Story:Star Trek: Infinite Voyages/Launch

Summary
It seems that the preparations for the launch of the new Nova-class starship the USS Pioneer are finally nearing completion. If only the same could be said for her crew.

With mechanical problems with a transport shuttle at Starbase 5 holding up three department heads and the larger part of the medical staff and a controversial first officer who seems determined to delay his arrival to the last possible moment, Captain Tobias Quinton, commanding officer, is beginning to wonder if they'll ever get underway.

The problems don't stop when the missing personnel arrive, however. Infighting between certain members of the senior staff mars their first few days together, but at the same time, numerous friendships are forming.
