The Call of En Son

"The Call of En Son", or simply "The Call", was the name given by the Enderprizians to the distress call sent by Ensign Garrovick, known to them as "En Son", following his crash landing on their homeworld around 2268. Prior to his death, Garrovick promised that his distress call would be answered, which it eventually was, over a century later in 2384, by the crew of the USS Protostar.

The message stated in part:

"This is Ensign Garrovick of the USS Enterprise. This'll be my final call to Starfleet... [...] Hoping you'll come, though I've long given up that anyone'll hear it. Hope's a funny thing, isn't it? I tried to do my duty, salvaged what I could from the wreck, went to save the locals from the danger. Before I fell to my injuries. But then, they welcomed me, healed me, gave me hope when I had none. In the end, they were the ones who saved me."

The final part of his message was heard after a falling dilithium crystal activated the communications console on his shuttlecraft. It played over the speakers of both the Galileo and the Protostar. (PRO: "All the World's a Stage")
