Begin Log:

 

Our trip through the Bajoran wormhole was a success. I’ve recently arrived to the Republic from Deeps Space Nine as an assistant engineer. I must say the ship is massive; it’s more massive in person. After reaching the Gamma quadrant the Republic stopped at New Bajor to stop for supplies and new crewman. Since the ship will be docked for several days, Admiral Blurox has given the crew R and R for the time being. I must say New Bajor is just as beautiful as Bajor, despite the fact that the population was eradicated not long before the Dominion War started, with the devastation left behind on the planet.

Shore leave was very relaxing but not uneventful. During my time on the planet I ran into Lt. Apollo Link, an Arbazan. When we meet he had the word “NERD” suntanned on his back, which I could tell was not pleasant. And knowing the fact that Arbazans are very formal, well… things didn’t go too well when Apollo found out. I had tried many attempts to inform Apollo about his situation but he took it the wrong way. When the facts were made clear, he became more furious, especially at Lt. Skippy. Being the careful type I decided to leave and return to the ship. Via returning to the ship I met another officer, we walked and talked for quite some time. She was very nice to speak with, especially after encountering Apollo.

After returning to the ship, I tended to my duties in engineering. It was usual tasks: diagnostics, reports, maintenance, etc. Hopefully it won’t remain this peace and quite for the rest of the mission.
