The Tractor Beam


To them it was a mighty ship.  With their young imaginations they quickly envisioned its many missions across the galaxy.  They pictured it once having massive battle guns mounted along its sides and winning battle after battle with them in charge.

As they took turns sitting in the Captain’s seat they would close their eyes and see the stars and planets whizzing past.  They were at light speed and could almost feel the mighty ship shake from the stress.

Of course there were dents and bruises here and there; battle scars from their many adventures, but their faith in the old ship was strong and she had never failed them.

Maybe one day they would fix her dents and replace her paint but that would have to have approval from Starfleet. 
 
  
 
 
and lately Starfleet had been in a mood.
