  1. I am choosing a chapter member because they are the majority in the Starfleet club. If you didn't have the members Starfleet wouldn't exist or at least wouldn't be as successful. I also wanted to choose this person instead of someone with higher power because I want to get info on things the authorities wouldn't know about.

    Questions:
    - How much do you talk about Startrek?
    - What do you guys do at meetings?
    - What kind of regional conventions happen and have you been to any?
    - How many people are in your chapter?
    - What do you think Starfleets mission is?
    - What do you think Starfleets values are?
    - Do you think that Starfleet has helped you in your life and if it has how?
    - How much contact do you have with other chapters?
    - What are some phrases a Starfleet member would understand but an outsider wouldn’t?
    - Do you think the club is still as active even though the Star Trek movies are over?
