21. "RE: (STO) peeking back in"
In response to message #20
Excerpted from a Starfleet Memo to ALL FLEET PERSONNEL
"Ship Captains are to remind their away teams that the maximum power setting on hand phasers (both the Mark 1 and Mark 2) is extremely wasteful of power and severely shortens the maintenance cycle. The Director, Starfleet Material Supply Command, has expressed concern over this issue."
Personal Addendum, Admiral Nogura to Admiral Kirk
"Jim, the SMSC Chief was literally frothing on this issue, and it wasn't pretty. Reign your men in. We can't keep going 'We come in peace; shoot to kill.'"
