Sitting in front of the computer in engineering which was now quiet the Galileo once again zooming to face an uncertain fate Kala began to record her log.

"I have expressed my concerns, but all have fallen on death ears... the Galileo is not ready to go back out especially against the Tholians and that's just because of the command staff, I have heard more rumors in the past twenty-four hours than I ever did at the academy and now we're being told to ready the ship for battle?

We are literally holding this bucket of bolts with chewing and the hopes and prayers of the crew which let's be honest means jack but this is what happens when your Captain runs off on a wild goose chase the XO is bumped down by some old-timer and you're a part of a task force, you know what I think I'm going to put in a transfer to a space station after this because damn my stress levels are at critical

To put things in perspective boffins at Starfleet when this is recovered after the Tholians has decided to stop playing mind games, we are currently running at twenty percent shields, we have micro-fractures all over the hull and we've already had to refit a large portion of the new systems with old ones form the rest of the fleet, if we were near a dry dock we'd be there for months. I suppose that does give us grease monkeys some credit but the whole department has been bled dry I don't think I've had more than an ounce of sleep and I haven't washed in at least three days... Urgh, I need some more coffee, Just o me a favor will ya, don't say we died fighting for the true meaning of Starfleet or some rubbish like that tell them we died because some admiral somewhere decided there fuck up constituted in our destruction so we could keep everything a secret whatever that secret is."

*BEEP BEEP BEEP Warpcore temperatures reaching critical*

"Brilliant, the warp core is overheating again, guess that's my queue. Peace"

Kala jumped of her chair before stopping the log, from the small camera it could be seen smoke billowing from the core as engineers rushed around as they contained the overheating anyway they could. Everyone now and then Kalas Trill spots flashed by as she barked orders.

"Someone left their log running" Mumebeled a voice over the shouting, "Computer end log," Said a male voice the only visual aid was the bottom half of their tunic engineers yellow as the log finished recording.
