Stardate 40956.4 - Personal Log, Lt JG Elli Vos

Posted on 20 Aug 2020 @ 9:23pm by Lieutenant JG Elli Vos

The Trill woman almost runs into her quarters and goes straight for the bed, letting herself get tackled by the frame and faceplant into the matras. For a few seconds, she was silent, then she pulled her face out of the covers.

"Computer, personal log, Stardate .. Stardate about bloody time. First time I got to sit in the big one. Hot damn that chair's comfy. They should put the same ones all over the bridge. Anyway, being in command isn't the easiest thing. It seems simple, but once you stand up there. You really know the pressure. Mostly it went well, we just had to simulate a proper response and find a way to track their shuttle. But it wasn't until Kyr showed up suddenly that things turned around."

Elli poured herself a glass of water and drank it in one go. Sitting down on her coach, she put the glass down and continued. "So Kyr came back on the bridge and suddenly said that the shuttle wasn't supposed to leave. In that split second, realizing what he said, I had to make a call. Either not do anything, as based on the plan, or lock them down, but risk exposing ourselves. -sigh- I had to make the 2nd call. Rather safe than sorry, I suppose. Thankfully the captain was right behind me and took over from there, I'm not sure I would've done so hot had he stayed in the bowels of the ship."

She looked out the window, the final leg of their mission still ahead. Her face was radiant, a welcome change from the past weeks. Even if it was only for a short time and she didn't do much, she was chosen. And that definitely left an impression. "I think I should see the counsellor. And, the commander. I should definitely talk to the both of them. Well. That's something for after the mission, I think. Computer, end log."
