Diamond sighed and rolled over trying to get comfortable, the side of the bed Aidan had slept on was still warm and she snuggled down under the covers smiling to herself. She had never expected to have ever slept with Aidan but he was always there for her and last night she had just given in dragging him back to her quarters. Yawning sleepily Diamond asked the computer to begin a new log.
[Log Begins] Last night was perfect, this is the happiest I have been in a long time. Aidan and I spent some time talking in the lounge during the brief time I had before having to report back to my quarters, the entire time I had, what my mom calls, butterfly's in my stomach. After some time I found out that Aidan has a romantic interest in me, which kind of explains a lot actually.
My life has been so upside down lately that I could not take being alone anymore and brought him back to my room, its the first time I have been with a guy since the academy so it was quite fun. Of course we had one little problem, with John in the other bedroom we had to keep it down and on top of that when Aidan left the room he had to sneak out of my quarters. I am not sure what John would have said but I did not want to risk anything so Aidan and I agreed that he should leave before John got up.
Of course now I am really confused...is it possible to love two people at the same time? Aidan seems to think so, at least that is what he told me. I still love T'Ruri but she has been avoiding me and has yet to give me a straight answer as to whether or not she wants to be with me. Then there is Aidan, he is always there for me and he cares about me. I really have no idea what to think.
If T'Ruri does want to be with me what do I tell Aidan and worse yet what if she wants to be with me but changes her mind when she finds out Aidan and I slept together and I know she will, there are no secrets on a starship. I really need to talk to some one besides T'Ruri and Aidan...I have thought about talking to dad....OH MY GOD!! I meant John, John....why did I just call him dad!? Computer end log....RIGHT NOW!!

Diamond check the sight on her pistol as she finished cleaning it. Satisfied she places it back in her bedside drawer before laying down and stretching, humming to herself she rolled over and closed her eyes.
"Computer please being personal log"
"Acknowledged" comes the mechanical reply.
[Log Begins] That was the most fun I have had in a while, -chuckles to herself- heh if you can call being chased by a horde of mechanical zombies fun. After we entered the facility we had a few scares but nothing life threatening, first the doc bumped into a table and knocked over a glass, which of course she could not hear breaking. The rest of us heard it though and I am sure we gave the shattered remains quite a scare as Aidan, Missy and I all wheeled around and aimed out guns at it.
A few minutes later while investigating the labs kitchen I knocked over a bunch of pots and pans, this time though none of us really jumped. Though I am fairly certain I heard Aidepoo mumble something about me and kitchens, I guess I will just have to torture the information out of him later.
Finally we made it deeper into the facility and that is when all hell broke loose. From every direction legions of these strange mechanical things charged us, Aidan told the rest if us to run but I passed him one of my portable field generators before pushing the Doc and T'Ruri up the stairs.
-sighs- My Aidan really needs to start paying attention, as we where starting up the stairs I heard him complaining about how to activate the generator, it's not that hard all you do is press the big "Activate" button on the front...maybe I should give him a crash course in how to read.
After I got the other three up the stairs and had them running for the entrance I started dropping a few mines at the top of the stairs, once they where in place I leaned over and noticed Aidan scrambling up followed by those robo-zombies. That man seems like he could dodge anything as he managed to avoid those things while running, but they where closing in again so I laid down covering fire while he ran, managed to take out a few of the things too.
Once he was up we bolted and just as I was being beamed out I heard my mines go off, I made sure to deploy my strongest ones so that horde should have been thinned out a bit, but I doubt if the staircase survived so any trapped below are probably stuck there.
On that note we beamed one of the damn things aboard and I have taken some precautions by reinforcing the lab security systems. I wanted to bomb the surface from orbit but the Captain shot that plan down, no pun intended. I also suggested that we ensure those bastard ridge heads did not get their hands on one of those things but the Captain just ignored me outright, which I don't get, she is always going on about....oh never mind no point in dwelling on things you can't change.
Oh I got a message from dad, my real, well real adoptive dad, not John or the dead one. He was not happy about my recent behavior, I was surprised about him hearing that. But then he is a Colonel in the MACO force so I guess he has some pull. Any way I managed to get some face time with him a few hours ago since he was near our mission area and after spending a good five minutes yelling back and forth at each other we got to talking about mom and Cindy, not to mention that jackass Johnson from the academy. Seems my ex is serving under dad now so I hope he is getting his ass kicked everyday.
-yawns-
Damn I am tired...computer end log, thank you. [Log Ends]

