Personal Log, Stardate 10301.16; During this short lull in the frantic search for Captain Moose, Cmdr. Alces, and others, I submit this log to the record.

Maybe later... flashback a few days.  I had just returned from shore leave a day early with a group of junior officers.  We hitched a ride on a Starfleet transport heading for Caledon II, only a short shuttle hop to Arcadia.  And, there we were, on Arcadia, bored out of our wits, and off duty for another 24 standard hours.  We parted ways.  I started inventories of the new equipment we had acquired.  But, how long can one stare at equipment, minus a good experiment?  I mused a bit about restarting work on an old standby project on the physics of order and disorder, but just was not getting into it... starting a new experiment is what one does on duty, not on the last day of shore leave.  And, so, I picked myself up and headed to 10-forward.  Of course, they were all there: Shelby, Daniels, Hamilton - naming the crowd was like reading the ship's manifest of my transport.  We drank the watered-down replicator beer and other similar-quality "refreshments" that seem to be the only things our bartender knows how to make.  We got creative attempting to entertain ourselves.  And thus, in the midst of the dual crises of missing-crew members and the chance of war with Vogarts, the bridge crew would be introduced to my ability, or lack thereof, to dance on bar-tables.  No further elaboration will be given.

On more important matters, back in the present: Twelve crew members, including the captain, are still missing.  A large Vogart ship still looms on our viewscreen.  Our probe had detected exactly 10,000 weak lifesigns through the aft exhaust port of the Vogart ship, in addition to the 1,000 strong ones we had already identified on ship's sensors.  A vertiron-vibrational spectrum scan that broke our newest piece of equipment was unable to locate our crew on the Vogart ship.  Mysteriously, it only detected 9,988 life-forms there, bringing up the intriguing possibility that the Vogarts are also missing twelve crew members; although the scan was only about 75% accurate, the probability of such a coincidence is too low to ignore.  In addition, I have been trying to trace an H-band subspace blip that was detected by the probe.  I have been unable to localize it to the Vogart ship; in fact, all the data seems to indicate that it came from behind the Vogart ship.  Is it space noise? Or a transmission?  And how does this relate to the Captain's previous loss of molecular cohesion following the Risa incident?
