As the USS Gilroy entered the wormhole, they had it on the viewscreen for everyone to see. It didn’t take long to pass through the wormhole; it was a fantastic sight. So many crew members were looking out of the port and starboard windows, and a few were using holo-cameras to record this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The trip was soon over and everyone returned to their stations, awaiting what was to happen next.

“Open ship-wide please, Lt. Commander. Seconds later, the comms had opened. We are through the wormhole. Can all department heads please check in? We aim to deliver supplies to the Markonian Outpost and meet with other races that Voyager and Starfleet vessels encountered last year during the Blood Dilithium incident.” 

He looked at the senior crew and others on the bridge, took a deep breath, and told the Lt. Commander to open a channel to Starbase 38. Lt Commander Sharpe opened the channel and confirmed it was open.

“StarBase 38 greetings from the USS Gilroy and the Delta Quadrant. We arrived safely and we will see you in a few months. Moments later, Gilroy received a message back from the Alpha Quadrant. This is Admiral Vailis. Good luck, Captain Telkir, and we will see you when you get back.” 

With that Captain Telkir said to the Ensign at the helm “Ensign plot a course to the Markonian Outpost please full impulse” With that the Ensign plotted the course and said, “Course engaged captain we be there in an hour”.

An hour soon went past, and the Gilroy had finally arrived at the Markonian Outpost, “Captain we have arrived at the outpost and I put us into a standard orbital course” said the young Helmsman.

“Thank you, Ensign and nice using your initiative,” replied Captain Telkir 

Turning around and looking at the Lt Commander stationed at tactical “Open hailing channel to the station, please Lt Commander Sharp.”

With that, you hear the Lt commander taped a few buttons on her console and within a few seconds, the federation liaison stationed there appears on the screen.

“Welcome USS Gilroy to the Delta Quadrant. I am Lieutenant Haywire. How can I help you today?” 

“Afternoon Lieutenant, greetings from the Alpha Quadrant. We have your monthly supplies from Starbase 38 and any corresponding subspace messages for all you guys on board the station. Can my crew come over for a day’s shore leave before we head off on our mission?” Replied Captain Telkir.

“Give me 5 minutes while I check with my commanding officer on your request to have a 24-hour leave. As for the supplies, please beam them over into cargo bay 5 and file the supply manifest with the station supply officer. I get back to you in a minute.” With that, the viewscreen went back to a view of space and the station.

A few minutes went past and the ship’s comb went with a message coming back from the starbase in response to the captain’s request. “Captain, it’s Lieutenant Haywire calling from the Starbase again,” Said Lieutenant Commander Sharp.

Turning around, he looked at the Lt Commander nodding his head to inform her to put the callback on the viewing globe. With that, he turned back around, looking at the viewscreen to see the Lieutenant back on the screen.” So what did your commanding office say then Lieutenant” asked Captain Telkir.

“He’s told me that you can have shore leave but only on a 6-hour visit, so split the crew down to 4 visits and that be fine. Stay in high orbit and transport the supplies over to cargo bay 5, as I informed you.” Replied the young lieutenant. And with that, the viewscreen went back to viewing space and the space station.
