing in the blood of

00:37:53.780 --> 00:38:04.760
my enemies. You're kidding, right? Perhaps. Okay.

00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.440
Commander Chirigodoth, you remember Lieutenant

00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:12.340
Nea Cole? Yes, of course. Nice to see you again.

00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:24.780
Likewise. Commander! Yes, Commander? Captain

00:38:24.780 --> 00:38:28.139
Colon. has asked that you and Captain Moore please

00:38:28.139 --> 00:38:32.119
make your way to the stage so we can begin. Very

00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:35.900
well. Lieutenant Commander Pravec, may I introduce

00:38:35.900 --> 00:38:39.039
Captain Nick Moore and Lieutenant Mia Colt, our

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:46.480
new Chief Helms Officer. An honor, sir. Lieutenant.

00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:52.010
A pleasure, sir. I must say, you're the first

00:38:52.010 --> 00:38:54.409
Cation Chief of Security I've ever had the opportunity

00:38:54.409 --> 00:39:00.289
to serve with. Thank you, sir. Shall we proceed

00:39:00.289 --> 00:39:14.110
to the dais, Commander? Captain Tom Cullen, may

00:39:14.110 --> 00:39:17.610
I present Captain Nick Moore. A pleasure, Captain.

00:39:18.010 --> 00:39:20.769
I'm anxious to get started. I still have some

00:39:20.769 --> 00:39:26.090
packing to do. Yes, of course. Commander. Yes,

00:39:26.949 --> 00:39:35.710
sir. Your attention, please. The Anthem of the

00:39:35.710 --> 00:39:53.389
Federation. I don't know if you remember me,

00:39:53.869 --> 00:39:57.010
but we served aboard the Maelstrom about 20 years

00:39:57.010 --> 00:40:06.050
ago? No, I don't seem to remember. Sorry. Ah,

00:40:06.190 --> 00:41:14.019
okay. Thanks anyways. Excuse me, Captain. I'd

00:41:14.019 --> 00:41:15.860
like to say a few words to the crew before we

00:41:15.860 --> 00:41:32.059
get started. Oh, by all means. Five years. It's

00:41:32.059 --> 00:41:35.679
been five years since this ship launched. Many

00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:40.119
of you were there on that day. Since then, we

00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:44.199
have been put to the test. We have been tried,

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:46.880
but we have withstood the hardships we faced.

00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:52.260
This crew has lived up to the ship's motto written

00:41:52.260 --> 00:41:57.260
on the dedication plaque on the bridge. The greatest

00:41:57.260 --> 00:42:01.380
glory in living lies not in never falling, but

00:42:01.380 --> 00:42:08.739
in rising every time we fall. Life is full of

00:42:08.739 --> 00:42:17.630
moments of change. This is one such moment. Even

00:42:17.630 --> 00:42:20.210
though I am moving on to the next chapter of

00:42:20.210 --> 00:42:24.690
my life, I will take all of you with me in my

00:42:24.690 --> 00:42:29.570
heart. And rest assured you are going to be in

00:42:29.570 --> 00:42:35.789
capable hands. Captain Moore is a fine officer

00:42:35.789 --> 00:42:41.150
with a good record. And as I end my time in Starfleet,

00:42:41.710 --> 00:42:45.110
I end it knowing I worked with the best damn

00:42:45.110 --> 00:42:55.050
people on the best damn ship in the fleet. Commander?

00:42:56.530 --> 00:43:02.369
All hands, attention to orders. To Captain Tom

00:43:02.369 --> 00:43:06.769
Colon, commanding officer USS Resilience, star

00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:44.340
is now under the command of Captain Nicholas

00:43:44.340 --> 00:43:49.880
J. Moore. I relieve you, sir. I stand... relieved.

00:43:58.019 --> 00:44:00.019
I'd like to say a few words if you don't mind.

00:44:00.420 --> 00:44:04.860
By all means, this is your ship now. Thank you.

00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:11.760
Thank you all for coming. I know any notable

00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:15.860
change in ship's crew can be a hit to morale

00:44:15.860 --> 00:44:20.320
and efficiency. Rest assured, Captain Colon,

00:44:21.420 --> 00:44:24.960
I promise this ship and its crew will be well

00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:30.039
cared for. With the help of Commander Doth, the

00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:32.280
resilience will be the type of ship in which

00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:36.400
each one of you can take pride. But most importantly,

00:44:37.099 --> 00:44:39.920
Captain Colon will be able to take pride in knowing

00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:43.780
his crew is still giving it their all for King

00:44:43.780 --> 00:44:48.199
and country. I'd like to remind the senior officers

00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:50.539
we will be having a mission briefing tomorrow

00:44:50.539 --> 00:44:54.380
morning at 0900 hours. Thank you to everyone

00:44:54.380 --> 00:45:24.920
for coming and enjoy the festivities. Riveting

00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:27.579
speech, sir. I think it brought a tear to my

00:45:27.579 --> 00:45:33.300
eye. Yeah, just remember to not be late for the

00:45:33.300 --> 00:45:39.480
staff meeting tomorrow. Aye, sir. Would you introduce

00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:41.320
me to the rest of the senior staff, Captain?

