The following are the personal logs of Lieutenant JG Brayden Jorey.
Stardate 238912.05 - Cadet No More
Computer, begin transmission. Personal log, Stardate 238912.05 - USS Degault, Personal Quarters.
I have completed my years at the academy and my cadet cruise aboard the Degault. It has been an extraordinary experience filled with study, sport, and passion. I have accomplished so much, yet there is a part of me that knows there is so much more coming. Everything up to now has been like a prologue to a much more remarkable story. The spirit of my grandfather still whispers for me to prepare for difficult but amazing times ahead.
I am heading to Starbase 118, a station wedged between federation space, the Klingon Empire, and the Romulans. There I will complete my final exam aboard the USS Centris. I have no idea what to expect, which I suppose is part of the test, but I feel more than prepared for whatever they can throw at me. It will be hard to say goodbye to the Degault and Koroth, but with the ending of the prologue comes the real beginning of the story. Computer, end transmission.
Stardate 238912.15 - First Assignment
Computer, begin transmission. Personal log, Stardate 238912.15 - Starbase 118.
Despite being shot and apparently killed in action during my simulation with Lt.Cmdr Firestarter on the Centris, I have graduated from Starfleet Academy and have already received my first assignment. I have been assigned to the USS Tiger-A, a Prometheus Class heavy cruiser, under the command of Captain Sidney Riley. Transport has been arranged to bring me to the Bilire System where I will rendezvous with the Tiger and begin my post as a ship's helmsman.
It's not the tactical position I was hoping for, but I will be on the bridge and will have the opportunity to prove myself to the senior staff. The current mission on Bilire IV involves providing assistance to a group of displaced Romulan colonists. I will miss the Degault, especially Koroth, but I am excited to start this new part of my life. The USS Tiger-A is one of the few Federation vessels left in the Ithassa Region. It is a politically active and volatile area of the Alpha Quadrant, exactly the kind of environment that I believe I will flourish in. Computer, end transmission.
Stardate 239006.29 - Six Months on the Tiger
Computer, begin transmission. Personal log, Stardate 239006.29 - CAG Office, USS Tiger-A.
It has been just over six months from my last log. So much has happened, some good and some bad, that I guess I haven't really had the time or thought to record a personal log in six months. On my first mission to Bilire IV, I was kidnapped with Lieutenants Ah'mygahn and Tagren by a race unfamiliar to me called Reapers. We were trapped in our own minds in a shared nightmare, but were soon rescued. Following that mission we were granted leave and enjoyed time on Starbase 17. During that time Counsellor Zinna had determined that I was suffering from a sort of post-trauma disorder. Evil spirits seemed to have followed me back from the Reaper ship and the counsellor helped to cast them out at great personal cost. I was promoted to the rank lieutenant junior grade following the Billire IV mission.
The Tiger was then sent on a mission to recover a century old Federation shuttle that had begun sending out a distress call from the Hermates Sector. However, we encountered the Free Trade Union and an unknown ship. When everything was said and done, the Curie was left behind contaminating a pre-warp civilization, the FTU ship was destroyed by the unknown vessel and the entire mission was an epic disaster. However, I watched three of my colleagues be promoted to full lieutenant. All I will say on the matter is that quiet, thoughtful contemplation doesn't seem to catch the attention of command. However, from what I think is a result of the power of the unknown vessel encountered in the Hermates Sector, Captain Riley has seen fit to bestow upon me the honour of heading up the Tiger's Tactical Assault Wing and appointed me the Commander of Air Group. This is a very exciting and unique opportunity. One that I am looking forward to fulfilling. Computer, end transmission.
