Trek Log: 002 - Holo Drills and Borg Trills

Well, Starfleet has finally done it. After six whole weeks of non-stop drill, I can honestly say that I am without a doubt... sick of the damn holodeck. They say it's a fleet wide effort to up our readiness, but Starfleet has been laying it on real thick. I haven’t had to train this hard since the Academy, and I ain’t gettin’ any younger. I’m hurting all over, and I’m not the only one. Command has really been running us through the grinder; Tactical Sims, Espionage, First contact, Engineering, Diplomacy. Sims with Klingons, Sims with Romulans. Hell we’ve been tackling a drill that contains those "Neural Parasites" that the captain of the Flagship ran into a couple years back! I wish they’d give us a break... maybe run us through one of those uh, Ferengi programs I’ve heard so much about? Yeah right. I guess if we run into holograms out there, we'll know just what to do. At least I've been able to train alongside a number of my fellow officers, some of which ...

Trek Log: 001 - Prologue

This is the first official "Trek Log", recorded by your trusty "narrator" Lt. Higgins. My shift just ended, and believe me, ten hours overhauling and installing Power Regulators is a real pain in the butt. But I digress. So where should I begin? Times are certainly interesting in Starfleet right now, I can tell you that. With the discovery of this new wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant near one of our Deep Space stations, "9" I think, everybody's excitement has quickly become sobering watchfulness. It seems their is another power on the other side called the "Dominion", and they don't appear to be too friendly. While this discovery is totally amazing (the first stable wormhole? ( That flies in the face of all my professors back at the Academy!) , even Starfleet Command's usual brazenness for the unknown has been a bit tempered. We haven't been told much, but I heard a few of ours ships have gone missing while explorin...

Personal Log : - Introduction to "Adventure"

And so it Begins... As a recommendation via the ships counselor, and as a new avenue of exploration for my particular therapy, I have been advised to keep a personal log of my life, my fellow officers, and the goings on aboard my ship. Why this should help, I have absolutely no idea.  I have never been one to keep journals, even as a kid, but in an effort to satisfy the powers that be, i'll give it a shot. Considering my stress levels have been creeping up on me in recent weeks, I guess i'm down to try any new treatment if it helps. The weird thing is, she wants me to record my life as if i'm the narrator of a story that is being written. Like I have the power to control it...  She explained that this might help empower me to deal with my own personal issues, and by writing my life like an episode of some crappy holo program, I could better manage my own life. Maybe get a hold on my bouts of anxiety? Right. Counselors. Sigh. Well, here goes nothing. As an Officer in Starfle...
