³Breaking News²

Long flowing black hair with purple highlights framed a pale face and bright
blue eyes. The young woman looked up from a padd and right into the floating
camera that hovered a few feet away at just the right distance. A small
square just under the camera lens counted down the seconds before the video
feed went live all across the Federation on the BBC¹s newsnets.
 
When the green light appeared on the camera the young woman smiled. ³The
atmosphere here on Deep Space Vega Prime has been a solemn one ever since
the disappearance of the Federation starship, U.S.S Banshee-C several months
ago.²
 
There was a crowd of other reports behind the dark haired young woman whose
English accent was crisp, proper, and very posh. There was a podium just
beyond the crowd with an official Starfleet logo on it. Behind the podium
was a Federation flag. The whole thing was set up just outside the offices
of the Pathfinder II Project. ³There has been no word on what happened to
Banshee, at least not officially. The only information give to the media was
that the ship was lost in the area of space known as the Bad Lands, and that
Admiral Sara Kaelyre of Starfleet Command was heading up the so named
Pathfinder II Project. That is, until recently. Early this morning the mood
on Deep Space Vega Prime shifted drastically, and then an hour ago the media
was asked to gather for a press conference.²
 
As the reporter finished speaking an older human woman with auburn hair
streaked with silver, more silver than had been there a few months ago, and
sporting the uniform of an admiral stepped up to the podium. ³May I have
your attention please.² She paused while everyone and every recording device
in the room focused on her. ³I am Admiral Sara Kaelyre, commanding officer
of the Pathfinder II Project. I¹m going to make a brief statement, but no
questions at this time.²
 
The admiral paused as she tried to school her features, but she just could
quite keep the smile off her lips. ³At 2247 hours Federation standard time
yesterday, Lt. Commander Jaidev LeBeau and his team of engineers and
scientists aboard the U.S.S Tempest and U.S.S. Fenchurch received a single
using a devise that the Commander and his team have been working on for
months. That single was confirmed as being from the U.S.S. Banshee-C.²
 
Whispers , gasps, and other mumblings filling the crowd, but Sara went on.
³Using this device as well as the one responsible for Banshee¹s
disappearance, LeBeau and his team were able to work with teams aboard
Banshee, headed by Lieutenant James McEntire and Lieutenant Li Nalas Kabuki,
to create a stable wormhole. At 0007 hours Federation standard time this
morning, stardate 62448.4, old Earth date December 25th, 24**, the U.S.S
Banshee-C 110611, emerged through that wormhole. They¹ve come home.²
 
The buzz in the room erupted and as reporters began throwing questions at
her, the Admiral stepped away from the podium and ducked back into her
offices. 
 
The hovering camera focused once again on the young woman with dark, purple
streaked hair. She blinked several times before finally looking into the
camera. ³Months of heartache and worry have come to an end, and on today of
all days. The U.S.S. Banhsee-C has been found. t is indeed a very Merry
Christmas throughout the Federation. Sarah Braddock reporting for the BBC,
live on Deep Space Vega Prime.²
