Chapter 2… Bring Your Dad to Work Day Stardate 12652.9 August 7th, 2299 The Shenandoah was a Miranda-class. Compact, rugged and reliable with underslung nacelles attatched to the intergrated engineering compartment taking the whole rear half of the saucer section. Not quite meant to replace the aging Constitution-classes, but is sure looks like they will within the next ten or twenty years. She drops out of warp and pulls up along side the Miyagi like a minnow next to a shark. The transporter activates one pad. The Captain of the Shenandoah emerges from the beam. A human female.

Captain Murdoch steps down to greet Captain K’Ellis with a traditional Vulcan salute. “Commodore K’Ellis.” Commodore K’Ellis returns the gesture. “Captain Murdoch.” He drops his hand to gesture to his first officer. “My Number One, Commander Gallagher.” Murdoch reaches to shake Gallagher’s hand. “I’ve heard about you.” She says. “The Commodore

Correct, Doctor?” The Tellarite doctor scoffs. “Funny that you think that’s up to you.” “I am the Captain of this vessel.” “And I’m your Doctor. I win.” Gallagher shrugs. “He kinda does, sir.” K’Ellis gives his first officer a dirty look. Or as dirty as Vulcans can manage. “Sorry.” He says. K’Ellis eyes Gallagher’s PADD. “What is that?” “Damage report, sir.” Gallagher hands the PADD to the Captain allowing him to review it. “We have most of our primary systems back online,” He reports. “Weapons, life support, impulse.” “It says here that warp drive is still
