As the log loads up Fiona's face comes into focus in her ready room aboard the Helios, with a small grin on her face.
Personal Log - Stardate 93101.1
Right...as of 2300 hours, ship time, we are on final approach for DS13 and our new posting...good to be getting back out here.
Stands up to walk around in front of the camera a bit, as she does this the rest of her comes into view in her standard duty uniform, as she walks off screen a few times still talking.
As I mentioned in my last log before departure, we still have a fresh crew, not even a full year since graduation but they seem a good bunch and worst case my senior staff is all still from the original crew when I was first assigned as X.O.
She pauses mid-stride as she thinks about this.
It feels so long ago now, I was only promoted last year, my word... She trails off as the intercom beeps Computer pause recording. As the recording resumes. Right, that's us about to begin our final approach with DS13 so I will see whoever is watching these next time. Computer end recording.

As the log loads up, Fiona's face comes into focus aboard the Helios, as she comes into focus she looked tired and worn weary slightly.
Well, that was fun....giant ants...why did it have to be giant ants of all things...
Lightly running her hand through her hair
We beamed down to a planet to look for some missing colonists but all we found was blood and giant ants and more giant ants...well you know my dislike for regular ants never mind giant ants.
Yea, so I was in charge of the away team sent down to investigate, with a Doctor, a Counselor and an Engineer. When we got down...well It will all be in the AAR anyway...
As she stands up, to walk around the room.
Talking about the AAR I should probably start writing that up soon...oh I wish something would come, I hate writing reports...

As the log loads up, Fiona comes into view aboard the Helios, as she comes into focus she looks somewhat worse for wear, her hair is disheveled and such.
Well, that was fun...the entire station was put to yellow alert when a Klingon battle group crossed into Federation space. To counter this, the Helios along with all other available ships were launched to intercept and attempt to stop them...When we got there though not everything was a simple as it seemed, there was a second Klingon fleet in pursuit of the first. Apparently, the first fleet had gone rogue.
Our group leader attempted to hail them when we arrived before we were engaged by the first fleet when it split off into multiple sections. At this point the Helios had formed up with the Endeavour and the Hellas, we held back from the fight slightly to be able to intercept any ships if needed. Which it was at the lead of the first Klingon fleet broke off with a smaller group to try and get to the nearby system upon which our three ships moved to intercept....and this is starting to sound more and more like an AAR, hey it might save me some time at least then.
Our crew performed well during the battle, I'm proud of them, I admit I may have had my doubts before about how they would hold up but I can say those doubts have been put to rest, just can't let them become overconfident now. Our medical team is lucky at least aboard the Helios, only a few minor injuries, a few slightly more severe from the response teams we sent to the Vanguard when it had been boarded. I feel sorry for the Vanguard and her crew, a bomb detonated mid beam out inflicting casualties and damage in their engineering section.
Luckily, the Helios isn't too severely damaged just a few minor repairs needed for her, she did well in her first proper fight after her refits. Shouldn't be long and we will be back at 100%. Now I should probably actually write my AAR...going to be fun.

As the log loads up, Fiona comes into focus, standing slightly back from her console lightly stretching.
Good news today, the Helios has received her squadron posting to Taurus Squadron. Should probably make my official introduction to Captain Konieczko, my squadron CO, when I get the chance. Been rather quiet after the incident with the Klingon's, not much has happened with the Helios...Got my standing orders now though, so at least we can get back out there.
Rather a short log, not much to really record.

As the log loads up and Fiona comes into focus with her hair hanging loose, framing her face with a few loose strands hanging across her forehead. In the background, the sound of a shower can be heard.
"Ahh, it's good to catch up with Keri...well before I continue I should probably mention that Keri has just been reassigned to the Helios after she decided she wanted to skive..."
As Fiona says this another voice can be heard from the shower "I can still hear you! And I was not skiving I was on medical leave."
"That would be Keri, but aye I've missed working with her, already planning chaos like the old days back on Earth...Oh, we would drive my mum mad."
The sound of shower stopped as she was talking, shortly followed by the sound of a door opening"You know what, you are actually right for once, the CO's shower does feel better than the XO's."
"See, I told you so. Anyway, pass over the nameday whiskey, second shelf. Time to fully welcome you back to me."
The sound of glasses clinking together slightly before a whiskey bottle was passed in front of the camera as Keri leans forwards close to Fi as she does so. "Wait just one moment...Computer end log."

Spoiler: 17/18JUL2416 (RED ALERT)Show
*Video log starts, Fiona is on the bridge of the Helios as they arrive at the edge of the Visuvu system.*
Fi - “Captain's Log, we have just reached the edge of the Visuvu system…”
OPS- “Captain, multiple ships dropping out of warp, I count 5, no 8, no ten ships captain. They are locking weapons!”
Fi - “Shields up, Red alert! Attempt to hail them.”
*As the red alert sirens start to play*
COM - “They are not responding to hails captain.”
*As the ship suddenly rocks as the pirates open fire*
TAC - “Hull breaches on decks 4 and 5! Shields holding!”
Fi - “Return fire, all maximum weapons spread. Helm get us out of here!”
Helm - “Aye aye, plotting course for the asteroid belt.”
*The ship lurches as it takes a hit as it jumps to warp.*
Fi - “Status report?”
ENG - “We can’t go to warp the hit as we jumped fused the coils, it would take a starbase days to fix it.”
TAC - “We are down to 90% weapon and shield power.”
COM - “I’m sorry captain, but they have knocked out long range comms.”
OPS - “Contact in less than ten minutes!”
Fi - “Okay people we survived the Iconian war with this ship we can survive a bunch of pirates.”
*Recording resumes, +48 hours from Red alert being initialised, the bridge has taken massive damage with sparks flickering across the bridge along with flames, blood dripping down from Fiona’s temple.*
Fi - “Ops, Initiate a full-scale evacuation, we have to abandon ship.”
OPS - “Aye Aye captain. All hands, abandon ship, I say again all hands abandon ship.”
TAC - “Captain, what about you?”
Fi - “Someone has to buy you time.”
*As the ship starts to launch shuttle craft and escape pods, while security teams attempt to fight off the boarding parties.*
DC - “This is the Deathclaw to the Federation vessel, surrender yourself this is a no win scenario for you. Surrender.”
*Fiona can be seen moving across the Helm consoles as she needs to buy time for the escape ships*
Fi - “Well I’m sorry to tell you this, but I don’t believe in no win scenarios.”
*Fiona sits down in the Captain's chair as the space seat belts lock her in place as the engines fire as she goes to ram into the enemy ship from the warnings that can be heard.*
*As the Helios rams the enemy ship, the recording cuts out until it comes back with Fiona in a firefight on the bridge against the boarders as she is slowly forced back into her ready room where she seals the outer and inner door against them. As she sits down at her desk, phase pistol next to her as she pulls out her locket holding it close. As a massive explosion rips through the sip throwing her across the room.*
“Ahh, they appear to have had enough of us now...this is my final log as I doubt I will live past tonight. If anyone finds this log, can you please tell my daughter and my fiancee that I am sorry. I held for as long as I could hoping help would come but…”
*The log ends as the inner door is blown in as the pirates storm the room.*
