Freeman: Captain's log, stardate 58496.1. While the primary mission of the California-class is second contact, Starfleet has never considered our work a top priority. Until today. I'm thrilled to log that my planetary follow-up initiative has finally been given the green light by Admiral Buenamigo.

Buenamigo: Congratulations, Captain Freeman. There's no one better suited for Project Swing By.
Freeman: And there's no one better suited to assign it to me, Admiral.
Buenamigo: Let's ditch the pomp and set this conversation to facts.
Ransom: "Ditch the pomp"?
Shaxs just shrugs before the admiral continues.
Buenamigo: The first Project Swing By planet you'll be checking in on is Ornara.
Ransom: Ornara. Picard made first contact there, right?
Buenamigo: Yes. 17 years ago. So, they're long overdue for some Starfleet attention. If this goes well, Swing By missions will be assigned across the entire California-class.
Freeman: Then I'll make sure it goes better than well. I know you will. Which is why I have a journalist from FNN en route to the Cerritos. She'll be documenting your success as it happens. Buenamigo out.
Buenamigo cuts off communication.
Ransom: Congratulations, Captain. I think I speak for all of us when I say-
Freeman: This is terrible!
Shaxs: But, you've been lobbying for Project Swing By for years.
Freeman: Not that. The reporter! The ship's a mess. We have to clean it up before she gets here.
The bridge crew just laughs until Freeman got serious.
Freeman: WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!
T'ana: Oh sh-t, She's serious!
Freeman: Go get your departments in order now!
Ransom: Yes, Captain!
The bridge crew run out of the room and immediately get to work before the reporter arrived. A few hours after the captain cooled down, she meet up with Ransom to gather any intel of the Ornarans.
Freeman: What do we know about the Ornarans?
Ransom: They were ravaged by a plague, the cure for which was a plant called felicium, which only grew on their sister planet, Brekka. The Brekkians exploited access to the drug and got the Ornarans hooked on it, even after the plague was cured.
Freeman: (Scoff.) Some sister. What did Picard have to say about it?
Ransom: By the time the Enterprise got there, Ornara was in shambles, due to their addiction. Picard severed communication between the planets and, uh well, let's see oh, uh, then he left.
