"Computer begin recording...
As I've told you before, Computer, I rarely do this log thing. Earlier I was briefed by Commander Precip and was informed that I would be with him when we greet the Federation Council for their meeting on this star base.
This is my first diplomatic detail, and I'll finally get to try out my new dress uniform. I'm almost excited. I sincerely hope I get my previous post back as the Chief Master at Arms. It would be better for when I introduce myself.
::sighs:: I thought it would be nice to be station based again, however this automated star base seems to take all the fun out it. I hope the computer thinks too hard and breaks itself so it'll run like a regular base. According to what I heard over the intercom, the computer overrode the Admiral's command.
It makes me think of a certain book I once read from the twentieth century. 2001 A Space Odyssey. In this book, the ship controlled by an artificial intelligence computer, became self aware and took control. I hope that doesn't happen here, otherwise I'd have to take a few photon grenades and stick them in the computer core.
At any rate I seem to be rambling and will cut this short. Computer end recording."
