"Their empathic/telepathic contact leads to a natural trait of complete honesty, somewhat troubling to outworlders when practiced fully. The telepathy is not inborn but almost always comes on with adolescence. There are also cases of over-empathic abilities, and those who suffer from such extremes must be counseled and trained to avoid insanity, but are almost always affected throughout their life."

Wero a very annoying man, keeps a very close eye on us while we're doing him a favor. Now he's pressing charges on the best First Officer in all of StarFleet. On what grounds? How can He accuse Cmdr. Ridire of something that he didn't do, if anything he should press charges on me. I'm the one that is messing with the relays. I'm the one replacing them. How dare he, Ridire has helped through alot of personal problems. I view him like a father figure since both my parents are dead.

To continue Mr. McLean told me to get to work right away, and fix the bloody Relays for Wero (Not a very nice man). While I was working on repairing the relays one of them began to crumble in my hands, this is not normal for relays. I got two or three done then it happened again now I was freaking out. What is going on here?

When I was finished I climbed out very carefully making sure that relays would not crumble again (just incase pressure was making them fall apart). I was very sure that relays don't do this, so I asked Mr. McLean if I could have Payton check it out for us. The answer was yes.

I ran off to find out the answer to just one of my questions. Payton explained that the relays had been tampered with, probably to hide something or something to that effect. Then to my surprise a ship appeared out of no where. It was just sitting there. The whole away team began to try and figure who they are and why their here. What we learned was that it was a StarFleet Ship; the USS OLYMPIC. Why on earth were they here? The REAENT was the StarFleet ship ordered to this region.

Wero came running in screaming about how he was going to press charges on Ridire, with explanation of why. When he left we were ordered to return to the REAENT right away...when we were on board again Mr. McLean and myself ran straight for Engineering, but the only way there was a turbolift.

While in the TurboLift-

Graham:"Things are going to get bad aren't they?"

McLean:"I have no idea, engineers never get told anything all we do is wait until the captain needs his chair adjested"

Graham:(Laughed).

I ran to my post turned on the screen on my panel and noticed that the ship was headed straight for the station. I diverted all secondary power to weapons and engines. I hoped that we would be able to stop the collision. We were able to stop most of it but two large peices remained. They impacted with the station with in seconds. There was nothing we could do.
