[Kirk is sitting in his chair on a mostly empty bridge as they circle the rocky planet, watching Bacchus II from afar. He presses a button on the arm of his chair and the ship's computer starts recording, Kirk sitting back as he tries to remember the information Starfleet had sent him.]

"As of now, we are in orbit -- circling Bacchus II. Starfleet has requested that our medical and scientific research teams study the annual mating cycles in connection with a plant whose pollen is responsible. The away team has left, and we are currently awaiting their return."

"I always figured our first away mission would be way more exciting than this."
