Senior Instructor’s Personal Log Stardate 88078.9
I am ordered to perform a routine inspection on the Okinami of the enlisted personnel, officially this is just part of the job, unofficially i think the admiral is punishing me for that little sparring match with Chief Koval, I mean seriously what did he expect when you put a klink in the same room as me, Ah he’ll be alright even if he is only 1/4th klink. They heal broken bones rather quickly. Anyway right so I am headed to the U.S.S. Okinami she was a fine ship while I was training Mitchell and his boys to serve under whatever Chief they had before. I should be in an out in a couple of days then back to go lobby for my final stripe and if I'm lucky retire.
End Log.

Well I'll be damned. Admiral really must have been trying to get rid of me, this routine inspection has become my new billet. And on top of that I'm apparently replacing Winterhagen. I met him for a brief moment back at the 602 before he shipped out, seemed like a good Marine even if he didn't quite keep the grooming standard. Anyway I'm almost to Starbase 39, Looks like I'll have to replicate a dress uniform.
So much for retirement.

Personal Log, USS Okinami.
Well I suppose that was a new way to take a post. A memorial for my predecessor, the Captain is young, but she seems to genuinely care about her crew even the grunts. And the exo seems the same.
I checked in immediately with the marines. They all greeted me like I expected. I hope im not going to have to do many more of those for these kids.

Personal Log, USS Adagio
Seems like I may have to start making these again. I was surprised today though I am not sure whether or not it was by myelf or Captain Zh'kor. She offered me a Position on board Adagio, Chief of the Boat and I accepted. I don't really know why I did, it just seemed the right thing to do at the time. It has been a while since I served on a ship, longer since I was in any sort of command position outside of a class room. I can already see some points of friction between myself and the xo, the same with the security chief only those were intentional. A ploy that may come back to bite me in the arse now that I will be serving with her for the forseeable future.
I've bled for this Captain, and for some reason I trust her. Maybe its because she doesn't seek to dull my edge like so many other Starfleet captains have before her.... or maybe I'm just tired of hopping from place to place.

Personal Log, USS Adagio
Well this is new, shot halfway across the galaxy by an alien device following a borg sphere. Is it to late to retire? Spent a lot f time in quarantine after that mission lead to some interesting conversations. I just hope i didn't make to much of an arse out of myself with the Commander. You know, I've never really cared all that much about that before. I must be getting soft in my old age.
Supplemental, Commander Malitzka thats two you owe me.

Personal Log, USS Adagio.
Butted heads with the XO again today, I don't think the woman likes even the remote possibility she might be wrong. Though I guess I didn't really give her much of a chance, I had other things on my mind. Drank with the Captain last night, probably shared a bit too much. Wait what's this. When did I get a message?
-Sound of shuffling-
Ah before while we were down on the planet. Computer play message.
"Chief, I hope this finds you well. Now for the hard part, if you are seeing this, its because I am dead, I am sure you will get the details at some point in the future but I instructed my husband to send this to you if anything were to happen. I would like to give you an update on my family but I have no idea what the situation will be like if this message should ever reach you. 492 seems so long ago, but every day I can't help but think I have it and my little Sean because of what you, Promise me you will check in from time to time, Jacen will need help. Commander Malora Tralus signing off, Semper Invictus."
* sound of crashing*
Well this week just keeps getting better.

The waiting game. A marines old friend. We wait here between two stars, hiding. Another fight with the XO but I think I'm beginning to understand it. The fear of failure, the fear of what she is. It makes sense but its still what is it the borg say? Resistance is Futile? You can't change what you are, you can only accept it and use it. I am a killer, I am a Marine. She is borg. Lets just hope she realizes that both of us are simply tools that need ot be used to save this ship, this crew.
Don't get me wrong, I am not keen to dying, but accept that that might happen. Its better me than Talia or Anja. Speaking of Anja, she still has a lot to learn. It seems as though Talia understands my methods and my reasons.
Supplemental, Malora that mindfire really does kick. You'll be missed lass, you'll be missed and don't worry I'll check in on Sean as soon as I can.

Personal Log,
Remind me not to take to much of my own medicine. Respect, or is it more than that? Command is a lonely place. Sometimes, it helps to be reminded that it doesn't have to be. The only problem is my duty is suppose to be to the ship first, then her captain. Lately those lines are starting to blur, or maybe that's just the whiskey. I checked in on Malora's lad as soon as we were in port, he's almost ten now, it's hard to imagine. Talked to him over the comm, he asked when I would be getting to visit Earth. Sometimes I find myself wondering what Niamh would look like now, hopefully she'd have taken after her mother. Anyway I'm rambling now.
Supplemental, remind myself to brush up on Andorian body language.
