Independence NCC-1776\nslowly made it's way through space at impulse speed. On the bridge\nof\nthe ship everything was calm, and quiet other than the usual beeping,\nand humming of computer consoles. Sitting in the Captain's Chair was a\n6'5\" 300 pound muscularly built male Anthropomorphic Panther with dark\ngreen eyes. On his lap was a log recorder.\n\n\"Captain's log, Stardate 9521.6. We've just finished establishing\npeaceful relations with the native people of the Nimoy system, who\ncontacted us, just as we were passing through their region of space. How\nthey knew we were in their sector, I'll never know. I beamed down, and\nmet with their leader, a rather frail elderly gentleman by the name of\nLeonard. Leonard expressed great interest in his people joining the\nFederation, so now, the Independence crew, and I are on our way back to\nEarth for a long needed rest after having been out here in space for\nfour years without a break. This will give me time to present the\npetition of the Nimoyians to the Federation Council purrrrsonally. I\nhope the Nimoyians will be allowed to join.\n\n Captain Panther\npicked up his his 12 String Acoustic Guitar from the nearby Guitar\nstand, and started strumming it as as a subspace signal came through.\nCommunications Officer Lieutenant Natasha Wyatt answered the call.\n\n\"Captain. Urgent message from the Excelsior.\"\n\"On screen,\" Captain Panther told her.\nThe screen turned on, and the visage of Captain Sulu, and his bridge crew could be seen. \n\"Hikiru. This is certainly unexpected, but not unwelcome,\" the Panther\nsaid. It is then that he saw the rather grim expressions on the\nExcelsior bridge crew's faces, so he put his guitar back onto it's stand\nagain.\n\n\"What's going on?\" he asked.\n\"Bad news, I'm afraid, Jarak\" Sulu told Captain Panther. \"Praxis has exploded.\"\n"}
