This post was shared from Lieutenant Sam Archer, while on a mission aboard the runabout, SS Terra Nova. It is archived here for mission report purposes.
I am now aboard my runabout, SS Terra Nova. We are preparing to launch from Shuttlebay 3 (on the Enterprise), and jump into warp. Our first destination will be the Klingon colony planet that Lieutenant Worf booked passage to, before switching to a Klingon vessel that was supposed to take him to Qo'Nos. We will check the flight records at the colony, and proceed from there.
Our journey to this Klingon colony planet will take just under two days. Remember, Danube-class runabouts can only travel as high as warp 5. Our 1-light-year, 1-day, 17-hour journey would only take 5 hours at warp 9 (the operational speed of the Enterprise). Unfortunately, the USS Enterprise does not have clearance to enter Klingon space, and a warp-5 runabout is the only civilian vessel we have at our disposal. The journey will take longer, but we will make due.
As stated on the Enterprise PAO channel, I will be reporting on this search mission from the runabout Terra Nova. I am the pilot of this vessel; I am leaving the Public Affairs office in capable hands. If you want to keep tabs in this mission, be sure to follow my personal Sam Archer Facebook page for all reports. I cannot report from the Enterprise, because I won't be aboard the Enterprise.
Alright... I've just been called to the runabout bridge. Time for launch. Stay tuned.
-Lieutenant Sam Archer
