We are assembled here today to
pay final respects to our honored
dead.
And yet, it should be noted, that
in the midst of our sorrow, this
death takes place in the shadow of
new life, the sunrise of a new world,
a world that our beloved comrade
gave her life to protect and
nourish. She did not feel this
sacrifice a vain or an empty one -
and we will not debate her profound
wisdom at these proceedings.
-Stands in a salute-
-A gleaming black projectile is carried by pallbearers
into the launching chamber, which locks behind it. At
a hand signal from a torpedo man, the projectile is
fired-
-Long pause as a voice out of no where starts to speak-
Space, the final frontier... These
are the continuing voyages of the
Starship Enterprise... Her ongoing
mission: to explore strange new
worlds... to seek out new life and
new civilizations... To boldly go
where no man has gone before...
[ Though my knowledge of Star Trek has wavered over the years I thought it only right to have a Star Trek finally good bye. ]
