There hasn’t been much to report lately, because there hasn’t been much taking place. The Enterprise is currently assigned to patrol and scan duties along an area of the Romulan Neutral Zone. It isn’t glamorous work, but Starfleet does need ships to maintain these mission parameters, just as the Romulans are likely doing the same on their side of the Zone. We are, of course, only assigned here temporarily – we’re filling in for another ship that was pulled to port for some vital upgrades. When that ship returns in a week or two, we will likely be returned to our own regular mission assignments.
As much as we may wish otherwise, quite often, life in Starfleet is relatively mundane. It isn’t always rare anomalies and first contact situations. Sometimes it really is just day-to-day duties scanning space dust... or operating quietly along the Neutral Zone.
