Mission Logs for Avenger, “The Wandering Wander”.

Mission Summary

Mission dates: 21406.01 through 21503.01

Avenger

While en-route to pick up a team of scientists, the Commanding Officer of the USS Avenger was nearly killed in an assassination attempt. In the wake of her removal to Starbase Delta for medical treatment, the Avenger detects a distress signal from a planet thought to be uninhabited and moves in to assist. They find a planet full of death with logs suggesting the work of a microbe, but soon some of their own begin to exhibit symptoms.

While attempting to uncover answers, an unknown being makes its presence known and claims it wants to help, though it hardly seems coincidental.

It's official. I think I'm suppose to be happy right now but really, I'm just... everything feels like it is shifting.

I guess I'm not wrong. Tam is gone, transferred to the second fleet. Thomas has done his best to replace her with a young woman named Sophia Rush -- she's an unusual choice with a background in support, cross trained in both medical and security, but maybe my husband knows me better than I expected... I do gravitate towards the unusual choices.

For instance, I not only forced Jenny to stay but I made her acting Chief Tactical officer. Admittedly, it was my plan before I heard her half-brained plan to run off and waste her potential without even telling me, but one doesn't normally thrust the people that disappoint you into a position to disappoint you even more.

I also made Ethan acting-CE. That one is a little less unorthodox, though I know Schwartz is less than happy. Maybe, if he acted like a mature man capable of being an officer in a senior leadership role, he might get considered as well. Ethan will do well, if he grows a backbone.

As of now, Starfleet has us making a milk run. I'd normally bemoan the boring nature of such a mission but after the Krynar, this has been well deserved. However, without a distraction, I might make myself insane... more insane.

Personal Log, Supplemental

Not even a day out of dock and I'm already worrying myself to death, second guessing my decision to wait to finalize everything until we get back to Delta.

Part of me hates not telling Thomas but part of me doesn't want to get his hopes up if I'm wrong. We both want this... and I think it would feel like something was stolen from us if my gut is wrong. Then again, when was the last time my gut was wrong?

Some ship wide drills would take my mind off this... it'd distract everyone else to... yep, Sophia might hate it but it'll be good for her as well. She needs the experience.
