Officer’s Personal Log
Stardate: 91816.03
I don’t typically record many of these. I find my work on the Starbase and with the 22nd Mobile Fleet a different type of stress then I’ve seen with those I know from deep space assignments. Yet I must confess. I am terrified.
Poor logistics at the Admiral’s level has trapped me onboard the USS Pilgrim during a dangerous mission. I’m really hopening for quick resolution, so that I can be back on the starbase within a few days. Although I am scared I felt compelled to offer my services. But like my papa always said, it’s best to confront your problems then to ignore or run away from them.
I have found wisdom in these words in all my challenges. So rather than to sit and hope for the best I went to the bridge to tell the Captain that I had been trapped aboard when they left space dock hastily. She was polite about it and informed me that I will have to remain for the ride until the mission was completed. Nothing I didn’t know already. It would be too dangerous to fly back in a shuttle, and the ship was already dangerously close the temporal anomaly.
I offered my assistances at Operations particular working with the Starship’s Power Configuration. Which I have little experience with but numbers are numbers whether your accounting for how many phaser cases you have, or how much power your ship is using.
The captain was all too happy to accept my offer. The officer at operations already seemed a bit awkward. Maybe he believes I am attempting to take his job… While I am trying to keep busy from letting my fear control me, I am not in fact attempting to take his job. I have little interest in deep space assignments where aliens shoot at you, and rare scientific encounters can rip your ship apart.
With a thousand and one ways to die in space, I much prefer my desk in the Commnad Pit of Starbase 220. Yet- there is a sense of excitement that I’m experiencing. At my current job it’s always C.Y.A. It’s about proper forms, and supply transfers, and documentation. On the bridge of the Pilgrim it was transparent. I gave my opinion, the captain asked if that was my recommendation, and it was. Not only did that feel empowering. Commander Rindeno, the amazingly beautiful leading scientist of the fleet, and admiral’s wife, stuck up for me!
I never even had chance to speak to Commander Rindeno up until today. Though I have heard so many stories about her. Scientific Brilliants, Achievements that have led to amazing break through, and heroic acts. I do not understand where someone gets so much courage and confidence to jump into male battle with alien clearly overpower you.
Should this space tour be very short and I am home by the weekend. It will be an interesting experience working on the bridge of Starship.
