Reports of Borg attacks on several outposts in the Carelin system. Seem to be focused on major dairy producers and some kind of speclialist farming planet.
No more details than that, yet.
Enterprise is nearest ship, so we're inbound.
Riker already making jokes about 'locking up the Captain'.
We're having problems with the temperature regulators, the whole ship smells of arse and the replicators are out of mini-Magnum licences.
This is the side of Star Fleet that never makes the Holos. #startrek
It's refit week! So we're docked at the Volvo Yards above New Göteborg.
Which SOMEHOW always magically coincides with the #gothcon gaming convention. I am sure this is IN NO WAY related to Geordi and Riker's Warhammer habit.
Not that I'm complaining. I offered to fly them down.
Your Starfleet shuttle pilot slang of the day:
"Scrubber mission"
One where you KNOW you're gonna need to use the vanity shield and the ultrasonic mop.
This post brought to you by the news that Picard's booked a shuttle so he can 'escort' a lady archeologist to a dig again.
But if you go to Vulcan, to that planetary archive, you can read that original report.
You can see the joy, fear, hope and awe in the words of the commander of the T'Plana-Hath, even through his logic. You can see the representative of one species realise he has discovered another that can perfectly compliment his own.
It is a moment of beauty and history. A moment that sums up EVERYTHING the Federation is about: that when we work together, we become our best selves.
And it's because of mushrooms.
Happy first contact day, everyone.

Of course in the century since, it's all become glossed up in stories of shared ideals and fancy language about explorer species and exchange of ideas.
But they still teach the mushroom thing in Vulcan schools. They're just too nice to mention it in front of humans. /13
Because somehow humans had evolved to eat mushrooms. No other race they'd encountered in the galaxy, including Vulcans, could do this.
The Vulcans even discreetly tried to feed the bar cat some mushrooms to see if it was a planet thing. Nope. Cat refused.
They were in awe. /12
And it all started with mushrooms. With the command crew of the T'Plana-Hath sitting there, that April evening, and watching in awe as humans casually nom nommed mushrooms. In soup. On burgers. With bacon. In so many different ways.
And they thought:
"This species fucks around. And accepts that sometimes they'll find out." /11
