Well I start this log in Engineering, and not in my quarters. Sadly to say, we have intruders on board. It was suggested that Engineering should be locked down, for no one can get in our out. Excalibur is low on security, so the lockdown was the perfect suggestion. I ordered the ENG crew to seal all doors, hatches, and turbo lifts that lead to Engineering.

 

While lockdown was in effect, the crew and I were repairing damaged systems. We were focusing on the plasma converter, conduits and other various systems. Ensign Hanson was basically my assistant all day, he helped me the most with the on going repairs. I never really worked with the man, he used to pull off night shifts so I was sleeping at those times. But he had to pull double shifts due to half the crew away on the asteroid. I look forward to working with him more.

 

Just as everything was going well, we were attacked. That made me frustrated, well I already was but it increased my frustration. Half the systems that I was repairing were damaged again. I was about to give up.

 

Eventually the intruders, who were Jem’hadar, stormed the bridge. I immediately learned this info out by observing a console that connects with Bridge activity. I felt guilty that I couldn’t do anything, after all Engineering was locked down and decks down. I helplessly prayed that my commanding officer and friends would mount up courage and defeat the jem’hadar.

 

The console picked up wounded but still a live crewmembers, and dead jem’hadar. I felt relieved. I am now resuming with the repairs. Still in engineering, locked up indefinitely. I will keep Engineering in lockdown until I am assured we are safe.

 

Well, the 6 crewman in Engineering, are probably listening to me logging this. Oh well, sometimes you just have to let it out.
