well as a kid I was always facinated by wizards and witches in books, so I think I'll go see if any of those books are on file..........

yes sir. holding position

*walks back towards his quarters from the holodeck*  *as soon as he enters his quarters he checks his watch* hmm.............an hour till I'm on duty.  enough time for dinner and a book.  *walks to the replicator* Spaghetti and meatballs.  *the dish materializes utensils and all*  *sits at the table and starts to ear while reading his book*

I'm fine sir, I was just on my way to the holodeck with my free time.............with your permission of course

Right away sir, course and speed set.

*enters his quarters and puts on wizards robes and hat and heads to the holodeck*

*at the holodeck* Computer, list programs containing wizards and witches.

*the computer starts listing programs*

hmm...................Quiddich...........Computer run program Q-1.

Computer: Enter when ready

*enters and finds himself in some stands.  Sits in his seat and takes out his binoculars and watches the match*

Aye sir. Probe launched.  *few minutes later* the probe has cleared the nebula and is transmitting the message.

yes sir. *gets out of the chair and heads to the turbolift and goes to his quarters*

Aye Aye sir.  *taps a few buttons and the ship moves into the nebula*

Yes sir, setting course for the edge of the nebula. *the ship moves to the edge of the nebula*

*holds the ship steady so the science people can get a good reading*

(OFF: hehe............guess you saw the movie/read the books to huh?)

Yes sir, that would be cool.  I look forward to it

With all due respect sir, I don't think leaving a couple of shuttles behind would be a good idea.  Any number of things could go wrong with that.  First of all, we don't know much about this nebula, and secondly  they would be easy pickings for any hostile aliens or life forms.

Request permission to go aboard the station sir.

Moving towards the unknown station. 1/4 impulse.
