because I'm 14.
I'll be 15 in June.

:06:02
Another year after that,
I'll be getting my license.

:06:05
It's the Roddenberry.
:06:06
I wish it could fly.
I'm ready to go to another planet.

:06:08
I'll tell you that much.
:06:09
Gabriel: Obviously,
someone never grew out of the 1960s.

:06:11
Y eah. I spent a lot of time
in vans, that's for sure.

:06:15
We're going to put
a laser beam on the front

:06:17
so when we're driving
on a foggy day,

:06:19
we can shoot, like,
a 1,000-foot beam.

:06:28
My name is Lieutenant Commander
Barbara Adams.

:06:30
I'm commanding officer
of the U.S.S. Artemis,

:06:32
which is the Little Rock unit
of the Federation Alliance.

:06:36
I'm here at the sci-fi
convention in Boston,

:06:38
where Federation Alliance
has brought some of our things up here.

:06:42
I've come because a lot of people have
shown a lot of interest in what I did

:06:46
in going to the trial
in my uniform.

:06:49
I was selected, summoned for the jury
for the Whitewater trial

:06:54
in Little Rock, Arkansas.
:06:55
We've had a lot of curious people
asking about the organization

:06:58
and also looking into my drawings,
which I do as sort of a hobby.

:07:02
I studied graphic design,
and I enjoy drawing,

:07:06
and I also enjoy drawing
the Star Trek people.

:07:09
One of our charters
in the Federation Alliance
is to perform community service,

:07:14
and as commanding officer,
I'm the role model for my crew,

:07:18
and so I felt it was necessary and a
good decision for me to wear my uniform.

:07:24
For more than a week, everybody's seen
the picture of Barbara Adams...

:07:28
And each morning, there seemed
to be more and more reporters

:07:31
because they were waiting to see
if I was going to come in my uniform,

:07:34
and it got to the point
where there was just a wall
of cameras, tripods, reporters,

:07:38
and I would literally have
to walk all the way around them
just to get to the door

:07:42
because they would not move.
:07:44
It just got ridiculous.
:07:45
My brother had a picture of her
on our refrigerator for two months

:07:49
walking out of the courtroom
in Arkansas.

:07:51
Adams: And one of the newspapers
had reported that every day,

:07:53
I would walk past the reporters
with a Vulcan-like stoicism.

:07:57
Wow!
:07:58
So, they don't know how close
they actually hit the mark,
