Thank you. Before we join the fleet, I want to make sure this upgrade does what it says on the proverbial tin.

Now, activate the Excelsior’s Decloaking Deflector ability to reveal the enemy ships in this system. Just have those phasers armed when you do!

Well, we’re still here, Mr Tuvok! I’d call that a successful test.

Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to see if this new deflector can do more than just clear rocks out of our path. Lojur, set a course for Indaego.

That is the end of the log, Commander – save for the addendum Captain Sulu made, which we have already heard.

Given the information about cloaked Klingon, Romulan, and Federation ships working together, which required unique upgrades to the Excelsior, these evidently weren’t standard vessels.

It is possible that the scanning beam from the Klingon ship, as with the one we encountered ourselves from the Romulan vessel, was in fact non-destructive, unlike the historical V’ger’s scans.

Such a device could have been used by either party to produce a replica of the U.S.S. Excelsior, which then crashed on the cold surface of Tokona – perhaps destroyed by the real Excelsior itself.

Though to what end they would require a replica starship and crew, I do not know.

Dialogue
The alternative is that it was the real Excelsior that crashed, with no survivors – and that the ship warping around the galaxy right now is a facsimile, right down to its captain and crew.

Though if that is the case, then starship maintenance and medical examinations will soon uncover the truth. Perhaps we shall see for ourselves, the next time we meet Captain Sulu.

Oh my!… It works. It actually works! And were those… V’ger vessels?

Sir, a Klingon Battle Cruiser just decloaked near the planet Tokona.

Did we hit it with the deflector?

Negative. But it is probing us with an invasive scan.

Then what are we waiting for? Target that vessel. Full steam ahead!

Captain’s log, stardate 9775.2. It seems I am now the master of a much-upgraded vessel. But before we take her out into the field, we’re taking her for a little shakedown run.

A journey of this magnitude should be sufficient, to verify that our new navigational deflector is still able to perform its essential functions.
