Contemplation Of Time

Personal Log: Eagle,James,T.,Lt.

 

looking around the bridge and noting the progress of the various officers as they went about their respective duties. The situation appears to be most at the most intense stage of development so far.

 

I find myself once again in the CC and the responsibility of the bridge, The Captain has again left the ship in hopes of garnering a peaceful resolution to the crisis that does present itself to us at the moment. I have mixed feelings of our Commanding officer being absent from this ship at this time. I do have however the most great respect and admiration for him as he has demonstrated to be one of the Fleets finest Commanding officer it has been my pleasure to serve with.

 

Looking at the chronometer watching as the minutes proceed...counting down to what appears to be an unavoidable ending in this quagmire of negotiations. The Grand Commander of the race that has appeared and made their intentions well known to all has given the ruling planetary government a very short time in which to vacate and turn over the planet to them...That is an impossible task under the best of conditions given the time he has allowed. That presents us with another existing problem, The Commander has transferred his races historic data files for us to look over to substantiate his claim of ownership of this planet.

 

The present occupying race disavow any knowledge of the race ..and in all probability will not accept or comply with the stated demands,The planetary defense forces have already scrambled and are holding at their positions...I have been in communicae with them and have asked them to await the outcome of a more diplomatic resolution to this dilemma before starting a shooting war. Ens.Tar'Ghet has been at Tactical monitoring all military communications between their DOD and the forces in the field...I need to know if anyone even so much as sneezes wrong and gets trigger happy. The Captain is well aware of the tensions involved here and has ordered me to try and keep any concerned in the parties from firing the first shot.

 

The Chronometer still proceeds to click off the minutes...time may be either an ally or an enemy...I fear in this situation time may prove to be the latter. End Log...Beep. :)
