ME SIR, I'D LIKE TO VOLUNTEER
--Lt. David Bailey, the Corbomite Maneuver
Notice:
It is with
deepest regret
that we report the death of Lieutenant David Bailey (2240-2267) while
on indefinite goodwill assignment to the First Federation. The cause of
death was reported as accidental, complicated by unknowingly improper
medical care.
The case is
under investigation as possible vivisection.
During his
short career, Lt. Bailey served aboard the France, the Perpetual, the Hood, and the Enterprise,
receiving numerous special citations. Whatever the coroner's verdict,
it is clear that Lt. Bailey unhesitatingly offered his life to further
Starfleet's primary mission of understanding other cultures.
He will be
awarded the Medal of Honor (posth).
