Captain’s Log: July 16, 2156

Captain Tucker is becoming a problem. My transporter chief is having problems adapting the Defiant’s Technology to our systems. So logically I had Mr. Tucker removed from the brig and forced him to assist in the maintenance. Mr. Tucker did not enjoy that. He found a way to bypass the security protocols on the transporter and beamed directly to the launch bay. The bastard stole the prototype NCC shuttle, with adapted Defiant technology. He fired on my ship, my ship! Taking out the warp drive. The Paladin is now in pursuit of the fugitive captain. It appears that he has set course for a small Y class planet. He won’t survive very long if he lands so he must be planning something else. The enemies of the empire will fall at my knees.

As expected Voltmit thought it would be wise to rise against me. Fool! I had everything planned out, my personal guard was nearby and when he pulled his phase pistol on me he had four pointing directly in his face. I then took his phase pistol and burned his skin with a minimum close range yield. He endured fifteen minutes of the booth, quite impressive for a fool. I killed him with a dull batleth blade, in public display to make sure that no further uprisings occur. I have decided not to promote anyone else, perhaps some enjoyment will come from their attempts at proving their worth.

The former captain of the ISS Paladin NCC-803 is in the booth right now undergoing severe torture by out good doctor. The Paladin is now my ship. I control the most advanced ship in the fleet, with the exception of the Defiant, commanded by Empress Hoshi Sato herself. I command the allegiance of the crew, I have placed all non-terrains in crew quarters for now. Captain Tucker was too lenient toward their kind, I have taken it upon myself to make sure that he or the impure do not interfere with the will of the empire. In engineering I have placed my loyal right hand, Fredrik Voltmit. A skilled technician and worthy of promotion, his advancement threatens my own, however and I may be forced to dispose of him before he rallies too many to his side.
