Description
As the three crew members walked across outer surface of the primary hull with Captain Dhruva, they were all too aware of the special privilege it represented. Such EVAs were usually limited to vital repairs or large, ceremonial gatherings. In either case participants are there for a purpose, not to sightsee. But these walks, virtually naked to the stars, was the Captain’s prerogative. His personal time for solace and to replenish the sense of wonder that drove him to his career.

Since their shared three-weeks’ ordeal with the Gorn on Bowman-8, the three crewmen had developed a special bond with the Captain. They’d lost count how many times they’d saved each other’s lives in that time. So the Dhruva extended them an invitation to join him in his unique stargazing job benefit. Thus Lieutenant Ralston, Ensign Eeeaapp, and Lieutenant Commander I-Ben Itaar found themselves striding across Old Duraniumsides’ upper surface with their path illuminated from the glow of their environment belts.

As they approached the edge of the ship’s giant disc, Eeeapp joked that the four of them should consider forming the official U.S.S. Constitution Astronomy Club. The sparkle that resulted in the Captain’s eye could only mean that the notion struck a chord with his quirky sense of Star Fleet decorum. Little did the cetacean Ensign realize what his quip would ultimately hatch.

=================

This is one of those ideas that came to me as I laid in bed half asleep in the morning. Many of my Trek images have developed organically, with me having no idea what I’d be creating until I loaded up a model and started spinning the camera around. But like “Putting in for Repairs”, this is one of those few pre-planned projects.
