Stardate 0604.20

 

The shock has worn off, and now I’m working to prove that the away team might still be alive. I’ve enlisted the help of our ranking science officer Ensign Montague, fighter chief Zafira, and fighter pilot Angelis to help me prove to the Captain that our people are not dead or at least that they didn’t die on the shuttle and could still be alive somewhere.

 

Doctor Matthews came up to the bridge to speak with the captain. I hope things went better with her than they did when Zafira was in there. This must be particularly hard for her. Smith was one of her doctors before he switched over to science.

 

And I can only imagine what the captain is going through. We lost how many people against the Tholians, not to mention we almost lost the ship. Now, here we are on our first mission since that incident and we’ve lost an away team consisting of two of our department chiefs. Maybe he’ll retire. Or worse, maybe Starfleet will promote him. I think he need’s shore leave and a shrink. Not that I’d tell him that; Smith is notorious enough for that. Really, though, I think Michaels needs a break. He’s the stereotypical captain: work’s himself to death, won’t get physicals, and never takes a vacation.

 

Commander Ridire has just informed us that we have one hour to find the proof we need to convince the captain that the team is still alive. Great. That’s all we need, a deadline. We’re working against time, and at the moment time is give us quite the butt-kicking. We are not going to leave the away team here or wherever it is there are.
