Story:Star Trek: Columbia/For Want of a Nail/Teaser

Columbia is at high warp.

''Captain's Starlog December 7th 2154. We're on course for a stellar nursery to study it's wonder so far we've not encountered any Romulan vessels since our first meeting at Epsilon II, on a personal note we're paying respect to our fallen comrades.''

In the Cargo Bay Captain Martin is at the stand.

On this day in Earth's history we were ambushed by the Japanese forces at Peal Harbor, while we mounted a somewhat successful defense. We sustained heavy losses during that day we now pay respect to those who lost their lives in that ambush Captain Martin says as she looks at the crew.

The MACOs fire their particle rifles to pay respect to the fallen.

In the Captain's Mess Captain Martin is eating breakfast and looking at the padd of crew and ship status reports, when the com activates she presses the button.

Martin here go ahead Captain Martin says as she spoke to the com.

Captain we're receiving a hail from Starfleet Command it's Admiral Martin Commander Nelson says over the com.

She thinks for a minute.

Patch him here Captain Martin says as she pressed the com panel and inputs commands into a screen and it shows the office of her father.

Brianna congrats on your new command sorry I wasn't there to congratulate you in person as you can see I've been swapped at Starfleet Command Admiral Martin says on the monitor.

She smiles.

I understand father what's the reason for this call? Brianna says as she looks at the screen.

We're delaying your mission to the Stellar Nursery and altering your course to Solarian Prime are you familiar with them Admiral Martin says on the monitor.

She nods.

As far as I know they're historians what seems to be the issue? Captain Martin says as she looks at the screen.

Admiral Martin interlaces his fingers.

We've received a hail from their government out of the blue requesting that we make an appearance it turns out that the Vulcans have been bragging about their first contact with us to people they meet, and they want to meet our kind and you're our ambassador cause your the closet ship to that sector Admiral Martin says on the monitor.

Brianna looks at the screen.

James smiles.

She walks over to the com panel and pressed it.

She leaves the Captain's mess.
