For
eight years I’ve had it on my resume, right there under “Specialties”,
right after ping pong…ready and able to Leap…but alas, no takers. I
had virtually given up hope when out of the blue, two old friends
(McCluggage and Hart, remember them??) made me an offer I suppose I could have
refused, but hey, when you get right down to
it, I mean scientifically speaking, how much difference is there between “Leaping” and “transporting”
(assuming we get it working right…).

Feeling
this was probably the closest I would get to
fulfilling the void left by Q.L., I met with Mr. Berman and Mr. Braga, and
finding them to be accessible, dedicated, easy-going
gentlemen; finding the character, J.A., to be challenging, emotional, loyal, and brash; and finding the pilot script to be
delightful, intricate, rich, spooky, and full of promise, I thought:
“well, what the heck, might as well take the….”
Of course, you know the rest!

So
here I am…on the bridge…waiting!
Where
are all of you…?
Will
you get on board and make the journey with me?
I hope so! All you need to
know is that the year is 2151 and you’ll be flying
with the first Captain on the first Starship and I promise to take good care of you!
See
you out there!
