MISSION LOG 00.5 "Rahk`barr's Personal Log"
Ensign Rahk`barr's Personal Log:
After 10 days aboard the Melbourne, I'm due to arrive at my first post since graduating from Starfleet Academy. It's a new class of vessel called the StarQuest-A. These 10 days have been -- what do the humans call it? -- heckish? How on Romulus did these people ever make it into space? They're so damned cheerful! And it's completely beyond my intellect how such an otherwise inferior species could create such breathtaking music.
I'm convinced that, if it hadn't been for the Dominion attack several decades ago, the Federation would be ruled from Romulus (or maybe Kronos) right now. And if we hadn't intervened on their behalf, the Federation would all be speaking Jem'Hadar right now.
But I digress.
I am anxious to reach this StarQuest and begin my duties as pilot, which the captain tells me will be in the next couple of hours. Strange, but he/she/or it seemed relieved to be getting rid of me. In any case, this will finally give me something to do. All this inactivity doesn't agree with me, any more than the Federation food.
Well, I will do my best not to complain. Who knows, there may even be someone aboard with an intellect worthy of association, if not actual friendship. There were several such persons at the Academy, though I can never tell anyone back home about it. Nobody would believe it, and if anybody DID believe it, they would have me arrested as a traitor.
In the meantime, I will continue to remind myself of why I left homeworld in the first place.
Computer, end personal log.
