EJ Pilot

A Engineer's Journal

Pilot on break from his shift, sat in his quarters just thinking. “Computer, begin log for stardate 200805.12.” The computer replies with an acknowledging beep from its sound buffers.

 

“As I begin my career aboard the starship Manticore I have ran into some unusual characters. Like one of our doctor’s, for instance, he tells me he cannot find his regular physical equipment, so he has to use antique medical equipment. I believe after all this time not a single person should be using old antique medical equipment. After all the effort and time that was been spent in developing our now, advanced technology. You should be using it. Also if your equipment is damaged you need to file a report with Engineering to get it repaired, or file a report with the Ops Manager to have it put on the list when we do another Supply run at the nearest Starbase.”

 

Pilot placed the log entry on pause for a moment to get a drink from the replicator, “Cranberry juice please.” The cranberry materializes on the replicator pad and Pilot grasps it in his hand tightly, like a snake coiling around its prey. He then takes a nice, cooling, refreshing sip from the glass and places it on the table next to him. “Computer, resume log entry 200805.12.” The computer acknowledged and Pilot continued recording.

 

“Another unusual crewmate of mine is one of our security officers. Not to say that our fine Chief Security Officer isn’t handling his business, because he is. However, this security officer, I believe whose name was Kansas. I could not believe the nerve of her, she actually said she would turn me into a pretzel. During that whole physical I got ridiculed by her. She says, “Well maybe he’s a Changelling.” Really, I am ½ Klingon and ½ Human, there is nothing changeling about me. In addition, if I were a changeling why would I make myself look like half of something? However, I think this was all a ploy for the medical and security officer(s) to have a laugh at my expense. Nevertheless, remember Engineering is the folks you call to come fix your broken toys. Why would you prank one of their officers?”

 

Pilot stops and says to the computer, “End log and save.” Pilot then takes a look at the time. “Hmm 15 more minutes.” Pilot takes a nice long finishing off sip of his cranberry juice, moving the empty glass to the recycler and heads out of his quarters back to the Engineering.

 

<End Log.>
