Here goes, :rolleyes:

 

“Computer, begin personal log,

 

My brain is tired from two sims in two days. Although I am fatigued, I can not wait for 0404.03. I believe that I am progressing well and will have a chance for graduation this month.

 

I talked to my friend Christopher, he said he is going to join the academy training lessons. I was trilled to see that he has an interest in this, I hope we will be on the bridge crew together or work in engineering. He isn’t as smart as I am though, but we will do our best to get a posts on the same ship.

 

Last night’s sim was a more exciting then the one 2 days ago. Last night we got a chance to abandon ship and survive, instead of having the ship blow up with us in it.

 

We started off heading towards the last known position of a ship that we had lost contact with. I was nervous. I knew that it would not be a simple mission, something would definitely go wrong. When we dropped out of warp and I reported that there were 2 M-class planets in the system, I thought, ‘The commanders better not get killed this time.’ I didn’t have the desire to take command and fail again. The last sim was obviously set up for failure.

 

I started scanning the system and detected a debris field near the second M class planet. We flew over at impulse. We read inconsistent life signs scattered on the surface. And as an away team was about to be assembled, power surges were detected all throughout the ship. Yellow alert was issued. I contacted Engineering for a possible cause. They could not explain it. The Red Alert alarm sounded automatically as I read on my console ‘Warp Core Breech Imminent in 2mins.’ Engineering communicated to the bridge (with klaxons in the background) that War Core Eject systems were off line and we had to abandon ship. I agreed. The Captain announced, ‘All hands abandon ship!’ As the Captain was being beamed off the bridge, the tactical officer and myself headed for the Turbo lift and got in an escape pod.

 

I can not pilot yet, so the Ensign took the controls for an OK landing in a field. We gathered supplies, and repaired our injuries. I attempted to contact the captain, he was not responding. I contacted the Chief Medical Officer and he said that the Captain was unconscious and the Commander didn’t make it off. ‘How convenient,’ I thought. I used my communicator to contact the rest of the crew and informed them that I was taking command… again. The Chief Engineer had a Dune Buggy and offered to pick up the Tactical Officer and myself. He picked us up not more then 5 minutes later and while we were zooming towards the Captain’s crash site, the simulation ended. Maybe that was for the best, I had not failed, and I ended on a high note.

 

I hope we do not continue this plot next week, the teachers will probably make me fail somehow.

 

Computer, end log.

I know this is a given, but this was the character’s view of last night's academy sim. :lol:

Good log. You think thats long? I once wrote a log that was like 15 pages :rolleyes:

[Seiben 0]

Yeah true. Though I never wrote a 15 page log, sometimes long logs are necessary. (and it does impress the command staff) :lol: But don't worry , your log isn't that long, compared to some others. ::looks at his 4500 character Arcadia log, that took him 2 hours to make.. :: :rolleyes:

15 PAGES for a 1 hour sim log?

::polishes fingernails on her lapel::

 

30-odd pages, six parts.

 

And if anyone on the Excal still has it, please send it along. It got lost in a computer transfer several years back ^.^

 

Oh, and one in the works for another sim that's ::checks:: up to seven pages, and not even half-way done.

 

::is the Queen of Super-Log logs::

 

P.S. Great log William :lol: Much better than anything I wrote when I was starting out :rolleyes:

15 PAGES for a 1 hour sim log?

 

No...it was something for my character. A big story about the origin and evolution of the species as an emerging culture.