00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:56.590
Well, certainly, Mia. All hands, black alert!

00:46:00.670 --> 00:46:15.210
What's happening? I don't know. Oh wow, that's

00:46:15.210 --> 00:46:18.170
cool. From the stocking reception hall to the

00:46:18.170 --> 00:46:21.449
mud baths of Teller Prime. Captain part of really

00:46:21.449 --> 00:46:23.530
should have let me put the hollow matrix in the

00:46:23.530 --> 00:46:29.409
lounge on the intrepid agreed Later champagne

00:46:29.409 --> 00:46:40.190
Thank you There you go madam why thank you kind

00:46:40.190 --> 00:46:45.409
sir To the new captain of the USS resilience

00:46:45.409 --> 00:46:49.289
may his face be true may his warp call be always

00:46:49.289 --> 00:46:52.139
charged and may he have the wisdom to traverse

00:46:52.139 --> 00:46:55.179
the dangers of space safely to bring his crew

00:46:55.179 --> 00:47:07.119
back home. That was a beautiful toast, Mia. And

00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:17.239
here's to you. Lieutenant J .M. Mia Colt? Aye,

00:47:17.420 --> 00:47:30.880
sir. Shall we mingle? Let's shall. Captain Colon.

00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:36.539
This is quite a party. My compliments. As much

00:47:36.539 --> 00:47:39.360
as I'd like to take credit for it, the real credit

00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:42.880
goes to Tony. He really manages to make every

00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:48.920
celebration come alive. Indeed he does. Gentlemen,

00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:51.900
may I present the talented Lieutenant Josephine

00:47:51.900 --> 00:47:56.239
Miriam Colt, Helms Officer extraordinaire. My

00:47:56.239 --> 00:48:00.780
friends usually just call me Mia. Oh, of course.

00:48:01.260 --> 00:48:03.300
The young lady who was late for her duty shift

00:48:03.300 --> 00:48:07.900
on the bridge this morning. I am sorry about

00:48:07.900 --> 00:48:11.719
that. It will never happen again. I'll take your

00:48:11.719 --> 00:48:14.440
word for it, since I won't be here to put you

00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:17.659
in the brig. Oh, I'll be here to take care of

00:48:17.659 --> 00:48:20.179
that. Should I add the two strips of Latinum

00:48:20.179 --> 00:48:29.139
to your current debt balance, Lieutenant? Captain

00:48:29.139 --> 00:48:32.139
Mole, Lieutenant Colt, allow me to introduce

00:48:32.139 --> 00:48:35.159
Commander Strong, the Resilience's brilliant

00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:38.619
chief engineer. Our science officer, Lieutenant

00:48:38.619 --> 00:48:42.280
Commander Orochukov. Also, our chief medical

00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:45.400
officer, Commander Permat Narland. Gentlemen.

00:48:47.410 --> 00:48:50.730
Sirs? Commander Stratton, I've spoken with Captain

00:48:50.730 --> 00:48:54.769
Colon and Dr. Narling, surely as a Vulcan. You

00:48:54.769 --> 00:48:59.449
must remember me. I do not believe so, sir. From

00:48:59.449 --> 00:49:02.909
where should I have known you? The four of us

00:49:02.909 --> 00:49:05.130
served on the Maelstrom together twenty years

00:49:05.130 --> 00:49:09.710
ago, under then -Captain Cogallon. I do not believe

00:49:09.710 --> 00:49:12.710
so, sir. Perhaps you are confusing me with another

00:49:12.710 --> 00:49:16.360
officer named Stratton. It was a popular name

00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:19.000
for newborn males a hundred years ago on Volkan,

00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:23.760
around the time I was born. Okay, thank you.

00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:28.659
Well then, Commander Yuri Zhukov, I've read some

00:49:28.659 --> 00:49:31.219
of your research. I must say I'm very impressed

00:49:31.219 --> 00:49:36.940
with your work. Thank you, Captain. It is an

00:49:36.940 --> 00:49:39.400
honor, and I look forward to serving under you.

00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:46.099
Gentlemen. If you'll excuse me, I promised Lieutenant

00:49:46.099 --> 00:49:51.199
Colt we would mingle. Oh, that's quite alright,

00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:54.360
Captain. I'm going to excuse myself as well.

