Great.  Engineering?
Yessir, we've downloaded their onboard diagnostics.


  It's a rare but known problem with this class of cargo vessel.  The company distributed an advisory last time we were at Space Dock.  
So, can you fix it?


Some of the best minds in Stellar Ships, Inc. put together a complete write up
of the problem, the history, case files of the problems, the quick fix, the full fix...
...and all but the proprietary data in the construction of each ship of the line, serial number by serial number, and a recorded interview with the technicians that installed the faulty hardware.


With a little luck, we maybe able to figure it out.
Good job.  Anyone else?

   Sir, I've been researching the political implications.
I think you should be aware that there
are no greatly important persons or vital
technology aboard.
  Failure to complete this mission will
have no chance of destabilizing the
balance of power
 in this quadrant. 


 Thanks.  I guess we're about ready, then. 
Cue the music!


Music? 
The tension-building background music!


Uh, Kirk-thing, we don't play background
 music on Starfleet missions...
They never play the right
music on this ship...

TWO HOURS LATER:
Okay, people, that's a wrap.  Problem fixed, injuries attended to, ship on its way again, no threat to all life onboard...  Just what Starfleet pays us to do.  Did we forget anything?
Call that a rescue?
No shootouts, no women, no fight
scenes, no defeating advanced races...
...no music.
Yes, sir.  You'd better return to Sickbay to get your
 alien disguise prosthetics removed.
This is my real face, Ensign.

Uh, Lieutenant, sir.
Wanna bet?
