Entries

The Covenant of the Crown

• "Captain's log, Stardate 7816.1. We have completed step one of King Stevvin's plan - the King, his daughter, and their four servants have left Orand on board the Enterprise, as expected by both Star Fleet Command and any Klingon agents who may have been watching. His royal highness has lived long enough to serve as an all-important decoy. The Klingons know the Crown must be retrieved, and they expect us to lead them to its hiding place - but we'll do no such thing. While the Enterprise instead leads them on a circuitous wild goose chase, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy will take a specially outfitted shuttlecraft and accompany the King's daughter to Sigma 1212, the icy world where Stevvin hid his sacred Crown eighteen years ago. If all goes well, the shuttle crew will retrieve the Crown, rendezvous with the Enterprise, and allow us to complete our mission of reunification. I hope King Stevvin can somehow live long enough to see his plan come to a successful end."

• Captain's log, stardate 7795.3

  The Enterprise had been headed for Parides IV, a strategically important and non-aligned planet, that has finally agreed to open up diplomatic relations with the Federation. But a scientific discovery of greater significance, in another sector of space, now requires the immediate presence of the Enterprise — forcing me to consider a sudden change of plans! The Paridesians, however, a race to whom etiquette and protocol are almost a religion, and any delay in our arrival would be considered a major insult — and a diplomatic disaster. So an elegant solution has been devised. A shuttlecraft, bearing myself, Commander Spock,and Dr McCoy and Federation ambassador Alec Raymond, will head for Parides IV and handle the diplomatic duties, while the Enterprise, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Sulu, will travel to the Duran system, where the scientific discovery awaits.

  Acting Captain Lieutenant Commander Hikaru Sulu, recording. To say that I'm enthusiastic today would be an understatement. More than four years into my second tour of duty aboard this great starship, I am finally getting to command a mission of my own. At present, we are en route to the Duran system, all systems functioning normally. The crew are in good spirits, anticipating this mission of potentially profound importance, and are engaging in some stimulating conversation...

  Captain's log, stardate 7796.1

  We have arrived at Duran 12, where the as yet undisclosed scientific discovery has been made. A Federation science team awaits us on the planet's surface. A landing party consisting of myself, Lieutenant Commander Uhura, Lieutenant Chekov and our acting science officer, Ensign Omal, are beaming down to consult with the science team.

  Preparations are underway to bring the Crier up to the ship, for immediate transport to spacelab Draco Three. One of the ship's labs is being converted to house the creature and recreate the conditions of its cavern home, to ensure its stability during the journey. Meanwhile, the discovery of this unique creature has given the crew plenty of food for thought...
