As you will no doubt recall Captain, you tried to insist that you were well enough to return to duty, but I outrank you in these matters, so you remain in the medical bay, along with the majority of the other infected.

With the mutation sequence we have been able to get ahead of the virus and start curing our infirm. We’re pumping an inoculation through life support and have sent the formula to Ralos 3 as well, just to be safe. I believe an end is in sight.

A young man came bursting into the medical bay and said he ‘knew the formula’. After about 10 minutes I was able to get a straight answer from him and it became apparent that he had cracked the mutation sequence – impossible in the wild, but perfectly possible with a synthesised virus. Smart boy.

It transpires that you can feel unwell without having a mutating virus. I’m feeling fine now, but still under pressure to find out how to cure an illness that significantly changes every few hours. All 28 patients are alive, but who knows what the next day will bring, and I’m already beyond capacity.

This is just weird. The 'virus', for want of a better word, is mutating faster than we can immunise against it. This rapid adaptation does not appear in the wild – it is a synthesised attack. In the interests of full disclosure, I don't feel very well today.

To enable the captain's log to remain a useful account, protocol dictates I lock my log into his under these circumstances. The captain was brought in this morning, unconscious, like the other six crew members I already have here. Whatever's going on, it's bad.

Stardate: 203206

Just heard multiple crew members ill. Bad. More than

>error-indistinguishable speech, please repeat

Running hot, not eating, ache everywhere. Yung strongly suggested I stay in quarters. Must let Commander Stratton know.

Stardate: 203204

Really feeling quite unwell this morning. Still, Captain's don't have the privilege of days off. Nonetheless, I'll keep a low profile today.

Stardate: 203203

We arrive at Ralos 3 later today and it will be good to see all the original fleet reunited.

I am seriously out of shape. Less than an hour in the sports lounge yesterday and I feel horrible.

Stardate: 203202

I told Tommy to arrange a meeting between me and Ensign Mulder but haven’t heard back since. In the meantime I’m going to spend some time in the sports lounge for the first time this tour.

Stardate: 203201

We’re overdue some quiet days, so I’m hoping to catch up on some filework, amongst which is a commendation to Ensign Mulder. I'm recommending another commendation to Lieutenant Mulder's lead officer.

The Descubra and Freedom have departed, while Lieutenant Garcia stays with us to return to Ralos 3. Let’s hope the return journey is uneventful.

Stardate: 203199

Captain Ryan knows how to make an entrance. The Matak craft are normally a nuisance rather than a threat, but the sheer number of them created a potential problem. Then the GE-Freedom messaged us to drop out of subphonics and there she was. The Freedom is a massive ship and I’ve never seen a fleet turn and run as fast as the Mataks.

Like I said Siobhan, I owe you. Don’t leave it so long before we meet up again. And different circumstances please! Look after yourself.

Stardate: 203198

We are at full subphonic speed, trying to outpace a Matak fleet. The scan was a success and we have Lieutenant Garcia, but his former captors are not happy. I’m trying to talk Captain Hernandez down from turning and fighting.

Stardate: 203197

Jay Mulder and his brother have come up with a scanning algorithm that would find anyone who has spent considerable time in a GE-class ship. DuMond has just run me through the theory and it is, frankly, genius. We are about to implement it.

Stardate: 203196

This could be a long, protracted process. At the moment I can’t get a straight answer as to whether the Matak’s even have Lieutenant Garcia. Captain Hernandez is getting jumpy, which is understandable I suppose.

Stardate: 203195

We arrive at the Matak moon later today and, as the lead ship, I will be negotiating the lieutenant’s release. Still, I will check with DuMond that weapons are fully operational.

Stardate: 203194

I met with Captain Hernandez of the Descubra today and discovered we are going to a moon of the Matak home world. I can’t say I’m happy about that, but if that’s where Lieutenant Garcia is, then that is where we are going.

Stardate: 203193

The GE-Descubra has joined us in the search pattern, as Lieutenant Garcia served with them for a time. They say experience tells them where he will most likely be held, so we are making our way to coordinates they have supplied.

Stardate: 203192

We have developed a search strategy for the missing crewman, which is underway. Yung has checked over the crew of the Pioneer and all seem well, if concerned for their missing friend.

Stardate: 203191

I am pleased to report that the brother of our Ensign is now on board. Still, the missing crewman, Lieutenant John Garcia, is someone’s brother or son. Senior crew are meeting to discuss the best way forward.

Stardate: 203190

We have contacted the once-missing ship, GE-Pioneer, and discovered that the discrepancy in life-signs is due to a kidnapping. Before the Pioneer could raise shields, a crew member was beamed off board. Our priorities are changing regularly. We need to get to the remaining crew, get them on board, and then go find our missing crewman.
