The New Kid in Town. . . . .

The dark haired man approached the podium and adjust the microphone to his 5’ 11” frame. The dark blue suit he wore was tailor made and fit his well-defined physique perfectly. His dark Betazoid eyes (a trait from his mother), scanned the crowd before he began to speak.

His voice was clear and strong, with a hint of a Scots brogue he was trying to cover so the universal translator would have an easier time understanding his diction.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the press, fiends, colleagues, honored guests and distinguished luminaries, my name is Dr. Conner Locksley, former head of Locksley Industries Research Department. It brings me grrrreat honor tae share this information with ye today.”

“For those of you that are unfamiliar with Locksley Industries, this family business was founded in the early 21st century by my ancestors. It started oot as an archery supply business, producing our own brand of bows, arrows, and equipment tae be used for both hunting and archery competitions. The business soon expanded into camping and outdoor sporting equipment, with the backbone still being our bows. As years went by, Locksley partnered with Starfleet to develop survival equipment to use on its ships, in newly established colonies and exploration areas, and survival kits which you can now find as standard equipment of every Starfleet fighter craft. We have a long and successful partnership with Starfleet and today tha’ partnership takes another step toward making the Federation an better place to live.”

“Behind me, underneath this giant holographic dome, we have been building a new research and development facility. A facility designed to improve everyday life for the Federation an’ its citizens. These advances include medicine, food production, technology, and engineering to just name a few.”

The blue dome began to coalesce and form pictures of people. “We have gathered some of the greatest minds from the scientific and medical communities of the myriad Federation members to work with us and take us into the next century. It is my great pleasure to introduce a subsidiary of Locksley Industries, and a bright new beacon of R&D facilities. . . . Archer Technological Enterprises!”

The blue dome faded away to reveal a brand new glass & chrome building, 9 stories high and slightly over 500,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility.

Conner turned back around to face the crowd with a wie smile on his face. “At this time, I’d be more than happy yae answer any questions from the pres. . . . “
