Stardate: 47022.1 The test of the warp fatigue compensator did not go according to plan– not at all. The first test–the short burst worked perfectly. Then when we engaged the compensator for a longer test, an explosion occurred. The explosion was a result of sabotage not any flaw in the engines or compensator. Unbeknownst toContinue reading “They Know it was Us”

Metaphysical Musings
Personal Log Stardate: 47019.9 On a personal note, I’ve had a chance to get to know our counselor, Lt. Kubus, and I think she is a great addition to the crew; furthermore, she has already helped me personally. We’ve swapped Cardassian horror stories and she wins—hands down. But she has taken that suffering and insteadContinue reading “Metaphysical Musings”
Testing the Engines
Captain’s Log Stardate: 47020.3 We’ve been at warp 7 for a week heading to Starbase 214 and things are humming along. Our course will take us within a stone’s throw of Betazed, and near the Argolis and Tenderas clusters. The Avenger has performed exceedingly well, all systems are up and running. We are about toContinue reading “Testing the Engines”
The Tether is Long
Captain’s Log Stardate: 47013.4 The Admiral is keeping us on a short leash. His latest subspace message is just more of the same–try out the ship’s systems and let him know how the ship performances. I hardly need to be told this–again. He is ordering us to test the new warp drive last; he wantsContinue reading “The Tether is Long”
Premature Launching
Stardate 47012.1 Well, shit. I have to take back a bit from my last log. I was wistfully imagining leaving space dock, but it actually hasn’t happened yet. We are waiting for a few last minute crew members to arrive–most noticeably by ship’s counselor. It would be in poor taste to leave with her, afterContinue reading “Premature Launching”
Settling In
Personal Log Stardate 47011.5 The moment of leaving the space dock is indescribable. The thrill of having my first command under me, the beauty of seeing the stars slide by, the warmth of friendship…I’m not poet. It is a great feeling to be out from under the heavy thumb of Admiral Hawthorne. I can’t believeContinue reading “Settling In”
On My Way
Personal Log Stardate 47011.4 I’m in the shuttle en route to the Avenger. Just a couple more hours and I’ll be at my first command. I am more than ready to start. I’m looking forward to settling in with my new crew and seeing what this ship is capable of. I’ll add a supplemental logContinue reading “On My Way”
Many Loose Ends
Captain’s Log Stardate 47010.1 Now that it has come down to it, there are so many details to take care of. Having my personal effects transferred to the ship; sorting through last minute correspondence; reading status reports on weapons systems, power systems, sensors, replicators, deflectors, structural power systems, and even turbo lifts. To saying nothingContinue reading “Many Loose Ends”
Counting Down the Days
Captain’s Log Stardate: 47008.6 Two days until I officially take command of the U.S.S. Avenger NCC 53505. There needs to be a word that describes that feeling of both anxiety and eagerness. I can’t wait to start, but at the same time I’m apprehensive. But I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it. I’ve heardContinue reading “Counting Down the Days”
Unsettling News from Bajor
Personal Log Stardate: 47007.7 I’ve just got a subspace message from my brother Rerku. He is a Vedek at the Mercou Monastery and He wrote to me that Vedek Winn is gaining more support in the Vedek Assembly. That’s not good news. She is, for all reports, a power hungry Vedek who manipulates those whoContinue reading “Unsettling News from Bajor”