Diamond slumped down in the captains chair of the U.S.S. Vigilance and looked around the bridge. She was one of the only members of the crew still on the ship having ordered most of her teams back to the Lady A to get some rest. She was fairly certain that Anja was still aboard somewhere but Diamond was leaving her to her memories and of course every once in awhile she received a message from security as they checked up on her or bumped into a new problem.
Smiling to herself Diamond scooped up her PADD and set it to record her log.
[Log Begins] I am soooo tired, but I just cant bring myself to leave the Vigilance alone in her current state. The little angel has been through enough and even lost her entire crew, I know I would not want to be left alone in that situation.
The stardate is currently 88971.38 and I am still looking the Vigilance over but I am certain that she can be salvaged.
The ship is currently very quiet, only a few hours ago I had practically every engineer from the Lady over here as we patched up what we could and prepared the Vigilance for her trip to the nearest repair yard. While I do enjoy being around other engineers we are a surly lot and while I would welcome the occasional fist fight with certain members of the team even I need some time to myself every now and again.
-shifts in the Captains chair slightly-
Hmm, this is pretty comfy. Anyway besides myself Hawkins and a few others are spread throughout the ship finishing up our inspection and I know Anja has a few of her security members "stalking the halls" as it where. I think we should be done by the time the rest of the teams are done sleeping so baring some strange mishap I should be heading back to the Lady soon.
I still have some minor systems here on the bridge to go over but they are almost done. I think that I should let Anja be the one to put the Vigilance to bed after we are all done. I'll send her a message once we are ready to head back to the Lady and let her do it on her own, unless she requests otherwise of course. The little angel would appreciate being tucked in by family I think.
-sighs as she stretches and then stands back up, taking a spanner from her belt she twirls it in her fingers as she moves to a console-
Well time to finish this up, ending log now. [Log Ends]

Diamond stood staring out her window at the arboretum as she listened to one of her junior officer’s rattle off a list of repairs finished earlier that day. She was not really paying any attention at the moment as her mind wandered back several weeks to the day she held her first staff meeting. She had invited her team leaders to her quarters in an effort to make things a little more comfortable and ease some of the tension that had built up between herself and some of the other engineers.
Turning to the young officer, Henderson if she remembered correctly, Diamond motioned for him to stop, a slight tear came to her eye as she realized that the seat Henderson was in had been the same one Hawkins had favored whenever he came to visit.
“Enough Ensign, I know what we have finished…I need to know what we can get repaired before we hit dock, I’ll be damned if those lazy grease monkeys show us up”
Fumbling with his PADD slightly Henderson nodded, “Uhh, well as you know we still need to replace several warp coils and as for the shields we are stuck at 32% until we can replace the emitters, which we can’t do until we hit space dock.”
Sighing Diamond put her hand up to stop the Ensign, “James I asked what we can get done, not what we cant.”
After another three hours Diamond finally ushered the two ensigns and three crewmen out of her quarters before throwing herself onto the sofa and screaming. She was tired, angry, sad and the last few weeks had just been stacking up until the point she just had to scream.
“Computer begin personal log for star date 88992.96”
[Log Begins] Its finally over, I heard that the Captain is pulling us off the line and it’s about damn time. With all the damage we have taken we would probably explode if someone so much as looked at the ship funny. I am trying to get as much done before we get to dry dock but in all honesty I have no idea how much that will be.
Everyone has lost friends in the last few weeks and I can tell by just looking at them that most are not taking it to well. I know Aidan lost several members of his team and Anja has to rebuild her teams from the ground up. I lost so many of my people I just….I don’t know I just can’t think straight.
Loris died saving her DCT, she overloaded a plasma conduit as a group of borg passed her thinking she was dead. Her team managed to help get the shields back up thanks to that.
Hawkins, well that’s my fault. He got in a fight with a drone that fell on him after he killed it, he said he was okay but he died from internal bleeding a few minutes later. I should have got a medic to him but we were so busy…it just never occurred to me that having a drone fall on you could be lethal.
So many are dead and so many more are going to die simply because Asiani can’t do anything for them. I should have stayed on the Meridian, the worst thing that happens on a cadet training ship is a serious hangover the morning after the cadets first arrive. But since I am here I will have to deal.
I am still weirded out from fighting next to the Klingons and yeah they saved our butts but I still hate them, saving our lives does not make up for what happened to my home world. Beyond that they kept poking at things while I was trying to get the shields repaired, I mean come on they have all the same systems on their ships so it’s not like they are seeing something new. Maybe it’s the brighter colors on our ship’s that attract them?
Oh, oh, oh and they smell AWFUL! I tested the air just after they left and I was nearly knocked on my ass by the taste. I assume they bathe but like daddy always says,
-attempts to mimic her adoptive fathers heavy Scottish accent-
“When ye assume ye make an ass of you and me”
-sighs heavily-
I have a few hours before I need to get back to work so I think I will have a nap, then grab something to eat…maybe see if Aidan has a few free moments. Computer end log. [Log Ends]
