Exciting news today, was woken up early (you'll pay me back for that Jay) by Gwen who told me they're reading life signs on the ship! 41 people apparently and, if its the right ship, engineering specs show that it normally supports around 40 people, so that sounds like everybody is alive! I am so happy.

Stardate: 203188

Wow, what a difference in mood on the ship today! We've picked up a ship on the sensors this morning, and we turned to intercept. Trouble is, it's so far away and at the edge of the sensors, we only know it to be a ship. Don't know if it's one of ours or not. Hope you are ok Jay. I hope it's you

Sigh.. look at the time 23:30. Muggins here managed to tweak the sensor array in the Nidus Dish yesterday. And then get stuck. Stuck in the crawl space with my arms up, flat on my stomach and no way to reach my communicator. It took them until today to notice, and apparently I was due to meet up with the Captain! My mums going to kill me, she wanted an autograph. I wonder what he wanted?

Stardate: 203186

I needed to do something to take my mind off Jay, him being lost in space is scaring me. So I volunteered to scramble behind the Nidus Dish and see if I can reach the scanner's plasma controls. The Nidus Dish is on the front of the ship and is where all the plasma fields run to - like a core - and when we channel scanners, energy or weapon controls through it, it multiplies it's effect. Trouble is, the settings are normally done when we are in space dock and you can access if from outside. While in space, its a very tight crawl space!

Stardate: 203185

Its funny, I seem to be doing things automatically. All my thoughts are with Jay. Chief got me tweaking settings for the sensors and phaser banks and apparently I did a good job, but I can't remember what I've done. Maybe I should work more like this, let my subconscious work overtime if it means we get better ship performance.

Stardate: 203184

Its 0400 hours, and I can't sleep. Saw the ships counsellor last night and she broke the news that my brother was on the Missing ship. He should have been on the surface, what was he doing in a ship? It feels like we just dropped out of hyperspace. I've learned the different resonances that are almost inaudible on a ship this big, that help you gauge what the ships doing. I'm not telling mum yet, Jay might be ok. I think I'll get dressed and see if there's anything I can do in Engineering.

Stardate: 203183

I was put on shield duty today with Gwen. We both worked very hard as Chief said that if we can get an overall improvement of even 1% on the scanners and shields we'd all get extended shore leave at our next dock. We'll know if we got it by tomorrow, but Gwen and I managed to increase the efficiency of the shields by about 0.2%. Chief told us anything was good! Oh, and Chief mentioned to me that he wanted me to see the Ships Counsellor at the end of my shift. So a quick hydroshower and that's where I will be heading next.

Stardate: 203182

Was just about to teleport down to the surface to see if I could find Jay, and it's been announced that we are leaving again in about 30 mins. All shore leave has been put on hold and all staff have been recalled to duty. Rumours are that a small craft got attacked by the Matak craft that we passed through. I bet the pilot was trying to be a hero all of a sudden and broke formation - stupid twit. Anyway, we're heading back and Captain wants full whack on the engines again. I better log, there's my duty call.

Stardate: 203181

Yay! We've arrived at Ralos 3. Once I've finished my shift, I'll go and find Jay. I'm assigned to plasma monitoring in Cargo Bay 14 as there are a lot of supplies that need to be teleported down to the surface and we don't want half the food turning to mush.

Stardate: 203180

Better not be in my logs for too long today, Chief is stretching the engine and he needs all crew at their stations. I'm just on a short break before my eyes blur from concentrating on plasma safety levels for too long. We don't always get to hear about why things are pushed faster, but it's our job. I'll get to see my brother Jay soon, so I don't mind the slightest!

Stardate: 203179

Enemies are so unfair. There I was, sitting on a nice beach.. reading an old book that I was able to store in the holodeck, when we had some attack from some tiny ships that Chief called Mataks, some kind of one man attack ships. Anyway, they were no match for Captain and our ship! We scared 'em good and proper!  Couple of minor plasma blows here and there to fix, which is what I am working on at the moment and have to go back to finish in a moment. Some of the Re-Gen Crystals have been scorched, but we can get some replacement ones at Ralos when we get there.

Stardate:203178

Managed to get a nice bit of time set up in the holodeck, going to find a nice quite place to sit and unwind and read. Looks like its going to be a quiet day.

Stardate: 203177

Got a pat on the back today for fixing a fault that a superior had missed. Conduit 20 or 21, had a faulty plasma linkage in it which was inhibiting the Scanners by about 0.02% Doesn't sound much, but for our ship that's a solar systems worth!

Stardate: 203176

Was assigned to conduit 21 today. I can't understand how the Chief could ever know which one he is in by the look of the inside. Every plasma pipe is the same, every holomem emits the same blinking light. Oh except conduit 21 turned about to be conduit 20. Probably there again tomorrow then.

Stardate: 203175

Well yesterday was a disaster for all involved. An argument broke out in the engine room and a couple of ensigns ended up in Sick Bay with black eyes. Thankfully we managed to keep it quiet from Chief and so the Captain didn't get to hear of it! Thankfully I wasn't involved, but I felt sorry for Danny!

Stardate: 203174

Two things made me worry today. Captain is holding a "Senior Personnel" dinner today (please please don't discover the Steak Pie is not Chef's!) and Lieutenant Dahle is "taking command" of our section while Chief is at dinner and for the record he hates my guts.

Oh, for the record too, I hate his too, but then Dahlians stomachs are on the outside of their body until they reach Maturity.

Chief had a joke on me today. He told me to go to the stores and find a Quantum Spanner to tweak the Quantum Mechanics in the Subphonic Drive. ha very funny.

Stardate: 203172

Quite happy today, it was announced that we are heading to Ralos 3. Jay is living there at the moment, and it'll be nice to see my brother again. Contacted mum and she forwarded some home cooking algorithms for his Nutritional Units, as he is allergic to some of the supplements they add in the default ingredients. Might keep some of mum's cooking here too, she makes a mean Steak Pie - don't tell the Chef, but I might upload it into his console.

Stardate: 203171

All systems functioning and we are underway and not a moment too soon. I just lost a game of Chaos with a Treling bodyguard and accidently ran out of credits before I was teleported back to the ship.  hehe silly mug!

Stardate: 203170

It worked! Chief was most impressed. Not going to waste my holomem on the science of it, but it came down to two things can't occupy the same space! Apparently they caught a Treling who wanted to sell off our ship to some guy for major money! I'm in the wrong job, I tell you.

Stardate: 203169

Been thinking about food all night, and it's given me an idea.  Something I learned about Sauzris and what happened to the Nutritional Unit. Hmm.. I better tell Chief first.
