Computer Begin Log:

Umph!!!

*sounds of a bed squeaking and sheets rustling*

Bed....where for art thou been bed...I never though I'd be so happy to climb into one in my life. Not even during my long hours interning during medical school, do I think I have ever been so tired as I feel right now.

Who can honestly say that in the course of four days they went from being an Assistant Medical Officer, to Chief Medical Officer and then onto Second Officer and finally onto Acting Executive Officer...I'm still pinching myself as I figure that this is a dream. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that so much could happen in such a small period of time.

My Command experience is next to nothing, I mean I've dabbled in it in my spare time. I always figured that when a person becomes CMO they take command of sickbay, a vital area as your job is to keep the crew alive and in good health. Without the Doctors, Nurses, Medical Officer, Surgeons, and all the other staff we have, people would unnecessarily die. Being the Chief of sickbay is so important, it's something you can't afford to get wrong, just like being a commanding officer or an executive officer, you can't afford to get your choices wrong there either.

*audible sound of a yawn*

I only wish that the circumstances surrounding all of this happening, well the second officer and acting executive officer roles, were under better circumstances.

The Commanding Officer has been kidnapped by the Klingons alongside our Chief of Intelligence and in all honesty I think that I have yet to...

*audible sound of a yawn lasting a few moments*

Where was I? Oh ye..I have yet to take it all in. I'm not certain that before now I have just been able to sit down and sore a moment for myself. Between the chaos of the attack, the people who needed to be treated afterwards, the change in command structure, I haven't had a...

*a third yawn before Pola's voice returns with a half asleep tone to it*

Uggg...Where was I? I haven't had a moment to sleep or think. Cap naps here and there...it almost feels like in back in medical school trying to do back to back shifts to make up my hours and experience. You know the worst part...blasted Jonathan...I'm still trying to figure why we seem to spark off of eachother. Everything always ends in me bossing him about something or another...honestly I'm surprised I haven't ended up in the brig yet.....

*forth yawn before Pola's voice comes back, barely audible*

And I seemed to have ended up with a roommate despite being assigned quarters on my own. But in this case I don't mind...Aurangbez...he's a real nice kid who's been landed in the middle of a nightmare...I'm not sure why I feel responsible for him, I know I'm his CMO but...I guess I feel abit like his big sister...or what I imagine a big sister would be like...that kid needs to have someone he can trust in the middle of all of this chaos...we all do...

*audible yawn before the log goes quiet for three minutes*

Huh! Ugh...huh...

*sound of tossing and movements*

Where am I...whys there a light on on my console...

*log goes dead as it is manually shut down*
