Character: Shras
‘Commanders personal log. I step into my duties as commander of this vessel with trepidation and uncertainty. Given that during my leave of absence from my last tour I heard nothing from Starfleet command. Then out of the blue (as the humans say) Star Fleet post’s me onto another vessel. An Akira class know less. Almost three times the size as the Miranda class I was stationed on. I was expecting to be bumped down back to a desk job at star fleet logistics. Hell. I would be more comfortable their. Maybe this new post is some kind of punishment given my actions on my last mission. No, I can’t think that way. Look at it from a positive angle getting this posting is an honour for me and my clan. The family would be proud. Not that I have spoken to them….. Computer pause log”
“Computer set up a reminder to contact Andor and the planetary database”
‘Resume log. Were was I? Oh yes. I really don’t know what to expect here or if I am suited for the role. The Captain and most of the crew are experienced war veterans. (The Captain being an old war horse if ever I met one) Viewing the roster and duty logs of the department chiefs I felt this has led to a complacency towards paper work and filing. The ships logs are a bit of a mess and I’m not even going to start on the shift rotation system. The crew seem to be falling back on a laissez attitude that develops during wartime. The sort of attitude of survival and duty, be at your post fight the battle, then do it all again the next day. Well I won’t have it. What do they think this is a Klingon Warbird. This is a Starfleet vessel. Were we do things by the book. Appropriate files needed to be made the chain of command followed and logistical statistics taken into account. I will have this vessel running efficiently. End log!”
