The Alpha Quadrant is starting to learn about the existence of the Bajoran wormhole. Today, a (non-Starfleet) Federation survey ship, and a Vulcan science vessel were granted passage through the wormhole. In related news, the commship we sent to the regional Starfleet Command headquarters, on Lya III, likely arrived yesterday. Starfleet – at least the local administration – now knows that the wormhole exists. We, therefore, await orders, sent by commship (from Lya III), indicating how Starfleet plans to continue their presence in the Bajor System. With the new significance of this phenomena, and our increasing relationship with the Bajoran people, I have a feeling the USS Enterprise-D will be operating in this region for a while to come.
There may not be much happening aboard the Enterprise-D right now, but there is a level of excitement about being parked at the crossroads of two galactic quadrants. If I’m lucky, I may even get the opportunity to pilot my civilian runabout, the SS Terra Nova, through the wormhole in the next few days. It will be the first mission of the little vessel since I bought it. To say that I am excited, would be an understatement. 70,000 light years in a matter of minutes… oh, heck, yeah!
