Captain's Log, Stardate 40XXX.3

The USS Niven has been assigned orders to rendezvous with a science vessel, the Oppenheimer, at Starbase 103. The mission specialist, Commander Bartok, beamed aboard along with a Vulcan psycho-historian, T'Suus, and an Andorian exoarchaeologist, Dr. Tolus, to give my crew a briefing.
