The Value of Pirate-Themed Holodeck Programs

I’m exhausted. And worried…mostly about Chief Garnoopy, but also the admiral—he was so still before they beamed him out—and all the others who were injured. And the ship. Manticore is badly damaged; Betty and Riker and I managed to shore up some of the damage, but it’s going to be weeks before we’ve got her back to normal, especially with so many hands down.

I feel like I haven’t slept for days now. All the work we put into finalizing the Phase Cloak with Tovan’s invention paid off; Ohno, Ganner, and I all survived the initial mission and the shuttle got us back with Precip. It worked amazingly well, though I was nervous every time we went through a major matter block. I hope Garnoopy will be pleased with the success of his work on the Phase Cloak. …I hope he survives. I haven’t had much chance to check on him, but Betty filled me in when we got back to Manticore. And immediately put me to work on the Warp Core, which was attempting to fail quite rapidly. She said something about Terry Riker having been injured, too, but he sounded well enough from the Bridge where he was issuing commands.

I might not be so exhausted if I hadn’t had to run through about a million miles of Jefferies’ tubing today, on two different ships. I think I need to start working out again. I had an idea for a pirate-themed swimming holodeck program…could be worth the effort. I’ve finished my ice water, so I’d better get back to work.
