TACTICAL OFFICER (O.S): INCOMING!!!!
Screen fizzes out.
CAPT. BRANSON: Captain Alexander Johnson good officer, good man bit of a windbag and a bit cocky still don't know why they gave him command of a science vessel, nor why the Romulans attacked a lightly armed Starfleet Science vessel.

CAPT. BRANSON (nods): Oh yeah we will as soon as we tow the Peterson to Starbase Six.

I hope it comes as some small comfort to know your son was a fine young man and a fine Starfleet Officer. His sense of humor, his devotion to duty and his loyalty to his friends made him an asset to not only to Starfleet and the Federation and, in particular, to the USS Enterprise NCC-1701. He will be greatly missed by all who had the honor and privilege to serve with him "and he will never be forgotten. Again, I offer you my most heartfelt condolences. Live Long and Prosper Jaffah.
