Stardate: 203335

Repairs have sped up considerably as the crew of the Delta are coming over in shifts to assist us. Captain Smith and I have been discussing the Storm incident and trying to work out viable scenarios. Even if the captain went insane, he couldn’t do what he did on his own. It would take the cooperation of almost the entire crew. What happened on that ship?

The GE-Delta has arrived. I have to say I am relieved. We were in no condition to fight off another attack, so a friendly face is very welcome. Captain Smith (a Hargan whose actual name is unpronounceable using a human tongue) has offered to accompany us back to GE0, both by way of technical support and defence. I have gladly taken him up on the offer.

Our scanners are partially operational and the first thing reported is that a GE-class ship is bearing down on us; we just don’t know which one. I swear by everything I hold dear, if it’s the Storm, ready or not, I will blow it out of the sky.

Today has been an odd day. Decommissioning a crew member is hard at the best of times, but when it’s a close friend…I don’t know. The service went well, I just feel really weird about the whole scenario. I’ve booked some time with Counsellor Fxarga.

We have arranged a service for Tommy tomorrow, after which his escape pod will be released. Stratton and I agree that Lieutenant Commander Hanson is more than capable to take on the Chief Engineer role. He has kept repairs on a steady track and we stand a chance of being mobile next week.

Even worse than the damage to our ship has been the damage to our crew. A fight broke out in engineering today. I doubt disciplinary action will be taken but I’ve left Stratton to deal with it. I am less than focused at the moment.

This morning, Stardate 203329, Chief Engineer Thomas DuMond lost his final fight. I have never heard a ship as quiet as ours is today.
