Introduction
The USS Pacifica celebrates christmas at Starbase 257 and Commodore Butterworth pops a very special question.
Summary
The USS Pacifica docked at Starbase 257 for immediate repairs after it's encounter with the Rikan Pirates who were operating along the neutral zone. With the Pacifica sidelined for 3 to 4 days for repairs the entire crew got the opportunity to fully celebrate the traditional earth holiday of Christmas. The crew got really involved in the celebrations with some members of the ship’s staff deciding to decorate their quarters and the Pacifica’s bar and lounge Jadda's. For some of the crew it was their first taste of the Christmas holiday and they also chose to be involved in the celebration learning as they went. In the early hours of the 25th of December the first ever baby was born on the Pacifica to the loving parents of Ashley and Sam Douglas. Also in a surprise move Commodore Butterworth asked for Doctor Morgan's hand in marriage, after some brief hesitation that included delivering the Douglas’ baby Morgan accepted Butterworth’s proposal.
Christmas Dinner which was held later that day was the highlight of the celebration with the majority of the crew in attendance. It was during this dinner that the rest of the crew got to meet some new faces who had recently transferred onboard the ship including some old ones as well who were returning to the fold. The crew also bid a sad farewell to Lieutenants James Harris and Owen Banks who were leaving the Pacifica to lead the expedition that was exploring the ruins found in the Typhon System. Lieutenant Marcus Cesarian was named as the Pacifica’s new Chief Science Officer.
