Personal Log, Ensign Wil Ukinix. Stardate 239603.06

After our almost forced new life on Limbo, the long break on Earth was nothing short of perfect. It was great to spend some R&R time with my family and G’var. It made me appreciate what I’ve got at home, how lucky I am to have the loving family I have – and having G’var with me reminded me how lucky I am to have the family I have on the Veritas.

About a week ago I told Captain Rahman that I was onboard early because I wanted to come back and be a starship engineer, like I get a second chance to start. Standing with my Chief and my fellow engineers, it really does feel like my first day again – the difference being that I know that this time I’m surrounded by friends. And having the Veritas temporarily so close to my home is special for me. I’m sure I’m not the only one from the Sol system that feels the same way.

Even though I’ve already been here for a few weeks, I can sum up how I feel in a few simple words – “it’s good to be back starting again”.

Captain’s Log, Stardate 239603.06

We’ve left Utopia Planitia and are underway back to a place that holds many memories for both myself and a number of this crew: the Menthar Corridor. Many of those memories are good ones: my first assignment as chief engineer of the Mercury and the wonders of discovery that we encountered mission after mission under Captain Kells and later Captain Egan Manno on the Garuda. Others, not so much: the cybernetic spiders of Deep Space 10, the protomatter cloud that gave rise to a botanic infestation on the Garuda, and of course the sabotage of that ship later by Harrison Ross in the midst of the volcanic mud dome crisis on Pleethion.

Regardless, going back to the Corridor this time feels less like a nostalgic trip to an earlier chapter of my life and more like coming back to a neighborhood you once lived in only to find the neighbors have changed—or left completely—and the condition of the place has deteriorated since your memories. Everything seems… colder.

For most of the junior officers aboard, this will be their first time to the Corridor and their first dive into deep space. Though it may not be known for the pirates, storms, and anomalies that give the Shoals its formidable reputation, the Corridor is no less dangerous. Though it is an exciting milestone in their careers, I hope they are spared an encounter with the terrors that still lurk out there among these ancient stars.
