The producer explains, this "was a project filmed and edited within the 2020/2021 Lockdowns of the United Kingdom. Throughout the time at home I was inspired to create again, I knew I needed to create again. So I wrote a story which, while small in practical scope of only a few actors and few locations, was ambitious in visual scope and feel. I hope I have succeeded."

Description from production team: "Covid struck production of Trek Shorts in May 2021 and a scheduled filming day had to be changed on the fly. Because we lost Nimran but still had Marcus come to the studio, a brand new and unexpected short was written in his 2hr car journey to the studio and was subsequently filmed over that day. This is a bonus mini short for all the fans of the Trek Shorts project and brings back Marcus Churchill as Sam Harriman for the first time in front of cameras since 2013 and for the first time in a finished film since 2019."

Gorgeously produced, very decently acted vignette about a guy being bored on a shuttle for five minutes. Plays exactly as it sounds. Respect to the producers for putting something together on short notice! -James

Ensign Sam Harriman is being interviewed by Memory Alphas best reporter Katherine Archer about the events that lead up to the loss of the Enterprise D. This was a shock to us all and maybe through hearing Ensign Harriman's lower deck perspective can a better understanding be reached. The Enterprise D was a bastion of hope and symbol of the Federation. Its loss has shaken Starfleet and while the official reports are known, Sam Harriman was in engineering and saw the events in a unique way. He was there at Amagosa, he repaired damage from the Duras sisters and helped the saucer separation be a success despite the battle. Ensign Harriman was there from the start and now, with the Next Enterprise on the horizon Memory Alpha wants to focus on these events.
