Summary
Christopher Stafford has just been made Captain, and is en route to pick up his new ship with friend and Chief Engineer Simon Jeffrey. Unfotunately he gets a nasty surprise when he finds out he's been promoted to command the USS Silverado, an antique Ambassador class starship that has been recomissioned under the new Operation Salvage.
Meeting his religious nutcase Doctor, Noel Wowryk, the scary tactical officer Commander T'Parief, dumb blonde helm officer Trish Yannick and grating Operations Officer San Jall, Stafford sets about completing the ship's refitting. Facing an up-hill task including outdated and deficient weaponry and constantly flushing toilets, Stafford's problems are compounded when a computer glitch sends the ship hurtling through time.
In order to return to their own time the crew must establish what date they have arrived at. Stafford, Wowryk and Jall beam down to 21st century Canada, where they eventually spot the date on a restaurant's specials board. Running low on fuel Jeffrey jury rigs the ship into performing a slingshot maneuver around the sun. Succesfully returning to their own timeline, the Silverado is found by the USS Secondprize, who tow them back to their repair station.
