"Those Doubts Again.."

Personal Log

Lt Cdr Precip

Starbase 9

 

For the record I am using a personal PADD to record my Log until I have confidence in this Station's Computer System. Once we are presumably reassigned to the USS Manticore...I shall record logs using my standard routine.

 

We have been assigned to Starbase 9 by the Consul General, a highly automated Starbase to test her facilities. From the exterior, the station appears to be a new design; The interior likewise. It appears our mission is to test the capabilities of this large station, using the crewsize we have.

 

I feel however our crew is not quite in shape to test this new station, given our recent exchange with the Liberator. Several severely injured crewmembers have been taken to Station's state of the art Medical facilites. Yet our doctors were not given any additional personel onboard Starbase 9 to assist them, let alone give them some rest time. Combat takes its toll on personel as well as equipment. I dont see why the Consul General didn't think of this. Of course, our physicians are top notch..perhaps I am overtly concerned on this one matter.

 

Clearly however, After the Run-in with the Liberator, I feel the Consul General is not on top of her game. Earlier, The realm of Black Ops which I envisioned her command was simply Manticore herself and perhaps another support vessel to deal with two crises at once. Three Galaxy Class Starships, the Runymede...and the corrupted Liberator have corrected my earlier view. I feel her hidden operations have expanded to the point where they cannot remain hidden. This could be extremely damaging to the Federation. We dodged a bulllet at Wolf 359...or perhaps I should say..the Consul General did.

 

I have commented my thoughts to Captain Sovak. However his response, in my mind suggested the only course of action was mutiny against the Consul General.

Has she become so powerful, that this is the only way one can express disagreement with her policies and decisions? Where have the checks and balances in Starfleet gone?

 

I have had these doubts about Black operations before while serving onboard Manticore. I have been able to set them aside when dealing with junior officers, and for the sake of saving many lives. Unfortunately I feel these doubts will forever remain in me..for My career will always be in Special Operations. For I dont see a way for an individual who has seen what I have seen, to blow a whistle..or simply walk away.
