Just for fun, you work on a Star-Trek-style starship. Name it whatever you want and tell us about it. Its crew is whoever you work with at your current job. If you're the boss where you work, you're the captain. Otherwise, the captain is whoever your current boss is. The ship's doctor isn't necessarily from where you work. He or she is whoever your current regular family doctor is. I'll go and then you go.
My ship is the USS Omaha. Our captain keeps a cool head and is normally fair and doesn't panic. He actually has some very good traits as captain. Our crew has about an 8 to 1 male to female ratio. Many of us are every bit as holo addicted as Reginald Barclay. Some of the men have never touched a real, live woman and have only had relations with holodeck created women. In fact there's a HUGE demand for holodeck time with our crew, with many members spending every spare moment on the holodeck playing holo games similar to 21st century computer games. The crew has a lot of technical skill, especially with computers. Computer security is top notch on board the Omaha, but our ship is not known for diplomatic skills with other species. Our ship's doctor is actually a nurse practitioner who's skilled and very personable. Some of the crew invent symptoms just to spend time with her.
Our ops person is so skilled with trickery, he's the only star fleet person known to have swindled the Ferengi using their own Rules of Acquisition. Rather than hating him for that, the Ferengi erected a statue of him on Ferenginar.
Very little dating happens on the USS Omaha, though there is one female crew member who has slept with 70 percent of the men on board and probably with some of the women.
The engineering department rivals the efficiency of the USS Enterprise, though when Admiral Picard looked at its diplomatic record, he made his famous facepalm. Some of the crew have alcohol abuse and other substance abuse problems. The crewwoman who attends the hydroponic gardens secretly grows marijuana and magic mushrooms in there and sells them on the side. The captain makes a half-hearted attempt to stop that, as he is one of her biggest customers.
Am I confident that our beloved starship will eventually make its say back to earth? Let's put it this way: When sober this crew is highly rational and intelligent and competent to get us home. So, no, I'm not that confident we'll get home alive.
Your turn. What's your starship like?
