I find myself thinking of some "memories" of when I was assigned to the USS Wainwright. The ship had left port for a short regional deployment and I stayed back because I had a medical appointment on base. Or something like that. Not really sure why I didn't leave with the ship but it was because of some appointment on base. After that appointment, there was a period before the ship was due back when I was assigned to work in an office there on base.

TROPICAL STORM BARRY SWIRLS TO LIFE

AP , Associated Press

Jul. 13, 1989 1:38 PM ET

MIAMI (AP) _ Tropical Storm Barry has swirled to life, packing 40 mph winds but posing no immediate threat to land, the National Weather Service said today.

At noon EDT, the center of the storm was near latitude 24.5 north, longtitude 55.5 west, or about 675 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles.

That was precisely the same position the storm held six hours earlier.

Satellite pictures indicated Barry became nearly stationary during the night, forecasters said. Some strengthening was expected before tonight, but the storm's steering currents have diminished and its movement was expected to be slow and erratic.

Barry, which had been moving northwest, turned sharply to the north Wednesday night and posed no immediate threat to land, said forecaster Hal Gerrish at the National Hurricane Center in suburban Coral Gables.

The storm formed as a depression earlier this week off west Africa. It became the Atlantic hurricane season's second named storm when its maximum sustained winds reached 39 mph Wednesday.

If winds reach 74 mph, it would become the first hurricane of the June- November season.

The season's first named storm was Allison, which caused widespread flood damage in Texas and Louisiana last month.

[Laboratory]

(A computer screen says Stand By, apparatus is scattered around, and a young man has his head down on a table, snoring)

RIKER [OC]: Riker to Ensign Crusher.

WESLEY: Go ahead.

[Bridge]

RIKER: Forget to set your alarm, Wesley?

WESLEY [OC]: Yes, sir.

[Laboratory]

WESLEY: I'm very sorry. I'll be right there. this.

Captain's log, Stardate 43125.8. We have entered a spectacular binary star system in the Kavis Alpha sector on a most critical mission of astro-physical research. Our eminent guest, Doctor Paul Stubbs, will attempt to study the decay of neutronium expelled at relativistic speeds by a massive stellar explosion which will occur here in a matter of hours.

[Bridge]

(Wesley dashes in and takes his seat)

RIKER: Ensign, our position.

WESLEY: Approaching one million kilometres from the neutron star, sir.

RIKER: Slow to one third impulse power.

STUBBS: (wearing the C24 equivalent of corduroy) Spectacular, isn't it, my young friend?

WESLEY: Yes sir.

STUBBS: Over and over again, the intense gravitational pull of the little neutron star sucks up the star material from the red giant, and it builds up on the surface until it explodes, every one hundred and ninety six years. Like clockwork. And it is but eighteen hours away.

DATA: Eighteen hours, seven minutes, and ten seconds, Doctor.

STUBBS: The interstellar counterpart to Earth's Old Faithful. The only predictable burst of energy in the universe that can accomplish our goal.

(Picard enters)

PICARD: Doctor Stubbs, if you would like to make one final inspection of the unit.

STUBBS: Captain, I've been inspecting the Egg for the last twenty years. You may lay it when ready.

PICARD: Begin launch sequence.

RIKER: Shuttlebay two, stand-by to launch the Egg.

[Shuttlebay]

CREWMAN: Standing by, Commander.

[Bridge]

DATA: Five minutes to launch site.

(There's a sudden jolt. Stubbs gets thrown against a bulkhead)

PICARD: Stabilise.

WESLEY: The ship isn't responding, sir.

PICARD: Engineering.

[Engineering]

PICARD [OC]: Report, Mister La Forge.

LAFORGE: Checking for failure of inertial dampeners. Instruments say they're working

[Bridge]

WORF: Captain, we're heading straight into the path of that stellar matter.

PICARD: Shields up.

WORF: Negative. The shields will not respond.

DATA: Thirty seconds to impact, sir.

PICARD: Manual override on shields.

WORF: Shields are rising.

RIKER: Reset dampeners.

[Engineering]

RIKER [OC]: Mister La Forge.

LAFORGE: Dampeners not responding.

[Bridge]

LAFORGE [OC]: Unable to reset.

PICARD: Reverse impulse engines.

[Engineering]

LAFORGE: Initiating reverse sequence, now.

[Bridge]

PICARD: Our momentum is still carrying us into the path of the stellar matter.

DATA: Twelve seconds to impact, sir.

RIKER: Prepare for impact. Medical personnel, report to the Bridge. Commander Data, check all systems.

DATA: All systems functioning normally, sir.

PICARD: Computer, explain control malfunction.

COMPUTER: No control malfunction has been recorded.

LAFORGE: Call up the cross-section of computer core processor four five one. I want to see elements zero two hundred through zero three hundred.

CREWMAN: Aye, sir.

LAFORGE: In order to get some power, I had to by-pass the computer core. Essentially hotwire the connection. Whoa, whoa, right there. Look at that lesion. No wonder we're coming apart at the seams. It's definitely some kind of continuing disintegration, but from what I can't tell you. And I haven't the slightest idea how to stop it.

WESLEY: It's just a mechanical problem, though, right?

STUBBS: The Egg that Stubbs laid.

WESLEY: No one will say that.

STUBBS: Nobody will say anything at all, Wesley. We will not even be mentioned. I could live with failure. Well, maybe not. But never even to try. To miss your one chance at bat. Do you know baseball?

WESLEY: Yes, my father taught it to me when I was young.

STUBBS: Once, centuries ago, it was the beloved national pastime of the Americas, Wesley. Abandoned by a society that prized fast food and faster games. Lost to impatience. But I have seen the great players make the great plays.

WESLEY: Do you recreate them on a holodeck?

STUBBS: No. In here. (his head) With the knowledge of statistics, runs, hits and errors, times at bat, box scores. Men like us do not need holodecks, Wesley. I have played seasons in my mind. It was my reward to myself for patience. Knowing my turn would come. Call your shot. Point to a star. One great blast and the crowd rises. A brand new era in astrophysics. Postponed one hundred and ninety six years on account of rain.

The traffic is approaching head-on,|ultra-bright and really moving.
And right by us! Right now!|Now that was really close.
Air East 31 is out of 340....
Ask if they want to report officially.
TWA 517, do you want to report a UFO?|Over.
TWA 517, do you want to report a UFO?|Over.
Negative. We don't want to report.
Air East 31 ,|do you wish to report a UFO? Over.
Negative. We don't want|to report one either.
Air East 31 , do you wish to file a|report of any kind? Over.
I wouldn't know what kind|of report to file, Centre.
Air East 31 , me neither.
I'll try to track traffic|to destination, over.
Barry?
Honey?

BLUE OYSTER CULT


"(Don't Fear) The Reaper"

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain... we can be like they are
Come on baby... don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand... don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly... don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

La la la la la
La la la la la

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity... Romeo and Juliet
40, 000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and Juliet
40, 000 men and women everyday... Redefine happiness
Another 40, 000 coming everyday... We can be like they are
Come on baby... don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand... don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly... don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

La la la la la
La la la la la

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared... saying don't be afraid
Come on baby... and she had no fear
And she ran to him... then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye... she had become like they are
She had taken his hand... she had become like they are
Come on baby... don't fear the reaper
