Captain’s Log — U.S.S. Excalibur, NCC-87500
SD: 2024-1022.2215
It’s time to get this frakking show on the road.
Under my command, this Lamarr-class explorer has been our in space for the past seven months, but we have yet to conduct one single mission of exploration (or even diplomacy) beyond the scanning of whatever is within sensor range as we pass through the space in which we travel.
A lot of that I admit comes from my work within Alliance Central Command’s Malstrom Expeditionary Force, *BUT* when I accepted this role, it was understood that I would be a flag officer leading from the front lines.
Instead, we’ve spent the last many months ferrying crew and supplies to the various starbases, space stations and outposts within and surrounding the Malstrom Expanse.
And that has been a LOT of personnel that have boarded and disembarked this ship during that time.
But as a moment of pride, we can state that Hell’s Keep has been fully manned and in the process of a complete refit.
And Starbase Hatteras is also fully manned and operational with work underway to upgrade the starbase to its next and final form which will include full spacedock facilities.
This is not to say that we have no had a bit of adventure, however, and not all of it good.
Last week, we received an emergency distress call from a Klingon colony on Narvek IV with the contact itself sparse on details.
When we arrived, we found the outpost abandoned of all people.
There were signs of fire fight and battle, yet no bodies … of either attackers or those attacked.
Once the last of the supplies are dropped off at Kollaris Prime, we plan to return to the Narvek system to check in with the teams we left there and join them once again in the investigation and hunt to discover the fate of the colonists.