00:49:54.860 --> 00:49:57.780
I have more to pack before my transport arrives

00:49:57.780 --> 00:50:00.019
in the morning, and I think I'll contact my wife

00:50:00.019 --> 00:50:02.820
to let her know when she can expect me. Been

00:50:02.820 --> 00:50:05.440
an honor serving with you, gentlemen. Captain,

00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:07.599
would you and the Lieutenant care to walk me

00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:12.619
to the door? We would be honored, sir. I must

00:50:12.619 --> 00:50:16.460
say... Tony has outdone himself this time. I

00:50:16.460 --> 00:50:20.559
actually feel like I'm back on Talahar. You know,

00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:23.059
my wife and I honeymooned here back in our younger

00:50:23.059 --> 00:50:26.380
days. I had wanted to see this one more time

00:50:26.380 --> 00:50:31.960
before I... before I left this ship. Tony's version

00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:35.219
of it is so real, I... I swear I've been bitten

00:50:35.219 --> 00:50:40.179
by the insects in here. Captain, I noticed you've

00:50:40.179 --> 00:50:42.440
arranged for a transport to rendezvous with the

00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:44.460
Brazilians in the middle of Gamma Shift to take

00:50:44.460 --> 00:50:47.960
you home. Wouldn't you rather schedule it for

00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:50.199
a time when the crew can give you a proper send

00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:53.599
-off on your way to the transporter? I appreciate

00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:56.940
the offer, Captain, but I'm not much for goodbyes.

00:50:57.320 --> 00:50:59.599
I've said my farewells to the crew before the

00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:03.059
transfer, and I've met with my senior staff privately

00:51:03.059 --> 00:51:08.059
to extend my goodbyes. Though... It's best if

00:51:08.059 --> 00:51:10.980
I just slip out when no one is looking. As long

00:51:10.980 --> 00:51:20.219
as that's what you want, Captain. Ah, Captain

00:51:20.219 --> 00:51:24.019
Kola. Lieutenant Colt. May I introduce Lieutenants

00:51:24.019 --> 00:51:28.159
Gazing, our new operations officer, and Tevelle,

00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.760
the new ship's counselor. Pleasure. I see you'll

00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:33.559
be leaving the resilience in excellent hands.

00:51:34.139 --> 00:51:37.500
Thank you, sir. Have you both been able to get

00:51:37.500 --> 00:51:42.380
settled in? Aye, sir. Yes, Captain. I settled

00:51:42.380 --> 00:51:44.360
into my quarters and have started to set up my

00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:46.780
office. I should be able to begin seeing crew

00:51:46.780 --> 00:51:49.659
members within a day or two. We haven't had a

00:51:49.659 --> 00:51:52.480
ship's counselor on the resilience in some time.

00:51:54.059 --> 00:51:57.480
People on board tend to be very private and deal

00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.219
with things themselves. It's just their way.

00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:03.199
Well, if nothing else, I can be a listening point

00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:07.099
here if they need one. Lieutenant. Was that a

00:52:07.099 --> 00:52:11.280
show? Perhaps, sir. The lieutenant is like no

00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:15.019
other Vulcan you've ever met, Captain. Her father

00:52:15.019 --> 00:52:19.179
was a Koh -Lin -Ar master. And your mother? Wasn't.

00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:21.500
Her mother was a member of the Order of the Koh

00:52:21.500 --> 00:52:25.300
-at -Malat. Really? Yes. My mother always said

00:52:25.300 --> 00:52:27.260
that the Koh -at -Malat only bind their swords

00:52:27.260 --> 00:52:30.239
to the most hopelessly lost causes. And she never

00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:32.840
saw a cause more hopeless and lost than my father.

00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:37.739
Well, Captain. I must be going. It was a pleasure

00:52:37.739 --> 00:52:44.780
to meet you all. Safe journeys. Good night. I'm

00:52:44.780 --> 00:52:47.079
glad you both arrived safe. Don't forget the

00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:49.960
mission briefing at 0900 tomorrow morning. I

00:52:49.960 --> 00:52:52.920
can't wait to see you all there. Now, if you'll

00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.440
excuse me, I'm going to retire to my quarters,

00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:58.099
do some paperwork, and see if my parents are

00:52:58.099 --> 00:53:02.480
awake. Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure. I really

00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:04.420
would like to talk to my parents. They couldn't

00:53:04.420 --> 00:53:06.860
be here and I want to share it with them while

00:53:06.860 --> 00:53:09.539
I still have it fresh in my mind. Besides, you

00:53:09.539 --> 00:53:11.880
know my mother, she's gonna have a million questions.

00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:42.099
Say hi to them for me. The cast for this episode
