E Re Nata

 

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

 

The recordings had been explicit in the logs from Auxiliary Control main panel. There had been an obvious override and change in the logs from the main engineering console and ergo through the secondary systems and attempted deletions and log changes. The obvious glaring data from the Aux .Control logs had done as designed and logged the time of the override from the main console.

 

The resulting temporary overrides had in effect changed or thrown out of sync the normal timing of the two systems though joined they do work independently for obvious reasons. The event may have gone undetected were it not for the diagnostics routine I had ordered on the primary and secondary systems...ship wide. The secondary systems through Aux. control immediately reported and logged any variances in the computers routines and time stamped.

 

I had initially taken the data as merely a few glitches in the routines as this does occur at times especially when an overhaul of the systems occur or routines cleared and updated. This unfortunately was not the case. I had ordered Mr.Pilot to run the primary diagnostics and find any anomalies...I did not order the anomalies to be corrected,as they in themselves could reveal the root of the problems and therefore offer a way to correct them.

 

I had during the scans of the data stream from Aux. control isolate and log the varying events into a separate file...all the while once engaging and resuming the data scans...the initiators or the source of the problemed data sync conflict seemed to be corrected post haste. The ensuing half hour passed very quickly as the logged events began to build to a definite source of the problem data and recorded events. I had now found a profound and deliberate attempt to not only isolate the logged data...as well a deliberate attempt to cover or replace actual logged activity with a fabricated logging and done by a Command Override from the main console.

 

The crux of this whole damned situation was giving me a definite lurch in my gut as it was apparent there had been a great deal of monkeying around with the main systems and their data recordings. I thought of the conversation with my friend Mr.Pilot as he seemed pensive...a bit more than his usual self.

 

Completing the scans...and logging the data as well as transferring the data to a disk...I asked Mr.Pilot to join me in Aux. control. The reactions from him spoke reams of information as I asked and prodded him to explain the data brought up from the logs. I have asked him first as a friend...the next time it will be as his superior officer if he does not level with me. I full well understand there are times we must all do "As circumstances dictate". I full well know as well we have recently been grilled over and over by Security as it has pertained to an infraction.

 

I have always trusted my fellow shipmates and fellow engineers as we must do so and work as a team just to survive. I cannot and will not however tolerate this kind of situation as the possible repercussions may well effect the ship or department as a whole. I am not suffering under any delusion or naive belief that we are innocent in our missions...especially in black op's...on a black op's ship.

 

I am aware of the necessity of guarded data and missions NTNB..(need to know basis)...however in this particular event...I need to know as it has led to extreme paranoia from the engineering section...and the crews thereof,a definite morale problem along with tattered nerves and mistrust and grumbling's from the whole section all directed at the security department...and that cannot be tolerated. I am of the mind the security dept. has been diligently doing their assigned job...and nothing else.

 

I will get my answers or have someone keel hauled for the lack or direct dereliction...no the apparent attempt to compromise this ships very safety. The need to know far outweighs the possible consequences...and I will have my answers, If I have to go all the way to the top of the command chain. The safety of this ship and crew takes precedence above all else...and nothing short of that is acceptable. computer...End Log: Beep..! :huh:
