The screen turns on, a scene of Lunya sitting back in her desk chair in her quarters. She is rubbing the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed
Begin Captain’s Log, Stardate 99576.6.
She pauses, but continues after a moment, as her eyes open and she looks towards the viewer
Where to begin? It’s been a while since I’ve kept up with a log, with the retirement of the old Midway, the finishing of construction on the new, our shakedown, and everything. But perhaps, I will start with our new transfers…
Matthew Flynn…I like him. He seems driven, smart, and really does know the insides and outs of this ship. Hell, he helped me get her hanger modifications approved and started, and we’ve even begun discussing a possible upgrade to our torpedo launchers. Our trip to Risa seemed to bring him out of his shell a bit, and I heaaaaar he even got to participate in some…well, lets just say he enjoyed Risa! I look forward to what he can do with this ship, and I think she’s in good hands with him down in engineering. Hopefully he proves me right!
She smirked slightly
Then, there’s our new sensors Lieutenant, Lalaa Drush. I really don’t know what to expect of her. She’s the first Orion I have had command over, and I can’t remember the last I served with. To say she’s been peculiar, is a bit of an understatement. She did well in our tactical drill, but then practically vanished on Risa, and when we got back ship side she was completely sleep deprived. One has to wonder what she got up to. Actually no scratch that, I’m not going to wonder what an Orion woman got up to while on Risa. But I had to have Doctor T’Lera come to my ready room where the Lieutenant was, and have her brought to sickbay to make sure she would get some sleep! I’ve been told she was sedated and hopefully that will solve that problem. I need to keep an eye on her. I have hopes for her, but trust? I just don’t know.
She pauses a moment, looking at something on her desk that she moves aside
Then there’s Kora zh’Vhenda. Our new security chief. She transferred to us just as we were about to leave Risa, and her interview was…unique. She’s definitely assertive, I’d say near arrogant in what she showed me in the interview, but sometimes that’s needed in a position that really can’t back down from confrontation. Though the report of her having punched her first commanding officer, is mildly concerning. She did help with the Lalaa situation last night, but I heard she had to be told NOT to stun the woman by the doc. Yeah, we’ll work on that…
She sits up a bit, leaning in
I’m not thrilled with this convoy assignment that we’re enroute to. The last minute changes, the typical lack of information from Starfleet Intelligence, and this sensor ghost that Malta is tracking. A lot is not adding up here, and I’m hoping that this is just a bunch of coincidences, but one should not always believe in those right?
She stands up, pushing the chair in, dressed in a t-shirt and what looked like runners pants
For now, I’m headed to the holodeck to work off some of this stress. Sometimes just being able to run, and not think about all of this, tends to help. Right?
She smiled
Next Captain’s log will be after the convoy escort is complete.
End Log Entry…
The screen pops out to black
