Summary

PREVIOUSLY IN STAR TREK...: After escaping from the trap set by the Tholians, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise has repaired the damage to the ship and resumed its five-year mission of discovery into uncharted regions of the Alpha Quadrant...

Log entries

Helmsman's log, supplemental.: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Holding the conn on the bridge is one thing. You're surrounded by several hundred extremely talented people and a state-of-the-art flagship.
But leading an away-team down to an unknown planet and testing prototype technology? That's something else.
So I surround myself with the best.
Science officer Amos. Recent transfer from the Endeavor. Export in xeno-flora and fauna.
Science officer Ferdowsi. Anthropologist. He's made first contact with more species than anyone in the fleet.
For security, Lt. Cordry. Rumor is she once took down a fully grown rabid sehlat with her own bare hands on a trip to Vulcan.
And Mr. Scott insisted on seeing his prototype in action firsthand, so that makes five of us.: We're on the ground an hour ahead of schedule.

Helmsman log, continued.

Everything that could go wrong on my first away command has.
We've lost contact with the Enterprise.
We're surrounded by an armed populace.
The Prime Directive has been shattered.
My only consolation is that things can't get any worse...
... Can they?
