The Republic crew seems to always have the knack of running into trouble every time we go on shore leave. The last time was when the crew fell under some illness; recently it was the incident on the Wadi station.

That was an interesting mission, considering we were on shore leave in the Gamma Quadrant. It’s similar to a case that occurred on Deep Space Nine. Several officers on the senior staff were transported into some virtual reality of a Wadi game. Their fates would be decided by the players, which were Cdr. Kwai and Capt. Kawalas and several other Wadi personnel on the station. I had the fortune of walking in on the middle of the game. Watching the captain and commander playing this game, making sure that our fellow colleagues, our friends would make it “home” safe was not an easy thing to do. It wasn’t long before we figured out that the pieces on the board were the missing officers. We did what we could to get them out safely and quickly. We realized that we had to finish the game to retrieve everyone.

As soon as the repairs were completed and everyone returned onboard, we departed the station and set course for the wormhole. An incident that happened while the crew was returning to the ship left my in command for the time being. I have to say, if it wasn’t for the Admiral being knocked unconscious, I probably would not have had the chance to be left in command, even if it was just to hold the fort for a while. Now I understand why people are so eager to become a captain, sitting in the center chair was an exciting experience. And the view was completely different in the command seat. I can’t wait for another chance at it.
