Ut Incepit Feceris, Ita Metes

 

Personal log: Hilee,Richard,B.,Lt.Cdr.,Aeng.,U.S.S. Manticore NCC-5852-A

 

The room was at minimal lighting as Hilee entered his quarters. What a day it had been indeed. The first Meng inspection since return to Manticore and the assignment of crew to make right the gigs found while they had been on their little excursion to Romulus, It appears when the Cat's are away the others will play.

 

The overall engineering section had not been in ill repair or unkept ...overall,just not within the shape Commander Garnoopy, or myself expected it to be kept in. the white glove when revealed did cause a bit of a nervous reaction from some of the engineering techs and staff.

 

The scotch in the glass swirled as he sniffed the aged single malt whisky with a slow deep appreciation. It had been quite sometime since he had the opportunity to simply sit and relax while taking in the soft background music from the highlands.The day had began right enough until Lt.doug T. had asked to speak in private which resulted in a report and subsequent complaint filed against another officer connected with an incident that did occur while on mission on Romulus.

 

I had mentioned and advised during the proceedings I had witnessed the incident and advised as well Doug that extraordinary measures had been taken due to his own behavior that possibly could have compromised the mission and the away team. I as well advised him that the follow up complaint and charges may in fact not go the way he thought it may. Being so advised Mr.T elected to continue the proceedings being so advised.

 

I had returned to the engineering deck post filing and securing the complaint and sending copies to Commander Garnoopy and the involved departmental heads as per regulations. The return to the main console found an air of intense activity from Mr.Pilot apparently attempting to run a trace on the engineering computers logs and recordings.

 

The report and complaint of course was reported to Chief Garnoopy at that time and opportunity. It appeared while Doug and I were involved in the complaint there had been a transmission made from engineering,or one of the consoles...that in itself is not that odd with the obvious exception it had been done prior to our reentry into Federation space while still in Romulan space.

 

Commander Precip had entered engineering while the activity had been at the peak..and an ensuing heated discussion had taken place. Commander Garnoopy standing firm beside the engineering staff and actually advising an investigation be made into the mistreatment of engineering staff by security staff. I as well as others replied to the chiefs interrogatories as it pertained to either making or personally observing anyone making any kind of communication from engineering.

 

I can certainly understand Commander Precip's position and his duty. The ensuing lock down of engineering and interviews of the staff fall well within the security departments prevue if necessary and ordered by command...and apparently it came from the highest in the command structure. I do not know whom or how this communication was carried out,or why. I reflect on an old adage however "As you sow,So shall you reap" as I have personally witnessed this on many occasions to be true. I have little doubt all will be revealed in the end.

 

The opportunity to shop for a wedding gift looms in my future as well as my friend Commander Faldek has become engaged. I can only wish he and his bride to be the very best...we all deserve some modicum of joy in our lives...especially those of us whom serve on a black ops ship, never truly knowing just how much time you have left to enjoy.
