A Warm and Hopeful Welcome

The Enterprise is in orbit of Earth as admirals tour the ship, our crew is interviewed, and many aboard ship prepare to relocate to Earth and other assignments. As of the last status report, nearly 350 Starfleet personnel have requested reassignment, and with many ship civilians planning to give up residency as well. The heart of this ship is broken.

On a lighter note, Starfleet Command has issued a public statement welcoming us back home. They have confirmed our identities, and are already preparing to recommission the Enterprise back into service. There are still a number of hearings, investigations, and changes to go through – and we’ll probably be at Earth for a while yet, but it is encouraging to see so many people excited about our survival. It is good to be appreciated.

Since the Enterprise will likely be at Earth for a while, all crew that have been interviewed, and cleared security, have been given leave. I myself have plans to visit my family in Wisconsin, although, I’ll probably do so for day trips only.

There’s a lot to catch up on now that we’re officially “alive” again, but I have confidence the remainder of this crew can pull it together. In truth, a few days of leave on Earth, may be just what we need to start anew.
