Ship's Log | To Boldly Go

Ah, wonderful, glorious relaxation.

Not on Risa. On the ship.

Today I start my 4-day shift on the ship. And Jim's not here to tell me not to sit in his chair. So I'm in his chair. And I like it.

Actually, I think technically I'm the senior-most officer on board and I belong in said chair.

Please, no one contract any diseases from your pleasure seeking over the next four days. Because I won't be there.

All right, all right.

Birthdays. Everyone's got one. Leave your birthday here so I can keep a running tab. And yes, I know I can look at my PADD and everything, but this will be faster.

ALSO I know that some of you might not have birthdays that follow the normal calendar? Or, you know, the calendar we all go by? The Federation one? I don't know. It's mostly the same as the one I know only with just numbers and such instead of months but ANYway.

Basically, if you don't know how to match up your birthday (or don't know your birthday?) with the calendar we all use, maybe now's the time to pic a birthday??

Hazel wants to dress up for Halloween. What's the protocol for that?

[DR. MCCOY]

Do I have to make an appointment with you? I don't know how this works.

I'm knocked up. And from Landfall. With a Wreath man's baby. It's a civil war, it's a mess. But I think we're safe here, right?

I didn't realize how much I missed my work until I was researching again. I've stayed in the lab late more nights than not. Now that it feels more normal, it's more relaxing than just about anything else.

If anyone has a more normal way to relax, I'm all ears. I probably shouldn't be staying late this much.

Lomea
Just wanted to check with you, make sure you were all right. I know it hasn't been an easy week for you.

I am curious. Which aspect of humanity do you find most appealing?

I've been thinking of trying some new teas, I tend to prefer white and green teas, any suggestions?

A few announcements!

One, come to the Deck 5 Lounge tonight, there will be drink and cupcake pairings. Don't miss it!

Two, Max and I are starting a fresh-baked cookie delivery service. It will be 24 hours a day so if you have a cookie craving, you know the one where you wake up in the middle of the night and want fresh-baked ooey-gooey chocolate chip cookies (not out of a replicator). Right now we're offering chocolate chip, double chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal raisin.

You'll be able to send either of us a direct message through your tablet and place an order. Since we're making a special request of ingredients from Starfleet, there is a charge of 10 credits per delivery. And yes, we've already okayed this with Captain Kirk and everyone who needs to approve things like that.

Three, who wants to go dancing in the holodeck tomorrow night with me??

I hate ice breakers. So...

F/M/K?

[DM to Caroline Channing]

OKAY, FINE, I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT.

It's weird waking up and you're not there.

This cannot possibly be happening. I mean, really, not possible. Not even a little bit probable.

Max? Max, someone told me you're here which is maybe even more unbelievable than me being here.
