Entries[]
2380[]
- Captain's log, stardate 57436.2
- The Cerritos is docked at Douglas Station for routine maintenance and resupply. We will soon set course for the capital planet on the Galar system, where we're scheduled to make second contact with the Galardonian High Council. First contact is a delicate, high-stakes operation of diplomacy. One must be ready for anything when Humanity is interacting with alien race for the first time. But we don't do that. Our specialty is second contact. Still pretty important. We get all the paperwork signed, make sure we're spelling the name of the planet right, get to know all the good places to eat.[1]
- Personal log
- I've completed all of today's assignment's ahead of schedule, and I have requested more. Space: the funnest frontier?[2]
- Ensign Boimler, personal log, stardate 57601.3.
- The Cerritos is in orbit around Mixtus III to assist in a controlled demolition of an unstable moon. We're providing support to the Vancouver, a Parliament-class ship which focuses on complex large-scale engineering projects.[3]
- …
- So the moon's decaying orbit could cause catastrophic blah blah blah blah blah– okay, okay, the real news is I get to have lunch with the coolest, smartest officer in Starfleet, Barbara Brinson, who also happens to be muh girlfriend! That's right! We met a month ago, and it's just been magical![3]
2381[]
- Personal audio log
- Bradward Boimler Personal audio log. Personal Log, Rutherford and I handled the illicit mugato harvest on Frylon IV through a delicate dance of negotiation; we used our diplomat skills and… and… we met a really cool Tellarite named Patingi, and he died trying to explain mugatos to us! I thought I'd pay my respects to him and at least learn a little about his life. I did some research and found out that Patingi was brave, like, really brave. Sure, he didn't really know that much about mugatos, but he didn't let that stop him. He was out there because he thought he could use his book smarts instead of real world experience! That's like, what I have to do! But, you know, not get my head eaten. At the end of the day, you gotta follow your passions. Which is why, even though it's really going to hurt, I'm going to keep practicing anbo-jyutsu and challenge Mariner to a rematch. FOR PATINGI.[4]
2382[]
- Personal log, stardate 58168.6
- Hoo boy, feels good to be off Earth and back on a raisin-free Cerritos. Between Mandolina's self doubt and Lianne's obsession with showering together, it's a wonder that vineyard functions without me. With Captain Freeman's reputation restored, thanks to Starfleet's secret investigation into the Pakled bombing, we can finally get back to normal. I can't believe Mariner thought my logs were unusable in court – they're practically canon! So what if I include personal peaks and valleys? She's not perfect, she almost flew the Cerritos to Qo'noS! It was pretty intense… Speaking of intense, I thought Earth's atmosphere and familiar foods would help my gas situation, but it's only gotten worse. I'm scared. I'm in a never ending battle with my own body.[5]
- Personal log
- I'm still processing Ransom's news about William, my transporter clone. It just doesn't make sense –or he had everything I thought I wanted… but then he died for no reason. You couldn't stage a more forgettable death. Computer, I thought I'd find answers in the holodeck, but the MacGuffin ended up being a fraud. Plus, I passed out and hit my mouth on the floor. Anyway, I probably should have taken a therapy break with Dr. Migleemo before crawling into a rock deity, but I don't know, I'm feeling a lot better either way. You know what? My movie ruled! Yeah, I learned that I can't worry about what's beyond my control or it'll keep me from truly living, but more importantly, Crisis Point II blew Mariner's stupid movie out of the water! YEAH! IN YOUR FACE![6]
