<br />

San Fransisco shipyard was preparing the USS Victory's departure. As stated above, ETD is stardate 237603.29. On stardate 237602.19 the skeleton crew was schedulded to verify all bridge stations and liaise with engineering to ensure the engines readiness.

The Lieutenant Commander's daughter Telice SHAGAN was sitting in the captain's chair when we arrived.

<br /><br />

<br />

Telice SHAGAN approached ambassador T'ROK while we were discussing the topic stated above. According to Ensign Felix LOP, Telice SHAGAN stated the ambassador species in a loud manner. The ambassador then introduced himself and T.SHAGAN followed suit.  

The ambassador appeared to be greatly offended by this statement and walked off the bridge, requesting that I accompany him back outside the ship so he could return to his quarters, without visiting the ship. Lieutenant Commander offered an apology. Ambassador T'ROK rebuffed it and stated that Telice SHAGAN was a poor example of Terran misconduct. Mr SHAGAN strongly reacted to this statement but I ordered him to stand down. I also ordered the Lieutenant Commander to wait for me at the ship's entrance so we could discuss the incident.

<br /><br />

<br />

After bringing ambassador T'ROK and the two Vulcan relations officers outside the ship I briefly discussed the events with Mr SHAGAN. Telice SHAGAN's motivations remain unclear but it was felt that the girl did not mean to offend the Vulcan ambassador. Lieutenant Commander SHAGAN also informed me that this was the girl's first encounter with a Vulcan.

We then separated.

<br /><br />

<br />

On the whole the incident was minor according to Terran standards, but based on previous offenses to Vulcan posture and speech and given the species eidetic memory, it appears that this incident might have direct consequences on the relations between the Vulcan relations office on Earth and the Vulcan home world.

It is believed that Vulcans may refuse further visit of Earth facilities based on this incident.

<br /><br />

<br />

It is recommended that Vulcan office relations balance the Vulcan council opinion on Terran education by presenting it with outstanding examples of students achievement, if possible with Starfleet Academy.

<br /><br />

<br />

None. In short, Telice SHAGAN according to Mr SHAGAN did not mean to offend the Vulcan ambassador, and it is to be noted that the Lieutenant Commander offered a apology.

<br /><br />

<br />

The incident will be recorded on the USS Victory's pre-departure log.
