Captain's Log
Almost every crewmember on any starship keeps a personal and a professional log. So does the Commanding Officer of a vessel. It informs its readers about the status of ship and crew, how missions are progressing, the CO's personal and professional opinion on matters and any official action taken by him or her. This is a valuable tool for the crew as it gives IC insight into the CO's way of leading his crew and handeling situations, creating more simming material.

- Sitting behind her desk, in the Intrepid-class ready-room of the starship USS Victory, Robin sipped from a steaming mug of chocolate milk while reading a PADD. She had just returned from a highly dangerous mission with her crew, involving the Romulan Celipentha station, and now was preparing for her next moves. While reading, thinking and sipping hot chocolate, the words she previously recorded in her log are playing.
PHOENIX: ...therefore technically the mission has a high probability of succeeding within the approved parameters. ::short pause.:: Which leaves me to plan our next move. I have yet to hear from Janatra, who quite possibly has been recalled for investigation. A delay of the planned rendezvous seems inevitable, therefore I have requested Lieutenant Wadham to contact Admiral Decilla. I plan on beaming the marines aboard a transport while I wait for Janatra’s signal.
- While the voice over continues, Robin moves from her desk to the couch part of the room next to the large windows. The streaking stars of a ship in motion flash by as she sits down on the soft fabric. Still reading her PADD and still carrying the steaming mug of coco.
PHOENIX: We are enroute deeper into Federation space at Warp two right now. We should arrive to my designated coordinates within a few hours. Meanwhile, I intend to discuss a matter with commanders Harden and Diamond. A matter which will have its direct and continuous effect on this ship and its crew. But I am certain the right choices have been made.
- Robin places the mug on the table as she reaches for a second PADD next to her, on the side table. Tabbing a few commands, the reading continues.
PHOENIX: We had other crew arrivals in mid mission. Ensigns Brooks and Proud, who both performed rather well on their first mission. I plan on speaking with them both and welcome them aboard in a more proper way. ::short pause.:: All in all, so far situations seem to go rather well for this ship. Despite of the dangers of the mission we are in, I am beginning to feel more and more optimistic we will bring our orders to a fine ending. It is surprising, how bright former bleak situations can become.
- At that moment, the doors to the ready-room swoosh open. As two officers enter, both wearing two full and one half pips, the screen turns black as the command to do so is given.
PHOENIX: Computer, end log.

TIME: 06:15 HRS
PHOENIX: Captain’s log, stardate 238302.17. The senior officers and myself have beamed over to the IRW Falcon after doctor Harden altered our appearances. So far, the Romulan crew has not questioned their crewmates who have been replaced by us. It seems Commander Janatra is indeed fortunate with a loyal crew. However, I do fear we are not Romulan enough concerning our behavior to fool the crew for long... not to mention the Tal Shiar on the station we are flying towards. To that end, I have requested a conference room of some sort for my senior staff and myself to prepare. We have been discussing and fine-tuning our plans for several hours. Commander Janatra joins us on occasion and has informed me we have left the Azure Nebula and will arrive at the station shortly. Although I trust my crew and their plans and ideas, there is something about all this that stings my mind... what it is exactly, I do not know yet.

PHOENIX: Captain’s log, supplemental. The briefing has provided us with a plausible plan. It will be a high risk mission, but I have complete faith in the crew and their plans. While we prepare for the mission at hand, doctor Harden is making preparations to cosmetically alter our appearances to pose as full blooded Romulans. I ordered the crew to report to sickbay at 14:00 hours, which is in less then thirty minutes. I am hoping to have some good news from the Romulan commander Janatra before then.

- The Intrepid Class starship slowly moved through space. The Captain's yacht Captain Avatar had arrived in was no longer in the area. In the distance, a bright star twinkled in the blackness of
space. Victory seemed to slowly move towards it, although at her current speed reaching it would take forever. During these images, Robin's voice sounded.
PHOENIX: Captain's log, stardate 238301.20. It has been a great evening and night yesterday. The party commander Nugra had organized has been a success. It has been a long time since I saw this crew unwind a little.
- The view changes, now you are observing Robin sitting near the large windows in the Captain's ready room. She is reading PADDS filled with data, and on the table stands a steaming mug of black coffee.
PHOENIX: Also, Captain Avatar gave us a new mission, which we will discuss in a briefing shortly. The mission is given to us to prove this crew's and my worthiness to continue without Captain Hurne. Although I understand Starfleet's desire to test a new command team and crew, I am somewhat concerned about the origin and nature of this mission.
- Again the view changes. This time we're taking a flight through the various corridors and rooms, watching Hunnicutt's people work in Engineering, Tactical in astrometrics and various departments on the bridge. Sickbay briefly flashes by, showing a busy doctor Harden working with some petri dishes.
PHOENIX: Although I have faith in the abilities of the crew, all being professionals and ambitious, there are many things that can go wrong during our time between Klingon and Romulan space. Especially during an unofficial cloak and dagger mission. Unofficial, in this case, means we will be on our own if things go wrong, and Starfleet will not hesitate cutting the cord which keeps this ship and crew together if we fail.
- We are now back in the Captain's ready room and see Robin walking from the couch to her desk, where she takes her seat and continues working. Taking a zip from her mug from time to time while browsing the PADDS, her voice over continues.
PHOENIX: Sufficient to say, we will be alone in a tight spot where being discovered will have catastrophic effect. Not only on the crew, but possibly on Federation – Romulan relations as well, if one could call the current way of interaction between the two powers a relation.
- On the background, the door chime could be heard.
PHOENIX: There is a Chinese curse that says `May you live in interesting times'... well, my gut says interesting times lay ahead for us all. It will be up to us to survive them.
- Just before the image fades to black, the door's swoosh sounded as Robin closed her logs and called for whoever it was at the door to enter.
