[QUOTE]Originally posted by Stingray: [QB] "This just occured to me - does this mean that the Pre-E is fated to be destroyed by 2161?" This is something that I wrote quite quickly - if it oversteps the bounds of this thread then by all means remove it, but I figure it's acceptably short. =============== He turned the model over in his hand, inspecting the details. "So this is the new Galaxy-class starship, huh?" "Just about. ASDB's still working out a few details, but that, my friend is the starship for the next century. "Does it really have to be this big?" The older engineer looked at his colleague with a mix of disdain and amusement. "You're an idiot, you know that?" His own response was of mock anger, which quickly faded to a bemused smile that matched the other's. The elder continued, "They decided that volume was more important than the best possible profile. And they still managed to achieve a damn good maximum warp. "But it could be even faster if the profile was more streamlined." "And keep the same volume?" It was a challenge to the younger engineer's impetuousness who, rather miraculously, was actually left speechless for a few seconds. "I bet you…" He paused trying to think of something to bet. "I bet you we could." The other engineer regarded him for a moment, debating whether to carry on the conversation or not. "Well, its too late now." He said finally. "They've already started building the prototype." He had given up arguing the point, and went back to inspecting the model. He noticed something interesting about the model. "Hey, you realize that this model says Enterprise on it? NCC-1701…D." "Yeah, they're going to make one of the Galaxy's into the next Enterprise." "Which one?" "Second or third probably. Depends on how well the prototype works." "How much you want to bet that this one's going to be destroyed by Klingons too?" The older engineer rolled his eyes, to which the younger man continued more forcefully "Four Starfleet starships [i]all named[/i] Enterprise. [i]All[/i] destroyed by Klingons." "Now that's not true. The C was destroyed by Romulans." "But she was defending Klingons. Klingons were involved anyway. Don't tell me its any coincidence. And wasn't Earth Fleet Enterprise destroyed by Klingons too?" "Beats the hell out of me. I'm too rusty on my pre-Federation history." "If I were the captain of the Big E-D, I'd run at the first sign of a Klingon ship." "And that, my friend, is exactly why you are not a starship captain." ======== BTW: Just before I posted this, I changed 'UESPA' to 'Earthfleet' in the story because of the teaser. My supposition is that after Fed Starfleet was created the Earth Stafleet became generally known as the Earth fleet to avoid confusion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
