Stardate: 203328

Crew are pulling double shifts to get the Forge back in shape, but we took a serious beating – it’ll take a while. Tommy’s stable, but Yung says it could go either way over the next day or so. I’ve delegated as much as I can to Stratton so I can spend my time in the medical bay. I’m not sure Marisa approves but lets face it, if I hadn’t made us fight, he wouldn’t be here.

I will attempt a legible entry today. Tommy’s hurt. Eight personnel ended up in the medical quarters. Five were discharged the same day, one has left today. That leaves two in a critical condition and DuMond is one of them. The Doctor is giving me regular updates. I’ve left Stratton to appoint an acting Chief Engineer.

I can’t……I didn’t know the……

No.

The Freedom has saved us again, although indirectly. One of their crewmembers who joined us after the wormhole incident has been keeping his light under his proverbial bushel. I have never see anyone execute an attack run like he did, especially considering the state we are in. The Storm has shot off and left us in peace, at least for now.

I’m tired of running. Fellow GE craft or not, at the next uninhabited planet, we’re turning and fighting. I fear it may be our last stand, but it must be taken. In the event of catastrophic failure or destruction, the emergency message pods will fire our farewell messages home. Let’s hope we don’t need them.

We're breaking all the rules just to try and stay ahead of the Storm, but they're kicking the plasma out of us. I don't understand! We need something to happen in our favour because, as things stand, we won't last to the end of today.

The GE-Storm is firing on us! Since yesterday, we have been in a defensive pattern, trying to evade it. Surely the crew have been overcome by some hostile force, and yet whoever is firing knows exactly where to hit us to cause most damage and what pattern we will fly. Just like a GE Captain would.
