I remember everything till up to the point where we all beamed back to the Excalibur. I remember our time on that lonely little asteroid all the way in the gamma quadrant. Bitter tasted medicine it was I believe, it did taste awfully bitter. I thought it would have been just like every other away mission, I was totally wrong on that one.

 

Day one was very uneventful; we just left Excalibur with our supplies, doctor, bodyguards, and materials to set up our little camp. It took us along time to place the camps and we got the privilege of seeing Excalibur run off to safety while we worked quietly. We got most of the preliminary work done but haven't got to the bigger stuff yet.

 

Day two was fairly uninteresting except for the fact that there were issues being posed regarding food and air supplies, they were running low. I couldn't help but wonder where the ship went and if they were all right or not. Heck it was impossible to tell now. I spent most of the time looking up at that distant star that was blinking through all the junk nearby, while the diagnostic ran of course. We had a good start on the digging and eventually got it done the day before. We started to place the listening post together, molecule by molecule, as they say.

 

Day three was harsher than usual; Ens. McKnight fell down a cliff while trying to obtain some terrestrial oxygen gas, which was emanating from a vent near by. This was the second time he did something extremely dangerous, but he's still alive. I guess stress was high on this day, every one was crowded in the medical tent, except me, I continued working on the calculations for the listening post's transmitters. I had no particular idea what happened in that tent but I know arguments arose, and I just don't want to imagine fellow officers fighting.

 

The night this day was the time where our oxygen had nearly depleted, and this is where i started to forget things. The listening post had finished; we decided to transmit a small distress signal. It was received and there came Excalibur. I remember the familiar tingling sensation of the transporters then poof, there goes my memory.

 

I woke up in sickbay after that ...

 

I'm still clueless, as when it was or what was I doing, I believe this kind of thing happens when you've been choked in your EVA helmet for too long. Great....
