Star Trek: A Dimensional Disaster

Chapter 1

Captain's Log, Stardate: April 4th, 2418: 

I've been captain of the Enterprise for a few months now, and so far, things have gone well.

My first officer, a female Andorian from Andoria, Commander Halle Rojinski, has been quite the help for me. 

There is also my tactical officer, Lieutenant-Commander Ethan Philips, a dark-brown haired, black, male Human from Earth. He's a very good person who's not afraid to try out different tactical maneuvers and weapon strategies. 

There's my chief engineer, a Lieutenant-Commander "Ozzy", a female Ferengi, one of the first to join Starfleet. 

Then there's my chief medical officer, Lieutenant Senior-Grade, Joseph Marks. He is a perfectly capable officer and knows pretty much everything about the medical field. 

And then we have, the helmsman, Lieutenant Junior-Grade, Maurice Barnett... A bald black Human from Earth...

Now, Maurice is a GREAT pilot, but the only problem I have is that he was a "buy one get two free" type deal...

When Maurice came on board, he was joined by two other officers, Ensigns Randy and Josh, the latter liking to call himself "Chavezz"...

All three men are hard workers, unless they're together in the same room, then it goes from "working hard" to "hardly working". 

And finally, one of our newest editions, Lal, an android created by Captain Data. She's technically his daughter, and she is highly skilled in many departments...

All in all, we make a pretty good team...

For the moment, we have been ordered by Admiral Janeway to patrol the Federation border to the Neutral Zone.

Nothing to report so far...

"Computer, end log." I said.

I heard a beep before the little red circle on my PADD disappeared. 

Suddenly, another beep resounded through my quarters courtesy of the entrance door.

"Enter." I said.

The doors slid open, allowing Ethan to enter.

"Captain, we have reports of Borg activity near Earth." Ethan said.

"Did they already dispatch a fleet?" I asked.

"They dispatched a 'task force' sir, five ships." Ethan said.

I nodded my head at the new information. 

"Anything else?" I asked.

"Yes sir; A Federation outpost has picked up chatter from a rogue group of Klingons. Something about a plot against the Undine." Ethan said.

"Very well. Notify Starfleet Command that we are available to investigate if they choose." I said while continuing to work on my PADD.

"Captain?" Ethan asked.

"Yes?" I said while turning my head toward the man.

"Why did Starfleet send us out here instead of sending us on more important missions?" He asked.

"I don't know. It could have something to do with what happened to the Enterprise-F. After that incident, Starfleet became more militarized. That's why we carry phasers at all times now..." I said.
