Original subtitles

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem.

Life is real!

Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;

Dust thou dost, to dust returnest,

Was not spoken of the soul.

The deepest wound,

the most acute pain,

is the loss of a comrade.

We served together,

allied in desire, and goal.

Bound together in spirit,

and in purpose,

Kindred, and so kin.

As we renew our vessel,

let us renew our commitment to one another.

And to the memories of those who have completed,

their mortal journey.

As we do so humbly endure ours.

They must continue to remind us,

That humanity's strength is in its courage.

The profundity of its spirit

and the resilience of its will.

It is in these memories,

we dedicate our continuing voyages.

[Boson's whistle]

[Trumpet plays "Taps"]

It is with deep sadness,

and proud honor

That we gather here today to remember our fallen comrades.

with solemn distinction

I know posthumously bestow the Starfleet medal of honor

and silver palm

to Commander Anthony DeGregorio [Star Trek Phase II film crew]

Lt. John Olson [Star Trek Phase II film crew]

Lt. R.L. Dickerson [Enemy Starfleet, chief of security]

Lt. Mikhail Hodel [Blood and Fire, Engineer]

and Lt. Alexander Freemann. [Blood and Fire, medical technician]

Their service,

their dedication.

their bravery above and beyond the call of duty shall forever remain testament to the Starfleet

and the Enterprise.

Please stand for a moment of silence.

As a crew, there is nothing so raw, as the ceremony we have just concluded.

In our next duty, there are few things as exhilarating.

Awaiting us is our mission.

The unknown.

The unexplored.

We are the Drake's, the Magellan's

the Archer's of our time.

The frontier awaits us.

We'll meet it, together.

Much work has been done in the past three weeks.

Mr. Scott and his staff have worked non-stop with the engineers of Starbase IV.

To restore to us, our vessel.

Fresh sails unfurled.

The time has come

for our journey to begin anew.

Complement:

prepare to make way.

Good job, Jim.

Thank you, admiral.

Excuse me.

Captain, good to see you again.

Captain Garth, looking well, sir.

Good to have you back.

It feels good to be back. I'm sorry for your loses, Jim.

You've got a good crew

and I owe it to them and to you, to be here.

We're honored, sir.

Your orders, Captain.

Respectfully, sir, I've requested a non-patrol mission.

And command took your request into consideration, Jim.

Some did, some didn't.

Concern is, Enterprise is understaffed.

By how many?

Twenty-two, sir.

Twenty-two, not two hundred, although I believe the admiral let the CNC know that.

Jim, Enterprise is understaffed and your people have been doing double watch since hitting dock.

A long range exploratory mission now...

...is exactly what this crew needs.

Something to excite the blood.

With many untested new systems.

We'll test them in action.

This new experimental engine design, if successful is slated to be a permanent refit on the Enterprise,

as well as the rest of the fleet. However, command wants to test it close to home.

Bob, you have the authority to change these orders.

I just gave a speech about walking into the unknown.

Like Drake and Magellan. We're ready to...

Go boldly!

Go, get out of here before I change my mind.

I never had a doubt.

[Radio] Enterprise, this is dock control, you are cleared for departure.

[Arex] Captain on the bridge.

Mr. Spock

Captain.

Mr. Scott.

We're ready, sir.

Phase I tests show that she is exceeding all design expectations.

Then let's begin Phase II.

[Arex] We are free and clear to navigate.
