The Personal log of Paul Stamets contained log entries made by Stamets during his time in Starfleet.
Entries[]
- Lieutenant commander's log, supplemental.
- The Burn, a galaxy-wide event that seems... "Impossible" is a tricky word, especially considering my personal history. Oh, let's face it, we're all way beyond impossible. But for something to affect dilithium across the galaxy in an instant? How do we even begin to make sense of that?
I ordered Linus to astrometrics to run calculations using dynamic phase grids to see if we could determine an origin point... a pointless exercise, frankly. We don't even have nearly enough information yet. Lieutenant Nilsson had a suggestion to... well, honestly I wasn't listening when she told me.
She's a little out of her depth here. I think we all are...[1]
- Commander Paul Stamets, personal log.
- I had this moment with Adira today... I feel like I should be talking about how they opened up to me – but what I'm thinking about, instead, is a staircase... when I was a kid, there was this spot at the top of stairs where I'd sit in my pajamas, holding a test score or a report card, hoping my dad would come home before bedtime, because the only time he actually looked me in the eye – saw me in any way – was when I showed I was smart, like him. Usually, he'd be working too late, but I'd wait as long as I could... just counting the fibers in that section of carpet. 7,461. I'm not Adira's dad, of course, but whatever I am... I want them to know I see them. Not just because they're smart, but for all the other things they are, too. They deserve to feel that, we all do...[2]
- Commander Paul Stamets, personal log.
- I just got back from a mission with Book, and... well, it wasn't what I expected. Heading in, I couldn't help but think of my father... he used to insist I go in with him for work when he had the time.
He was a surveyor. I don't know why he wanted me with him. He never seemed to want to say anything.
God, the endless hours of empty space. Just sitting there, staring at his hands on the controls. We listened to a lot of opera, come to think of it. Not the guy you'd expect to love opera. Maybe he was hoping I'd learn to love it too...
Anyhow, I didn't expect to have much to talk about with Book, either.
But... we did.
It surprised me. And I'm really, really glad I went...[3]
