Starbase 87

Riker charts course to Starbase 87 as the Enterprise clears Boraal Two's orbit, shifting the crew from helpless witness to the planet's atmospheric collapse toward Starfleet procedure. The station's docking rings fill navigation displays, its command decks primed for mission debriefs and resupply. Crew braces for sterile corridors alive with ops chatter and administrative hum—a routine harbor processing the Prime Directive's moral toll.
