Personal Log: Captain Alfred Torn

Captain's Log, supplemental.

The Away Team is stranded on the Acebi homeworld, we have had no contact with the team sent to stabilize the Boryhas, one death and many injuried aboard the Atlantis and the potential for recognizing Glitch as a sentient lifeform.

I must be cracking under the strain.

Once we manage to recover our Away Team, I think I will schedule some quiet time with the ship's counsellor or Chief Medical Officer or a large bottle of bourbon. All seem to be as logical as the next.

A hologram as a living being?

Or is that as crazy as it seems at first blush?

End supplemental.

Captain's Log, Supplemental

We have located the source of the distress call, a derelict space ship. Oddly, the vessel is in close relation to a nebula emitting sub-space radiation that is creating a "cloaked" area of space. That is the reason given by LT Jomorr, our CSO, for the fact our sensors did not pick up the vessel until we were very close.

I have authorized an Away Team to explore the vessel, who's design is familiar in some ways, but unlike anything we have met so far.

The U.S.S. Atlantis continues her mission of stellar mapping, confirming star charts and data from Federation probes. A nice, quiet mission is allowing our new officers to settle in, and after what the Atlantis has been through since arriving in the Gamma Quadrant I can't complain about a 'boring mission.'

My new First Officer, Paul Velden, seems to be making his presence known on board ... however I still wish I had a permanent Second Officer assigned. I have been assured that as soon as a good candidate is located, we will get the officer.

The Bridge intercepted a distress call, that seems to be automated, a short time ago. I have given orders to proceed on an intercept course at Warp 2 to scan the area.

The USS Atlantis will be starting a new mission to map Sector G-23.16.74 as soon as our new First Officer and replacement crew arrives from D.S. 9.
Starfleet has advised me that Intelligence reports show this to be an uninhabited, at least by warp-capable civilizations, sector.

On a personal note, I do not put much faith in Starfleet Intelligence's reports on warp-capable civilizations in this quadrant. I would feel better having a more experienced officer at the Tactical Console and with a fully staffed Command Team and Medical Department.

Well, the Atlantis has several missions that are being discussed. I would like to thank everyone who submitted those ideas and encourage more input from the crew.

We have Ghost Ship coming up next. I won't discuss any of the details here, you'll have to wait for the mission to start. Thanks go to Chantal for this one.

As I start my personal log as Acting Commander of the USS Atlantis, I look back on my career and the odd twists that have brought me to this place and time.
