"Under the Sea and Above the Stars"
(OOC: Just to put any potential readers in the right frame of mind, this is a Star Trek-themed RP, set in the mid-25th century.)
Captain's Log, Stardate 97488. Inaugural entry, Captain Maxwell Archer reporting. Today will be my first day as the Captain of a new Enterprise, whose head designer was actually an Abyssian. I find myself eager to meet my First Officer, who I am told is the first Abyssian, half or otherwise, to join Starfleet.
Otherwise, I am told all is proceeding as planned, and we will be ready to make our maiden voyage in just over forty-eight hours, as scheduled. Updates will be added as necessary. End log entry.
As befitting a newly-minted Captain of a Federation Starship, Maxwell Archer--the several times removed great-grandson of the legendary Jonathan Archer--had exercised the right to board the ship by shuttlecraft, rather than using the transporter, so that he might look upon it in all its majesty before he took command. To say it was beautiful would be an understatement. It truly looked a work of art; the sleek, slight design made it look like it could pass through a nebula and not displace one micron of stellar matter, the whites and blues of the hull and nacelles nothing like the cold gray of previous vessels. He turned to the pilot, a young Ensign who navigated the crowded spacedock like it was his hometown, and said, "Take us into the shuttlebay." The youth worked his hands wordlessly over the controls, and the small shuttle banked smoothly and after a few more moments touched down lightly inside the cavernous bay where the Enterprise's small craft would be stored. As he descended the boarding ramp, another junior officer shouted, "Captain on deck!" The assembled crew snapped to attention as a bosun's whistle sounded. A podium was already ready for him. He stepped up to it, cleared his throat, and recited. "By order of Starfleet Command, on this day, Stardate 97488..." The speech was fairly standard, and he had memorized it before he came here. He was nervous--this was his first command, after all--and it was the Enterprise, for crying out loud. But he was also excited for what the future held.
