A Beginning To An End

 

Personal Log: Eagle,James,T.,Lt. U.S.S. Arcadia

 

The team has been assigned their respective duties. I am on my way to the camp Commandants office with Sam and Kat joining me. I have dispatched Malik and Tom on a recovery mission for Mr.Riley. Doug,And Thoros are busied with gathering some type of communication equipment.

 

It is my plan and intent to not only get this team out of here before we all either die or get so hooked on a powerful drug they use here to keep people enslaved and under control it results in a living death or a waking hell if you will.

 

I am convinced the drug is at the bottom of all we have encountered here as well as the underlying reason some of the other races were invited here by their petty dictator to find allies in his agenda.

 

This knowledge may actually help the Federation in their negotiations here should the end that in my opinion is unfolding rapidly comes to bear. The obvious fact the lack of guards since our arrival coupled with less supplies indicate something is in motion. The chatter with the others in the mines and the guards themselves do point to a strong dependence on this powerful drug.

 

I am of the opinion their supply of this strong narcotic may be low and therefore the effects of withdrawal may be starting to become significant on a larger scale. The drug is a most dangerous one, My short encounter with the drug came dangerously close to my becoming addicted,The withdrawal is horrible.

 

I have formulated a plan to gain our freedom as well as possibly hedge our bet a bit in this situation. I must convince the Commandant to let our Doc remove the small devices we have in our neck....apparently all of us in pressed service have them. I must convince him this effort is not only to the teams best interest as well as his own peoples best interest.

 

I have briefed the team...The action is in motion, I am convinced there has to be a way for all of us out of this place, I fully intend to misbehave and find a way to get to the end of this situation with as little collateral damage as possible. I have in our CO and the crew of the Arcadia. We here must remember we are Fleet officers and will do our best in this situation.

 

The other races indeed involved in this grand deception...I shudder to think of the possible applications the Romulans,Ferrengi and others might use if they were able to get their hands on this drug. I could see where the Federation may be able in time to find a useful and beneficial way for this drug. The way the drug is being used right now is not a humane way of using it, No when a drug as powerful as this drug is being used to dominate and enslave it leaves the realm of benefit and moves into the criminal venue.

 

The team will do all that is possible to help stop this thing even at the cost of the ultimate we as officers can do for others and the Federation we all serve and swore an oath to. The plan must move forward I hope the Arcadia is close and is on her way back, I hope the Captain and crew are well....I hope those here are ready for all hell to break loose shortly. End Log.... :P
