On the basis that we lost transporters and none of the shuttles are operational, I agree with Tommy. We have a saboteur.

DuMond and I had a straight conversation this morning. He doesn't believe the ship is at fault. The alternative is not pretty.

Stardate: 203165

It just got worse. We lost subphonic ability, so we can't practically return home. We're stranded on a failing ship.

Stardate: 203164

It's unusual for Tommy to take so long to get a problem like this fixed. Still, it could be worse.

Stardate: 203163

We have a problem. The entire communication system is down. Not only do crew have to deliver messages in person, but we have lost all comms with Galaxy Explorer #0 on earth. We'll stay in orbit while DuMond and his crew fix it.

We have paused at Trelos 4 so the crew can eat some of the Trelings excellent food and get the nutritional units fixed. The last thing I need is an obese crew.

These are, by far and away, the biggest quarters I have ever been assigned.

I try and get round all the crew who have never flown with me before and spend two minutes talking to them. Nothing special, just to make them feel at home and try and make myself approachable. Let's shake it up and start at Z. Ok, no Zs. On to Ensign Yolander.

The medical centre is complaining of a lack of space in the event of major casualties and the galley say the nutritional units are failing and adding fat. Ah the joys of a new ship.

The GE-Forge is a fine ship and I believe she will serve us well. All hands to stations…

Stardate: 203157

Everyone is reporting ‘systems ready’, so I’ve suggested a shakedown – Neptune and back. Let’s see how she handles.

Stardate: 203156

Still in SP0 as there is an engine fault yet to be rectified.

Stardate: 203155

We have yet to leave Space Port #0 as the final tests are yet to be completed on the systems. They can be done by Space Port personnel but I always put in a request that the crew who will use them, test them. It instils confidence.

Command number 4. I never get tired of day 1 on a new ship. That fresh electron smell. About 20% of the crew have come across from my previous post on the GE-Armour and another 20% I know from previous posts, but the rest are either new to me or just plain new. It must be an exciting day for them.
