Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Cookie Crisp stared blankly at her computer, occasionally blowing away a stray few locks of her dark brown hair that would fall down over her face. She brushed her hands across the keyboard, rapidly typing away, her milky white skin blending into the similar color of the keyboard, and her bright blue eyes quickly skimming over the screen, taking in every utterly boring detail with perfect clarity.
"I'm telling you Di, there's nothing on Mars, it's just rocks, rocks, and hmm, and I missing something.... Oh yeah, more friggin' rocks," she frustratedly monologued to what seemed to be thin air. "Honestly, why are we sitting here sending these rovers back and forth. Not like we're gonna find some ancient ruins or anything; this isn't Huggs Field, it's real life."
"Huh, what's that? Sorry, I was running some background simulations," came the bubblier than normal voice of the Paradiamond AI currently connected to her computer.
Cookie Crisp sighed and replied, "It's nothing, just a thought. Anything exciting happening with you?"
The computer's screen once more took on a violet tint as 'Di' spoke back, her voice as ear-piercingly bubbly and high pitched as ever. "Not really, I just cracked the secret to warp drive, but that's not important. So, back to rock watching?"
Cookie nodded. "Yea, whatever, let's just... Wait, WHAT!?"
2 months later...
"No."
"But..."
"I don't care if you MARRY every Space Trek series, we are NOT naming Earth's first warp drive starship 'Enterprise'."
"Awww dang it..."
Huggs Field is a trilogy of action RPGs by VivoWare noted for their rich world building, impactful choices, and disappointing conclusion, starring one Commander Shepherd.
Paradiamond systems that can pass the Turing test are more than a few years away from when most of these shorts are taking place. (Of course, the local equivalent is the Turnip test. He wasn't treated any better in that world. )

Poor Turin (Turnip). He helps decoding the enigma machine, makes the basic theories of computing, and the Turin test. The British authorities were idiots.
Honestly, if NASA, or anyone else, manages to crack warp drive, I would be completely surprised if the first FTL capable ship isn't named Enterprise. Bonus points if they sneak 1701 on there somehow.
If a real ship was named Enterprise, I don't see why not that one.
7770248 As an australian I have to say.
Well they are the bloody pops aren't they?
PBS Space Time did a thing or two on the alcubierre warp drive. Think they where going to be doing lab tests of the engine. Since they figured out how to reduce the ridiculous energy needs to something actually doable.

Depending on the size of the warp drive involved, they could always mount it on the First Space Shuttle; the one used for system tests that never actually flew.
Care to guess the name of that shuttle?
Yes, they named it after the ship from Star Trek. Absolutely no one was surprised...

The fictional one was named after the real one(s), if I remember my trivia correctly. Several ships have had that name, but the most famous were an aircraft carrier that saw a lot of combat against the Imperial Japanese Navy (more than any other ship, according to Wikipedia) and the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. There were six other ships in the American navy before them to have that name.
Honestly, of the AI was such a fan, the first warp-capable vehicle should be named The Phoenix.
Could be worse. Could have named it the Yamato.
Or the Argo, in the Whinnyinglish dub.
There is absolutely no reason NOT to name it the Enterprise. It's one of the most battle-honored and otherwise honored ship names in U.S. history.

Yes!
Meep the Changeling reference FTW!
Finally figured out the title reference! Zefram Cochrane
