Officer's Log... Stardate some long number I can't be assed to remember.

A whole freakin' race that controls the Borg. Well I'll be damned. I have no idea how they're doing it either. Man would I want to get my hands on that tech. And it'd have to be some tech, considering what this race has at their fingertips. I mean, for all we know, they could be controlling the one cube, or they could have more hiding on that planet of their's. Something like that is some powerful shit, let me tell you. Grandpa would have had a field day at an opportunity like this. There's so much to learn from a race like this, but it would also mean getting up close and personal with them.

That's probably not so viable at this point. Everyone seems to think that if we so much as sneeze in the wrong direction, these guys'll gun us down and leave no survivors. As much of a case as that may be, there's also a good chance that they're not nearly as hostile as is believed to be. Then again, I'm coming from the most outside of spectrums as I can. Hopping straight from the Venture and into this mess only gives me a different perspective on the matter. Doesn't make it the right one, but maybe if everyone simmered down a little...

Nah. I haven't given anyone on the crew a chance yet. There's a grumpy Romulan scientist I might not want to cross paths with, and some of the Ops personnel is nice, but I haven't really gotten to know anyone. Might have something to do with the large-ass, remote controlled Borg cube hovering over our heads, but I've noticed the engineering personnel are kind of... quieter? Or louder. And I think I need subtitles for one of them. Yes, definitely subtitles. Most of his engineering jargon is pretty understandable, but once he gets himself excited it's like I'm listening to a gaggle of ostriches. And then there's that really quiet one. I can't tell if she's just shy or just trying to keep her head down...

Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with them, and talk to them like I'd like to. This mission coming up's something I might not come back from. I trust the captain to make the right decisions, but sometimes things get in the way. There are too many potential mishaps coming into play for me to think that that even someone has keen-eyed as the captain seems to be foresaw everything. Won't complain though, the Galileo's not a bad vessel. I just want to make sure this gets itself down somewhere. I don't want my parents thinking I forgot them in all the bustle. As long as I've been away from Earth, I still miss them dearly. I just wish it had been... a little different. Can't look too far back now though, too much ahead for me to look back. Might get shot by something if I do.

But I definitely should get going now. Wouldn't want to get in trouble with someone for missing the window.
