An Enterprise Swim Match

The Enterprise is preparing to leave Deep Space 1 within a few hours, however, that didn’t stop one last event from taking place aboard the Starbase. Our own counselor, Lieutenant Nicholas Hopkins, had challenged our newest Adamoi crewmember, Evelee, to a swim match in the DS1 pool. Today was the date of the meet.

A few dozen spectators were in attendance, enough to fill the bleachers. My staff and I were present as well. Somehow, Lieutenant Hopkins even managed to have the event broadcast live in the lounges of both DS1 and the Enterprise. I hear there were quite a few people watching aboard the Enterprise, including Captain Picard.

In the end, it was a thrilling race, with Lieutenant Hopkins edging out Evelee by 0.07 seconds for the win. Both swimmers enjoyed the attention, and those watching seemed to be heavily invested as well. A reception and “after-party” were held in Ten Forward (here aboard the Enterprise), with Evelee playfully declaring that she could easily defeat Nicholas in a rematch. She claims to have been holding back in her performance, and would love to swim again at her full skill level. I wouldn’t be surprised if medal-winning swimmer, Lieutenant Hopkins, schedules a rematch as soon as another pool becomes available.

Competition is alive and well, here aboard the Enterprise. It’s a sign that our crew is starting to come together as a community. We had a rocky start with the Devron Anomaly, but it’s good to see the crew settling in and life moving on.
