Good afternoon, gentle people. I am Lieutenant Nyota Uhura, of the Starship Enterprise. I regret to inform you that our healer, Dr. McCoy, has returned to our home for a short duration of time. He will be missed, until his return.
I have been named First Officer in his absence. If you have any questions, you are welcome to direct them to me, and I will answer them as politely and succinctly as possible.
