// I love listening you talk to your (other) self

Personal log, supplemental

I suppose I’ve let enough time go by to actually talk about events during this shift. For the sake of completion, then, not because I want to contemplate our actions again, let’s start:

A briefing from Commodore McCullough — he sounds even more pompous than Great Aunt Adelaide’s imitation of him. She would get so bore…[Read more]

Personal Log, supplemental.

I suppose that mint tea may of yours may have some beneficial effects after all. After several hours in the fencing sim, and a heat wrap, I may be approaching coherence. I really wanted a hot bath, but I’m not sure even your careless attitude to moneyed privilege would be able to secure that, on a Naval station.…[Read more]

At her console, Mundy waits for the orange screen

This is so bad for the eyes, they should call it Zaphod Orange… She mutters. Turning to Turnez, she adds, I need to change something from the sims, before I ever get to the mission logs. It was the Fleet Captain, of all people, replying to a remark about a minor malfunction being attributed to…[Read more]

Do we have any way of contacting the rebel human forces, Sir? Because if they knew what’s happening, they might be able to come to the sector and aid the civilians with evacuating.

Actually, Sir, I checked CIC comms records… clears throat very thoroughly, and there is no record of any such order.

I hope we are talking at cross purposes somehow, Nhaima. I am in total agreement that we need to get home with our ethics intact. But please bear with me, I have only just been woken and have arrived on shift much earlier than I expected. I have read the initial INI brief drafted by Lt. Cdr. Hall and Excision’s log. I have reviewed the partial…[Read more]

Mundy nods.

From what I’ve been able to find out in the past two shifts, I can confirm that our counterparts have taken part in similar operations before, with no objections appearing on their records. That means there are no reasons to suspect them of rebellious motives - well, no more reasons than the amount of suspicion and paranoia that s…[Read more]

I was more trying to work out whether they actually needed to evacuate and flee or if they had the option of staying in place now that the “seditious” station had been dealt with.

Was there already a clear order to depopulate the stations at that point and have the populations already left? Do any of theremaining station logs require alteration to support our narrative?

Pinpointing the one station as the source of infiltration and the loss of 3HG, seems to make sense.

Mundy’s hologram is affected by irregular pulses of static, that make it falter and fade from time to time

I’m here, Sir, and have been following. I had to set up a couple of extra steps to secure comms from CIC. Mr. Hall, Mr. Morlock and I can now join in safely from Cerberus.

My official reports from Cerberus Station comms show that con…[Read more]

An image shimmers into being and resolves into an unshaven Matsiyan with damp, tousled hair, one wing of his collar trapped under the rest of his jacket.

I overheard that. Just managed to establish a link. They should be able to join us as soon as they can escape physical scrutiny. I’m still trying to catch up on logs and work out what you’ve b…[Read more]
